I had a guy I liked here and ranked him higher but I went with the Orca instead. I'm interested to see if he goes undrafted because St. Louis will definitely bring him in on a tryout in the offseason. I feel like the 7th round you can take the risks and see what happens.This exercise has shown me how different peoples draft boards can be and how even with 7 rounds, you can have guys you like that still don't get picked.
Dallas is surprised to be able to select...
Pavel Shen
Center -- shoots L
Born Aug 14 1999
[18 yrs. ago]
Height 5.09 -- Weight 183 [175 cm/83 kg]
Also seeing some conflicting reports on size.
@Morinisbear your up
Too close to Schenn for me. f*** himI actually drafted Shen in last year's Mock Draft (I think in round 7) when I was drafting for the Islanders, so I still consider him my property

Wait, I thought that everyone on this board was an expert! I mean, so many of us have seen every single one of these players and have studied their techniques in great detail!Have you taken into account the very real possibility – certainty, even – that some of us don't have a clue what we're doing?

I don't even think it is that. It is just not a perfect science. Ten different scouts will see a player ten different ways. And ten different fans will see that player ten different ways from that. It's like stock trading. You can gather all the information you can on a particular stock or stocks but you're ultimately just guessing.
Excellent point! Certainly this draft has led me to look at way more prospects than I usually do. Usually I look into the 1st 2 or 3 rounds, then that's it. But it was fun to read up on more guys and look for some diamonds in the rough.
But honestly, when you see a guy like Myers, Ghost and Parayko go undrafted, it shows how flawed pro scouts are as well.
According to www.draftsite.com, you are correct -- 203 is Philly's from the Straka trade.Are you sure 203 is new jerseys pick? Pretty sure this pick is phillys from the Straka trade. Looks like Jersey kept their seventh rounder last year so they forfeit their 7th this year to philly. Please confirm

No one has ever been able to determine what was the condition on actually getting the pick. Someone needs to email Hextall.
