[BUCKLE UP]

This dude is huge

 

[DJB]

Not a Sens draft without wasting a high pick on an overager.

 

[Appleyard]

Have watched a decent amount of him.

If he can improve his skating he is going to be a serious player.

 

[edguy]

I like this pick. He can play! Will play for Belleville this year and it wouldn't surprise me if he played games for OTT this year. He's older, more mature physically.
(All assuming there is a belleville to play in this year)

 

[Eye of Ra]

Not a Sens draft without wasting a high pick on an overager who will bust

you can see into the future, thats pretty cool

 

[operasen]

Good pick. Edge and skill. That’s what we need.

 

[RAFI BOMB]

 

[2CHAINZ]

Don't put it off, draft Sokolov.

 

[Taluss]

Goal scorer yeah? We need that.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

First Russian selected since 2005

Also wasn’t very surprising since he’s an O/A, Ottawa doesn’t want a bunch of players coming off ELC’s at the same time

 

[RAFI BOMB]

 

[JaredCowen4Norris]

I love this pick. Someone posted a video recently of him talking about how much Batherson helped him when he was in Cape Breton. Idk if it will work but at this point I'm 100% behind drafting all the friends.

 

[senators101]

Mr Sockooo

 

[MrInvidious]

Not a Sens draft without wasting a high pick on an overager.

It never ceases to amaze me seeing the same people every single year shitting on a prospect they know nothing about just to have egg on their face down the road.

Every. Single. Year.

 

[Bileur]

I’m excited for this pick. Higher than I was hoping but guys like this tend to go earlier than expected so good to snatch him now. I love seeing a GM identify his target and do what he has to do to get his man.

Bonus that Sokolov can step in to Belleville and replace some graduating players.

 

[JungleBeat]

Drake seems like a good dude

 

[IlTerrifico]

Powerplay slot of Tkachuk and Sokolov pounding away while Stutzle flies around cashing in screen shots.

 

[thinkwild]

I wanted this guy although wasnt expecting him this early. Really intriguing prospect. Size looks to be making a return.

 

[Matsens15]

Nice! Really like this pick!!!

 

[HoweHullOrr]

Think they were talking this guy up on NHL network. Think they said he was a riser.

 

[tstracuzza]

Good pick, happy about this one. This guy will be a solid grinder style player at the worst!

 

[Masked]

Drake seems like a good dude

Also picked as an overager.

 

[IranCondraAffair]

Can someone please list ANY of these overage draftees that have panned out for the Sens since Alfie?

 

[slamigo]

Smart pick. I approve.
