GDT: 2017 NHL Entry Draft - "Mo Money, Mo Problems"

[Starry Knight]

There's a very good chance neither Kostin nor Tolvanen play significant time in the NHL. Both are serious question marks.

Some info on Robertson...

Had him as the 8th best OHL'er available.

Also he was 6th on my final media/scout poll.

I had Liam Hawel as the 42nd OHL'er available.

Dylan Ferguson was a beast when Connor Ingram left to play for Canada at the WJC. He kind of came out of nowhere as up to that point he struggled early on his career.

Finished with a 16-10-2 record a 2.74 GAA 0.922 sv pct

Good size at 6'1 190 lbs.

He has a lot of potential.

Not too big of a downgrade considering most of those picks were players he did not expect to be drafted.

(Kostin/Tolvanen + Ferguson) >>> (Oettinger + Ferguson) - (Kostin/Tolvanen playing for division rivals).

Maybe, but you didn't know Ferguson would be there. You knew you wanted Oettinger, so you get him. Then in the seventh round, when you see Ferguson, you take him because he's the best player.

You guys killed it with the Robertson pick.

30-30 upside, and I think he's the best goal scorer in the draft. His strength on the puck, his vision and his release are all excellent. If he improves his acceleration, watch out.

I consider him to be a better prospect than Owen Tippett and Michael Rasmussen. Had him ranked 18th -- congratulations.
