[Frk It]

Wow, hell yeah. I like this pick. Who knows where the hell we are going to get defenseman from though....

 

[H3ckt1k]

I am so happy with our draft so far

 

[Ulysses31]

 

[LeProspector]

Holy hell, Islanders and Red Wings made out like bandits in this draft.

 

[DRW204]

Still got 33 and 36

 

[Ulysses31]

After watching video shocked he fell so far

 

[The Geelee]

Good two way playmaking center who had a great second half last season. Zadina and Veleno, Wow!

 

[Martinez]

Great draft so far. He’s so underrated

 

[Tatar Shots]

Have to go BPA. I think the Wings did great today

 

[ChelisChiliBar]

Nice pick here! A playmaker. Let's see some D at #33 and #36. There are still a few good ones out there. Very happy so far with what Kenny and Co are doing.

 

[lilidk]

Holland rocks

 

[Ezekial]

Insane value, kid is gonna be a player and his upside for 30 is out of bounds. So excited for our new top prospects along with Rasmussen and the Ds.

 

[Primetime8]

Absolutely pumped about the 2 picks so far. Drafting BPA is the way to go

 

[zecke26]

Yes, they need D! But i cannot be mad at Holland for picking BPA. It's been a while since i felt i so good with Wings picks after Round 1.

 

[NickH8]

Incredibly happy with the first round. Give me two defensemen in the second round and this is the perfect draft.

 

[13to40]

This kid will be a stud. He grew up a few minutes from my house... great work ethic and determination. For all of the fans who wanted a defender with the second pick the wings had in the first round, this kid will definitely be worth it!

let's hope so, the second round picks by Holland in the recent past have not gone very well (Ouellet, Sproul, Frk, Nastasiuk) then the rest from 2015 draft on are still too early to judge. Seems like a kid with a good work ethic and leadership skills which I like.

 

[MBauer]

Couldn't be happier they actually went BPA, just use the next 2-3 picks on D.

 

[Henkka]

Veleno was ~15 almost in every possible rank. Getting him at 30th... awesome.

Thanks to Tomas Tatar and George McPhee.

And Kenny.

 

[Big Ed]

Wow, hell yeah. I like this pick. Who knows where the hell we are going to get defenseman from though....

There's one pick between us and Bode Wilde

 

[FireBird71]

A couple D in the 2nd and Regula in the 3rd please

 

[Hadoop]

What an awesome draft so far. We need more skill everywhere in the lineup and both times we took the best player available.

 

[TheMule93]

This draft really couldn't have (realistically) gone better haha. Man am I happy.

 

[tfong]

Nice, not bad. I had Veleno pegged as a 2nd line center in the 15-20 range. The fact we got him at 30 is great and really bolsters our forward prospects down the road.
