[ChicagoBlues]

Great! Another Russian we have to worry about.

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

In Bill we trust

Oh contraire my friend, this is a German we are talking about here.

 

[ChicagoBlues]

Oh. A Russian immigrant. Like Jaskin

 

[brokeu91]

Welcome to the Blues!!!

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

Oh. A Russian immigrant. Like Jaskin

His dad played in Germany, so more like Steen

 

[Falco Lombardi]

Great! Another Russian we have to worry about.

Nah he's German. We're safe!

 

[SwivelSchwartz]

Draft one more German for the Nein Line
Bokk - Alexandrov -

 

[Novacain]

Pronman likes him, and he had a very solid year in the Q and seems like he can be a solid bottom 6 center. At pick 62, I approve

 

[Alklha]

As I said in the draft thread, I'm always apprehensive about prospects from the Q in the later rounds. Trust our scouts though.

Looks to be a pretty safe pick; higher chance of making the NHL than someone like Dorofeev, but a lower upside. A good third liner from this spot would be a good result.

With only one pick in the first 92 picks, the Blues probably felt the pressure to go as safe as possible.

Didn’t want a repeat of the 2013 draft.

 

[izzy]

cool

wish we took beaucage though

 

[CaliforniaBlues310]

We needed a center to add to our prospect pool, so I don’t mind this. Hopefully he can be our 3/4C after Bozak’s deal is done in a couple years.


Bokk-Alexandrov-Kostin future 3rd line.

Sunny objects to that.

Draft one more German for the Nein Line
Bokk - Alexandrov -

If they end up as our third line we can call them the Third Reich.

Man that’s bad karma

 

[CaliforniaBlues310]

Sunny objects to that.

I’d have him with Barbashev and Toropchenko as our “fourth” line in that scenario.

TBA/Schenn-O’Reilly-Kyrou
Schwartz-Thomas-Tarasenko
Bokk-Alexandrov-Kostin
Barbashev-Sundqvist-Toropchenko

What about Perron?

 

[LetsGoBooze]

Sounds currently like a Barbashev-lite, but with room for growth.

 

[ChicagoBlues]

If they end up as our third line we can call them the Third Reich.

Dislike

 

[Bluesfan54]

If they end up as our third line we can call them the Third Reich.

And they will play for the Blues for 1,000 years!

Seattle bound

Seattle bound

Don’t tell @LetsGoBooze that
