All CHL picks for us

 

[Tecumseh]

Not a single European drafted. When was the last time that happened?

I'll look forward to seeing the interview with Madden

Having a quick look it appears the only ever time this happened in Ducks history was the 2005 draft.

 

[Terry Yake]

did they even draft a defenseman?

 

[Opak]

Pick 211 still not in, hoping that we'll trade our 7th next year and get Stransky now.

EDIT: It was not to be. Oh well...

 

[WhatTheDuck]

did they even draft a defenseman?

Josh Mahura

 

[Opak]

did they even draft a defenseman?

Yeah, Josh Mahura at 85.

 

[George Binks]

Well that was a stinker

Steele needs to be the real deal (so to speak) since there were a ton of really good players taken in the 2nd round. I hope the Ducks saw something that most others didn't.

Well this was the most boring draft in living memory. I'm glad that Fowler is still a Duck, although I fear he's still gone before the start of the season. Pretty decent looking haul for the limited draft picks we had.

 

[Goose of Reason]

Boring draft but happy with our picks

 

[Tecumseh]

At least you tried.

 

[Arthuros]

The most interesting part of this draft was the names of the draftees.

I like this pick more after sleeping over it. Usually smart kids turn out quite good. On the other hand I was surprised that Jones was preferred over Howden. I'm still upset we did not get Mascherin, we could need one pure shooter.

Overall the draft looks solid but once again I will never understand the dynamics of the draft overall. Why was Noel drafted now and that early? Why do we draft a goalie last year who was an overager and far from being a starter but passed on Vehviläinen who was a solid goalie who put up really good numbers in a top league?

Our first round consisted of Maximum Steel.
