Yeah it will probably be in the 85-91 range plus 181-187 for 79The Dallas pick is going to be lower than the #79 we traded, possibly in a less deep draft too.
Not sure how the value tracks

I guess one of our scouts went to the Hlinka...
True but often I feel like the most obvious picks are the best ones especially in lower rounds. Scouts tend to "big-brain" and over-analyze their picks.Im not gonna get wrapped up too much in these picks at this point. These guys have been passed up by every team several times at this point.
I just don't see the value in punting them off to a different draft year. Even if you project out that you have your minor league roster filled up, you can focus instead on picking guys in the USHL who are going off for 4 years of college, or you can pick a Russian whose rights you hold forever. A logjam needn't be created.Even if the Preds traded all their left over picks, the still have drafted a whole class already!!!!!!!!!
Overager, but really good. More Saros than Rinne. Great pick here, finally!Woot Finn goalie
We received CHI 4th round pickSo was that Tampa own pick we traded back to them for a 4th next year? Basically gambling that they will suck more next year?
I know it's anathema around here but he's actually proven to be a fairly sought-after veteran presence. Shoot, the team that just drafted 1st overall (and will suck next year again) just traded for the rights to negotiate with him 2 days early (he's a UFA).Haha, Corey Perry to Chicago. That's the right place for him.
I was digging through earlier. Easily our worst rounds. Anthony Bitetto, Mike Santorelli, Cal O'Rielly were the only even remotely recent/decent guys in the 5/6.So we have obviously had several 4th rounders hit big (saros, arvy, smith) and some very late hits(Pekka, Parsinnen, Erat, Skrastins)
But have we ever had a 5th or 6th round pick amount to anything?
