[GermanSpitfire]

Who are some guys that went undrafted this year that you’re shocked didn’t get selected?

I’ll Start...

Ruben Rafkin, Charlie DesRochers, Jacob Dion and Josh Lawrence... shocked none of these guys were selected.

[McDoused]

Shocked James Hardie and Ethan Cardwell went undrafted.

 

[APVJ]

I've heard that Rafkin is a pretentious and smug. Maybe that's the reason.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Shocked James Hardie and Ethan Cardwell went undrafted.

Literally exactly who I was going to post.

Hardie was over a point per game. Cardwell's totals weren't quite as good, but he's very young.

 

[Kevin Musto]

I really like Christoffer Sedoff as a stay at home shutdown defender. He's a project, but his work ethic is really good. Thought someone would give him a chance.

 

[DoingItCoolKiwi]

Ah yes, didn't know this was a tradition. Ruben Rafkin is my pick for this

 

[Elvs]

Marko Stacha.

A better 2002 born defenseman out of Slovakia than Knazko, who was selected in the 3rd round.

 

[LeafChief]

Pavel Gogolev?

 

[DropTheGloves]

Rashevsky and Gogolev for me. Also thought a team with not much in the pipeline goal-wise might try for Max Paddock.

 

[kabidjan18]

Senna Peeters. I'm actually pretty sad about that right now.

 

[RememberTheName]

I had Rashevsky as an early second rounder, he was no doubt my biggest one.

EDIT: Can't believe Stacha didn't get a look from anyone either

 

[OHLTG]

I've heard that Rafkin is a pretentious and smug. Maybe that's the reason.

Having known him and his family for much of the season, he's a good character kid. I'm shocked he wasn't chosen.

 

[Dread Clawz]

I don't understand the nhl contempt for Dion. Yeah he's small, but come on he led Q defenseman in points. Not even. A 7th?

 

[montreal]

Did Oliver Suni get picked?

 

[DaveG]

Gut, figured someone would take a shot at him from the 4th round on especially with how his season has started.

 

[wej20]

What are the rules about signing undrafted prospects out of the CHL this year?

 

[m0pe]

All my top undrafted guys have already been said.

I think Parker Ford should have gone at some point

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Did Oliver Suni get picked?

Nope

 

[FrankGallagher]

Sedoff and Ryker Evans the two I would have considered draftable out of the WHL that didn't go, more surprised Sedoff didn't. Also thought someone would have taken Owen Pederson, even though I wouldn't have.

 

[Tube Skates]

Senna Peeters. I'm actually pretty sad about that right now.

This

 

[Eye of Ra]

Jesper Myrenberg
Carl Jakobsson
William von Barnekow
Alexander Lundman
Gustav Eurenius
Hampus Karlsson
Oskar Kvist

 

[TheWhiskeyThief]

Kubicek only in the context of Bauer getting taken.

 

[jvr32]

Ruben Rafkin, Simon Kubicek, Jacob Dion, Hugo Styf, Oliver Suni, Christoffer Sedoff, Michal Gut, Simon Knak, Theo Rochette, Reid Valade, Vsevolod Skotnikov

 

[theslatcher]

Måns Forsfjäll I feel should've gotten a late round ticket.

 

[emptyNedder]

Maybe not surprised about any one, but surprised that none of the second-tier Swedish D-men went: Ramberg, Nordlund, Kumlin, Forsfjäll, Mancini (American playing in Sweden).
