[nyrleetch]

His favorite player is McDonagh...

 

[silverfish]

rejoice, odc, the Russian McIlrath

 

[RangerBoy]

Maybe he can teach english to Buchnevich

 

[Bluenote13]

One tough customer, really like this pick.

 

[Fitzy]

Rose from 197 to 103 from midterm.

Still a reach pick but when a player rises that fast it is a good sign. e

 

[SnowblindNYR]

rejoice, odc, the Russian McIlrath

Taken where McIlrath should have been taken.

 

[silverfish]

Taken where McIlrath should have been taken.

Well, McIlrath was the 17th ranked NA skater in 2010, and Zborovskiy is #103... so....

But yeah, I like re-writing history, too!

Little early, but you can't really tell unless you're on the floor.

Good kid with a nice frame and good skating ability. Just a steady customer in his own end who can throw the body and make a good outlet pass. Showed a bit more tendency to join the rush as the season went on. Could be a bit of a sleeper pick.

McIlrath was a riser (and I love Dylan)

So, is he a lefty or a righty? I've seen both reported.

Righty...

Yep. Dirty AF.

With the benefit of hindsight at least, my comment stands.

His WHL page has him as a righty. I trust that.

Of course it does. That's a rather large benefit, though.

McIlrath pick wasn't bad because he is a bad player. McIlrath pick was bad because in a top-10 pick we went for an organizational need instead of BPA.

You don't need hindsight to see that.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Couldn't they have gotten this guy much later in the draft?

I don't see any proof that he's not a bad player actually. Until proven otherwise he's a bust with a capital b. I think he'll be 80 years old and we'll be hearing about how he's improved in the nursing home. That **** does nothing for me.

Yeah, and he's holding his stick righty in the video, so...

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Horrible ****ing day. One guy I'm excited about and a MAJOR downgrade from Hags to Etem.

Didn't mean to imply that I think McIlrath is bad, because I do not. I think he's going to surprise some people this year.

 

[Raspewtin]

A worse skating Graves.

These ****ing idiots and their obsession with size. Jesus christ.

 

[offdacrossbar]

decent kid here.

moscow kid played for dynamo.

fits the mold for a nyr dman 6'3 200 lbs.

and hes already here so thats good.

dont know much about him other than he was a main guy for regina and plays with some snarl.
