2019 draft

[Drugs Delaney]

Typical garbage Panthers can't do anything right.

Draft a good defenseman and call it a day.

Don’t let them troll you.

I really, really, REALLY want Arthur Kaliyev. Dude will score 40+ in NHL every year

 

[FrolikFan67]

sitting in the 14th spot, we'll officially finish somewhere between 11th-14th

I highly doubt that.

I glanced at his stats, how is he ranked so low with those kind of numbers?

I've watched some of his Hamilton games. Kid is truly a beast.

I'd guess size is slightly small, doesn't play defense, and he is a "stateless person."

There could be some prejudice against a Russian born in Brooklyn playing in the O. But I have zero doubt he's going to be at worst the second best winger in this class after Kappo (and yes, Hughes will be a wing in the show).

 

[danktopshelf]

For anyone doubting Kaliyev's game...

 

[danktopshelf]

Although I can't imagine a better possible landing spot for a Brooklyn/Russian/Canadian than South Florida and playing for the Panthers. Will be amazing if we snag Kaliyev.

I just don’t see his game translating that well. I’d really love Soderstrom but I guess I could live with him. Don’t like his skating as well.

Barring any draft lottery shenanigans, looks like we will be picking 13th this year

Hello Panther Fans. Wild fan here. I was looking at some of your prospects recently as well as your current team makeup and it’s pretty obvious to me that you guys have a pretty stacked prospect pool and already have a bunch of 1st line forwards. I was wondering if you guys are open to trading your 1st this year, and if you are, what would the asking price be. I also am wondering about Dennisenko and if he’s expendable with heponiemi and tippet coming up.

Best of luck next year I hope for the best for your organization.

If we trade the first it would be for a capable defender

Brodin?

 

[IceManCat]

Brodin?

I am a huge Brodin fan but I think it depends on who is available for the picking. If there is a guy management really likes then I dont think we would make a trade for Brodin. I was thinking more along the lines of a big fish like Trouba using the first and some prospects to land him.

 

[RainingRats]

Brodin?

Most likely that works for me

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

Brodin?

He can play both sides as well no?

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

Yeah he’s good at both sides, though I would say he’s better on the left side.

Depends on the asking price, and what your willing to part with(considering you kinda all-in with the Q signing, IMO). If your willing to mortgage the future for the immediate present, then NO prospect is off the table, IMO. Current roster players are another story entirely.

Spencer knight goalie? :0

 

[I am not exposed]

Just realised the draft is in Vancouver this year, so I can attend.

Hughes born in Florida.

We just got Quenneville.

The stars are aligned. I'm feeling a draft lottery win!

I feel if we get a top 3 lottery placement, it's just setting us up for the universe to spite us further down the line somehow!

 

[Desert Panther]

Honestly I'm not overly worried about this draft. If we get one of the top 3, great. If not, then I say it's part of the package for a top-4 defensemen (Trouba is at the top of that short list)

Spencer knight goalie? :0

I do like him

Not in the mid teens. Knight will probably go late 1st/early 2nd round

Hopefully tonight is another special moment!
