GDT: 2021 Draft - Part 4 - 8pm SN, NHL network, TSN1200

[Speatleysson]

Should let McGuire. He'll start drooling talking about intangibles

Lol.. he was the guy that told sens fans to chill out when we flipped out over the Karlsson pick.

 

[Emerica]

Is there a Matt Kassian type we could grab in the second?

 

[Micklebot]

We are good at drafting but the first round isn’t always our strong suit IMO. This feels like another arrow in that quiver.

Here's hoping this is more Wheeler or Scheifele and less Lee or Hickey.

 

[Adele Dazeem]

So a bargain bin version of Tom Wilson? With a top-10 pick? Great.

 

[Speatleysson]

So basically he's a strong/tough/pesky player. 2nd to 3rd round pick.. not 10th overall. This is dog****

He played 5 games this year. There's not much to scout. Their opinion is as valuable as ours at this point

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

“I can’t believe Ottawa passed on Zadina for Tkachuk”

WHAT ARE THEY THINKING!!?

Let's be honest here.

It's pretty difficult for any decent scouting staff to f*** up a top 5 pick. Selecting Tkachuk or Timmy or Sanderson isn't exactly rocket surgery. We have had quite a few misses in the past decade picking in the bottom half of the first round, and beyond.

 

[PatrickEaves]

Still think we should have traded Norris, Sanderson and the 10th overall pick for Eichel. We wouldn't have gotten all this whining about pick on this board.

 

[OmniSens]

f***... Another great pick for Winnipeg.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

So basically he's a strong/tough/pesky player. 2nd to 3rd round pick.. not 10th overall. This is dog****

Imagine if the Islanders wasted a 5th overall pick on Brayden Point in 2014 instead of Michael Dal Colle. f***ing donkeyballs!

 

[GermanSpitfire]

All these American players seem depressed as hell getting selected by these Canadian teams lol

 

[Sensinitis]

A good player always seems to drop to Winnipeg, and Chevy always looks so happy about it

 

[Hale The Villain]

I thought we were getting Lucius at 10 when Dorion mentioned the USNTDP

Steal for the Jets. That's a team that doesn't overthink their picks.

 

[Micklebot]

I honestly don't know Boucher well at all, I haven't followed the draft much this year whatsoever. I am not saying its a good pick. That said, the burden is not on me here. People are saying we could have traded down.... that is an assumption that we have no solid reason to believe. If you drive drunk, 99/100 times nothing bad will happen. Authoritatively saying "nothing bad will happen" is still wildly presumptive, though.

McKenzie's lists are not gospel, and this year is a particularly unpredictable year. We might have been able to trade down... he might have gone 4 picks later, and we would have been a 90th overall pick richer while missing out on our guy.

Lol comparing this to drunk driving, we're done here...

 

[Icelevel]

I really thought Lucius and tkachuk would have been perfect line mates.

Hope we don’t regret that one.

Nothing against our boy Boucher.

 

[Speatleysson]

Imagine if the Islanders wasted a 5th overall pick on Brayden Point in 2014 instead of Michael Dal Colle. f***ing donkeyballs!

Thats not how drafting works. Dal colle was the better player available. You always take the BPA and hope it pans out. Never do you reach for a 2nd rounder with the 10th pick; at least trade back ffs.

Yes and we had a lot of success too, the problem I have is the so many posters here ONLY FOCUS on the bad picks and never on the good picks! I don't know why that is? Is it because they think they could do a better job then the actual GM and SCOUTS??? I don't get it!

Vesalainen worked so well for them after falling

 

[Emerica]

very surprised to see Wallstedt last this far. Will probably see another team move up for a goalie pretty soon

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

It's a display of logic... it can be about literally anything at all. It can be about picking Halloween candy. It can be about getting caught in infidelity. We already have 'intel' that NYR was targeting him. There is no reason, anywhere near conclusive, to expect that trading down and getting Boucher was a simple endeavor.[/QUOTE]

What if the Isles had Point as the BPA and were worried about moving back?

That’s EXACTLY how drafting works

The sens don't have an actual gm or actual scouts

 

[albator71]

What is this "I hope we don't regret this"??? Listen I think that even if Boucher dont pan out that it will make a big difference to be honest. You guys are too dramatic!!!
