2021 Draft Position Tracker

For me, it would be different if it was Tatar, Nyquist, Jurco, Mantha, etc. But Mrazek was different.

Osgood
Howard
Mrazek

We haven’t had many home grown goalies and Mrazek was suppose to be a young star goalie. I’d certainly like the pick at 22 vs 23. But if there’s anyone that I care about winning a cup outside of the wings, it’s Mrazek.

I’d actually like him to return this summer.

That would make absolutely no sense for the player or the team.

Re-sign Bernie after the expansion draft. Done.

im good with that too.

 

[lhsgolf19]

One TB win away from I believe the #23 pick... Not too bad folks, very excited

 

[jkutswings]

Probably the safer option, since Mrazek will likely follow this performance up with 4 goals allowed on 19 shots, reminding everybody why he was dealt.

Or 6 on 26.

 

[DetroitRed]

So, the first-rounder from the Capitals... Washington didn't win their division in the regular season and it looks like teams with worse records than them who will not make it into the conference finals total six:

1. Boston or Islanders
2. Nashville
3. Oilers
4. Jets or Habs
5. Wild
6. Blues

So, 16 + 6 = 22 (twenty-second over all pick).

However, remembering the Coyotes lost their first round pick, it will really be the 21st selection over all. Am I correct (22nd pick, but really 21st over all)?

 

[Leadzedder]

So close.

If there’s 16 teams that didn’t make the playoffs and 6 teams that finished below them that aren’t going to the 3rd round that would mean 22 teams pick before them.

So, pick 23. Which is 22 factoring in Arizona.


But getting the 22nd choice is a big win considering WAS was very close to winning their division (tie breaker)

If WAS got 1 more point in the regular season that pick would be 27. (26)

LOL. OK I think that will be my last ginger ale.

Yeah, 23rd over all, 22nd in reality. Thanks!

Drink up. The nights young.

 

[DetroitRed]

Drink up. The nights young.

The funny part is I understood the complex hockey draft system but f***ed up 16 + 6.

 

[Leadzedder]

Couple more drinks and you won’t need math.

 

[Leadzedder]

23 (22)

 

[WaW]

Can't complain about that Washington pick moving up 3 out of a possible 4 spots. You love to see it.

I remember people saying they wanted Mantha to succeed in WSH at our expense. Absurdity. Glad the pick worked out so well now let's find a good gem from it!

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

I know people like to say late firsts are basically seconds, but this should remind us that you can pick up a lot more value than expected. There's going to be a good player there at 23.

 

[Go Wings]

22nd gotta love that, I really think Cossa will be available at that spot.

In recent years there have been some pretty high performing late 1st rounders in the NHL. Looking at picks 22 to 30 between 2007 and 2017 there's a pretty high success rate with those picks.

I think the trick is to draft guys with the best hockey names, because we all know that if you have a great hockey name it increases your chances of making it. The guys that busted in those ranges all sound like they should be working at the cell phone kiosk in costco. "Hi, I'm Tom McCollum! I'd like to help you save money on your cell phone bill."

I prefer to view early 2nds as basically late 1sts

Excited for someone like the Canucks to take Stankoven or Samoskevich or Zellweger just to have the chance to listen to Jim Hughson over-pronounce their names.

Well, I guess that explains Dennis Cholowski.

Pretty much. The dude looks like he should be running a twitch stream.

I am pretty sure I would like Brennan Othmann a lot better if he had a different name.

Hard for me to get behind drafting a guy where every time you say his name it sounds like you have a lisp.

Time to get this thread going again? Maybe we can just change the title name.
