I thought it was time to post "Aww, we should have drafted XXX instead."

I think there's a live internet stream on NBCSports.com, as reported by Chris Ryan

theres a subreddit called NHLStreams, should be easy enough to find if you're desperate enough.

When you wake up and it’s draft day

 

[Billdo]

I'm interested to see if we stick with no 2nd or 3rd. I'd be kind of surprised if we did.

Just completed my mock draft. Had the Devils selecting Farabee with #17. Imo, though, we should trade down to mid 20s (I'd love to get 26+28 from Rags, but that likely won't happen), and snag Berggren/Bokk/Foudy/Wise, and grab a 2nd and take someone like Ginning/Woo/a faller

Enough trading with the Rags.
The first one did not go so well.

I understand that the Grabner trade was not great but there is so little difference in skill level between 15-35 that if we can somehow trade down for 2 first round picks than I think we should absolutely go for it.

Ah yes, well all past trades are indicitave of how future trades go. So I see your logic.

 

[New Jersey Devils]

LOL sure. Yonkers Brewery!

100% failure rate, the math doesnt lie

 

[Emperoreddy]

Bonkers out of no where EK trade to Jersey incoming.

Or we just pick someone st #17

You see, normally if you was to go one on one with another GM, you got a 50/50 chance of winning.

YOU KNOW THEY SAY ALL TEAMS ARE CREATED EQUAL. BUT YOU LOOK AT US AND YOU LOOK AT RANGERS AND YOU CAN SEE THAT STATEMENT IS NOT TRUE! SEE NORMALLY IF YOU GO 1 ON 1 WITH ANOTHER GM YOU GOT A 50/50 CHANCE OF WINNING A TRADE! BUT I, RAY SHERO, AM A GENETIC FREAK AND I'M NOT NORMAL! SO YOU GOT A 25% AT BEST AT BEATING ME! AND THEN YOU ADD THE OILERS TO THE MIX, THE CHANCES OF WINNING DRASTIC GO DOWN! SEE THE 3 WAY AT THE DRAFT YOU GOT A 33 1/3 CHANCE OF WINNING. BUT I, I GOT A 66 2/3 CHANCE OF WINNING CAUSE THE OILERS KNOW THEY CAN'T BEAT ME AND THEY'RE NOT EVEN GONNA TRY! SO RANGERS, YOU TAKE YOUR 33 1/3 CHANCE MINUS MY 25% CHANCE AND YOU GOT 8 1/3 CHANCE OF WINNING AT THE DRAFT. BUT THEN YOU TAKE MY 75% CHANCE OF WINNING IF WE WAS TO GO 1 ON 1 AND THEN ADD 66 2/3 %. I GOT A 141 2/3 CHANCE OF WINNING AT THE DRAFT! RANGERS?? THE NUMBERS DON'T LIE AND THEY SPELL DISASTER FOR YOU IN TEXAS!

(sorry mods dont hurt me)

Woo!

 

[NJDevils17]

I’m actually not really that into the draft this year. Maybe it’s picking further down than usual but I haven’t been overly invested in the process. Will watch tonight but there’s like 10 guys I would be okay with. (i.e trade down)

I don’t know a whole lot about this years prospects so I can’t be too mad about whoever we take.

I guess my pick is Kupari if available if we stay at our spot. Would rather slip back a few spots and snag Sandin.
