[The Great Weal]

Top available players?

Berggren, Hallander, Thomas and Ylonen for me. Got a chance to get one of these guys and I'm pumped.

 

[G0bias]

Still stings but sort of at peace with missing on O'Brien, dude went so early we were never close. Onto the 2nd.

Berggren
Ylonen
Hallander
Morozov (got him higher with all these Cs leaving the board like hot cakes)
Fonstad
Tychonick

 

[Riggins]

McCagg listed Marchenko, Noel, Berggren, McLeod, McIsaac, Addison and Wilde as options for 35 and 38.

Seems like we all want Berggren.

 

[TheBuriedHab]

Berggren and Wilde for me please

 

[The Great Weal]

Glad Berggren is there

 

[MrNasty]

Noel, McIsaac, maybe Wilde, McBain, Eriksson

 

[DavePeak]

I really feel like these new draftees look younger and younger every year... it's tough to get older lol... (I was born two months after Sid the Kid and Price the Nice...)

 

[Nedved]

McCagg listed Marchenko, Noel, Berggren, McLeod, McIsaac, Addison and Wilde as options for 35 and 38.

Seems like we all want Berggren.

There's so much candy in the shop. I hope we go boom or bust, and don't draft DLR type guys, and go for thomas.

 

[Fazkovsky]

I have a feeling Thomas is gonna be special

 

[yoteshot]

Berggren, Thomas, Noel, Wilde and Hallander are who I'm gunning for with the 2 early picks. Then hopefully, McLaughlin, Hilis, Wise, maybe Tychonick? That would be amazing.

Two of Thomas, Noel and Berggren and I'm doing carthweels!

 

[Adam Michaels]

I remember this moment. It was right before LA's pick. I thought he's on the phone to deal Max to LA for the 20th. His reaction when he hung up was funny.

 

[donghabs98]

Berggren
Hallander
Thomas

Top available bad picks
Groulx
M Samuelsson
Ginning
McLeod.

I wouldn't mind taking Groulx if it was with a lower pick like a 3rd or high 4th. While I like him as a player during his Q draft year, he hasn't taken the next step since then and I just don't see a high ceiling for him. In a dream situation he ends up being a 2nd line center but if he makes it to the NHL I see him more as a 3rd line guy.

 

[WeThreeKings]

McCagg listed Marchenko, Noel, Berggren, McLeod, McIsaac, Addison and Wilde as options for 35 and 38.

Seems like we all want Berggren.

Out of that.. Berggren and Addison is best. Wilde is so much like beaulieu. McLeod is a bust. Marchenko has such heavy feet but is talented. Noel needs a toolbox.

 

[pezcore]

Am I missing something, do not have Berggren for the our two top 2nd rounder

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Funny thing, the dmen went out almost in the same order as my list if you count dmen only, I had;

Dahlin
Boqvist
Hughes
Bouchard
Dobson

 

[Playmaker09]

With 5 picks in the next 35 give me four Ds. Three and I'm happy, if there's a couple of potentially dynamic wingers they like.

We have enough competition at center in our bottom 6. Danault and De La Rose, with Poehling, Evans, Ikonen pushing for spots in the coming years. Any C pick is pretty much a waste at this point in the draft.

But seriously. Don't get cute. Just play the odds, grab a bunch of D, and hope 2 pan out.

 

[G0bias]

Was caught off guard by the Johansson pick. Not a bad player by any means but how much upside are you getting there? With AlexAlex, Johansson, JBD gone, dmen crop in the 2nd suddenly doesn't look as good. Plenty of good forwards though.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Thomas, Berggren, Wise, Woo for our four 2nd round picks

 

[CoopersFalls]

Wait; where are all the people who said Tkachuk wouldn’t go top 5?

 

[SpeedyPotato]

Wait; where are all the people who said Tkachuk wouldn’t go top 5?

Most people here said they wouldn't take him top 5, not that he wouldn't go as early. I think pretty much everybody acknowledged he would go around 5.

 

[Runner77]

I remember this moment. It was right before LA's pick. I thought he's on the phone to deal Max to LA for the 20th. His reaction when he hung up was funny.

I remember that too. Good catch.
