NHL Entry Draft 2019 Entry Draft Discussion (part 2)

[FormentonTheFuture]

For the record, GMMicklebot's picks assuming he was at podium:

19: Tomasino
32: Kaliyev
37:Lavoie (or if taking Kaliyev at 32 meant Lavoie was gone, Afanasyev)

Also, I wouldn't have traded up, so if I still had 44 and 83

44: Afanasyev
83: Honka


So, in 5 years from now, it will be:

Thomas, Pinto and Mads Sogaard
vs
Tomasino, Kaliyev, Lavoie, Afanasyev, and Honka.

I like my group sooooo much better... Hope I'm wrong. I had the first three guys as toss ups at 19 for me, and Afanasyev as an intriguing guy that I was hoping would still be there at 32.

you wouldn’t have both Lavoie and Afanasyev in your scenario.

 

[Micklebot]

There are at least a half dozen groups I'd like better

I honestly feel like we could have landed 3 to 4 guys I expected to be gone in the 1st round.

Really not happy with the way this draft went.

It was very bad.

Oops, corrected. thx

Every single pick has been an overager or a late birthday. Haven't taken a single 2001-birthday, in the 2001 birth-year draft.

Bottom sixers don’t deman a lot of money

I'll play too (also would not trade up)

19: Heinola
32: Brink
44: Rees
83: Kokkonen

fixed your op for you...

 

[Hale The Villain]

19: C, Phillip Tomasino
32nd: LW, Egor Afanasyev
44th: C, Jamieson Rees
83rd: D, Henry Thrun

Ugh what could have been.

 

[Peptic Balcers]

I didn't trade up so I'd still have 44 and 83 (so I omitted 37th)

 

[Artanis]

Hey, but what you didn't know is that these guys are all friends with other prospects we have!

 

[Laphroaig]

I'm deadly serious when I say that there are several posters here who would have done a far superior job of drafting than Pierre Dorion has.
This day has been hugely disappointing.

 

[Adele Dazeem]

Why do we need so many similar or bottom-6 type centers; we really could've used a nice winger on the right side...
In any case we should all start the ritual to hopefully with the lottery next season.

 

[Micklebot]

Your OP skipped pick 32 and went straight to 44 picking Brink, who wouldn't have been there. I can revert the post back to how it was in my quoted text (minus the bold) if you like...

 

[Beville]

What happened to our 6th?

 

[Icelevel]

19: C, Phillip Tomasino
32nd: LW, Egor Afanasyev
44th: C, Jamieson Rees
83rd: D, Henry Thrun

Ugh what could have been.

YEah id just try and fit Robertson in there

ah didn't see that you fixed er, thanks

 

[Agent Zub]

The problem with Pierre Dorion is that he thinks he's the smartest person in the room.

 

[aragorn]

#19 - Poulin, Beecher or Foote
#32 - Lavoie, Kaliyev or Afanasyev
#44 - Pinto, Helleson or Robertson
#83 - Sogaard, Schwindt or Protas
#94 - Spiridonov, Keppen or Donovan
#125 - Primeau, Caulfield or Has
#187 - Kastellic, Williams or Francis

Because they are cheaper and if they even pan out they wont demand much money. They would find a way to botch a lottery win no doubt as well.

 

[Ouroboros]

Anders Nilsson trade.

 

[Peptic Balcers]

Who do we think they're taking in the 7th? Feels like NAHL time or someone from Belarus3

 

[BK201]

Sogaard was mocked mid second round dude no way he's there at 83 and #2 nhl central scouting for goaltenders this draft.

Seriously not sure how anyone can think who we draft is motivated by money, or how anyone can be upset by who we pick beyond round 2.

Additionally, Dorion’s scouts should have enough credibility for everyone to back away from the ledge.

Outside of the 1st round, any players taken statistically has a less than 50% chance of playing something like 100 games in the NHL.

Absolutely. That being said - outside of the 1st i'd rather a player with 25-50% chance of success but top 6 upside versus a player with 75% probability of success and top 9 upside. The draft analytics say as much. Draft for skill as much as possible as you move farther in the draft. Moving up doesn't usually tend to be beneficial often either.

They've yet to take a local boy so...
