GDT: 2017 NHL Draft | II

[LickTheEnvelope]

Don't know if he'll fall, but I REALLY like Hoefenmayer at 95 if he's still there.

I like Hoefenmayer or Phillips.

 

[Trelane]

DiPietro isn't "tall", but as per the combine, he actually has more or less the same wingspan as some of the much taller 6'3"+ goaltenders.

Yeah, forgot about wingspan being a thing these days.

Love all the other picks. Pettersson especially.

 

[Canucks LB]

Lots of players at the world juniors this year for the canucks

 

[Love]

I have a feeling the WJC will be very exciting as a Canucks fan in the next couple years after these picks.

 

[Zombotron]

This name owns.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Pettersson should be on the top line for Sweden.

DiPietro might be Canada's goalie.

 

[Love]

What's of players at the world juniors this year for the canucks

Lol same wavelength my friend

 

[Jack Burton]

Ahhhh fluff! Entwistle is gone stupid goalie pick...we should have taken this kid.

 

[iFan]

Hoefenmayer Would be great

 

[thefeebster]

I feel as if a dark cloud (maybe Weisbrod) has been lifted from our draft table. I feel befuddled with this good draft so far.

 

[Zombotron]

I thought we were getting Entwistle.

Mentioned in the other thread yesterday that when a scouting regime is on the way out, the team always drafts very "chalky" with few reaches. No regional scouts pushing their specific player. Fans love these drafts because of the perceived value. Seems to be holding true so far.

Solid draft. I'd have liked Hague over Lind but not by much.

 

[y2kcanucks]

Must love the Kings draft.

Absolutely. Until their last pick which is a goalie I wouldn't have taken there. Would have gone with Lukkonen or (most likely) Eriksson-Ek.

 

[Jack Burton]

Hoefenmayer Would be great

Yes!

Delorme was his own respective miasma of negative drafting energy too

 

[biturbo19]

This name owns.

Pretty sure they just made that name up.

 

[y2kcanucks]

This name owns.

They're just doing that because their play by play guy said something bad about them, so this is his punishment.

This is true.

 

[LeftCoast]

I'm fairly pleased. I like Elias Pettersson, it would have been better if they had been able to trade down to take him at 6 or 7, but that requires a team wanting to trade up, so ...

I was hoping for Connor Timmons at #33, but very happy with Kole Lind. Then Gadjovich and DiPietro at 55 and 64 was beautiful.

Bennings 1st round picks have been contentious, but he's killed the 2nd and later rounds.

 

[Zombotron]

Nate Schnarr? That sounds like a Tim and Eric character

 

[Hansen]

There goes Lipanov to TBL

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Lipanov to Tampa. Lightning taking all them Russians

Give us the goods. You're there right now aren't you? You made these picks didn't you?? Where is your alibi damn it!!!

I haven't been this pleased about something Canuck related in a long long time. For once I'm getting endorphins from something Canuck related, instead of high blood pressure.

Yeah, because guys like Wiesbrod have to try and prove how much smarter they are than everyone else and draft away from the rankings.
