Prospect Info: NHL 2017 Entry Draft - Part IV

[KingBogo]

Brannstrom train has arrived. Everyone aboard! choochoo

That's my thinking. If he is their target it may all work out just as planned.

 

[Zippity]

No improvements for this offseason.. no playoffs this season either.. I was patient with Chevy all season when we didn't have a goalie but now we miss the playoffs for no reason... I am on board with the firing of Chevy unless he finds a way to get a real good Goaltender and a traded back up... I guarantee nodbody would take a 24th OA,Toby and Dano for a 15th OA pick and under which shows how stupid Chevy is.

Calvin Pickard coming this way?

You think he will last that long?

D-Men Button has ranked around 24...

17. Valimaki
19. Brannstrom
30. Timmins
31. Vaakanainen
34. Jokiharju

Mental note: I'll need to do more research on Timmins.

Just go here to see many different rankings including Pronman, Hockey Prospectus, etc. All on one page. Pronman has Valimaki 22

If he does what are your thought's on the Chevy's XD moves?

Vaakanainen or Brannstrom, please.

(I would have been happy with either of them at #13).

 

[JetsFan815]

It also annoys me that the Coyotes are drafting one spot ahead of us. Since they have another pick in the 1st round they are going to be open to taking a flyer on a Brannstrom or drafting a more under the radar player like Vaakanainen if they fall

 

[Gil Fisher]

D-men McKenzie has ranked around 24...

16. Liljegren
20. Foote
22. Vaakanainen
25. Hague
28. Timmins
29. Brannstrom

Really happy with any of those. No need to move just take the best one available at 24.

 

[Master Scheif]

Is it weird I am actually more excited? I feel like now we could actually get a faller, whereas before I felt like we probably wouldnt have an easy decision. I think we have a great chance at a quality dman at 24.

Well aware of that site. Just think the Jets tend to have similar ranking to Button. So worth noting Button and McKenzie ranks around 24th pick.

 

[Gil Fisher]

I'm already an expert on spelling Vaakanainen.

 

[StatisticsAddict99]

Oettinger please and freaking thank you..

They can't draft both of them.

Lots of intriguing prospects in that range.

POJ is another intriguing prospect. Josh Norris is a big riser at C.

 

[nobody important]

That'a the road I'm hoping they take. Take the best goalie over also-rans in the F and D groups.

Columbus mock draft board. I teresting players left.

 

[Gil Fisher]

Oettinger please and freaking thank you..

Gawd no.

 

[nobody important]

Gawd no.

Please explain your objection to taking what is arguably the best goalie in the draft. This may be our chance to draft a bona fide #1 goalie.

Gimme Vaakanainen. Norris would be good too. Maybe POJ?

I expect jets go full Finn with this draft. 3 or 4 players.

What do we need a bona fide number one on 2020 for. We need one now.

Yeah.. I don't think we should be going for a goalie that won't be a bonafide #1 for another 4-7 years if ever. Pick a Dman that will be ready and will help us sooner, and pick from the wide variety of NHL ready tenders available right now.
