GDT: NHL Entry Draft 2016

[Tecumseh]

Cliff Pu is still on the board... do you think he could slip down to us? Jones teammate.

Gone now. To Buffalo at 69

 

[Markus078]

I don't want a smorgasbord of 2nds and 3rds. We have other players that we could give up for those kinds of picks.

Nah, not just for picks. A cost controlled forward we are looking for and some picks.

 

[Opak]

Will Bitten gone @ 70. What's left?

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Bitten at #70 wow, thought he was a borderline first - big fan.

 

[Arthuros]

Gone now. To Buffalo at 69

The worst kind of 69 - the ones with Pu.

 

[Markus078]

Please let Bitten fall to us! Ahh too late

 

[mytduxfan*]

Probably drafting a GT with the 3rd, no?

[WhatTheDuck]

G - Colton Point
D - Jacob Moverare, Marcus Niemelainen, Jacob Cederholm, Cole Candella
F - Jesper Bratt, Jack Kopacka,

Who though? Pretty much all of the top guys -- Hart, Parsons, Gustafsson, Fitzpatrick, Woll -- are already gone. Vehviläinen?

 

[Opak]

Closing in on 85!

 

[Markus078]

I have no idea now but let's face it. Josh Manson was a low pick, Matt Beleskey as well.

Sure... it's just a crapshoot anyway.

 

[ShadowDuck]

Idk anyone left. Time to shine Madden.

 

[Tecumseh]

Another goalie off the board with Wouter Peeters

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Hawks pick is the first I've never heard of, Wouter Peeters?

 

[Opak]

D-man Josh Mahura @ 85

Seems like a complete lottery ticket to me

 

[WhatTheDuck]

A lot of folks saw Mahura as a potential steal. Another mobile defenseman, typical Ducks pick.

 

[Tecumseh]

Hawks pick is the first I've never heard of, Wouter Peeters?

From Belarus they said. Never heard of him either.

Edit: It was Belgium, not Belarus. Set to play for Jokerit next year, he's 6'5" 205 lbs

 

[Arthuros]

I feel like that name was made up by a person who had no firm grasp of English, but knew the general syllables that usually compose one and just mashed them together.

Was his season injury-ridden... he only played 2 games.

 

[Opak]

Belgium. He's apparently committed to the KHL club Jokerit, maybe he has some potential? Seems to be a big kid at least...

 

[pesko]

Apparently he missed about 90% of last season which lowered his stocks, but had a good postseason. Lot of skill and potential but high risk.

Yeah he had a knee injury early in the year and only got back in time for playoffs. Had a great rookie year and seemed to pick up where he left off when he returned in the post season. Not a bad gamble at all.

 

[Opak]

Round 3 done! Picks 93 and 115 coming up for the Ducks.
