GDT: 2017 NHL Draft Day 2: Starts at 10am EST, Will be on NHL Network

[Natey]

Seen Tyszka a couple of times. Really like the package. Good pick this late.

 

[Mr Fox]

Do you guys think Matt Bradley is going to be drafted in the 6th or 7th ?

 

[WeThreeKings]

Colorado ripping it up

Smirnov picked

 

[le_sean]

Imagine the team still had Sergachev, the board would explode with these picks.

I'm okay with it, but I feel they passed on talented centres.

 

[TT1]

Post your list so we can see whether or not we're better than our scouting staff at their job . I have 2 lists, 1 is BPA (realistic picks based on my ranking) and the other is my best case scenario picks (picks based on where prospects where available).

[vokiel]

so 2x Centers, 2x LHD and 2x RHD.

Well...whatever. Just seems ridiculous to pick so many defencemen what we have not many prospects who can put the puck in the net.

That's what you expose yourself to, if you blindly go BPA according to subjective opinions. If it were a science I would have no problem with, but it isn't by a long shot.

 

[Whitesnake]

I'm obviously very sour that we took ONE offensive prospect this draft. My comments on the defenseman picks may reflect that.

I totally understand what you mean. But the d-men picks were VERY GOOD picks. BUt we should have mixed it up a little more.

 

[Draft]

Meanwhile Pittsburgh takes a swedish offensive C

Good thing our system is stacked with those and we are set at the NHL level

At least the picks used on centres brought us back solid players with NHL upside. Two very different players, but both are high quality picks. I'd have been a lot more choked if the team waited until later to try and find a center.

 

[Habsfan18]

So we're done, unless we add another pick somehow.

Next year. Possibly 1st and 3 2nds.

 

[Mr Fox]

Per Grant McCagg we picked up a 7th round pick.

 

[Treb]

 

[Toene]

Minulin still undrafted?

 

[vokiel]

So we're done, unless we add another pick somehow.

Why bother? Get that pick for next year, if you do get picks.

 

[vokiel]

MOAR! Defense men!

 

[Krnage]

finally.... bergevin working on phone actually work

 

[Riggins]

Had to pick up a 7th for the token Q pick.

 

[jfm133]

Sergachev has been traded for Drouin, so defense can become offense. I don't care about the position. The important thing is to pick players that will make it. If we end up like Anaheim or Minnesota in a few years with too many good D, we will be able to trade for forwards.

 

[HabsRenegade]

Plekanec for ARI 7th

 

[NotProkofievian]

My bad. Sorry team.

Lol. To be perfectly fair, the picks that I selected in the other thread are hardly balanced. Very offence heavy. Wasn't scouting dmen this year really.

or lose them at the expantion draft

Maybe a camp invite and an AHL deal for 2018-2019.

 

[jfm133]

One thing is sure, the WHL scout has a huge influence on Timmins. Hope they won't all be Dietz.

 

[TT1]

Pick Carson or Minulin.. but we picked too many dmen already so pick Carson.

 

[MrNasty]

trade with Philly
