Not a fan of this pick. Oh well good luck kid.

 

[MessierII]

Overaged sniping Czech who plays in the USHL. Veird.

 

[Jumptheshark]

Going to university. Off radar for 2 to 4

[Louis Cypher]

Matej Blumel, a prospect for the 2018 NHL Entry Draft, scored four goals in the Czech Republic's 6-2 win over Team USA in the Five Nations Under-18 tournament at Plymouth, Mich., on Feb. 14, 2018. He had an even-strength goal, a power-play goal, a shorthanded goal, and an empty-netter.

 

[Supermassive]

How?

 

[ChaoticOrange]

I don’t dislike this pick. Blumel can fly and had 30 goals. Probably a second liner at best, but I think he’s a decently safe bet to be a third liner.

Could be worse, Columbus only has two picks and used one of them on a kid I have legitimately never heard of. Not ranked on any list I’ve seen.

 

[Soli]

I like that he can skate and that he plays his off-wing.

 

[Jumptheshark]

So far I am underwhelmed

 

[yukoner88]

looks like he had a good season in the USHL, 60points in 58 games

So a comparable is Mario .

Maybe that’s a good thing. They’re not swinging at immediate help for once in the past 20 years.

 

[bertty]

Yeah but we draft overagers that are further from NHL than normal prospects.
Konovalov 2y in KHL
Blumel 4y NCAA

 

[CycloneSweep]

Never a fan of overagers but oh well.
This is probably our worse draft in the last 4 years. Can't win them all though

Can't remember the last time our fans were so dissapointed after a draft...

The Yak and Pulju drafts on another hand were complete joy...

 

[48g90a138pts]

I don't mind this pick. He's a sniper so possible cheap finisher for McDavid. The Pens have been cycling guys on and off Crosby's line for years to stay under the cap. Kind of what we're going to need to do in the future.

We have two prospects that were touted as top 20 picks.

So you actually know how these payers are going to develop and which ones will succeed?

You can judge a draft based on the day based off consensus. And then later when you find things out

No

No you actually cant. Predictability has always been an issue outside of the top 10.

No

I mean, people do all the time. So does the media. That is how it is.
