2015 NHL Draft Thread IV (6/26-7PM, 6/27-10AM)

[ClevelandJacketFan]

I've lost track. Besides Kylington any other big names still out there? Did Roy get picked? I saw one Roy go but I thought he was the C one.

Wouldn't say any huge names, no.

Roy got picked by SJS.

Pilon, Dergachyov, Novak

[WannabeFinn]

#CBJ head back to the WHL, drafted Keegan Kolesar from Seattle.

 

[EspenK]

Keegan moved from 94- to 65 in final CSS rankings. A RW. Who knows? Sore Loser?

[WannabeFinn]

He's gonna be a bottom 6 pest if he ever makes the NHL it sounds like.

 

[DJA]

Bruiser!

Happy with Bittner, but am honestly shocked that we haven't traded any of our picks in a package for D.

The CBJ draft mantra must be "go big or go home."

 

[WannabeFinn]

Yeah, go big in size or go home

 

[WannabeFinn]

now we don't pick til 5th round, where we have 2 choices

You must be talking about size, because it sure as hell isn't about making a splash. Disappointing.

 

[DJA]

I loved the Bittner pick, all of the rest are lacking in imagination. Not enamored with these selections.

Yeah, Bittner at 38 really is disappointing..

 

[NotWendell]

I'm entirely talking about size, yes.
That said, I'm not one bit disappointed. I give us a solid B so far.

 

[Fro]

solid draft...rounding out taking a bit of everything...now a goalie in the 5th and i'm good calling it a day...

 

[Kev22]

Your talking about prospects, I'm disappointed because there has been nothing done on the trade front to help the big club. People are getting excited about a bunch of maybes, I don't. It's about wins on the ice for me. I just don't get all excited about the draft like some of you do. There's too many good NHL roster players available for us to have stood pat.

Spare me the two to tango trade stuff. I know that, but every once in a while your GM has to be a little aggressive and make something happen. Prospects are fine, but when is enough...enough.

 

[WannabeFinn]

Arizona nabs Jens Looke in addition to Strome, Merkley, Fischer..

quite the day for them

It's not like we pissed away our assets. We still possess the pieces needed to make a trade. Still 3 and a half months left in this offseason
