GDT: NHL Draft Weekend Part III

[OmNomNom]

Devils select Jeremy Davies. Dam it, really wanted Sokolov

apparently no one wants him tho

 

[Colin226]

Took a kid from Montreal so that we can shaft them in a future trade because they overvalue French speakers

Well, the Devils need a Quebecois to win a Cup, too.

 

[StevenToddIves]

Jeremy Davies.

I'm good, but I'm not that good.

Ask me about our first 6 rounds.

 

[OmNomNom]

there goes sokolov

 

[Classic Devil]

Minnesota takes a swing on Sokolov.

 

[RememberTheName]

Sokolov is gone

 

[Emperoreddy]

Jeremy Davies.

Ask me about our first 6 rounds.

Put up some big numbers in the USHL. Playing at Northeastern next year.

Overall I am satisfied by our draft. Lots of new players into the system. We definitely reloaded RW.

Sigh

 

[The Wumpus]

Well first we gear up for free agency, and the trade market might heat back up as teams attempt to make space.

 

[The Wumpus]

Amazing name: Wings draftee Mattias Elfstrom.

 

[forceten]

Now that the draft is over and it seems some interesting names weren't drafted, any shot at signing some as Undrafted FA or as camp tryouts?

 

[Nocashstyle]

Surprising lack of trades in general.

Either way, what was everyone's favorite pick? I think I liked the Bastian one best.

 

[HenriquesJawLine]

All of a sudden we have some solid RW depth in the organization. And there is a good mix of skill sets. Bastian is a big power forward, Speers is a shooter and Anderson can open space for other players.

 

[forceten]

We didn't draft speers

 

[NjDevsRR]

We didn't draft speers

We did last year

 

[JimEIV]

We didn't draft speers

Huh? We drafted Blake Speers last year?

 

[Devils Army]

We didn't draft speers

Last year?

 

[JimEIV]

I like our draft overall...not to thrilled with our first pick...but as a whole I like what we did.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Surprising lack of trades in general.

I like all of our picks. McLeod and Bastian are good picks and should definitely develop into good NHL players.

I think Anderson and Malstov have a solid chance of being steals.

We took some good chances in the late rounds IMO. Odds are nothing will come of those guys, but if they do hit they should be good booms.
