GDT: 2017 NHL Draft - With The 2nd Overall Pick, The Philadelphia Flyers Select... (Pt. 1)

[Rebels57]

Brannstrom > Foote

Hell of a draft for Vegas

 

[Ghosts Beer]

Fantastic pick by Vegas. Fantastic. I love Brannstrom.

 

[The Madrigal]

This draft is absolutely flying by.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

McPhee absolutely killed this. Where was this guy for the expansion draft?

"Brannstrom = Timmonen"

-anonymous scout

 

[Jtown]

Brannstrom looks really interesting. GMGM knows his swedes

 

[Magua]

I'm not as high on Suzuki as some, but he's still good, and they didn't reach. But Glass at 6 and Brannstrom at 15 is awesome, and both really the perfect combo of BPA and fit. I really really love those two for a rebuilding team. Good job Vegas making those picks count.

 

[Embiid]

Vegas definitely building through the draft.....

haaaaaaaaaa... says who?

 

[The Madrigal]

Bob McKenzie saying Brannstrom was a reach.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Just had to take Brannstrom at 15 eh?

 

[Curufinwe]

McPhee absolutely killed this. Where was this guy for the expansion draft?

He was the guy who got the two extra first rounders. Plus Tuch and Theodore who are recent first rounders.

 

[The Madrigal]

I'm a little surprised Liljegren is still there.

"How much does skill factor in to your decision"


"Well not much at all, really. As an expansion team we want the kids who really suck at hockey."


What kind of question is that???

 

[Curufinwe]

McPhee said there were talks about moving up to 5 but they figured out they didn't need to.

What about all the other garbage?

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Thank God someone got Myrtetus to chime in. I was worried he was asking the wrong people.

In the Black Book, they said multiple teams were talking about Brannstrom in the mid 1st and that he could go higher than consensus. I get that Bob's list had him lower, but it's not hard to see another team taking him between 16-20 that is high on him.

I immediately chuckle whenever Brian Burke comes on tv with that hair.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Does Burke ever lose his tie?

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

****, Bob. You stupid *******.

Getting nice pieces doesn't mean he maximized his leverage. Agree to disagree.
