2014 NHL Draft Discussion

[tfriede2]

Isn't Jack Glover still available too (d-man)? He's another possibility.

Fabbri is a lot more skilled version of Sobotka, Point is a little bit more or decently more skilled version of Sobotka.

 

[Oberyn]

Donato would be a nice pick. I like Karlsson as well.

 

[Majorityof1]

LWOS specifically mentioned that they think he will play center in the NHL due to his distribution and vision.

Could be. But he has played wing his whole career. I am fine with him at whatever position he works best

Decent write up on Barbashev and why the Blues "might" take him.

Damn, Kings jumped in front of us and took McKeown. Hoping for Donato.

 

[Majorityof1]

2 picks before us. My list 1) Donato 2) KArlsson 3) McKeown

 

[bleedblue1223]

We'll get another solid forward.

 

[542365]

Maxim Letunov. Never heard of him I'll have to look up a scouting report.

 

[Majorityof1]

That will be a good pick up for LA unfortunately.

 

[JustOneB4IDie]

Barbashev doesn't play center. He is pretty strictly a LW. TSN mislabeled him.

This.

 

[Captain Creampuff]

****ing Kings

 

[tfriede2]

Whoa, that's interesting.

 

[Majorityof1]

Went Russian again with Maxim Letunov. Can make a whole Russian line with Frank and Barbashev.

 

[Oberyn]

Letunov, interesting. Never really heard of him but he's a centre so I'm down.

 

[bluesfan94]

Russian who'll be playing at Boston University. ***

 

[tfriede2]

Don't know much about Letunov at all...but, he's a 6'2 Russian center playing in the USHL...Blues must have done their homework.

 

[542365]

Could be. But he has played wing his whole career. I am fine with him at whatever position he works best

No, he played center for the 2nd half of the season.

 

[Caser]

Barbashev doesn't play center. He is pretty strictly a LW. TSN mislabeled him.

He does actually play both as center and winger, I saw him at center both at Moncton and at Russia U18 team

 

[SirPaste]

Letunov going to Boston University, interesting

 

[Jbcraig1883]

Damn, Blues have Fabbri, Barbashev, and Letunov...3 guys I targeted for the Wild. Well done!

 

[542365]

Damnit, Donato to Boston. I'll trust the Blues on this one, but I think Donato would've been a great pick for us.

 

[Majorityof1]

Maxim Letunov from the quick scouting report has good vision, hands and wrist shot. Protects puck with frame. Needs to get stronger and fix his skating. Seems a meh pick to me with other options available. But still a good draft.

 

[JustOneB4IDie]

Maxim Letunov. Never heard of him I'll have to look up a scouting report.

Hockey DB has him listed as a Forward, and committed to play at Boston U.

 

[Oberyn]

Looks like Letunov may not even have that Russian factor, he's committed to Boston University. Button says he has a lot of room to grow and fill out and he'll get to do that playing NCAA.
