Confirmed with Link: Mazanec traded to Canucks for 2020 7th round pick

I guess we have more of our scouts' kids who are ready to be drafted.

I made that joke the last 7th we got.

Now I’m gonna pout since u stole my thunder

According to the 2016 version of the Shuckers chart, which I think is unrealistic but whatever, three picks in round seven have the same value as a pick at the top of the third.

I SO wanted Wilde there. Ticked me off so much that it turned a draft that, for me, was otherwise an A+ (not gonna gripe about Kjellberg where he was picked) into a B in one fell swoop.

(And the poor kid hasn't even played but a handful of games since being picked. )

If it makes you feel better (it probably won’t) but I don’t think the Rangers were ever going to draft Wilde with any pick after decommitting from two schools

Own the seventh round!

Back when there were 21 teams and a longer draft Harry Neale once described a ninth round draft choice as someone who hangs around the rink.

I saw a beer league goalie steal the show in Chicago last year, so sign me up

So why are we drafting goalies in the 2nd round?

FYI

Everytime a shmuck like Murray comes around, or any new hot shiny goalie from other teams, we're like who the f*** is that guy?!
Where he come from?!

Answer: the second round of the draft.

 

[Mac n Gs]

Correct answer: Matt Murray was a 3rd rounder.

I have less of an issue with the Linbom pick as it's pretty clear the Rangers really like the kid and didn't like any goalies elsewhere in the draft. They had the ammunition to get the kid they liked and took forwards/defensemen throughout the rest of the draft. They clearly have a plan to take at least 1 goalie every draft and Lindbom was their guy this year.

Sorry. As a rookie I should deferred to the veteran poster. My apologies.

Honored but I’m not a veteran poster other than if you go by my age lol

That he was taken right before a talented Faller in Bode Wilde really stings the most for me.

Calen Addison or Jack Drury would've been fine with me. It was just a horrible pick....

I think it's less "package three 7ths for a 3rd" and more "package a 7th and your 3rd/4th to jump up 10-15 spots and get a guy that's a faller but was high on your draft board".

Haha, yeah, I wasn't suggesting it was actually package the 7ths for a 3rd. Chiarelli is gone so no one would actually do that.

You could package a couple and move into the sixth. Or use them, as you said, to sweeten a swap in the middle rounds.

It provides flexibility, if nothing else. And 7ths aren't worthless on their own, either.

 

[cwede]

... 7ths aren't worthless on their own, either.

especially around here, where we value the 7ths (Hughes, Huska, Ronning, Virta) higher than the 2d/3d's (Gropp. Halverson, Lindblom, Day, Kovacs, Zborovskiy, Iverson, Tambellini)
