GDT: 2017 NHL Entry Draft - 6/23 & 6/24 - 4PM - NBCSN

[KG]

Totally disagree and I think you might be the most frustrated person here lol. Lots of good things in the past 24 hours

he's just mad forunier isn't w/ the big club

 

[Hinterland]

Why would Philly want another Center?

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

Philly is going to take Tolvanen

 

[ClassLessCoyote]

Penguins fans aren't happy with the latest trade involving the 31stOV. Why? Look what your team just did recently. Can't keep everyone happy I guess.

 

[ClassLessCoyote]

Nope, unless it's in a later round.

EDIT: Nashville picked him up.

It did cost them Kostin...who's gonna be a very good player and should have been selected earlier. Probably his injury that scared GM's away...

Eh. I'm happy.

Going off of the NHL Prospect Rankings...

NA skaters still available
#14 Jason Robertson LW 6'2 196 (L)
#15 Isaac Ratcliffe C 6'6 200 (L)
#18 Conor Timmins D 6'2 184 (R)
#20 Nicholas Hague D 6'6 207 (L)
#21 Jaret Anderson-Dolan C 5'11 191 (L)
#23 Kole Lind RW 6'1 185 (R)
#24 Grant Mismash LW 6'0 181 (L)
#25 Nick Henry RW 5'11 190 (R)

Euro Skaters still available
#10 Jesper Boqvist C 5'11 165 (L)
#12 Marcus Davidsson C 6'0 191 (L)
#13 Alexei Lipanov C 6'0 169 (L)
#14 Ostap Safin RW 6'5 192 (L)
#15 Filip Westerlund D 5'11 174 (R)
#16 Alexandre Texier C 6'0 187 (L)
#17 Joni Ikonen C 5'11 177 (R)​

Of the above, for #35, my "rankings":
1. Robertson
2. Lind
3. Ratcliffe
4. Ikonen
5. Timmins
6. Henry

We have Colorado, Vancouver, and Vegas ahead of us.

• Colorado probably snags Robertson (they took a D in the 1st)
• Vancouver should grab Timmins (since they went forward in round 1)
• Vegas is a wild card here, so BPA for them may be Ratcliffe (their forward ranks could use a big Center in the system)

So, my guess would be that we end up with Lind, but we could possibly select Hague or Ikonen.

 

[Grvmnd]

Seems most think it was a good pick. Solid two-way guy who can move the puck.

Also, has there ever been a draft where the panel just trashes on the quality of players this much?

Even where we picked him chychrun got dumpstered

[BUX7PHX]

Hoping we trade back, and I am hearing rumors we are...

#35 to PHL for #44, #75, and #108

 

[rt]

Nice trade. I think we go Evan Barratt at 44.

I'm hoping for Ikonen because I want Pho and IPPi to be happy.

 

[rt]

Hurts to see Gildon and Geekie go. I want Lodnia.

 

[rt]

Marchand or Lodnia please.

 

[rt]

Every pick so far has had a name plate.

 

[rt]

Chayka wasn't kidding when he said in a draft like this one, you want a ton of picks.

 

[Ebb]

Well, I wish we would have kept #35 and drafted Robertson or Ratcliffe, but the scouts know better tan I do.

At this point, I guess it's RHS or bust for the rest of the draft

 

[TheLegend]

Got up a little bit ago and checked Twitter..... damn Chayka's been busy.

I like Entwistle better than those guys. I think we did well.

 

[IPreferPi]

Happy with the Crotty pick, okay with the rest today except for Westerlund at 44. Really wish we picked up Ikonen instead - we still lack a talented RH goal scorer in our pool, and Ikonen fits that bill and more.

 

[OriginalJetsCoyotes]

Can someone run down the trades for me today? I was at work.

 

[SniperHF]

Just a bunch of pick for more later picks trades and we learned our 2018 pick from Calgary for Smith is actually 2019.

Not sure I'm thrilled with the first trade down, but the "more picks the better" is a generally sound idea in any draft. Best way to get a couple hits out of the draft is to simply have more swings.

I swapped the 35 for 44 + 80 in a few mocks I participated in. Thrilled that Chayka effectively did the same and also managed to get a fourth added to it.

Not really a fan of who he ended up picking at 44, but am very pleased Chayka aggressively moved down multiple times in this draft to accumulate picks. There's a lot of unsung talent in a so-called weak draft (that was only relatively weak at the top).

Not really a fan of who he ended up picking at 44,*...

That's probably what is souring my feelings on it.
