GDT: 2013 NHL Entry Draft

[Petes2424]

Rangers.

 

[Claypool]

I remember when everyone thought the Jake Paterson pick was terrible last year.

 

[mindfly]

He's still there. So is Duclair.

Buchnevich is gone

 

[FlashyG]

Wings take Mattias Janmark-nylen (C) 6'1 189lbs from AIK in Sweden

 

[Laser Rayzor]

Steal by the Rangers, If both picks develop to their full potential NYR will have a Top 6 winger and Detroit will have a 13th forward goon.

 

[Gyldenlove]

I just think they must see some offensive potential in him. If they had your view on him, surely they would NEVER have picked him.

I quite agree. I am sure they didn't put up names on the wall, blindfolded a midget and had him throw a dart to determine who they picked.

There are reasons why, and I am sure they are quite determined that those are good reasons - I mean there are also reasons they gave Tootoo 1.9 million dollars a year for 4 years and Samuelson 3 million dollars a year. Ultimately the draft is a trading show, you have some number of resources (picks) and you want to get as much value as possible, I think in this case the pick they spent was worth more than what they got in return in the sense that I believe they could have gotten Bertuzzi in a later round and picked up a player with this pick that can't get in a later round.

Sports is a game of hits and misses, everybody has them. I am sure Snow isn't happy about that deal he gave DiPietro knowing that DiPietro gets injured if a mosquito looks at him, on the other hand the deal Chicago gave Keith appears to be paying off marvelously. Time will tell if this was a win or loss.

I love how people talk about these players like they've ever watched them play before lmao

 

[mindfly]

Detroit picks Mattias Janmark Nylén (C/LW)

HÃ¥kan pick

He's born 1992 btw

 

[Petes2424]

There's your over ager

 

[grsbmd]

Mattias Janmark-Nylen? Not ranked by central scouting.

 

[1st Line Interloper]

Detroit picks Mattias Janmark Nylén (C/LW)

HÃ¥kan pick

He's born 1992 btw

Immediately what I thought, numbers don't look bad.

 

[ricky0034]

I love how people talk about these players like they've ever watched them play before lmao

there's a reason he was ranked like 300th by scouting services

the guy has no ceiling

 

[ProPAIN]

Hakan pick comes through

 

[DatsyukToZetterberg]

Mattias Janmark-Nylén. Let's see what he can do next year.

 

[mindfly]

Duclair picked after... Well this swede is bigger and played against men in the swedish elite league... although there's 2½ years age difference

 

[XO]

and Buchnevich to Rangers. I like that were drafting some size and grit, but just seem terribly stupid taking a gamble on a guy like Bertuzzi who we most likely could've drafted in the 3rd or even lower over a player as talented as Buchnevich.

 

[Ennui]

Still no talk of DET trading any of its excess baggage? Someone please tell me that there has been some back and forth, anything...

 

[gretskidoo]

He really improved this year. Decent pick. Probably would've been available in the 7th, though.

Hope they can snag Lucas Wallmark in the 4th.

 

[TheNextDaigle]

Marchand scored 1 point per game in his draft year in the CHL. It wasn't unexpected that he could put up points.

Marchand had 95 points, +40 rating in his first 2 years in CHL.
Bertuzzi has 39 points, even rating in his first 2 years.

Marchand produced 20 playoff points in his first 2 years, Bertuzzi has 2.

Bertuzzi does have more PIM (185 to 135) so he will put his team on the penalty kill more often, so at least he contributes something....

Interestingly Lucic produced these numbers in his draft year for Van Giants in the WHL: 62G - 9G - 10A - 19P. PIM 149. Not very impressive either.

The season after: 70G - 30G - 38G - 68P. 147 PIM.

In other words, there is hope for Bertuzzi.

I'm not sure why you keep asking...if Detroit made a trade there would be pages of talk about it and its own thread also.

 

[RedWingsNow*]

MATTIAS JANMARK-NYLEN
over age swede/ Nice stats
Decent height--

Corey Pronman on Detroit last pick: "DET selects Nylen. He has a lot of skill, good offensive instincts, decent body. Feet are a little heavy."

 

[mindfly]

Am impressed by Montreals drafting :O

 

[gretskidoo]

Edmonton is snagging all the Russians now.
