GDT: 2018 NHL Entry Draft Day 2 - Begins 11AM EST

Buried on a deep team with an extra bone in his foot, finally exploded in the U18 playing with Dahlin.

So he has hidden mutant powers? Dubas really is awesome

Underrated behaviour by Leafs' management at this draft: not wasting their time drafting BCHL/AJHL/USHL/US High School players who they never seem to have a handle on. I much rather see them rolling the dice on CHL draft picks.

 

[Zybalto]

I don't even think they've discussed pick let alone the trade. Correct that, the last 3 Leafs' picks.

Its not like a huge bulk of their audience is from the GTA and would be interested in that news.

Hear that sound?

Its the sound of hundreds of thousands of clicking over to TSN to watch soccer instead because the NHL network has blown their draft coverage again. What the hell is wrong with them. Cant Sportsnet put pressure on them? Id go talk to Gerry personally if I was there.

 

[Stand Witness]

Lavoie thinks the Canadiens are about to announce a trade.

Agreed. CHL and Bergman all the way.

About time.

I wouldn't trust our USHL/USHS/NCAA scouts too much either looking back at their track record.

08 is the last time those leagues produced anything of value: Jimmy Hayes

 

[Morgs]

Two more picks.

Gimme Nyman + Dunkley.

 

[TMLeafs17]

Would’ve liked Jake Wise in the 2nd, but Durzi doesn’t seem like a bad choice

It’s too bad Thomas went one pick before us.

Dubas/Shanahan's next project: steal some of Pittsburgh's US amateur scouting.

 

[htpwn]

As of now, Amir Miftakhov -- the #3 ranked European goalie by NHL Central Scouting -- is still available.

I wouldn't mind taking him with one of the 7ths.

 

[AppsSyl]

I really like the Kral pick.

Surprised we haven't taken a goalie yet. They should keep up with a minimum one per year.

 

[htpwn]

British prospect Liam Kirk is also an interesting name still on the board.

 

[Smif]

I don't even know where we are, is it over!? We're talking about chicken wings??

 

[Stand Witness]

Damn patches to the sharks?

 

[sxvnert]

Patches to SJ - multiple sources according to nhl network.

 

[francis246]

Other than the Kral pick and maybe the rasmus sandin pick, not loving our draft at all. We passed on Calen Addison too for an overager...

Follow online trackers because these idiots dont even announce picks until they stop yapping about nonsense:

I would personally prefer that NHL Network put together a 30-60 second video on every player to within reason and just bullet them off one after the other for several hours so every pick gets coverage.

This pointless talk dribble is crap.
But then Sportsnet's hockey coverage overall is crap too.
So I'm grateful we at least got the TSN talent on NBC for round 1.
The draft coverage is poor overall but *shrug* It's still one of my favorite days of the year.

 

[sxvnert]

Round #7 about to start. Two Bergy specials incoming!

Overager means nothing when you look at what you would expect from a player in the D+1.

You can't tell me that if we had picked someone at 52 and they had the results he had in his D+1 year that we wouldn't be pumped about their development.

I think that little Russian kid, SDA, is a hell of an interesting pick. Met the cut-off for the draft by only hours too.
