Imagine getting upset at mid round draft picks.
You know, it might have been nice to take a center? Yes? JR: NO!
Apparently not.If there's a clear disparity absolutely. But there weren't any centers worthy of the 77th pick?
They take BPA.
I mean... I'm like 90% sure it's the scouting team that are making the decisions, not JR
I don't know, this far in there's much less consensus.Apparently not.
Obviously! The scouts probably had this kid way higher than anyone else available or they wouldn't go back to back goalies. Hopefully we have our next Murray and Jarry of the future.
This happens every year. The whinging in these threads is identical to what we heard about the Guentzel and Goligoski picks.Imagine getting upset at mid round draft picks.
JR stopped listening to the scouts and is now only listening to himself because he’s a goaltender expert. Someone needs to double up on his meds.
I'm not gonna hinge my hopes on a guy like Bellerive.Does it matter? We can always trade for them...
We have D prospects that we can use to trade for C. We have wingers. And now 2 goalies lol.
Besides, as of now it looks like we are set at C for awhile. Obviously Sid and Geno. But even if McCann doesnt pan out at C , I think Blueger continues to improve. He can be our 3C. Even if its not this year...then next. He has the ability. Offensively and on D.
I also think Bellerive will surprise alot of people and have a very good second season in AHL. His build is tailor made for us...a Crosby lite. If his offense can improve(which he showed in OHL) then he can be our next 3C or 4C.
No, but that might be the theory their employing.If we draft all the goaltenders, eventually teams will have to come to us for one ... right?
Neither one was exactly off the board.Only in our weird Penguins world are these two goalies BPA available. This is just the typical "smartest guys in the room bullshit" our scouts pull.
We are about to get skewered for these picks over the next couple years.
Thank God, I was worried.Calle Clang is a pretty metal name from a pretty metal country, I approve.
Neither one was exactly off the board.
Should they poll HFBoards instead?
Wonder if they realize how bad the defense is on this team yet?

Y'see, this is where BPA sucks. Maybe try filling out a pretty awful prospect pool, especially since you have a guy who just turned 25 in the net already.
How does a a 5+ year out defensive prospect help that?
