GDT: 2017 NHL Draft | Day 2 Begins | Part III

[Morgs]

He's gone. Pittsburgh at #93.

****.

 

[Kazparov]

Typical Burkie

Typical Burke indeed. Thank you Lou for not pulling that deal

 

[Caesium]

Is Popugayev a possibility? He has a lot of question marks but he could be a home run pick. He didnt do so great when he was traded and i remember hearing questions about his attitude but his size and offensive skills could be interesting.

I wouldn't be shocked if a lot of teams have him marked as a no draft. These later round picks are so random in the end that I think he'd be worth the gamble.

 

[kk87]

****.

Nah they took the other Phillips

Losing a 3rd for Babcock irks me, didn't they change it the year after too?

 

[Cor]

Whoever is doing the updating to the NHL.com draft tracker, keeps turning the thing into reverse order.

How does that happen? :laugh;

 

[Knies iT]

He's gone. Pittsburgh at #93.

That's Clayton Phillips, not Markus, who i'm assuming he's hoping for?

 

[SprDaVE]

I would love for the Leafs to go with that 5'7" Russian. His name escapes me. That would be the kind of homerun pick I'd be complete fine with from here on out.

 

[Duffman955]

Well zhukov is gone

 

[supermann_98]

At this point, Leafs are probably going to go obscure with their picks. I don't feel like they'll take someone people expect. Just a gut feeling.

Yeah I wouldn't get my hopes up on anyone you may want t this point. Even if he's there it's likely they pick someone you've maybe never heard of

 

[SprDaVE]

Nah they took the other Phillips

Yeah it wasn't Markus. My bad.

 

[Cor]

Good to see Burke still hates having 2nd round picks

 

[Eyre]

nooo, shaw got taken

 

[Rare Jewel]

There's a group of Russians from the Q that haven't gone yet.

 

[Knies iT]

Ganske, Minulin, Safin, Strome, Thilander, Scott, Popugaev, Phillips, Manyukin are some intriguing names still on the board.

 

[Morgs]

Phewwww. Thanks guys, saved my life.

 

[Zybalto]

2018 1st from Calgary unprotected?

They all ready have Giordano and Hamilton RHDs. Not sure why they needed to go so hard after Hamonic. Really bizarre.

I'd much rather make a huge package offer for Trouba instead.

 

[Mess]

I'm looking at goalie Ian Scott (Prince Albert, WHL)

 

[WilliamNylander]

Looks like it. Dahlin?

Artyom Manukyan.

First player to ever break the 100-point barrier in the Russian junior league.

 

[Cor]

Safin is my guy if he's there.

100%

 

[SprDaVE]

Artyom Manukyan.

Hell yeah.

 

[Morgs]

Bye Popugaev

 

[Cor]

I'm gonna owe Bert so many beers
