Prospect Info: Ottawa selects Viktor Lodin (C) 94th

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

Can’t be worse than our old friend Timothy Boyle.

Has the potential to be the next Todd Burgess.

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

This draft is reminding me of 2014 Jesus Christ.

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

Hey there you go, we finally picked someone who plays in Europe. We do have scouts out there.

We don't though. We just stole someone else's draft sheet.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

No one has heard of this pick... and statistically it doesn't look like he did much... but . .let's face it it's Pierre Dorion so we should trust his draft picks because ..well he has to be good at something I suppose.
Thomson
Pinto
Sogaard
Lodin

amazing draft so far
Dorion is amazing

 

[aragorn]

He’s 6’2 man, isn’t that usually enough for you?

No. Not when they passed on better players, this guy wasn't even ranked. One of the most disappointing drafts in years, especially after so much hype with three picks in the first 44 picks & then they passed on better players with almost every pick. I hope he turns into a good player for their sake but I can't help but think they have made more mistakes than good picks. We'll see I guess.

 

[LudwigVonKarlsson]

Good pick. All hail Dornyk. #FYOUS

 

[Evanc23]

This seems like a guy you'd sign for free as a free agent.. not one you use a 4th round pick on..

I’m not saying the Senators only have 1 European scout, but this guy playing on the same team as Nick Ebert is pretty funny

Like when they signed Olle Alsing to a contract while scouting Davidsson

I'm not sure it's funny at all. Like I said in another thread, it looks like lazy scouting. I'll wait n see though........

Don't know anything about him but based on his name alone I'm going to say he's a stud and Dorion got a steal.

Yup that's a name of an nhl player. If he doesnt play 10 games within 4 years, somebody quote me here and I'll buy you a beer

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

So....what else do folks know about him? Swedish, center, 20......anything else?

 

[robsenz]

And the crowd went wild!

 

[Gil Gunderson]

So....what else do folks know about him? Swedish, center, 20......anything else?

Dorion witnessed many high-fives when he was picked.

Likely would not have been drafted. Likely could have had him and used the pick on another player ... maybe a first year eligible player like Jordan Spence or Ethan Keppen or Tyce Thompson already in the NCAA..

No explanation

 

[aragorn]

I'm going to say, "The Who".

 

[RedWhiteBlackGold]

Responsible owners do not draft like this. They want big names at the draft to sell tickets. Not to draft unknown players. It is a joke. They will stay unknown.

Other than Hughes, what other "big name" player was there that would sell tickets? I don't even think a casual fan heard of the next top pick after Hughes.

 

[Tuna99]

I don’t mind this pick.

But Dorion rates himself as a GM on how many fist pumps and high fives he sees around him. He even fist pumped himself twice in the mirror so he could see them when he made the Burrows deal.

I give this pick a half single fist pump and a very soft high five that ends with finger tickling.

 

[Icelevel]

The European scouts will look dumb if he doesn’t make it with them being more exited than ever to get him where they did.

 

[OgieO]

Well, that one goal above did demonstrate some skill. Only one play, but filthy nonetheless. [shrug].

Hopefully this is another late bloomer home run pick like Hoffman, Batherson, etc.

 

[aragorn]

Dorion witnessed many high-fives when he was picked.

He witnesses many high fives by every other NHL team in the room after watching him make that pick.

Hey there you go, we finally picked someone who plays in Europe. We do have scouts out there.

They hired a blogger to scout sweden I guess he got enough hits they trusted his opinion finally.
