Dumb

 

[kingsboy11]

are you ****ing kidding me

 

[SettlementRichie10]

Oh for f***s sake Blake

 

[deaderhead28]

Blake is a idiot.

 

[ru4reals]

WHAT THE F.......!!!! So Thomas Hickey at 22!!! Blakes gotta go!!!

 

[Telos]

Would have preferred Tomasino, but LA can't help themselves Either way, we got Turcotte!

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

There's the hickey pick.

 

[deaderhead28]

are you ****ing kidding me

Tried to tell you.

 

[Malice430]

So we have the Captain of the USA and Swedish JR team on D

 

[dman3474]

Great another Forbort

my first thought too

 

[kings11]

If he turns into McD, then it’s a really good pick... but Kaliyev was right there

 

[LAKings88]

Ba dump dump.

 

[ru4reals]

Tarasenko ALLL F....in over again. Eff off Blake.

 

[DryIslandBartender]

SMH, pass on a Kaliyev for a project d man like Forbort.

 

[kilowatt]

So... Foote at 33? Pelletier?

 

[Mats26]

best D left

 

[Sol]

Blake needs to be stomped

 

[Oof]

I would've rathered Kaliyev or Tomasino or Brink but I guess I'm not too mad at this

 

[LAKings88]

We need goals, take a defensive dman.

 

[Steve Zissou]

Our problem has always been scoring, would have nice to add a scorer in 1st round.

Bummer, man.

 

[SaltyElkHunter]

Blake just struck out looking

 

[kovacro]

Super safe pick, no dynamic element that stands out. Captain of U18 and Hlinka team. Could be 2-5 dman. Responsible defenseman. - Sam Cosentino.

Solid defender, compete level off the charts, wants to be a factor. - DeBrusk

Bottom pair guy, but will and leadership skills will compel him to be better, safe pick. They passed up on lots of skill guys here. - Burke

 

[Peter James Bond II]

Björnfot is a very capable two-way defenseman with few weaknesses in his game. A strong skater who reads the game well and contributes both offensively and defensively. Also a good leader and he competes hard on every shift. Can be used on the powerplay, but stands out more in his own end with this solid play. (EP 2019)
Björnfot is in superb physical shape and he is both strong and got good conditioning, Hockeyprospect.com 2019
He has a strong and hard first pass to start the transition game and he also has the ability to transport the puck zone-to-zone himself, Future Considerations 2019
He is a solid stickhandler and good passer, as likely to make the simple, safe play as he is to attempt something more challenging, McKeen's Hockey 2019
Complete defender.. competent in all situations.. nice lateral mobility with the puck allows him to find space to make plays under pressure, Draftin Europe 2018

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Is someone gonna tell me we couldn't get something comparable at 33

 

[ibleedkings]

Bullshit Blake

 

[BigKing]

Takes position over BPA.
