Speculation: 2019 NHL Entry Draft

[predhead1]

Hopefully Poile's playing chess.

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

Nice, it's Brink!

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

Oh wait...

 

[TitansVolsPreds615]

So now we have two 2nds. I like restocking the farm.

 

[Osprey]

Until 45 minutes ago, they had no idea that they'd be picking at #34, so I suppose that it makes sense to trade it. The alternative would've been to use it on a player that probably didn't heavily vet or on one of the players that they did heavily vet but who'd likely be available later in the round.

 

[ViktorBaeArvidsson]

Egor Afanasyev, solid pick up, would’ve preferred Brink, but eh what eves

 

[King Weber]

Senile f*** picks Afanasyev with the 45th pick.

 

[Sabre Toothed]

Love our picks. We are killing it!

 

[King Weber]

Grewe and Dorofeyev still available and he picks Alex Campbell. Alrighty then.

 

[Roman Yoshi]

Grewe was the guy I really really wanted in the third round.

Sniveling about a third round pick is like being upset about that online date ad you didn't score from because you didn't click it.

Someone is in a good mood this morning.

Moron swaps 3rd rounders again

 

[Enoch]

What an awful day for David Poile.

A mid range third rounder this year for an unspecified third rounder next year?

Laughable.

 

[Soundgarden]

Laughable.

We have 7 picks next year now instead of five. We also have five in the first three rounds.

They traded a current third round pick for an unspecified pick in third round next year. That is bad SG

 

[Roman Yoshi]

Obviously Poile likes next year's draft better.

 

[King Weber]

Obviously Poile likes next year's draft better.

Supposed to be a really deep draft so that's at least good.

Eh, we do it every year pretty much and it's a mid third.

Seems a little dramatic don't you think....

 

[Enoch]

Most teams value their current year draft picks far more than uncertain position draft picks the following year. This isn’t a hard one to follow, but go for it. If you really think that is a smart decision, I’m not going to be able to convince you otherwise.

TMI, dude!

It's been Poile's MO to do a deal like this. In fact, that's how we got Craig Smith and Anders Lindback.
Smith turned into a solid top 6er and Lindback surprisingly netted us 2 2nd round picks, Sissons and Aberg.

It doesn't always work, that same draft we did the same thing and netted Nick Olive, who? But sometimes it does.

 

[King Weber]

Numbnuts takes a 5 minute timeout in the 6th round.

 

[Armourboy]

Some of yall seriously need to chill. Being upset because he took an extension in the late rounds? Lol.
