Panthers 2015 Draft Talk

[IM Clutcm]

Maybe he will pull a Lindros.

I want to see that, just to see the package it would take to land him.

Maybe he will pull a Lindros.

no way he does. he even said in person multiple times he doesn't believe in that. would make him look bad too.

How long would he have to sit out to get re drafted? LOL poor kid.

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

Oh my. So bad.

He sounds like he doesn't know what he is doing, this isn't NHL 15. He sounds like one of these stupid fans on the internet. Even if I give him credit and say maybe you can win a lot of regular season games with offense, to be a serious contender you have to play defense. Defense wins in the playoffs and championships.

 

[flapanthersfan]

Scrivens is serviceable and they have a decent young defense. They still need more obviously but they'll probably be able to outscore most of the teams that they play now

Scrivens is awful.

 

[Gentle Man]

Scrivens is awful.

Yup. It's all about Tyler Bunz.


My Anaconda don't want none unless you got Bunz Hun....

Im sorry

No chance. Players were a different breed back in the early 90's. He'll be an Oiler.

Maybe he will pull a Lindros.

The young UFA age means it's not profitable to do this anymore.

How long would he have to sit out to get re drafted? LOL poor kid.

The route he'd have to take is do 4 years of college and then sign with whatever team for 5 years, reaching UFA age at 27. Whereas if he signs with Edmonton he gets paid for 7 years and reaches UFA at 25.

Being Edmonton (the way they have been run) I don't think anybody would blame him.

At least Edmonton gets to raise another banner.

 

[Dread Clawz]

at least he's out west. I'm so thankful he didnt end up in toronto...

i think the coyotes take strome at 3rd now, they still need that top center. hanifin at 4, marner at 5.

i wonder if they trade draisaitl now that he'll be 3rd line center at best. and maybe yakupov too to address the D.

I would trade RNH over Draisaitl. You'll get a better return.

 

[hockeydude1]

I LOLed when Edmonton won the first pick. We will be fine picking 11th.

 

[Gentle Man]

Willing to bet our pick gets moved for a trade, Dont know who but I bet it happens

When he walked by Kessel's picture?

He realized he wont be joining him in Florida

“If you look closely you can actually pinpoint the exact moment his heart breaks in two."

He looks like he's literally nauseous.

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

Edmonton will have no defense and goalie at the end of the day

Well at least the NHL proved that the draft lottery isn't rigged.

Can't imagine a worse outcome for the league than this.

LOL seriously. You'd think they'd want to help out their stepchild Arizona if anything.

Yeah, I wonder where those conspiracy folk are going to go with their argument now. They were insistent/convinced it was rigged.

 

[StrangeVision]

Spectacular.

Truly the best part of this. The conspiracy nuts have nothing to grasp onto with this one. I mean, that won't stop them from continuing to be crazy, but whatever.

 

[spacemanatee]

the question now is; where does hanifin whind up? is he dropping til 6th?

 

[Android 16]

the question now is; where does hanifin whind up? is he dropping til 6th?

EDM: McDavid - No brainer
BUF: Eichel - Consolation prize
ARI: Strome - Already have an ace on defense, but no potential #1C
TOR: Marner - Toronto is stupid and will pick offense (what they believe is BPA)
CAR: Hanifin - Carolina sees Hanifin drop, take him and run
NJD: Crouse - Big, powerful Lamoriello type guy
PHI: Provorov - They pick based on needs as well and they're very skinny on defense
CBJ: Rantanen - Another huge foward with top-six potential, fits with Johansen down the road (Finnish GM will take the Finnish stud in the top 10)
SJS: Werenski - Like their depth at foward, but need to add more on defense
COL: Barzal - Won't allow a talent like Barzal to drop any further, plus they probably think they need scoring.
FLA: -------> Imo, we should choose one of Pavel Zacha (CZE), Timo Meier (SUI) and Travis Konecny (CAN)

 

[HockeyRulez]

the question now is; where does hanifin whind up? is he dropping til 6th?

IMO it would go like this:

Oilers pick McDavid
Sabres pick Eichel
Coyotes pick Strome/Marner
Maple Leafs pick Strome/Marner
Hurricanes pick Hanifin

I'd be surprised if he went passed 5.
