So You Think You Can Draft 2017

[pitseleh]

I called that as a bad pick immediately. I mean, a defenseman named "Pilon," come on.

He probably retired due to being sick of the jokes.

 

[jigsaw99]

5 - Gabe Vilardi
33 - Nicolas Hague
55 - Jonah Gadjovich
64 - Michael DiPietro
95 - Nikita Popugaev
135 - Jack Adams
181 - Sebastian Repo
188 - Yegor Zaitsev

 

[Red]

I would have drafted a bit differently, but for a lot of the picks, we picked my 2nd or 3rd choice so I really can't say I disagree with picks 5, 33, 55, 64, and 181.

5 - Gabe Vilardi
33 - Jaret Anderson-Dolan
55 - Jonah Gadjovich
64 - Stelio Mattheos
95 - Markus Phillips
135 - Denis Smirnov
181 - Sascha Chmelevski
188 - Ben Jones

 

[Canucker]

5. Pettersson (close call between he and Glass)

* I would have tried to trade up anywhere from #20 and up to try and pick Tolvanen when he started to fall, I would have been willing to include #33 and #64.

If not...

33. Jaret Anderson-Dolan
55. Joni Ikonen (although I do like Gadjovich)
64. Alexei Lipanov
95. Noel Hoefenmayer (considered Strome but had to go D)
135. Parker Foo
181. Jocktan Chainey (I do like the Palmu pick the more i see of him)
188. Robbie Stucker

Like Verviticus, beyond #95 I'm throwing darts blindfolded hoping to hit on something.

 

[elitepete]

5. Vilardi
33. Anderson-Dolan
55. Gadjovich
64. Dipietro
95. Strome
135. Smirnov
181. Ivanov
188. Kuznetsov

 

[Tryforthekingdom]

5 - Pettersson
33 - Jason Robertson
55 - Jonah Gadjovich
64 - Di Pietro
95 - Mason Shaw
135 - Kevin Hancock (undrafted)
181 - Jordy Bellerive (undrafted)
188 - Matt Timms (undrafted)

Forward heavy, but there it is from my list, for posterity's sake.

 

[PhilMick]

5 - Cody Glass
33 - Jaret Anderson-Dolan
55 - Jonah Gadjovich
64 - Markus Phillips
95 - Ian Scott
135 - Jarret Tyszka
181 - Petrus Palmu
188 - Rickard Hugg

 

[The Drop]

Won't do full draft as I'm not that familiar with the later picks so:

5) Pettersson
33) Hague
55) Gildon
64) Lipanov

 

[Black Noise]

5 - Cody Glass
33 - Jaret Anderson-Dolan
55 - Jonah Gadjovich
64 - Ivan Lodnia
95 - Mason Shaw
135 - Sebastian Aho
181 - Petrus Palmu
188 - Jockton Chainey

 

[VanillaCoke]

Looking at 2013 and 2014 now is weird. A few posters had significantly better picks than the pro scouts.

As an aside, whats up with Joe Hicketts!?!
Undrafted and seems to be having a good start to his AHL career...

Wanted to get in on this so i cold look back in a few years for fun.

Pretty happy with our picks and the logic behind them. This is my take. i would have moved back in the 1st round to add an asset from 5-8 for the 54 from Buffalo.

33- Jesper Boqvist
*54- Jonah Gadjovich
55- Max Gildon
64- Michael Dipietro
