What’s the point of drafting a 20y/o? Hypothetically we could sign him next year as an UDFA, right? Not complaining - just a bit interesting to draft a double overager.

It isn't the first time they've taken a double OA. *shrug* Given how some of the stat guys are studying this, it's funny that in later rounds OA's actually make the NHL at a rate similar to or exceeding the first-time draftees. It gets them into the organization, they can work with the guy in Dev Camp/Rookie Camp and see if it is someone they want in the organization going forward. The hit rate is pretty similar in terms of points/game and NHL game played thresholds.

I still would like them to look at Harvey-Pinard if no one else takes him.

Carolina takes Blake Murray. Amazing.

Become a Bills fan. Beane's been killing the draft the past 2 years.

Unless you like playmakers in a completely playmaking offensive league.

He’s totally ready to win Super Bowl 20 though

This analyst just said he thinks Caufield was passed on because teams saw two big teams like Boston and St Louis in the finals.

Which era Boston team does he think was in there?

So Luke Toporowski of the Spokane Chiefs ends up going undrafted. Kid has a high motor and good iq. Would like to see us invite him to prospects camp.

Anyone else go undrafted that posters would like to see invited?

Yeah, it's funny that the rep of the "Big Bad Bruins" is not the reality of their roster. And yet, it does seem like the chatter is again all nudge-nudge-wink-wink, gotta get bigger from the talking heads around hockey. It's such a league of followers...

Justin Bergeron comes to mind. All sorts of offense from the blueline. Maybe Parker Ford (Sioux City, USHL; Providence commit) though they'd have to get him on the phone basically today to have him there in time to start it. Joseph Garaffa from the Kitchener Rangers is another one who didn't get taken today.
