Welcome to the Golden Misfits, Scooter!

Disappointed Newhook went one spot before, but Krebs was the next best thing.

On an unrelated note, i'm interested to see how far Kalyiev falls. Seems teams don't like his personality.

Congrats on taking Krebs. As a Jets fan I was hoping he would drop to #20 so fans could see him locally since he is playing for our Western Hockey League team. The good news is he has a tonne of backup as the #1 and #2 pick in the WHL Draft were Winnipeg Ice selections and both agreed to play for the team.

Was hoping for Spencer Knight, but just knew Fla. would take him, Luongo is almost ready for Medicare, but Krebs is a steal at #17. Canadiens really wanted him but couldn't pass Caufield.

Guessing the uncle in grey jersey

Cocky confidence

 

[Kaapo di tutti capi]

Congratulations, VGK fans! Pretty sure you got the steal of the first round.

As an Oilers fan I very much wanted to see Edmonton take Krebs at 8.

As a Kootenay Ice season ticket holder, once the Oilers didn’t take him I was still excited to see where he would go....congrats VGK fans, you picked a great player today....jealous.

 

[nickp91]

Krebs is a fantastic player all around

 

[KnishOfTheCrease]

He gets around on a scooter very well.

I think Broberg was a fantastic pick, suspect you'll end up being very happy with that one. Dude can play and has one of those names that's gonna be loved by the media on top of it.

Any long term worries about the achilles injury? Watching Erik Karlsson never be the same after getting his sliced has been a legitimate concern I have.

He is a smaller guy, so a loss of mobility could really hurt his development. I think the very good IQ could make up for it in a way, but he seems to be a little waterbug and skating is the basis of his game.

This selection killed a Ducks trade up.

From Eric Stephens:
"The Ducks had a chance to really turn heads at the draft. With the 29th and 39th overall choices also at their disposal, they investigated moving up to No. 18 for their second pick.
Dallas held that choice and the framework of a deal had been arranged. Vegas’ selection of center Peyton Krebs at 17 ruined the plan, because the Ducks liked the heady playmaking center who stood out on a struggling Kootenay Ice team in the Western Hockey League."

The flames fan side of me loves that we hindered the ducks

Eh more chances for Martin Madden to make selections is still good for Anaheim. Just would've been crazy for them to get both Zegras and Krebs.

 

[azcanuck]

I wanted Krebs for my Habs but we couldn't pass on Cole so I'm happy. Vegas has fast become my second favorite team. You will love this kid. cant believe he fell there. Lot of dumb teams.

 

[Eegs]

Man this kid is a pleasure to watch. I posted on the Habs board that he reminds me of Brendan Gallagher. A bigger Gallagher with better vision and passing that plays center. He looks like he could hop into the NHL right now. Vegas has a beauty here.
