2015 NHL Entry Draft Part 1

[TT1]

btw guys if anyone is looking for an nhl draft value chart i have a pretty recent one, its pretty handy in mock drafts and such (overall draft knowledge aswell)

 

[TT1]

So far I'm favouring:

Jansen Harkins and Thomas Novak as centres and Brandon Carlo and Rasmus Anderson on D. Those are 4 that aren't the "sexy" pick but they would fit in great with our team.

If a centre or defensemen are not available someone like Jordan Greenway and Nikita Korostelev are decent pickups as well.

ditto on your 4 picks but im personally higher on Boeser over Novak

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

I really liked what I saw out of Provorov. Great reads and poise for a 17 year old playing some hard minutes in the WHJC. Too bad he'll be long gone by the time we pick.

 

[Intangiblezz]

ditto on your 4 picks but im personally higher on Boeser over Novak

They are similar in my mind. Seeing them both play I see Novak more as a centre in the future and Boeser as a winger long term. Should go very close in the draft. Boeser does have great puck control.

 

[DekeLikeYouMeanIt]

Don't want any part of Cernak.

 

[TT1]

Don't want any part of Cernak.

as a 4th-5th round pick? obviously not in the 2nd/3rd

 

[DekeLikeYouMeanIt]

He just made too many boneheaded plays with little pressure. Yea you can't teach size and all that but you also can't teach brains. My opinion anyway.

I say the HABS trade the next 1500 7th round picks 210th overall to aquire #1 overall and pick McDavid

I don't know how the second one got there....oh well
I mean, we won't be picking in the 7th round for the next 1500yrs but I think it's worth the gamble

So the Habs did well on the Tinordi trade...

#22(550)
#113(23.5)

for

#27(400)
#57(122)

Gave up 522 and got 573.5

Very good ranking IMO.

Only question would be why would't you be happy with White or Korostelev? A case can definitely be made to pass on Korostelev with even a late 1st rounder but White?

Crouse at the number 3 slot is pure lunacy. And I like the kid

Really like the kid and that's about where I'd have him as well.

Pretty terrible rankings for ISS as far as I'm concerned. No Roy in the first and Crouse at 3rd is too high IMO.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

so who is this years undersized kid with top-10 talent that will fall into the 2nd round?

cause I'm okay with drafting him

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

It looks like ISS is favoring a more size oriented ranking this year and Button is going with a very pure skills oriented one. I guest it depends in part on whether you think teams will be influenced as much by the Kings winning the cup as the last time where a clear effect was visible.

so who is this years undersized kid with top-10 talent that will fall into the 2nd round?

cause I'm okay with drafting him

Beauvillier actualy would be a good bet, I do see him slipping a little on size concern alone.

Not a top-10 talent but IMO Carrier is one who will go much lower than people expect. Second round talent but with his size I wouldn't be surprised if he was drafted in the 5th round or lower.
