GDT: 2016 NHL Draft

[Carolinas Identity*]

not sure how I feel....

 

[A Star is Burns]

Players at this point take two or three years most likely. Lots of things can happen in two or three years.

 

[DaveG]

Does **** mean "Bean"?

It means we need scoring.... still

 

[HisIceness]

So who is he comparable too?

 

[Ole Gil]

Makes sense if they plan to use Dmen as currency. Never looked at the d though, because I assumed it was irrelevant. Hope he's good at hockey?

 

[GoldiFox]

Didn't expect a LD (outside of Chychrun) but it's a fine pick. Late risers often pay off.

 

[go comets]

Really wish they had taken a forward or slid down a few notches

 

[Oogie Boogie]

No complaints here.

 

[2 12 oz Drinks]

No, he's a good player. Nobody it's debating that, it's just a really perplexing decision.

I'm not blown away, I'll admit but I think he'll do fine. It makes me think that one of our defenseman (Murph) is on the move for a forward

 

[Roman Yoshi]

Dont they have enough left handed D men? And D men in general

 

[DaleCooper]

Every year everyone on here collectively agrees on a couple of players to covet then implodes when we don't pick them.

 

[Bunch of Jurcos]

We picked another Dman? What in the wild wild world of sports is a goin on here?

 

[Brock Anton]

Didn't expect a LD but it's a fine pick. Late risers often pay off.

I think he can play on the right, but I'm not certain on that.

 

[DaveG]

Makes sense if they plan to use Dmen as currency. Never looked at the d though, because I assumed it was irrelevant. Hope he's good at hockey?

He is but this still makes zero sense for us

 

[Lucky Lindy]

Bob had him at 12, so it's not like he went off the board.

 

[Novacane]

I'm fine as long as they don't plan on icing Slavin Pesce Faulk Hanifin Bean and Fleury in a few years. Someone's talents are going to be wasted.

 

[Roboturner913]

Boston will go D, Minny wants a center. in the unlikely possiblity that Bellows falls to 21 we'll surely take him there but.....

 

[cptjeff]

I'm not blown away, I'll admit but I think he'll do fine. It makes me think that one of our defenseman (Murph) is on the move for a forward

Can Murphy really bring anything but a mid round pick at this point?

 

[geehaad]

This is what happens when you change the name of my gdt.

We're doomed.

These response remind me of when we drafted Skinner.

No, this is a MUCH more measured response.

and disappointing, for pure spectator sport...

 

[tarheelhockey]

It says a lot about my faith in Francis that I'm merely skeptical, not angry.

 

[TheOllieC]

#rumer this is because Francis already has a D for RNH, Eberle or other forward trade worked out.

 

[Brock Anton]

Is this guy about to puke or something?

 

[KGL]

Haha Boston passed on Chychrun, knew they wouldn't take the obvious pick.

 

[2 12 oz Drinks]

Can Murphy really bring anything but a mid round pick at this point?

Whoops, meant to say as part of a package

 

[Joe McGrath]

I mean he scored 24 goals on D and is almost a 2017 draft eligible. That's pretty good, no?
