GDT: 2019 NHL Draft

[Vega]

Can’t lie. I love the idea of having a true hoss power forward on the team. Hopefully he pans out .

 

[Jobeycool]

I think the Pens need to trade Kessel and Letang.....if they cannot trade at least one of them....Same team as last year and I doubt they even squeak into the playoffs...Or at least trade Hornquist.

 

[Peat]

So after a little to mull and read the profiles, I think this one could be okay. Not the guy I wanted, but there's deffo something there. I liked reading (in two different profiles) that he'd be top ten if not for skating. Well, you can coach skating. A bunch of the other stuff you can't.

There goes Tomasino... I'd have loved him but, and here I think is the kicker, there's a bunch of Tomasinos around. There's not a lot of Poulins. People keep saying "I'd love prime Kunitz" but there's not a lot of them around and this kid reads similar. So... if you've got a tie on BPA, why not take the rarest type?

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Again, the caps will draft who the Pens should have taken.

And then trade him to the Preds for a plug?

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

Every time they say Jack Hughes all I can hear is "J'accuse!!"

 

[SherogoesHAM]

They seriously need to stop showing this one prospect that can’t keep his hands off his face. Looks like he constantly eats boogers.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Looking pretty lumbering slow out there. Big but speed ain't his go to move.

 

[Empoleon8771]

I just like pointing out that the last prospect this site REEEE'ed about not taking was Kostin, who's did phenomenal in the AHL with 24 points and being a -28 in 66 games last year.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

28 AT 25, WHAT A REACH, MORONS.

 

[KIRK]

Lou looks barely alive.

He actually died 23 years ago.

Really though how has the “coach skating” gone for Maatta.

You mean the stud the Pens should have drafted?

 

[Andy99]

Honestly, watching some of the highlights, he looks like a guy Malkin could utilize well. Obviously that's a crap shoot, but just speaking of the skill set.

Geno will be in the khl before he plays for us...

 

[KIRK]

Geno will be in the khl before he plays for us...

Or Miami

 

[Jobeycool]

This draft is crap get on with the trade you are not going to do Rutherford

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

Room for improvement "Real High End," what the f*** does that even mean?

 

[FreeBobbyFarnham]

To be fair many wanted Connor Timmins, me included.

 

[TKalltheTime]

Makes Olli look like Grabner hahaha In all seriousness his stride looks a lot like his... BARFFF

 

[SherogoesHAM]

He’ll eat a booger on camera. Just wait.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Or Miami

Stop torturing me.

 

[StaalForOne]

Kaliyev must have some issues to have fallen this far. Especially past teams like Nash and the Isles that typically take those kind of risks to get skills.

Maybe they've learned their lesson?

Also ISS had Poulin ranked 17th

 

[Dangles78]

Just because scouts or the TSN/NBC panel says a prospect needs to work on skating doesn't mean it's ****. C'mon, you REALLY think a prospect at 21 isn't going to have some criticism to his game? Not every single player on the Pens roster is going to have 5* speed; it's just not realistic

 

[Empoleon8771]

To be fair many wanted Connor Timmins, me included.

Didn't Timmins miss all of last year with an injury?

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Looking pretty lumbering slow out there. Big but speed ain't his go to move.

Yikes.

 

[Turin]

He won’t play for the Pens for another 5 years anyway.
