7th overall

I could live with it. I'd prefer one later, though.

 

[Jim Bob]

So, just take all the guys who wear CCM skates!

I don't think it'd be a bad idea, though I think I'd prefer to wait until the 6th where we have 3 picks.

I'm thinking they should draft 3 goalies in the 6th round.

Just found out a friends kid is going into the draft tonight, Louka Henault LD from the Spitfires.
Has anyone seen him play?

I've seen the Spits play, can't place him.

Louka Henault at eliteprospects.com

216 on NHLCS list of NA Skaters, so...

A friend of mine's nephew went in the first round of the NBA draft the other night. It's funny, because her youngest played lax when I coached U9 and I was always trying to get her to sign him up for hockey. I've never seen such a natural athlete. Must be genetic.

if we draft Krebs would he go up on stage in crutches or a wheelchair? Imagine drafting him and people not knowing about his injury seeing the Sabres drafting a guy accepting his jersey on crutches

it would be the perfect meme for this smoldering train wreck of an organization.

I'd want him in the wheelchair and then getting up ala Snoop

Went to a few Spits games last season and can't remember his name.

Please tell me he's the kid who is going to save my poor Knicks!

Nope - drafted by one team and almost immediately traded to another.

You drafted the Canadian kid

I'd take Mads Søgaard in the 3rd. He might even drop a little lower because he's almost certain to need hip surgery. He's someone UPL would have to look up to.

Barrett was the reason Duke didn't have the year they should have. Guy isn't as good as he thinks he is. Good luck with him, extremely selfish.

In the Spencer Knight episode of the InGoal Mag pod, they talked about something interesting.

6'4" is the tallest goalie to win the Cup.

Apparently the Leafs won't draft a goalie under 6'2" and they were talking about how Binnington is 6'1" so the Leafs wouldn't even look at him.

I do wonder if Mads is so tall that he's too tall to be effective.

 

[1972]

I’m fine with Boldy, but of the available options I’m least excited for him. He’s safe, he’s good. It takes balls to draft a Cole Caulfield 7th OA.

 

[Slangston]

Y'all ready for some Dylan Cozens lovin'?

 

[EichHart]

It's going to be Cozens or Caufield.

 

[jc17]

If it doesn't start with a C, and isnt 2 syllables botts isn't interested


One thing we haven't really talked about much is how much botts puts on his scouts and how much is his opinions

I think you have to scout them and trust your senses. I'd sign a woman goalie if I saw one I thought could challenge Hutton or Ullmark. I don't like using analytics as an exclusion tool. There's always going to be exceptions and the posters at HFBoards get paid the big bucks to find them.
