GDT: Draft Day - The Council of Nine

[nickschultzfan]

Nope. Just that he connected Bonino to his time in Pittsburgh, but that was probably expected.

Crosby incoming.

I wish our club was one of those clubs that have like 10-12 picks in the draft... Every year we only have like 4-5 picks

We've had fewer than 6 picks only once since 2009. 8 in each of the previous two drafts.

 

[GordieGallant]

everyone says next year is good for D so why spend picks this year (just asking not arguing)

O’Roerke will play in the NHL for 15 years.

 

[thestonedkoala]

Is it me, or has this draft been dreadfully and painfully long?

 

[Bazeek]

I'm lost, where'd we get a 5th from?

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Traded back into the 5th round. Took Pavel Novak. RW.

 

[Appleyard]

Great pick.

 

[MuckOG]

Right handed shot!!!!!!

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

No clue.

[Wasted Talent]

I assume that means we have no more picks left?

Yep.

 

[thestonedkoala]

Interesting, but possibly good draft. No goalies, no right handed defensemen, which is fine.

Big fan of making moves like that, if the Wild still have a guy they like on the board, throwing away the later picks to get a guy with potential is perfect. Love what we have accomplished with this draft.

Team is locked in

 

[MuckOG]

I don't see how eliminating checking will make it safer from a virus transmission perspective. Players will still be sitting together on the bunch, no?

[Dr Jan Itor]

Anybody out there that we wouldn't mind jumping back into the draft for?

 

[Nsjohnson]

So we took a guy who could have been drafted at #3 or #4, or at #2 in other years. We got him at #9. Win.

We got two guys in the second round that in some leader's opinions were late 1st rounders in Khooshie and ROR.
Double win.

Hunt was projected to be a 3rd-4th and we got em.
Solid.

Novak was supposed to be a 3-4th rounder. We got him in the 5th.
Win.

 

[TheeNorthStar]

Cant remember the last time ive been this excited by our draft class.

 

[thestonedkoala]

Hunt was projected to be a 3rd-4th and we got em.
Solid.

Novak was supposed to be a 3-4th rounder. We got him in the 5th.
Win.

Novak was seen as a late 2nd rounder actually. So was Hunt.

 

[guitarhunterdude]

Generally I'm for quantity over quality of picks but I can't help but be excited by Novak and Khusnutdinov so I'm good with trading up there. Not as much with the defensemen but we got Rossi and Khusnutdinov so the rest is just gravy to me, frankly.
