Vagrant
The Czech Condor
Here is the thread we make every year. Compare your draft wounds and victories to your NHL counterparts. Quite a mixed bag for the Capitals this year with a few risers and a few not taken.
Sam Reinhart (1st, 2nd Overall) - NHL (1st, 2nd Overall to Buffalo) +0
Hunter Smith (2nd, 57th Overall) - NHL (2nd, 54th Overall to Calgary) +3
Nick Magyar (3rd, 61st Overall) - NHL (4th, 93rd Overall to Colorado) -32
Blake Clarke (4th, 99th Overall - NHL (Undrafted) -1000
Brandon Montour (4th, 109th Overall) - NHL (2nd, 55th Overall to Anaheim) +54
Antti Kalapudus (7th, 182nd Overall) - NHL (Undrafted) -1000
Alexis Pepin (7th, 195th Overall) - NHL (4th Round, 114th Overall to Colorado) +81
Bonus: Jaedon Descheneau (6th Round, 156th Overall in 2013) - NHL (5th Round, 124th Overall to St. Louis) +32
I didn't really expect Kalapudus to be drafted. I didn't even expect to draft him, but Blake Clarke being passed over was interesting to me. Not even a late round bone for what he did the season before last. I suppose in the age of reentry it's not entirely surprising to see players passed over who had a rough season to put it mildly. Encouraged by the jumps made by Pepin and Montour. Hunter Smith was such an obvious Calgary pick that it's humorous. Great to see a 6th round pick from last year that went undrafted get picked in a higher slot than I took him last season. And some heart for those of us that had players undrafted again. It seems more and more we're getting these kind of players coming back and getting drafted for us a season later.
