But wait! There's more!

Old news

Good Pull. That’s it?

 

[Cush]

a little odd to make the trade this far out from the pick

 

[Hivemind]

Hey, it's a 1-for-1 trade instead of a package deal this time. Full support

 

[Marshall]

Dammit, I had just breathed a sigh of relief after turning this...interminable...draft off.

 

[Hivemind]

Some impressive size and good athleticism displayed in those clips. A little concerned that he lost track of the puck in both of the first two highlights though.

[Holtbyisms]

Trading for the pick this far out makes me think it's some oddball unheard-of goalie they know will still be there lol

 

[Ridley Simon]

It’s someone they feel they need. So let’s see what happens

 

[Random schmoe]

I like how Phoenix seems to have taken a guy the NHL has never heard of. As best I can tell, every other player taken in the draft has all those details filled out.

(Edit: They corrected/updated it.)

 

[Cush]

If it was Alexander Pashin, he's gone

Back to back goalies is a very mahoney way to finish the draft lol...plus all we had before the last pick was mitchell gibson in the system. Caps like to have 2-3 goalies going at once usually it seems.

Eugh to Carolina too

 

[Langway]

Bjorklund was Central Scouting's top WHL goaltender.

Rashevsky plz.

 

[Cush]

Nashville takes "Gunnarwolfe Fontaine", what a name

First draft in how long where they didn't draft a defenseman?

Too bad we were missing the 2 and 3, could have been a rock solid draft otherwise.

 

[RandyHolt]

What time does round 2 start.

Oops. I didn't know it was Saturday.

That thought came to mind, but I think because the Caps prospects for forwards have dried up considerably, explains all the forwards they picked this time. Next draft they will have to look for some RD because a lot of their D prospects are LD.
