NHL Entry Draft 2019 Entry Draft Discussion (part 2)

[Cloud]

Mark Kastelic

Every single pick has been an overager or a late birthday. Haven't taken a single 2001-birthday, in the 2001 birth-year draft.

Trying to accelerate the rebuild??

 

[LudwigVonKarlsson]

My goodness apparently the latest kid wasn’t on the lists of 60 different scouting sources lol.

But. He was at the same team ebert was on.

This starting to sound like money to me.

Cheapest team in NHL by far in every category.

Trying to accelerate the rebuild??

This could honestly be it. Needs guys ready to Man the bottom of the lineup quickly. If they make the nhl soon can also use it to sell tickets

 

[Peptic Balcers]

Love it when the Rebuilding Ottawa Senators have 6 draft picks in 7 rounds and do weird shit with them

They obviously asked Ebert to scout. Two for one.

 

[FormentonTheFuture]

I like the size of each pick so far. Not a fan of teams trending smaller

 

[Clayonator]

Mark Kastelic from Calgary Hitmen. Seems a lot like the Zack Smith pick years ago. He’ll step in to play for Belleville this coming season and may see some big league games too.

“This is a very pivotal draft for the rebuild”
- Pierre Dorion, June 2023

 

[chipsens]

Dorion is the Col. Sanders of drafting...apparently he has his own secret recipe (so just ignore all of the consensus ranking by that Bozo BobMc, and go right off the board whenever the mood strikes..).

Mmmmm...that crispy chicken is tasty!

 

[LudwigVonKarlsson]

Gotta love the value in these picks. It feels like most of these players could have been had in the 7th round if drafted at all.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Kastelic 6'4 213 RW scored 47 goals in 66 games... Intriguing pick doubled his goals from a year ago. Team Captain.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Are there any 30 year olds we can draft?

 

[Icelevel]

Another overager. This usually points to poor or lazy scouting no?

Ok ok I’ll do more research and wait and see.

Looks like a bigger Nick foligno. Accurate? No?

 

[LudwigVonKarlsson]

Still waiting for Dorion to make a dumb trade, maybe not today but it is coming!

lol already hapened

 

[Micklebot]

Man o man, with the guys they left on the board they better hope they are right with these picks, because they passed on a lot of talent to take some guys that were not the obvious choice.

I was ok with Thomson because I thought we could snag a guy I really wanted at 19 with 32, then at 32 we take a guy I thought going in we could have gotten at 44, then we trade up from 44 to get a guy I went into the draft thinking we could have in the third, and at that, one in a position where we are currently flooded (not really a problem, goalies take a while to develop and by the time he's looking for a contract things will likely have changed)...

I can't help but be really disappointed. Haven't been this disappointed with out drafting since Muckler was in charge. Hope I am wrong.

 

[LudwigVonKarlsson]

I can see why Dornyk would be one of the ones pushing for a 4 year ELC.

 

[R2010]

Almost seems like we're employing our late-rounds strategy to the entire draft now haha

 

[Ouroboros]

Dorion is on the record as saying that the Sens are moving away from drafting for skill in the mid/later rounds. Apparently they've been 'burned by these types of players in the past'.

Is there anything/anyone in hockey Dorion hasn’t been burned by yet.

Is he really going to sabotage literally the only thing he’s decent at?

To be fair, it does suck when you find late a round gem, can't afford them when its payday, and get bent over when you trade them. Its easier just to throw those picks away

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Lining up that 4th line ... with Paul Kostelic and Lundin .. and we are going to ram it down your throat
I'd have thrown Pinto on there but supposedly forechecking is a weakness. Hell of a nice guy though

 

[Hale The Villain]

Bobby Lowes and the Knights killing the draft this year

Shame we can't retain our best scouts.

 

[Micklebot]

For the record, GMMicklebot's picks assuming he was at podium:

19: Tomasino
32: Kaliyev
37:Lavoie (or if taking Kaliyev at 32 meant Lavoie was gone, Afanasyev)

Also, I wouldn't have traded up, so if I still had 44 and 83

44: Afanasyev
83: Honka


So, in 5 years from now, it will be:

Thomas, Pinto and Mads Sogaard
vs
Tomasino, Kaliyev, Lavoie, Afanasyev, and Honka.

I like my group sooooo much better... Hope I'm wrong. I had the first three guys as toss ups at 19 for me, and Afanasyev as an intriguing guy that I was hoping would still be there at 32.

There are at least a half dozen groups I'd like better

That's because you're drafting hockey players for skill and upside, not character.
