Speculation: 2019 NHL Entry Draft Thread

[ijuka]

I am not super high on Nikkanen, though I know some who are. He had some major injury issues this season, probably the reason he fell so far. Struggled majorly in Liiga as well. However, the reality is that he's a big center and that he can skate. Even if I'm not so high on him, good pick at this point.

Jets on the clock..... And SN goes to commercial......... Those fools are a pure clown show

Well to be fair, they are taking from an American feed so they don't pick the commercial breaks.

Thanks as always for the opinion on all these Finns, stick around for the two we take in the 5th round

They should have something worked out when a Canadian team picks. Pure garbage. Going to cut the grass. Should have done it an hour ago rather than wait to watch commercials at the Jets pick

That one guy on this board who thinks that so many Finns will be the end of this team is probably super depressed today.

 

[WPGChief]

Can't complain about a faller due to injuries but was productive nonetheless.

I think I've figured out our draft strategy - each year we send out scouts to a specific country. last year USA, this year Finland.

 

[SM]

Was hoping for Spiridonov based on the C research I had done leading up to the draft, but the skill set sounds promising on Nikkanen.

 

[DRW204]

we scout the US or US born players quite extensively. don' t have much invested in the Q

Are we gonna miss #134 on a f***ing commerical again?!

 

[SM]

Lmao another commercial

 

[Afterburner]

Bunch of jerks.

 

[mondo3]

A Canadian C ! Harrison Blaisdell

 

[blues10]

So Sportsnet misses this pick too. What a joke. Why am I not cutting my grass already!

 

[MardyBum]

Seemed to be highly ranked.

 

[DRW204]

wasn't able to catch the entire 1st last night, but just saw the VGK selection video.... they couldn't have seated Krebs closer to the podium? lol

 

[Afterburner]

Another Chevy steal?

[MardyBum]

Listening to 1290, apparently has one of the best releases in the draft.

Also going to UND.

 

[KingBogo]

I guess they ran out of Finns they liked, but another faller. But Blaisdell seems like a nice pick here.

 

[Rheged]

Blaisdell is fine for that spot.. Gotta think the next is the goalie.

 

[Guardian17]

 

[Jetsfan79]

looks like we wont get commercialed this time

 

[MardyBum]

Maybe go for a goalie?

 

[Afterburner]

Come on Jets!
