At this point aren't all the picks pretty obscure?
His stat line looks good, I like we aren't drafting Ruperts with these picks.

Considering we've done fairly well with the CHL recently, and there's no decernable reason to avoid it, I'm willing to assume this is just a coincidence so far in terms of where guys are on their list.
They're not going to change their fourth pick because their third was of a certain nationality.

This draft is pretty obscure as a whole. I like a couple of our picks but some are pretty obscure!
No way of knowing until they fully pan out. Could become something!

LOL. Like you or anyone else can possibly know if some 158th overall pick will pan out or not.

I'd rather not waste time on no pedigree American kids.
They're under the radar for a reason and the odds are stacked against them, because many of them still have to move on and prove themselves in the NCAA, then the ECHL and then the AHL and then the NHL...
Cameranesi, Toninato, Robertson, Everson, Ryan, Knodel, Pateryn, Hayes, Berry, Ruegsegger, Rau, Earl. There's very little pro upside in this group in a decade of drafting these kinds of players.
Give me more Connor Brown and Andreas Johnson type picks.
I'm just happy that we seem to be using our picks on players that can pan out to be top 6 forwards and top 4 d-men. I'm sick and tired of going after the high character third line scrubs year after year.
And Don Cherry is gonna be irate. A Swede, a Russian, and 3 Americans.

Agreed, we should pick equally irrelevant Canadian kids. Armchair GM's out in force for the later rounds.

Hard to get mad in the later rounds, basically;
Pumped about Nylander,
Didn't know much about Rinat, but seems good.
Dakota Joshua seems good from what I read.
Guys like Vesey etc though I just have no clue on and i'll leave it, but you can see it's not just "Let's draft a good fighter who can check a bit"
These later rounds, you hope it happens, only thing I can say is I hope we hit Europe for our last pick, just feel like there is better chances of a gem out there in the later rounds.
