Damn this guy still plays hockey

 

[failure]

Whoa, we dead.

 

[Go Wings]

Probably one of the only guys out there that could go toe to toe with Wilson in fight.

 

[miscs75]

Rangers legend Dylan McIlrath…

 

[Kendo]

LOL

But seriously, good for him! Way to stick around!

 

[SML2]

Boy the hype train really set the bar too high for that kid. I remember his first fight was against Brian McGrattan and he did pretty well, but he's not even really that impressive a fighter really.

 

[ICanMotteBelieveIt]

Rangers legend Dylan McIlrath…

Lol, I still remember sitting up at like 3-4 am watching the draft. I was hoping for Tarasenko or Fowler, we picked McIlrath at 10th overall.

Our headscout compared his game to a young Shea Weber

 

[ICanMotteBelieveIt]

Washington bulks up. Wilson and McIlrath will destroy the Rangers, lmao...

 

[Lays]

Rangers legend Dylan McIlrath…

Top 10 pick Dylan McIlrath

 

[miscs75]

Top 10 pick Dylan McIlrath

He can be found alongside other legendary guys like Hugh Jessiman and Stu Bickel.

Atleast you didn’t draft Griffin Reinhart. Well that guy tuned into Barzal so Atleast he was good for something.

 

[Lua]

Has he learned how to skate yet?

Someone send him the Kevin Lowe video

 

[Super Hans]

He's had a better career than Hugh Jessiman. That's about all I can say good about him.

He'd easily be top 10 on todays nhl. Pretty solid fighter still

You have to think it's just for Hershey.

 

[jay from jersey]

Had such high hopes for him when drafted. It didn’t help that his knee exploded the first year, but his skating was never up to par, and he never ever developed any kind of offense/ passing to his game

 

[AllAlphas]

Odds that both he and Wilson are on the ice for the season opening faceoff at the Capital One arena against the Rangers?
Odds that he then spends the rest of the season down in Hershey?
"October 13th boys and girls...it's gonna be WAR!!!"

When he was drafted the only Shea Weber was a young Shea Weber.

 

[ICanMotteBelieveIt]

When he was drafted the only Shea Weber was a young Shea Weber.

They were comparing his junior stats and they drew parallels to Weber's junior stats.

 

[Hivemind]

He’s probably about 6th or 7th on the depth chart for the left side of Washington’s defense alone. This is a signing for Hershey, and the fact that it was buried in the tweet with all the other Hershey signings shows that.

Hunter Shepard is the most interesting name in the list in terms of NHL potential as a late bloomer. He had a very nice first pro season last year. He could work his way up Hershey’s depth chart. Granted, he’s already 25, so not exactly sky high expectations.

 

[Recipe Unlimited]

Do we still think McIlrath is better than Fowler?

 

[TGWL]

Now they can beat us up(NYR) with our own drafted player...

 

[nyr2k2]

Good for The Undertaker. Hope he gets some games in.

 

[TheNumber4]

Lol. So deal with the Tom Wilson problem and you still have a McIlrath problem?
