2016 NHL Draft

[King'sPawn]

I read an article on him recently. I was excited about the possibility of him.

Not a bad pick. A little surprised they didn't take the Swedish goalie.

Agree, or one of the other top 2 or 3 goaltenders on the board. The value seems fine, most had Clague on the edge of the 1st round.

As 2 more goaltenders go 54 and 55.

His scouting reports and attributes do remind me of the things that were said about Hickey. He was projected as a late 1st, so the Kings probably are quite pleased to have Clague drop to them without having to move up.

FWIW....Dallas has the 90th pick.

 

[King'sPawn]

You mean like Drouin?

And Anthony DeAngelo.

While I hate quoting myself... case in point about DeAngelo being traded for another pick just a couple years after he was drafted. He was originally drafted at #19, and he was traded for the 37th.

 

[LAKings88]

Dallas also has some d prospects that might be available.

 

[LAKings88]

Once again, for all the talk of movement, it's been a realatively boring draft.

 

[LAKings88]

Luke Green to Winnipeg.

 

[LAKings88]

Sean Day to Rangers

I like the Clague pick, but I expected more wheeling and dealing

I remembered your post as soon as I saw the trade.

MOAR DEFENSE!


Don't know why Tampa would trade Deangelo…he's a very good prospect.

It's not an issue of talent. But he has faced discipline by coaches multiple times (and it was even before he was drafted), and one of those incidents involves harassing a teammate.

Granted, this is when he was younger, but trading him away two years later for a 2nd rounder when he was drafted in the first suggests there's some problem still.

Sean Day to Rangers

There's a pick I think would do well.

 

[PJ Kings Hockey]

Now we have a center. Michael Eyssimont from Littleton, Colorado.

ETA: Ha ha, St. Cloud, minor league affiliate.

 

[Basilisk]

King and Clifford are still with us? Should I celebrate or cry?

Unfortunately, this is the time of year picks are worth more than players. Not surprised

Cry. Unless hell freezes over and they sign Kyle Okposo or something, King will be seeing plenty of top 6 time.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Was praying for Cam Dineen, pissed that he's a Coyote. But Kale Clague falling all the way to us was unexpected, pretty darn happy with that pick.

And the Blackhawks getting Debrincat..wow

 

[PJ Kings Hockey]

The Coyotes are going to be fun to watch with all their young talent. Too bad the rookie games are in Arizona this year.

“I like the physical play and some teams don't like that. Not a lot of guys will like being hit so sometimes, if it's the right guy, who knows what will happen?”

The six-foot-two, 185-pound Bowmanville native's physical play is something coach Ryan McGill wants to see.

“He's shown that he can add a physical element to his game which is huge because you want to have that reputation to gain yourself some space,” McGill said.

“He can skate and he's got a big, lanky range to him with his stick defending-wise. We're going to try and round him out to be an all-round player so he can play on the penalty kill and he can play on the power play. He's got lots of skill and he just has to develop consistency like every other defenceman playing anywhere.”
