GDT: 2017 NHL Entry Draft Part II

[Spoiled Bratt]

A little light on D.

I'm liking the fact that we're going after legit talent instead of those safe two way guys with bottom #6 upside. We'll take care of the blueline next year, which is talked about as being a very solid draft with great talent on the back end.

 

[Alex NJD]

Strome is not the best looking player thats for sure

 

[RememberTheName]

Pretty sure Chmelevski is still on the board too? Along with Safin & Bellerive.

Lots of forward depth in this draft.

I forgot about Chmelevski. Would not mind drafting him or Safin in the 5th. For goalies, Primeau is available

 

[Davegarri]

Holy **** Strome is ugly as sin

They all are.

Philly can have him. Don't want to look at that every game.

Also I'm even more happy we won the lottery because of the chance we'd end up with Mittelstadt. The kid looks like he's constantly trying to fart

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

I'm sure there are some high floor lower ceiling stay at home dman we can grab in the later rounds now. We could use one of those guys.

 

[Spoiled Bratt]

Sounds like Minny is trying to move Scandella and not Brodin or Dumba

I played summer hockey with Scandella here in Montreal a couple of years ago. I don't see us getting him after we made a deal for Mueller but I'd be SUPER thrilled if we managed to get him somehow.

 

[EnglishDevil]

Consistent with the swedish theme, pretty sure Elvenes is still on the board too, he'd be good value

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Really solid pipeline of forwards in the system right now. Great to see.

 

[GeNeXt]

Ivan Chekhovich also still on the board.

 

[RememberTheName]

Safin is gone

 

[rrekaj13]

Kings get Markus Phillips

Always been super impressed with their drafting, always find high-quality, high-gem players, even late in the draft

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Lol the Rags took some kid from Glen Rock?

 

[glenwo2]

brandon crawley to the rags

 

[OmNomNom]

rags took the NJ boy

 

[NJDevs26]

Kings get Markus Phillips

Always been super impressed with their drafting, always find high-quality, high-gem players, even late in the draft

This is the first year of the new regime but they definitely seem to be getting nice value picks. Maybe their old scouting team is still there through this draft?

 

[EnglishDevil]

Elvenes, Chmelevski or Bellerive would be good for our pick

 

[glenwo2]

rags took the NJ boy

Well at least Brandon won't have to relocate far.

 

[RememberTheName]

Awesome someone from Glen Rock, Brandon Crawley

Desperate, I asked Nikita Popugaev (NJD, No. 98) if he could influence Ilya Kovalchuk to make a decision. He laughed at me.

 

[The Wumpus]

Wouldn't hate Primeau with one of our remaining picks

 

[Davegarri]

Crawley is 20 years old? Nice pick Rags

 

[OmNomNom]

i predict our next pick.... will be a diamond in the rough

also hey look, commercial 1 pick before ours

 

[RememberTheName]

Dang Elvenes drafted

 

[RememberTheName]

Are you kidding me ANOTHER COMMERCIAL

 

[EnglishDevil]

There goes Elvenes to Vegas, teams need to stop picking guys I want right before we're up to bat
