GDT: Draft Day 2016

[InjuredChoker]

damn you sens.

Stevie is having a tough week so far it seems, tough value there unloading last years first...

'14 first. not last year.

 

[mindfly]

No pick until... 100 something right?

 

[Seider Town]

Smith, first black player ever for the wings?

4th.
Brian Johnson (3 games in 83-84)
Tony McKegney (14 games in 89-90)
Nathan Robinson (5 games in 03-04)

 

[Frk It]

Didn't think Clague would still be around at 46, think we might regret not taking him there.

 

[Ingvar]

Not exicted by Hronek at all but I haven't heard of him before draft so I'm biased.

 

[Frk It]

Surprised Dineen has not been taken as well.

 

[Zetterberg4Captain]

while i know we're not scouts kinda surprised with our picks

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

No pick until... 100 something right?

Yup pick #107

 

[mindfly]

while i know we're not scouts kinda surprised with our picks

After Nill and some other guy I can't remember the name of left, most picks have been odd... they don't seem to go for the most skilled anymore... and seems to go for more NA and less europe players

 

[HisNoodliness]

Hronek seems like a decent pick and that Hakan was willing to speak up and take a guy in the second bodes well for him. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. I really wanted Fox though.

 

[Frk It]

Seems like we are going for project picks this year.

 

[InjuredChoker]

Seems like we are going for project picks this year.

i like that approach.

 

[Zetterberg4Captain]

Seems like we are going for project picks this year.

its because we have so many elite young players as it is, we have time to let them grow!!!!

 

[Frk It]

i like that approach.

Could be good. These 2 defenseman need a ton of work, though. Especially on the physical side.

 

[Frk It]

Hoping for Mete or Sambrook in the 4th.

 

[mindfly]

Gah... Allard, Green, Day.. all gone... should have had a 3rd round pick

 

[Frk It]

Not sure how Allard and Green lasted that long. Think at least one of the two becomes a really nice player.

 

[XO]

Tim Wahlgren would be a decent pick but Detroit never draft players out of my Swedish team

 

[gretskidoo]

Moverare would be a good pick at 107.

 

[ChadS]

Håkan pick: Alfons Malmström from Swedish SuperElit.

Haven't seen him play...

Red Line Reports on #RedWings pick D Alfons Malmstrom: "Good size and mobility, and some passing skills."

 

[gretskidoo]

Of course the Kings take Moverare shortly after.

 

[HisNoodliness]

Doesn't appear to be any information on him. Looks like another Hakan pick.

 

[Ingvar]

Okay, I understand it's 4th round but I don't like his numbers at all. I guess we'll wait and see.

 

[Syckle78]

My wish for today is either package out two seconds with a roster forward for Fowler or use every pick for the rest of the draft on a high upside project defenseman that can skate and just completely roll the dice.

Pretty much going the direction I wanted. Only way we're going to end up with an elite defenseman is tossing the dice and crossing our fingers.
