2016 Draft Thread IV

[Hiesenberg]

Those players were either at the end of their careers, or Mark Recchi (so ~6 more years). But that was a solid team with no elite talent. Lindros was elite for most of his career, but he didn't finish as an elite player. Those players had moved out of the elite range.

They had 3 players score more than 70 pts. And 3 30+ goal scorers and 6 20+ goal scorers.

They were good

This is getting masturbatory now. I'm not saying they weren't good. I'm saying there wasn't an elite player on that squad except a young Eric Staal (who upon further review, did crack the 100 pt mark in his 3rd pro-year, 2nd NHL year due to lock-out).

And that's in response to me misstating something earlier.

But in the grand scheme of things, it's possible for a team to win without elite talent, exhibit A- the Hurricanes.

Woodlief is solid. Tufte as the 10th best forward is interesting.

 

[BillDineen]

Wade Allison sounds interesting. He would be a solid in the 2nd.

Was rewatching some Kieffer Bellows highlights.


Not good.

Have become fan to a point where I will be super dissapointed if he was chosen before we picked Luckily though, Rubstov, Kunin are (hopefully) going to be around there so I would be OK with them also.

No Keller is definitely interesting.

I'm warming to Tufte, mostly because they've earned some trust in their scouting department lately. If they love him, I can talk myself into it. I sure haven't seen enough Minnesota high school games to make a call either way.

Still want Jost, but I've accepted it's not happening.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Didn't even realize Keller was left off.

Hit the limit. Move along.
