2014 NHL Entry Draft Part 4
- Thread starter Blind Gardien
- Start date
this is an extremely accurate NHL draft value chart, pretty sure it's the one Kekalainen was referring to in the 2013 draft
the teams that have multiple picks in the 2nd are:
St. Louis - #33 and #52 (these 2 picks come out to 429 pts, almost exact value for our 1st rounder)
Anaheim - #38 and #55
Buffalo - #31, #39 and #49
Nashville - #42 and #46
San Jose - #51 and #53
Calgary - #34 and #54
New York Islanders - #35 and #57 (our 2nd)
Arizona - #43 and #58

That's interesting, I wonder if GMs use something like that for real...
Damn we need at least a 2nd round pick
Tons of options for RW in this draft (RW is seriously lacking on our team right now)
Personally moving up for Tuch or Goldobin would be amazing but that probably won't happen.
Realistically at our spot
Bleackly C
Ho-Sang C
Vrana RW
Can all play RW.
If not Lemieux would be a great pick up as well.

He will be available around us ... Id be happy with any of HoSang, Kempe, Scherbak, Vrana, Kamenev , sanhiem if we dont move up.
Bleakley, as well.
Scherbak, Kempe, Sanheim, Bleackley would be my favourites.
I have this odd feeling we'll draft Hunter Smith.
Also, can someone tell me what the difference is between Kasperi Kapanen and Artturi Lehkonen ?

Is there any chance Virtanen drops?
Craig Button had him slotted in the 40 range, but some mocks have him within the top 10.

About 35 spots in the draft
. I'm also curious why Lehkonen was a late 2nd and Kapanen is a top 15 pick.
About 35 spots in the draft
Lehko got two concussions in his draft year iirc. Also this year's draft is supposedly weaker than last year's.

That much weaker ? Though, Lehkonen was a projected first rounder, so I guess Kapanen is only ranked 10ish spots higher.
Alexis Vanier - Early 3rd, or late 2nd ?

What are the odds of seeing Lehkonen in N.a this year .. I know he signed with frolunda but anyone think he can surprise us?

I'd have to say I don't see much upside with Bleackley and I'd be very tentative picking Sanheim at #26.
Sanheim could be a very rewarding pick but I think there's a strong chance that this is just a very good season for him - playing in the right situation with the right line mates. From what I've seen (~3 games) his physical attributes are good but not outstanding and his IQ seems to be alright but not dominant. I have a hard time seeing his trajectory continue on what it's been this year. I think he's a BIG risk to take where we are but if he's chosen I'll just accept that Timmins and staff know (just a little) more than I do.

This guy reminds me of toews...he's an excellent skater...sick hands and speed and 2 way player.....he's got character...you can just tell from his interviews that he's very mature...i'd like to move up for him...or trade something for a 1st round pick and get him and ho-sang/bleackley.

In that video Kekalainen mentions that San Jose offered them their #18 (710pts) + #49 (159pts) + #81 (54pts) = 923 pts for their #13 (910pts) and that the value chart said it was a good deal by a hair. San Jose didn't realize that they didn't have a 3rd tho
.i'll start praying to the hockey gods that we don't
that would be really really terrible

Don't know why, I will surely be wrong, but I'm expecting McCann to fall beyond 20. Never 2nd round.....shouldn't be but after 20. I would think that some scouts are afraid that his ceiling might come earlier than expected.

I think that for Bleackly, it's all about how offensive he'll be in higher leagues. That might be the concern. Could be a heck of a 3rd line centerman.....but if I pick him, it's because I think he's top 6. For Sanheim, I have NO problem picking him for 2 great reasons for me. Improvement and IQ. The kid improved as the year passed by and as the challenges becomes greater. That for me is a total yes in picking a guy.

My bold prediction for this years draft:
Habs trade down for an early and late 2nd rounders and pick DeAngelo and Vanier with those 2 picks.

Brendan Lemieux
Ryan Donato

Joshua Jacobs
Jack Doughtery

I don't know, but I know he had substance abuse already in his life.
Would be nice to magically get a 2nd around 35-40th.
