Buffalo wins

 

[Frank Drebin]

Ask me in 9 years

 

[Elias Pettersson]

Islanders, Detroit. Winners
Ottawa. Losers

 

[Canucks LB]

Detroit and the islanders are clear winners
The canucks got incredibly lucky with Hughes
Arizona seem like the losers by "value" purposes.

 

[sasha barkov]

Isles and Detroit are definant winners

 

[SR]

Detroit clear winner to me after adding Zadina and Velano

Arizona the clear loser no doubt about it.

At this point, I'd say that Detroit and Islanders should be the winners. Especially Islanders because I think they got the very two picks after which the level significantly falls off.

As for the losers - Senators, Wild, Yotes.

 

[Echo Roku]

Feels like Veleno is overrated by this board after he dropped so much.

 

[OUTHOUSE]

I look forward to this thread every year.

 

[LamorielloAndSon]

Isles and wings

Veleno is gonna be really good

 

[Dijock94]

Islanders win

Rangers lose

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Winners: Buffalo and Carolina.
Losers: Everyone who overreacts to their team not drafting the consensus top guy with their pick.

 

[The Ugly Truth]

Winners: Detroit, Islanders, Buffalo.

Losers: Montreal, Arizona (what the hell StatBoy?). And I think the other StatBoy (Du(m)bas(s)) was trying to get to clever as well passing on Bokk.

Islanders win

Rangers lose

I am not sure the Rangers lost, that's not saying I would score them an A

They probably should have went with Dobson, I actually like their later picks

 

[CycloneSweep]

Edmonton fans.

Oilers didn't reach

 

[Gargyn]

Isles are the big winners. Followed by Detroit and Buffalo. Arizona with a horrible pick. SAN Jose too risky for that early a pick. Could have got him later.

 

[snipes]

Edmonton fans.

Oilers didn't reach

Very happy with Bouchard, massive right shot and good on the PP.

McDavid will love those elite stretch passes.

 

[DFAC]

Edmonton fans.

Oilers didn't reach

Huh?

Bouchard is a great pick at #10. I wouldve picked Dobson but I can understand picking EB since he’s more NHL ready

 

[CycloneSweep]

Huh?

Bouchard is a great pick at #10

I know. Originally it was rumored Smith was the target at 10.

They picked Bouchard, it was perfect

[HollaHaula]

There's only one real loser here: The Wild

Picked a player that would have been available in the 3rd round...

 

[boredmale]

Huh?

Bouchard is a great pick at #10. I wouldve picked Dobson but I can understand picking EB since he’s more NHL ready

Story before the draft is if the top 10 went the way people expected and Boqvist was left at 10, Oilers would draft Ty Smith

 

[The Ugly Truth]

Lamoriello with the Midas touch again. Unreal past 3 weeks for the Islsnders after a decade of hell in Snow.

And even Holland couldn't screw up those picks by Detroit. Timing is everything™. How lucky can a team be to have Zadina *and* Veleno fall into their lap in the same damned round?

 

[Balthazar]

Winners: Islanders, Detroit, Buffalo, Carolina

Losers: Arizona, Minny, Rangers
