2014 NHL Draft Discussion

[Captain Creampuff]

There are too many players left for Armstrong to make an idiot move.

 

[tfriede2]

Milano still available too...although I don't necessarily want him. Sanheim could also be taken before we pick.

 

[bleedblue1223]

For the love of God, can some team pick MacInnis so I don't have to worry about Armstrong being an idiot.

We'll take him at 33.

 

[Oberyn]

Tuch, please.

 

[Majorityof1]

CBJ going with Kapanen. Let's see if I can get one right.

Good try. Kapanen is the best on the board, so good guess.

 

[Oberyn]

We'll take him at 33.

Yeah, I don't know what I was thinking, there are still some RHD available.

 

[Blanick]

Jarmo doesn't go off board? Color me surprised.

 

[bleedblue1223]

Could Kapanen fall?

 

[Lord Helix]

Changing of the guard time...From Timonen to Kapanen.

 

[Majorityof1]

Kapanen has fallen. If he falls to us, I'd be happy with a non center.

 

[tfriede2]

Alright, starting to get interesting now fellas. Barbashev, Scherbak, Kempe, McCann, Fabbri, Tuch. Two of those players will be available when we pick.

 

[KirkOut]

I could see PHI taking Sanheim or McKeown

 

[tfriede2]

I think we're going to see the Blues trade the 33rd and 52nd to move back into the 1st.

 

[Oberyn]

Kempe seems like another Paajarvi. I don't want another Paajarvi.

 

[Majorityof1]

1) Kapanen 2) McCann 3) Tuch 4) Barbashev 5) Kempe.

I want the one that is best of those and still available.

 

[Jzk]

Kempe seems like another Paajarvi. I don't want another Paajarvi.

I know nothing of him. Is he just an amazing athlete or what?

 

[Captain Creampuff]

Yeah I'll pass on Kempe

 

[tfriede2]

Kempe seems like another Paajarvi. I don't want
another Paajarvi.

What? Kempe has been described as a "bull in a china shop" - that is the opposite of Paajarvi.

 

[542365]

So glad the Blues aren't able to pick Sanheim. He's so raw. Will probably be good eventually, but there's significant risk there.

 

[Lucifer T Longfellow]

What about Fabbri?

 

[Oberyn]

I know nothing of him. Is he just an amazing athlete or what?

Not the most skilled, but good physical attributes. We desperately need skill.

 

[Majorityof1]

Now that Philly took Sanheim, I'll pass on Kempe as well. Kapanen, McCann, Tuch or Barbashev. I am ecstatic with any of those.

Oh, forgot about Fabbri. he's be great too.

 

[Lord Helix]

Kempe seems like another Paajarvi. I don't want another Paajarvi.

I can see that comparison. He doesn't scream hockey IQ and patience like some of the players I want. Scherbak and Barbashev do.

 

[Oberyn]

What? Kempe has been described as a "bull in a china shop" - that is the opposite of Paajarvi.

I meant more in the lines of him being less skilled, but having gifted physical attributes.

 

[tfriede2]

Barbashev, Scherbak, Tuch, McCann, Kapanen, Fabbri, Kempe all available. 3 more teams to pick.
