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

[Alerion]

I just wish the draft board was ALWAYS on the side of the screen while they're talking.

 

[Stand Witness]

Good old NHL network saying a big trade happened when it didn't

 

[Alerion]

Did the NHL Network just troll us all?

I really like the Durzi pick, I'm just bitter that we didn't sign him for free after he attended our rookie camp last year. I'm also bitter that he's a '98 because he's not eligible for the WJC's which is one of my favourite times of the year, especially when we have a player on Team Canada. At least we'll be well represented by Sweden. I do acknowledge this is a very selfish reason for wanting certain people picked..

Zavgorodniy, Kotkov, Muranov, Kvasnica, Burzan and Wouters are the top guys I have remaining. First two I ranked in the 2nd round. Last 4 in the 3rd round. The rest of the guys remaining are 4th round grades or lower for me: Hrabik, Topping, Everett, Samuelsson, Florchuk, Callahan, Bitsadze, Zamula and Steeves. This is where I had Durzi and Kral ranked on my board. I had Hollowell going undrafted.

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

And he's going to Arizona.

First Australia with Walker and now Britain with Kirk. Always great to see players come from non-traditional countries.

We couldn't sign him, you can't sign someone until they no longer have draft eligibility I thought. This is why so many overages go every year.

Nyman and Dunkley still on the board. Unreal.

Also wouldn't mind taking a Flyer on Turkulainen in the 7th...

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

How does Sportsnet not have their own feed for this. You would think a Canadian teams focused feed would get a lot of viewers.

 

[AppsSyl]

I want them to take Nando Eggenberger.

 

[Leaf Lander]

when u pick all small players in the first 3 rnds thats who your drafting and if you pick big guys late like middleton gues who your really not drafting

Umm, what?

 

[horner]

Billy Moskal with our last pick

 

[Raymondo316]

I was really hoping we would take a flyer on Liam Kirk

 

[AppsSyl]

Eggenberger and Marcus Westfalt please.

 

[AppsSyl]

There goes Westfalt.

 

[sxvnert]

Make your damn picks Panthers!

 

[deletethis]

I thought he was no longer draft eligible though

He signed with the Leafs as a 18 year old in the summer of 2014.

 

[Mikeyg]

bergman special right here boys c'mon

 

[sxvnert]

Finally a goalie.

 

[sxvnert]

Semyon Kizimov

 

[Mikeyg]

kizimov

 

[Stand Witness]

Throwaway pick with the last one there, when we could have had mid-round talents like Nyman or Dunkley. Really makes no sense to me

If they make it through the last few picks (I think they already did) then they can be invited to the Leafs camp.

Full recap:

1(29) Rasmus Sandin, D
2(52) Sean Durzi, D
3(76) Semyon Der-Arguchintsev, C
3(83) Riley Stotts, C
4(118) Mac Hollowell, D
5(149) Filip Kral, D
6(156) Pontus Holmberg, RW
7(209) Zach Bouthillier, G
7(211) Semyon Kizimov, RW

 

[SeaOfBlue]

What a terrible 2nd day... Bouthillier has a major uphill battle to get a contract, which makes it a terrible pick considering the other guys out there.

Kizimov I'll trust, but there was probably better.
