Post-Game Talk: 2019 NHL Draft, Day Two

[biturbo19]

Brackett knows something

Yeah. I'd take a total lack of US players as saying something about Brackett's estimation of this class in and of itself. And i think he's earned quite a bit of trust in that region. The silence speaks volumes sort of thing.

Plasek seems like Jasek 2.0

It is kinda strange. Positional drafting is pretty pointless, especially outside the 1st round. It's not like you can count on getting anything for your NHL club out of these picks to begin with...much less start getting choosy about which position they play. But you do want to get some more irons in the fire at least, at a position of organizational weakness - and a position that's notorious difficult to trade for.

Kinda have to figure the D they liked with "upside" have just all been scooped up at a bit of a premium. Which seems reasonable i suppose. There were quite a few going earlier in this later round murky mess.

Maybe. Either way, I think it was you who said maybe the Canucks just don't like this draft in general. Between no D-men and no American (college/USHL) pick, it's indeed strange, and not looking like a typical "Canucks draft.

 

[Hansen]

Karel Plasek. Overage. I actually didn't mind him last season as a 7th round flyer.

just how overage ?!

Yep, exactly what I was getting at in my last post just now.

LOL, I believe that's his father.

 

[clunk]

just how overage ?!

 

[Melvin]

Oh, I forgot about the token twig pick.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Nashville took a freaking timeout in the 6th round? Wtf

I think it was actually Feebs that suggested that, but i agreed. That appears to be the sentiment, with the way they've just sorta divested into a collection of random late round darts to throw - quantity over quality style.

 

[Hodgy]

Guaranteed commercial when the Canucks pick.

 

[Melvin]

Now we just need our token fridge pick and we are all set.

 

[Red]

The f*** is Nashville doing?

 

[PG Canuck]

This is stupid

 

[Red]

I feel like Nashville ran out of players and had to pull up some draft lists real quick.

 

[thefeebster]

The **** is Nashville doing?

Looked a heated debate with a fist pump from one person at their table .

Jack Malone for Canucks

Feels like a lot of teams are probably really scraping the bottom of their lists...or more likely, just throwing picks to various regional scouts at this point.

 

[PG Canuck]

There’s a US pick

 

[Bitz and Bites]

The **** is Nashville doing?

maybe all the players on their list are gone and they're scouring HF for ideas

 

[Josepho]

Malone is good value here.

 

[Knight53]

Brackett pick

 

[Hodgy]

Pretty good stats for Malone in the USHL, has good size. Committed to Cornell.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Malone is fine. Good USHL numbers and going to Cornell. Still not 1 d-man picked. They must not like this year's crop.

 

[Melvin]

Finally, a US player. This will be their best pick.

 

[Red]

Going to Cornell next season.
