GDT: 2015 NHL Entry Draft Round 2 to Round 7 discussion

[Fonzieleaf]

Pilon not being picked yet is scary. What else is a little scary? All of our draft selections except for Nielsen so far have been under 6 feet.

 

[Highlander23]

is pilon not going to get drafted at all, i swear he was supposed to be a late 2nd to mid 4th pick

with that name and playing D, not many GMs are going to risk their jobs on a pick

LMAO - people are acting like we have to dress every one of these picks in 3 years as our team!

The Leafs are doing what Tampa did - find an area that teams are leaving exposed, and use it to gain valuable assets. Teams didn't want Russians - Tampa took them, and now their stacked.

Teams don't want small players - but in a year where Tyler and Johnny G tore it up, the Leafs are recognizing there IS a place for these kids in the future of the game.

The Leafs are adding ASSETS. We've managed to grab a half-dozen kids in late rounds with potential FIRST ROUND TALENT. When some of the 'old school' teams start realizing that these kids can play, and when other teams start looking for their own Johnny G's - we will have a VALUABLE stockpile to work with!

 

[RyanOhReally]

Pilon goes

 

[Bullseye]

Isles grabbed him

 

[kihei]

We're the new Tampa Bay Lightning, and I'm okay with that.

Exactly the direction that I wanted to go in, so I am ecstatic with that.

 

[Bloomberg]

Isls are picking up on all those players who are fallen from they consenus rankings

Where is our 6'6 hedman? and 6'6 Bishop?

 

[Vexed]

Where is our 6'6 hedman? and 6'6 Bishop?

Oh I'm sorry is there no more drafts in this rebuild or do you just think everyone we just drafted will eventually be on the roster?

 

[Kamiccolo]

Where is our 6'6 hedman? and 6'6 Bishop?

So you expect a #1 D, #1 C top end elite talent and size in 1 draft?

Bolts have been building for a long time.

 

[Bullseye]

Where is our 6'6 hedman? and 6'6 Bishop?

we have Puzzles the Goat - relax

 

[RyanOhReally]

Come on Korostelev....

 

[PJJ]

Where is our 6'6 hedman? and 6'6 Bishop?

what great examples you could only come up with one skater so you had to add a goalie

 

[Glenn Isildur Healy]

IF these guys don't pan out in 3 years, Shanaban management will be running for their lives outta here.

You probably prefer Brian Burke. Making big splash after big splash just for entertainment sake and turning this team into a treadmill

 

[hamzarocks]

lets get pilon

I expect a #1D or #1C from this draft since we tanked like nobodys business with Commander Horachek

 

[Paradoc]

Where is our 6'6 hedman? and 6'6 Bishop?

Rielly or Chychrun, hopefully. And we already have a Bishop. His name is Bernier.

everyone thinks this is the only draft in existence.

 

[Highlander23]

lets get pilon

picked by the isles

 

[Woodman19]

Where is our 6'6 hedman? and 6'6 Bishop?

We will trade for them with our plethora of 5'10" Tyler Johnsons

 

[Cor]

Damn, so close to falling to us.

Wonder who we take here.

 

[Daisy Jane]

Rielly or Chychrun, hopefully. And we already have a Bishop. His name is Bernier.

he's not 6'6 though. helloooooooo.

 

[mikebel111*]
