I can't wait to see if any team including us goes off-board based on what the rumors are.

Wright, Slaf, Cooley and Nemec are supposed to go top-4 in one order or the other.

Cutter Gauthier Welcome to Seattle....

Cutter Gauthier Welcome to Seattle....

Some people have projected Coyotes or Kraken going off-board and picking him.

Well, our head scout is Robert Kron, a Czechian former NHL player.

So Jiricek would make sense, but he also scouted Nemec a lot.

Yeah I forgot which one he was closely linked to thanks for the clarification People are thinking NJ is taking him at 2 so we will see

 

[The Marquis]

Alright, about damn time.

 

[AarG]

here we go!!

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Oh shit. Slaf goes 1OA.

 

[Sad People]

Wow

 

[RainyCityHockey]

Oh shit. Slaf goes 1OA.

Holy crap.

Trade with Devils?

 

[The Marquis]

Crazy. Everything changes now.

 

[AarG]

THAT'S BIG!

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Holy crap.

Trade with Devils?

Would make sense but I don't think Devils are looking for picks. I think they are more interested in cost controlled players ready right now.

Well, they could certainly get one of those defenseman at #4.

True. They were rumored to be very interested in Slaf because big wingers are a need for them and they don't have much interest in smallish C's. They could look to trade back for sure or just grab Nemec/Jiricek at 2 (which makes no sense from a value perspective).

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Looks like the Devils are gonna pick.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Holy shit. They did go Nemec. We can get Wright or Cooley. Holy shit.

 

[RainyCityHockey]

Holy shit. They did go Nemec. We can get Wright or Cooley. Holy shit.

Cooley or Wright are available to us.

 

[J Corso]

Holy crap, Wright or Cooley are ours.

 

[The Marquis]

Wowwwwwwwww!!!!

 

[AarG]

Wow. So Cooley/Wright it (hopefully) is!

Also Slovakians #1 and #2

 

[Soul Rebel]

This is outstanding for us....... WOO HOO!!

Wright or Cooley.
