2015 NHL Draft Thread III (6/26-7PM, 6/27-10AM)

[CBJWerenski8]

We still have, like.. 7 more picks in this draft

We'll take some forwards, I'm sure. Maybe Jansen Harkins? Jenner 2.0

I know, was just making note of it. I don't think going 2012 NYI is the best for our team.

 

[Nanabijou]

Well, it's pretty likely that the Jackets thought highly of Hanifin, as he had to have been their target for moving up. I wasn't sure if they would pick Werenski over Rantanen, but we have our answer there.

We'll probably never know whether they had Provorov ahead of Werenski. I know Porty tweeted that, and all we'll hear is that they preferred ZW and got their man, but I'm curious what the official separation between the two looked like.

 

[KeithBWhittington]

Man in the grand scheme it doesn't mean much, but I'm a bit crushed they couldn't get Roslovic

IDK, I don't think they were trying to trade up ahead of Philly for Werenski. I could be wrong, but I don't think I am.

Hanifin...Arizona was asking for too much, it seems. If they wanted a massive haul, they had to look elsewhere.

I know, was just making note of it. I don't think going 2012 NYI is the best for our team.

Well as we saw tonight, NYI turned their 2012 picks into something special. Reinhart, Pokka, T.J. Brennan, Anders Nilsson, and a 2015 3rd was turned into Nick Leddy + Matthew Barzal + Anthony Beauvillier.

I agree though. I'd like to see a forward at 38. Chlapik, Harkins, Bracco, Bittner, Novak.. lots of good choices.

 

[Jackets16]

Interesting to hear why Kylington dropped so far. OTOH, I don't think you can ever have enough strong stay a home defensemen in the system. Especially since I think Heatherington will "graduate" soon.

Teams are always looking for solid defensemen. They are great chips in trades.

I wonder how many teams have 3 D prospects as big as we do. Not that it matters, but it is nice having some big defensemen in the system.

 

[eljefe72]

New shoulder patches?

It appears so, unless it's something special for the draft.

 

[KeithBWhittington]

Interesting to see Griffin Reinhart moved already. Wasn't he drafted two spots after Ryan Murray in 12? Makes me wonder what realistic offers Murray could get.

Very, very good offers.

None of which I'd be inclined to take, mind you. But very good.

I'm more curious as to how Reinhart is almost as valuable as Dougie Hamilton...but, Bruins.

Hagg, Sanheim, Morin in Philly?

 

[CBJSlash]

If I'm a Bruins fan, it's not today that's so awful. It's now knowing that Neely and Sweeney are idiots and you'll have them for at least 2-3 years.

 

[Jackets16]

Hagg, Sanheim, Morin in Philly?

Morin - yes. The other 2 - no, unless they have grown.

 

[CBJx614]

I am one happy, yet sad camper today! Happy we got 2 VERY solid defenseman (who by the time are ready to play in the NHL wont be our weakspot) yet sad we couldn't get Roslovic. However I still think we should take Pilon or Carlo tomorrow if at all possible. And almost overnight our D pool becomes just as deep as our offensive prospect pool.

Werenski
Carlsson
Carlo/Pilon

 

[CBJWerenski8]

 

[WannabeFinn]

Morin - yes. The other 2 - no, unless they have grown.

Morin - 6'7"
Hagg - 6'2"
Sanheim - 6'3"

Heatherington - 6'3"?
Collins - 6'5"
Carlsson - 6'4"

not a huge difference I think

 

[LetsGOJackets!!]

I agree with this..

Kylington or Carlo seem to be very good picks at 38

I gotta admit that I am floored we didn't make the trade for Hamilton - I'm sure our offer would have been much better... suck it Boston

 

[CBJx614]

Future at F (potentially)

Milano - Johansen - Bjork
Rychel - Wennberg - Dano
Karlsson - Jenner - Zaar
??? - Chaput - Anderson

And future on D (potentially)

Murray - Werenski
Carlsson - Heatherington
Carlo - Collins

Not too shaby. Gotta keep building up the forwards though, can't just ignore them.

That D has SCARY potential. . .

 

[WannabeFinn]

That D has SCARY potential. . .

not to mention Savard who is still only 24

 

[CBJx614]

Also is anyone else excited for Reimer trying to keep Carlsson and Karlsson from getting mixed up?!

 

[Jackets16]

Morin - 6'7"
Hagg - 6'2"
Sanheim - 6'3"

Heatherington - 6'3"?
Collins - 6'5"
Carlsson - 6'4"

not a huge difference I think

Heatherington seems taller. Also, it just isn't height, but size. Not sure how "big" the PHI guys are.

The Maple Leafs have something very significant brewing. Talks have been hearing up all day.

 

[WannabeFinn]

Appears as though we were trying to trade with NJD to draft Werenski at 6th, not Provorov. Also, we apparently had Carlsson "in the teens" on the CBJ draft board.

David Pagnotta ‏@TheFourthPeriod 3s4 seconds ago

From multiple sources, TOR & LA engaged in a very large trade discussion... More to come

 

[CBJWerenski8]

David Pagnotta ‏@TheFourthPeriod 40s41 seconds ago

Phaneuf involved in Leafs/Kings discussions. Richards may be part of it going back. If so, Leafs expected to buy him out.

Nice to hear that he as some connections with players on the roster.

I'm really looking forward to tomorrow I think we will see some kind of movement with the roster itself. Hopefully the 38, Rychel and a roster forward can land us a major roster upgrade.
