GDT: NHL Entry Draft 2018 - June 23rd - 11 AM ET - NHLN/Sportsnet

Cmon pick a swede!

 

[The Ugly Truth]

I've been calling that. Ladd will be traded for someone's high priced goalie with a replacement ready to step up. Could be Quick or someone else. One way or another, Isles will have an all star type goalie on opening night.

I was joking. No one is trading a good player for Ladd. I think the Kings also aren't ready to blow their team up yet. But re-signing JT, then adding Quick + Calvin Pickard + Jacob Trouba would turn Lamoriello into an Islander god.

It's probably a good idea to draft a Finnish defenseman in the 7th round.

How did so many high ranked players not get drafted?

Giles, Eggenberger, Galeniuk....

Lots of top 50 ranked players didn’t get drafted. Way more off the board picks this draft than I can remember. Odd.

Guerin is a funny guy:

 

[Barry Amsterdam]

Here's a fun game for everyone.

Two players, same age, both played in the OHL this past year.

One went 5th overall, in Barrett Hayton.

One went undrafted, in Nathan Dunkley.

Can you even guess which is which?

Perhaps being high ranked means all team actually send people to watch you. And it becomes either-or: Either they put you on their list. And pick you relatively high. Or they say: well, we don't pick that guy. When the crap-shooting starts late, you pick someone you barely haven't evalueted from the list instead.

Slovakia has more drafted goalies than Finland in birth years 1996, 1997 and 1998

There was lots of hype about Veleno years ago . some had him top 5 back then. I didn't see him anywhere close to that .he went to the 2nd rd. A kid from my backyard.
