GDT: Draft day- 2013 Part II

[Gator Mike]

Holy. Crap. That Devlin kid is lucky his head wasn't still in that helmet that comes flying off...

 

[chizzler]

Kind of pissed they couldn't make a move into the first or second. Heck even third would've been ok. Can't stand pat. Oh well.

 

[Dwatson783]

Thanks for the analysis...a lot of his attributes sound similar to some of the attributes Krejci has...not saying he will be anything close to that, but seems like a player with a lot of subtle skill and a head for the game.

I've never seen Fitzgerald play but from Bill's analysis the 1st name that pops into my head is Riendeau- Bill do you think there's a comparison to be made there?

 

[bb_fan]

Soooo...
Who did the B's pick....?

 

[Chieftans22*]

No one that will be on the roster next year.

 

[Bruwinz37]

Dude, did you like this draft? I know there is no room for discussion on a message board, but I didn't like it..

I think they made the best of what they had. No "sexy" picks so I think that disappoints us. Certainly more of a long term draft with Swedes and Fitz at BC.

Umm yeah.

That's nice.

Thanks for the info.

 

[Rookie Chargers]

If anyone's interested, there's a profile on Peter Cehlarik here, which aired during this year's SEL playoffs (interview starts at 1:55).

Also, a couple of post-game interviews from earlier in the season:
After his first two games in the SEL.
After scoring his first SEL goal.

Freaky, I used to have the same hair cut, that is when I had hair.

Strange they didn't go to the "O" until round 7.... They know better then me however..(obviously)

Fitzy supposedly plays a much faster, more tenacious game than Riendeau. I have heard Derek Stepan used as the closest comparison for Fitzy.

 

[13Hockey]

Dempsey and don Sweeney are related

I have worked out with Mitchell before

 

[Shaun]

Darren Dreger ‏@DarrenDreger 28s
Florida tried to acquire first pick overall, but Colorado wanted 2 of the Panthers top young roster players which killed the discussion.

 

[Rookie Chargers]

I just wasted 5 hours of my life to learn that.

 

[thiscalltoarms]

I think I need to drink this off. Haven't had a touch of booze since game 6. But, we had a bad day. Horton, Chia vs Seguin, no pick til 60.


WTF.

 

[11MilesPerJohan]

I think we just have to wait and see how these players develop.

Aside from seeing Fitzgerald play a few times in high school, I don't know these kids from a hole in the wall.

Considering they didn't have a first round pick, and they were picking at the end of each round, the chances of getting a player that would impact the team in the next couple of years was not likely.

Heck, except for a handful of guys in the first round, most of these 17 or 18 year old kids are going to be playing juniors or in college next year.

I think any draft pick is likely 2-5 years away depending on what round they are drafted in. I'm excited to see these guys at development camp and start following their progress. We just can't realistically call this draft a success or failure at this point.

The Bruins obviously see something in these players, or else they wouldn't have taken them.

Not sure if anyone saw this:

Peter Quenneville

-He is the second cousin of Chicago Blackhawks Stanley Cup-winning coach Joel Quenneville and Boston Bruins defenseman, Johnny Boychuk, is his uncle by marriage.


Random lol

 

[Shaun]

I think I completely hate this draft but i'm still undecided.

 

[TheBigBadB]

it was a meh draft. Wont know for awhile if these picks were good. Problem still exists with current line up though and thats a concern

 

[CanadianBruinsFan]

The current lineup wasn't getting fixed with this draft. There was nothing outside Seguin they could give up to get in the first round, and outside the top 4 picks I wouldn't be happy with that anyway. There's an entire summer to figure it out.

I have no idea about any of the players they drafted, so I'm not gonna pretend to give it a grade. Bs scouts know more about hockey than I do.

Definitely random but there were a lot of family ties this draft

B's prospect Ryan Fitzgerald is a cousin of Keith Tkachuk and Kevin Hayes (Chicago prospect). His Dad, Tom is the Assistant GM in Pittsburgh.

 

[LouJersey]

Agreed. Hoping for some more picks in a rights deal with nate or ference and see Peverley dealt. Hard to watch Chicago deal cap problems for assets and re sign a key member. Bad week for Boston.

Now we can all look forward to Free Agent Friday. Where everyone on this board will ***** and moan and consider this off-season a disaster five minutes after noon and every five minutes after that.

I played against Fitzy when he was on MC. That team was an absolute powerhouse and it was mainly because of him. He just dominates the game. He has a great stride and thinks the game like no one I've ever defended against. He beats you with his players around him, yet he has the skill to embarrass you. He's very fast, and a very good passer. And this was 2 years ago. So pumped for Fitzy to get drafted by the home town team!!!
