GDT: 2011 Draft Day Thread

[Snoil11]

No surprise there for #1.

 

[Skobel24]

Landeskog next. Then Huberdeau, Larsson, Couturier, Strome.

 

[Janks]

Wow, Landeskog going 2. I would have thought Larsson would go.

 

[1989]

Well there goes my dream of drafting Landeskog. GOSH DARN.

 

[Snoil11]

If Larsson falls to New Jersey, the restriction on slots a team can move up in the lottery would have been virtually moot.

 

[Skobel24]

Wow, Landeskog going 2. I would have thought Larsson would go.

Larsson is going to the Devils.

 

[Snoil11]

Larsson is going to the Devils.

Scary, scary thought...Devils would be an instant winner of the draft.

 

[DouglasQuaid]

Nuge to the Oil... I really didn't want to have to cheer against him.

 

[Skobel24]

Scary, scary thought...Devils would be an instant winner of the draft.

Yup. Then Couturier to the Islanders, Strome to Ottawa, Hamilton to Winnipeg.

 

[1989]

No reason that Florida won't pick Huberdeau, so logically New Jersey gets to sit pat and take exactly who they wanted/needed.

However, I would have thought that for Edmonton it wasn't between Landeskog and Nugent-Hopkins, but Nugent-Hopkins and Larsson... but Nugent-Hopkins won out by a good bit between the two.

 

[Backlund]

Nuge to the Oil... I really didn't want to have to cheer against him.

Same, the Oilers draft a lot of players I like. Eberle, Hall and now Nugent-Hopkins.

 

[Skobel24]

Devils win the draft.

 

[Snoil11]

Yeah! No Strome for Winnipeg!

 

[1989]

I'm scratching my head, but it's still a good pick for Strome at 5.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

True, Larsson is a steal for the Devils. Comparable skill set to Doughty and Jonhson on the Avs.

Wow, Couturier has fallen to 7th!!

Feaster step up and make a move and grab this guy!!!

 

[tmurfin]

I'd love to get couturier.. But no way he slides that far.. Plzzz trade up

 

[superhakan]

Im pretty happy about Zibanejad going to the sens.

 

[tmurfin]

Im pretty happy about Zibanejad going to the sens.

I'd be happier if he was a Flame

 

[Skobel24]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I wanted Schiefele...

Trade up and get Couturier.

 

[tmurfin]

Wow!. Off the board.. Couturier still sliding

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Dammit!! Scheifele got picked!! I think McNeill will end up a Flame now. Or we can trade up and grab Courturier!! Come on Feaster.

 

[Janks]

Wow!. Off the board.. Couturier still sliding

Trade with Philly perhaps? I'd LOVE to get Sean Couturier.

 

[Skobel24]

Trade with Philly perhaps? I'd LOVE to get Sean Couturier.

Hell, I'd be fine with someone like Regehr going to get that pick. Ive wanted Couturier since day 1.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

I really wanted Scheifele! Even hearing him talk I want him even more now. This kids work eithic is outstanding, I think he needs some work but I think he will end up being a special player.

 

[Backlund]

Damn Winnipeg
