2017 NHL Draft | 4:00 PM | United Center | NBCSN

[hi]

Awesome 1st draft for Vegas so far

 

[Anarchy Joe]

Brannstrom seems interesting 5-9 Defencemen with a huge shot

 

[HanSolo]

Uh who?

 

[Vegas Mac]

Wondering if Kostin's shoulder injury was more of a concern for teams than they let on.

Real surprised by their pick of Brannstrom there. But gonna get behind it and hope this kid develops well.

 

[HanSolo]

So Sami Vatanen 2.0 then? All right. Good draft I'd say. Really happy they went with Glass and pleased with the Suzuki pick.

I was thinking Torey Krug type player with what they were saying Krug is a fave of mine cause he went to Michigan State

 

[CupInSIX]

Wow Suzuki. Swinging for the fences with him and Brannstrom

Yeah not going to complain. Not much size outside of Glass, who was a great pick, but Suzuki can score and there has to be something that drove McPhee to take a 5'9" defenseman that high.

Gonna go back and look for Brannstrom footage. Either way exciting stuff and we have what, 3 picks in round 2?

Here's hoping we get our Goalie of the future there... Luuuuuuukonen!

 

[HanSolo]

Glass seems to be the safe pick while the other two have higher boom bust potential.

Vegas has done a great job with the franchise so far

 

[Anarchy Joe]

We still need to get some RHD we got a ton of lefties still

 

[Vegas Mac]

Hope Boston takes Kostin. Prefer he doesn't end up in San Jose meh.

I doubt SJ would take him tbqh

 

[Anarchy Joe]

Hopefully we flip Methot to Stars tonight for 29 + something

 

[HanSolo]

Hopefully we flip Methot to Stars tonight for 29 + something

I wouldn't mind.

Murray and Bergevin keep talking so I'm hoping something happens there too.

Didn't realize they had pick 29. Yeah that would be nice, and take whoever slid that they like or one of the goalies poised to go in round 2.

Got your wish

I know he's a goalie but Oettinger would be a good shout at 29. I think he'll be gone before 34.

 

[Anarchy Joe]

I kinda want Kailer Yamamoto just cause short players who are electric goal scorers are fun to watch

 

[HanSolo]

Apparently Vegas was gonna move up to 5 but McPhee decided their guy would probably be there at 6.

Don't know if that was already posted.

 

[Anarchy Joe]

Have there been any trades during the draft? I know the ones before the draft but isn't there usually a couple trades during the draft?

 

[BattleBorn]

no trades yet.

 

[Vegas Mac]

Got your wish

Gonna start hoping soon here that we have a shot at him later. Teams taking guys now who aren't in his class, has to be injury related so who knows maybe he'll slide to round 2.

 

[CupInSIX]

step right up and get your defenseman here. Defenseman!

we got LDs we got RDs we got all kinds of Ds
stay at home D offensive D
come get your D only cost you a 1st
2 for one special today only

 

[Anarchy Joe]

Damned Oilers, I think this guy is gonna be great and next to McDavid in a couple years is gonna be scary
