GDT: HFNYR 2014 Draft Day, Friday June 27th/Saturday June 28th. 7:00 P.M. EST.

[Steve Kournianos]

Richie N.

Im not touching that last name.

Sniper with size.

 

[Don Chytil]

Alright we've got two more picks in the 5th, who are we looking at here?

Two names on my board: Disin Mayo, Cody Donaghey. Not sure why everyone is passing on Kulda, raises some flags for me.

 

[LundqvistsEvilTwin]

hows our scouts/drafting doing/going?

 

[Joey Bones]

Ondrej Kase and Pavel Jenys still on the board.

 

[Raspewtin]

I just turned the NHL network off. Absolutely horrendous coverage.

 

[Joey Bones]

So many unknown guys getting selected right now!

 

[Steve Kournianos]

He's a '94. What're the question marks?

Injuries.

Led Brandon in goal scoring though.

 

[GAGLine]

Finally some skill, but a 20-year old PP specialist that only gets 15 minutes per game at that age?

Much better players were available, but we had to pick one that was 6'2'' didn't we?

When we pick small guys, people complain that they have no size. When we pick big guys, people complain that they have no skill. When we have no depth in our bottom 6, people complain that we don't develop 3rd and 4th line players.

There are no players left that don't have something wrong with their game. We aren't going to find a 6'2" guy with blazing speed, high hockey IQ, high motor and high skill in the 5th round.

 

[Joey Bones]

Devils just got a very underrated shut down defender in Ryan Rehill.

 

[Fitzy]

#48 still available.

No idea why he's dropping. People doing a **** job scouting the ECAC again.

I was facetious, this organization (and most of it's fans) has an extremely unhealthy obsession with size.

What I meant was that they were seemingly looking for skill, but still passed up more skilled players for one with size.

But Detroit found Datsyuk so we have every right to expect a top 10 center

 

[Joey Bones]

#48 still available.

Agreed.

 

[Joey Bones]

Gersich to Caps

 

[Zil]

Agreed.

Who are you referring to?

 

[Charlie Conway]

Who are you referring to?

EDIT: never mind, I'm wrong.

 

[Joey Bones]

Who are you referring to?

How Bayreuther is still available and that there's ****** scouting in the ECAC

 

[Steve Kournianos]

Two big wingers - one a sniper, the other a bruiser

Two goalies - major organizational need

One crease clearing dman - not a need but still a good pick.

Its a weak center draft. They're doing well. Sather's thinking rather than reacting.

 

[Joey Bones]

Foegele, I believe.

Nope Bayreuther

The only thing I don't agree with is drafting a goalie with our highest pick.

 

[Joey Bones]

**** I totally forgot about Lindblom!! Philly got a good one there.

 

[Ail]

Started the draft with 4 picks, got a 5th and then flipped two in to 4.

Not bad.

 

[Raspewtin]

Started the draft with 4 picks, got a 5th and then flipped two in to 4.

Not bad.

Agreed.

Shoot for more quantity.

 

[Pizza]

This is why you trade back. Accumulate picks and hopefully get some nice depth.

 

[howztheglass]

We're up.
