2nd round steals

[Debrincat93]

Hagg IMHO will become the next Brodin in his rookie year. Ill say it first.

 

[Gohabsgo67]

Potentiel 2nd round steals for now are:

Erne
Fucale
Zykov
Bowey
Carrier

 

[bullslugg]

#49, Boudreau, very under the radar pick. Very typical San Jose move. Saying that I really like the potential here.

 

[BillDineen]

Zykov so glad he fell

You must be a CSKA Moscow fan

 

[The Winter Soldier]

2011 draft will yield some good players that will have teams second guessing why they passed on them in the 1st rd.

Ty Rattie is a guy that can score. Might be the steal of the draft.

Rocco Grimaldi is a guy that I had in the first rd that dropped due to his size. Think he is going to surprise some people.

Ryan Sproul, Xavier Ouellet. Detroit got a pair of very good D prospects.

Gibson, future #1 G

Jenner, solid #3C on a good team

 

[JureEe]

Zykov.

This is exactly why I have tempered my excitement for Robert Hagg. I'm thrilled that he fell to the Flyers, but I'm also terrified because he fell to the Flyers.


How many examples are there of name players who fell on draft day but developed into successful picks?

Anze Kopitar, Cam Fowler, maybe Seth Jones!

I really like Hagg too. I see him as a guy that has a really good chance of being a NHL player to some extent + potential to be real damn good.

Nice pick by Philly.

 

[Haatley]

Actually, we needed one pretty badly to have depth behind Price. We literally had no one before this season.

Lucky for us, the best goalie in the draft fell into our laps at #36. Thanks Calgary.

Calgary has more than enough quality goaltending prospects.

I'll say. There are people in the Flames organization who believe Jon Gillies is the best prospect the Flames have. Better than Baertschi or Monahan. Add to that the two European pros they signed this year and I doubt they are hurting in the goaltender prospect department.

 

[untouchable21]

Petan, Hagg, and Bailey.

 

[The Sweetness]

People considering Erne a steal need to consider that Roy, his coach from the minors and a guy with a heavy influence on the draft decided to pass on him at #32. I'd hesitate to call him a steal for that reason alone. Maybe a decent value pick, but a steal? Too early for that.

That's a good point. Forgot Roy passed on Erne.

 

[Czech Trio]

You cannot determine a "steal" at this time and anyways this was such a deep draft 1st round material extended into the 2nd round. So I wouldn't mark it as a "steal" unless there was a considerable amount of questionable players picked that aren't 1st round material before the said "steal". I mean you can draft a really good, promising prospect in the 2nd round in this kind of draft and it isn't considered a steal. Every GM and scouting team have different opinions, one guy may be #25 on team A but number #40 on team B. I would kind of consider Shinkaruk a steal because he was projected to go top 10, top 15 by alot of scouts but he dropped to the 20's.

 

[hockeydude1]

Rocco Grimaldi will be a huge steal for the Panthers. He was suppose to go early 20s and went 31st overall.

And Fucale for Montreal is gonna be their #1 in a few years.

 

[FlyerFire]

Hagg IMHO will become the next Brodin in his rookie year. Ill say it first.

However Brodin was drafted 10th overall if I remember right

 

[Bolt32]

Nikita Kucherov. Was scouting him on youtube before the draft. Found out when we picked him in the second, I may have done a few fist pumps and screamed **** yeah a couple of times. Lmao

 

[Wingsfan2965*]

Tyler Bertuzzi.......

 

[Walkingthroughforest]

Calgary panic'd at making the smart move, because they didn't account for anyone to fall that much so they stuck with plan A

Calgary didn't have a second round pick, genius. He's talking about how Montreal owned our second from the Cammalleri trade.

 

[Thundermare]

Potentiel 2nd round steals for now are:

Erne
Fucale
Zykov
Bowey
Carrier

Pretty much my list too

I was stunned that they did pass Fucale twice?... And ecstatic to see Mtl get him... They must have wanted Poirier pretty bad... But then... Why not trade down?

 

[DKQ]

That's a good point. Forgot Roy passed on Erne.

The seem pretty high on Bigras and need LHD. It may have been the case where they had Bigras ranked 20th and Erne ranked 21st

 

[Granlund2Pulkkinen*]

A prospect is not a steal until he's contributed to your NHL team.

Bigras could make the Avalanche this season

Rumors of Anahiem and the Canadiens were willing to take Poirier in the first so either the Flames took him at 22 or he would most likely have been gone. With Ortio, Brossoit, Gillies we have a pretty solid goaltending pool and with Berra and Ramo being given a shot either one could become a starter and give us years to find another goalie.

i dont doubt this, but I had never seen an anaheim rumor - care to share?

 

[StringerBell]

Zykov and Bigras
