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

[Zil]

Tell me about Walcott.

 

[Chief]

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.

I love the optimism. We need more of that.

 

[Charlie Conway]

Walcott. A 5'11 '94-born defender....

 

[Joey Bones]

Daniel Walcott is now a Ranger

 

[McDonagh]

Another 20 year old

 

[Raspewtin]

Daniel Walcott.

Love this pick. There's your HRHR offensive defenseman. Played for Blainville.

 

[Steve Kournianos]

Walcott.

Therrrrrrrre we go. Offensive dman and puck distributor.

Another American. Chicago kid.

Edit: sorry. Montreal native but lived in Chicago and went to school there.

Letang / Ellis type.

 

[Son of Steinbrenner]

The Flyers just drafted Johan Lindblom's son. Holy **** i'm getting old.

 

[Joey Bones]

Daniel Walcott.

Love this pick. There's your HRHR offensive defenseman. Played for Blainville.

Agreed.

 

[howztheglass]

Walcott

 

[silverfish]

Another guy straight to Hartford or Greenville?

 

[jerseyjinx94]

This guy is 161 lbs at 20???

 

[GAGLine]

Our usual MO of drafting over-agers. Good that they can step right into the AHL if they are ready.

 

[Charlie Conway]

And another d-man....

 

[Joey Bones]

Tyler Nanne too!!

 

[Raspewtin]

I know nothing about Tyler Nanne.

Are we done now?

 

[Zil]

Not a lot of forwards being taken.

 

[howztheglass]

I guess this draft was all about goalies and Dman.

 

[jerseyjinx94]

So Dorsett traded for Shesterkin, Walcott and Nanne.

 

[jerseyjinx94]

Dan Rosen ‏@drosennhl 1m
Wait, did the Rangers just pick and say "The New York Islanders select..." Did I hear that wrong?

 

[Blue Blooded]

I like the Walcott pick, but how is everyone passing on Tkachev, Watson, and Mangiapane?

E: Wait, Walcott is a 94? We can't even draft skill right.

 

[Charlie Conway]

No more picks, barring a trade. I would've liked a late flyer on a forward.

 

[Don Chytil]

So Dorsett traded for Shesterkin, Walcott and Nanne.

No? Dorsett was traded for the 85th. He was traded for Iverson.

 

[Zil]

So Dorsett traded for Shesterkin, Walcott and Nanne.

I pointed this out earlier: We used the Dorsett pick on Iverson. You can say the Dorsett pick gave us the flexibility to make these deals, but the actual guy we got for Dorsett is Iverson.

 

[jerseyjinx94]

No? Dorsett was traded for the 85th. He was traded for Iverson.

I thought he went for the 89th?

My bad
