Aleksi Malinen, a d-man.

LHD, sorry PW.

Aleksi Malinen, a d-man.

McKenzie had him at #65 and he's one of the youngest players available in the draft. Seems like a great value pick this late.

 

[Taswell]

Like the Malenin pick. Kids got wheels but was stuck on the worst team in his league

 

[IslesNorway]

Sounds like a very good pick

Nice value pick. Decent size and a good skater.

I am liking our draft. I love that we haven't drafted any smurfs.

All your Fins are belong to us!! This kid was ranked way higher than he was picked.

I like this draft too compared to last years. Which means last years will probably be great and this years will suck lol

 

[SI90]

Wait, Peter Reynolds still not picked?

 

[Chardo]

Looks like Lou used all that cap space to buy a vowel.

[SI90]

Sounds like Malinen doesn’t bring too much offense but the kid can skate and understands defense. I’ll take it.

 

[Chapin Landvogt]

Looks like the scouting staff only took one scouting trip this past winter...

Nope. Unless I am missing something.

 

[IslesRock4]

Wish we had taken Duke but otherwise I love this draft.

 

[IslesNorway]

Russians galore in the final round

 

[Thrasymachus]

gotta say I am digging this draft overall

sounds like we got a few nice value picks

I think we’re just so used to a few off the board picks, that doing a draft by BPA is refreshing.

2 goals in the first period. He’s in Plymouth right now. I believe it’s for the Finish team.

 

[The Wahligator]

I’m glad we’re finally drafting a lot from Europe again

Yep, Finland vs Sweden. Raty, Liukas, Rajaniemi, Ljungkrantz all in this game.
