2014 NHL Draft Discussion

[Vladys Gumption]

I really hope we nab Barbashev. I think he and Fabbri have the potential be another Frankenschwartz combo, and that would be absolutely sick.

I'll be really upset if we take MacInnis at 33. We got one good prospect, that doesn't mean our cupboards are stocked. We need more. We can't afford to reach for reason other than talent. That includes position. I'd rather go with McKeown if he is BPA. We can use him or another RHD for a trade piece. If a guy like MacInnis, Donato or Hawryluk is top on our board, then I'd prefer to trade down and grab an extra early 3rd rather than take him 10 spots before he is projected. I'm all in on Barbashev though. I'd package our 3rd and 33rd to grab him.

McKenzie has MacInnis ranked 34, so taking him at 33 wouldnt be a reach at all

Lemieux gone. C'mon Florida, don't spoil it!

 

[542365]

He's there!!!

 

[Majorityof1]

Sweet. Buffalo picks Lemieux. Fingers crossed that Florida messes up this pick.

 

[542365]

He's ours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy **** what a great start to this draft!

 

[Oberyn]

Awesome. Didn't know this would be available. Thank you

 

[KirkOut]

Yes!!!!

 

[Majorityof1]

Hell yes!!!!!!! We got him

 

[tfriede2]

Holy ****

 

[Caser]

Please don't pick Barbashev - he and Tarasenko on the same team will have enough leadership to make another Russian revolution and I'm not sure if St.Louis wants to experience that

And don't say that I didn't warn you

 

[JustOneB4IDie]

It's Ivan Barbashev with the pick obtained from the Oilers in the Perron deal. No St. Lou to Ryan MacInnis.

 

[tfriede2]

Guys, this couldn't have gone any better. Unbelievable.

 

[Vladys Gumption]

Ahhhhhhhhhhh. Yessssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God damn I'm so excited.

 

[PitchDoug]

We got him!!!!

 

[SirPaste]

YES! Fabbri and Barbashev, im absolutely thrilled

 

[jbron]

BAM,, huge pick at #33. Wanted him at #21. Barbashev is the real deal, great leader 2 way player.

 

[Bluesnatic27]

Jesus H. Christmas!! I've never been this ecstatic since 2010!!

Both Fabbri and Barbeshev!!!
