They had at least three hours to prepare for those 3 picks. If you're taking guys that you would've taken with your third rounder, in the first round, then you fail completely.

IMO Provorov is better in his zone than Morin (and obviously the others, too, by extension). This is what people under appreciate about Provorov's game. He's one of the most economical defenders I've seen at 18 years old. The same way guys like Timonen and Giordano manipulate space and use their positioning to limit options, Provorov is able to neutralize opponents. I agree with FLYguy that a Provorov-Morin pairing will be a perfect shut down duo with Provorov bringing the brain and Morin the muscle.

Kings still trying to work a trade with Richards. If they can move that contract MacDonald is tradable lol

Shutdown D aren't really drafted. They just kind of develop that way as they progress towards the NHL and get placed into roles. I think Vlasic is the best example of this. Drafted as more of an offensive guy that could skate. Developed into one of the best shutdown guys in the league. I could see Hagg being that kind of guy (on a much lesser scale though).
You want to draft the defenseman with the best combo of size, skill, skating ability, and smarts. Just gives you the best odds of finding an NHL player the deeper in the draft you go.

I'm just wondering how the hell did Chiarelli not beat Flames offer, can't wrap my head around that.
If Jeremy Roy falls further Id love to package our thirds and maybe a fourth for him, but I don't see him falling past 40.

I can't remember where but I saw that Boston wanted Nurse coming back & wouldn't move off it.

The heat of the moment can get to you especially as a first time GM. Those picks are flying off the board. Those deals were finalized this afternoon. Even if they had a few hours to mull over different scenarios it's not ideal. Sometimes you need to sleep on some ideas.

I'm not very educated on the subject of prospects but it seems like Boston made some terrible choices. Really seem like some off the wall picks given how much Kyle Connor and Mathew Barzal were touted around these parts. I just still can't believe the terrible return they got for D.H.
From what I can tell it seems like the Flyers made some great picks together and Provorov fell into our lap so he was the ideal choice. I am really glad to see Hextall is going to shake up the defense core this year since it was so dreadful last year.

I believe it's the french pronounciation (as in whah), but damn it if I haven't been wrong about 6 times tonight on a whole breadth of topics.

Nah, not buying it.
And considering the deals he made during the day? Sounds like he might be in over his head. Just a little bit.Im still pronouncing it like Derek Roy.
Same with Kylington. It's KY (as in Kite) lington, not SHillington

I will forever be curious to know who they would have taken if the big5+Provorov were off the board.

Just finished watching the draft. I'm so happy. Getting Provorov and Konecny. Konecny was my guy.
Was psyched to see they traded up.

apparently these were the two guys they really wanted, from what i read Hextall was trying to trade up to get both of them. he wanted to trade more picks to get to Konecny but he fell. What a great day! They looked so happy when they realized they could get Provorov at 7! AMAZING

Tomorrow will be very interesting. You have to assume that a terrible D-man gets traded for a pick then maybe trade up for a 2nd?

at this point, everything else is gravy in this draft as far as I'm concerned. we already did what we needed to do. major upgrade on both D and at forward.
all there's left to do now, is draft a goalie, and unload some of our D like Grossmann, LSchenn, etc.
