GDT: 2018 NHL Entry Draft

[DucksFanDFW]

And there's a goalie

 

[Exit Dose]

Dostal I like.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Wasn't really expecting a goalie here, but sounds like we got a darn good prospect.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Really interesting pick by Winnipeg grabbing Nathan Smith. '98 born out of Florida HS hockey, made Cedar Rapids (USHL) out of camp as an undrafted free agent and went on to lead them in scoring.

Do these guys on NHL network seriously think LA have any chance of Tavares. Do they plan on spending 30m on 3 players huh?

Detroit picks Ryan O'Reilly 2.0, yes a player named Ryan O'Reilly. Thats going to be confusing if he makes it to the NHL, especially if Detroit acquires the other Ryan O'Reilly, their play by play guy will feel like he got trolled lol.

 

[mightyquack]

Curtis Douglas came in at the combine at 6'8.5 and 247 pounds? f***ing hell

Maybe he can switch it to O'Ryan Reilly to avoid confusion.

In signing his entry level deal he changes his name to Reilly O'Ryan lol.

Kings go with Dudas, I'm not loving that their draft class is loaded with offensive potential.

 

[Opak]

Jack Perbix to Anaheim at 116. Welcome!

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Jack Perbix to Anaheim at 116. Welcome!

I believe he was one of the more heavily recruited Minnesota HS talents and shows scoring upside.

 

[Opak]

I believe he was one of the more heavily recruited Minnesota HS talents and shows scoring upside.

His stat sheet is certainly interesting -- barely draft eligible (born Sept. 13th 2000), already 6'1'' 176 lbs, right shot RW, 19 goals and 61 points in 25 high school games.

How on earth did Cole Fonstad drop to 128?

 

[WhatTheDuck]

How on earth did Cole Fonstad drop to 128?

Wow I hadn't realized he was still available, that's a head scratcher for me. Seems pretty darn slick and skilled.

 

[Anaheim4ever]

Can we just run a line of

Maxime Comtois - Antione Morand - Beniot-Olivier Groulx

Montreal is probably jealous lol.

Roman Durny

 

[mightyquack]

Hanifan and Lindholm to Calgary for Hamilton, Ferland and Fox

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Seems a bit out of left field, but Gurny performed well at the WJC and as a '98 born, perhaps they are thinking he may be pro ready now.

 

[Exit Dose]

God, I can't remember a day two where the boards were running like this.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Have we employed a southpaw goalie since Hiller?

 

[Ducks DVM]

Yeah, the threads are all unlocked, it’s taking between 5 and 10 attempts to edit them. Sorry about that.

As I get repeated 520 errors trying to post this. Debating on changing my name to 520 DVM.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Calgary close to acquiring Hanifin and Lindholm from Carolina?

God, I can't remember a day two where the boards were running like this.

Ugh it's so annoying.

Have we employed a southpaw goalie since Hiller?

What was Fasth?

 

[WhatTheDuck]

What was Fasth?

He caught left. I'm pretty sure Hiller was our last opposite goalie unless I'm forgetting someone.
