Stop It With The Random Eklund Trade Comments

Yes, he's my favorite player. Yes what I'm about to say affected one of my recent posts, but that's not what this is about. I get that everyone is excited about our 2OA. And I get that we really need defense and Eky is a proven, young player who could still reach his ceiling and that makes him valuable. But that doesn't mean that people need to go into EVERY post about Eklund and talk about trading him, especially posts that have NOTHING to do with our roster situation.

I don't know if they are trolling or just really that dense to recognize it's not always the right thread to comment about that. Shoot, we have a mega thread where you can go and post to your heart's delight about the subject. And I realize posting this here, will inevitably invite these people here. Oh well. I just needed to say this.

Jersey Display Case Arrived

Got a Jersey display case that I'm displaying my Eky signed jersey, along with an Eky signed hockey stick blade and puck. Going in my Nerdy Sports Cave I showcased a couple weeks back.

Thoughts on McKenna?

This isn't a trade thread or anything like that. If Toronto does the unthinkable and drafts Stenberg or even Reid, what does the fandom think of McKenna? We know GMMG loves his big boys, and I wonder if McKenna's size deters him from taking him. We already have three slightly smaller players in Celebrini, Smith, and Misa. Taking a 4th would leave our top 6 a bit undersized. Also, we know his two way game, something Warso is big on pushing for, is a bit lacking.

At the same time, does anyone want to see McKenna in our division with a chip on his shoulder that we passed on him? Or worse, does anyone want to see him in our conference paired up with Bedard?

What are your thoughts on him? Is his ceiling worth taking him? Would we see an amazing duo of Misa and McKenna, like our top line? Or is his size and lack of defense something that should worry us?

Not to be out done, here is my Sharks bedroom. Forgot to mention I'm the video, but the paint on the wall is called Shark Fin Grey, lol. Hope you enjoy!

Even the Score writers are drinking the Kool-Aid of McDavid and Celebrini tag team. The idea is fun to dream about, but I can't even imagine the assets we'd have to give up for McJesus...

I've gotta think 2 or three of Eklund, Misa, Graf, Chernyshov or Dickinson, along with adding a couple of Musty, Bystedt, Ravensburgen, Halttunen, and some 1st round picks.

Honestly, at this point, as much as the idea of 5 or so years of Celebrini and McDavid playing together would be amazing, I have to think we should just stay the course.

I got this hat off Ebay. It's signed by a majority of the 2016 - 2017 team (notable autos missing are Burnzie and Joner). Still very happy to have this in my collection. While my Nerdy Sports Man Cave is not finished (both in the terms of housing and in terms of putting everything up), I am starting to furnish it and decorate. I should have a video soon showing everything off (I'll probably do a video of my Sharks bedroom as well and show off the "whole" collection).
