[Johnny GODreau]

Philly drafted Ondrej Kase's brother.

 

[Johnny GODreau]

Pilon still available?

Yep as of the 128th pick.

Waking up to see we had snagged Andersson and Kylington brought a smile to my face. What an awesome draft this has been.

 

[Taranis]

Bob Hartley is about to be on TSN1050.

 

[DFF]

Love the Curtis Glencross deal. Basically allows the Flames to upgrade to Hamilton and Kylington

Considering the Flames made it to the 2nd round without Glencross, they are free upgrades

 

[Taranis]

Pavel Karnaukhov. Hmm a big left winger eh.

 

[SaintMorose]

Not sure I love this pick (well compared to the first 3 players we picked up) but at least I'll get to see him this year to make a better judgement.

 

[Johnny GODreau]

Picked up a Hitmen. Sweet.

 

[Lunatik]

dammit, another Russian

It's okay, ill let you have first dibs on him for your avatar.

 

[Sean Monahan]

20 goals as a rookie import on a deep Hitmen team... I think this can be good

 

[StreakingRed]

Pavel Karnaukhov. Hmm a big left winger eh.

Loving that pick. Treliving is killin' it at this draft.

 

[Johnny GODreau]

Do we go after Draude as well?

 

[WhereIsIt]

dammit, another Russian

Belorussian!

 

[Ace Rimmer]

dammit, another Russian

He's from Belarus, so not really.

why I oughta....

Belorussian!

[Taranis]

Good sign that hes playing in the CHL.

I think the good sign is that he plays in Calgary for a team the Flames own, so we would have more insight into his character than we would other Russian players.

 

[Lunatik]

Pilon went 147th overall to the Islanders. Maybe I'm not the only one questioning his character?

 

[Taranis]

Calgary up in 13 picks.

Calgary up in 13 picks.

11 picks

Are you implying Russians have character problems?


Maybe I'm just reading too much in to this post.

There is probably something to that idea, given how far he fell.

Implying? No, not all all.

I am outright saying it. You see a higher percentage of Russian players with entitlement issues than any other nationality. I think much of it is the fact back home they are treated differently by the government for simply being hockey players.

Well.. I thought his name was pronounced pylon. So logically one does not draft a "pylon" in the 2nd round.
