2016 NHL Entry Draft Discussion

[John Agar]

I really like Logan Stanley or Kale Clague for our 2nd rounder if they are available.

What's Logan Stanley like as a defensive player ?

Haven't seen much of him. Lowry like...

 

[John Agar]

It's amazing how genetics makes for so many similarities in offspring...

Ty Ronning plays, looks, so much like Cliffy Pops...

I've watched a couple games. He's physical, stands up for his team mates, good with his stick and is a fluid skater, good hands for a big guy too.
Imagine a combination of Buff and Myers. Not sure if he will ever be as good but he has the tools IMO it's just a matter of putting it all together at the NHL level.

 

[Winnipeg Jets]

I only watched the second period but Simon Stransky stood out to me, seems to have skill and speed.

 

[Daximus]

I'd really like it if the Jets took Sawchenko in the later rounds. Probably the best netminder the Warriors have had in the last few decades.

Not really the prototype for goalies these days...

Comrie would be similar to him as a goalie at that age for sure...

Later rounds...yes...

 

[Daximus]

Day even looks good. We could easily load up on Left Handed defencemen in this draft and I wouldn't even be mad.

I'd like it if he lasted past the 2nd but I doubt it. He's got a tonne of potential even for his size. It would be nice to have another young tender in the system. Can never have enough IMO.

So true...

By the way as a season ticket holder of the Moose...

Comrie is real good...

Like Day as well...

Everyone gets all tied up at what he could be... potential... disappointed could be more... machination on and on...

He could slip down the board and be a very good 2nd pairing defenseman to complement a offensive minded defenseman in the NHL...

Also, could probably elevate game as necessary.

We'll see next year a WJC as he will make the team.

That WJC team will be absolutely loaded on defence. Chych, Day, Bean, Clague, Stanley, Green, Girard, Johansen.
Might be one of the best defence pools they've ever had to choose from.

Also I want Sergachev.

I'm stoked on Comrie. Him and Helle are the future tandem pair of this franchise.

 

[Jetabre]

Dubois has been awesome tonight. Same with Laberge.

It's so hard to judge those guys in the Q. That's why I love this game. You can have a good look at them against their peers.

On the general thread on this game asked about Laberge... never seen him...

2nd pick in Q' draft dogged by injuries...

Hmmmmmm.....

 

[Daximus]

Take Dubios in the top 10 and Laberge in the 2nd round. Those two work well together.

Grab a D with our late first from Ladd. Good to go.

This game has been very competitive and legit over the last number of years...

Fun to watch in general

Honestly it's probably the best thing Cherry has ever contributed to this sport

If we send him to the right team, might not be that late of a pick! Vancouver and Montreal should both be pretty desperate to get in. What if we deal him over there and it's not enough to put them over the edge? Who would you take with the 14th pick?

If we're picking top 5, I want Laine or Tkachuk. 6-10 Juolevi or Dubois. After that, I dunno.

Day would be an ok pick with a 2nd rounder, I think.

I'm thinking Day won't make it past 18...

2nd and to us... the Jets... would be great though...

Elite Prospects - Sean Day

He's not listed top 30 by any of the major scouting services or prospects websites. I'd guessing we're picking somewhere around 35 with our 2nd round pick. I wouldn't be totally shocked if he was already gone, but I think it's more likely he'll still be there. Guess we'll find out in 5 months or so!

 

[untouchable21]

Still liking what I see from Michael McLeod. Another kid with speed to burn and a good set of hands.

PLD impressed me as well. Outside of the top 4 forwards, I'd be thrilled with one of these guys.

 

[Huffer]

I am...

After the 1st period.... players that would look good in a Jet uniform ?

- McLeod... wheels, vision, aggressive...
- Churchyn... man-child, easy stride, physical, maybe not a top end O' talent...
- Tkachuk... hockey sense, goes to dirty areas, uses his teammates always...
- Dubois... strong, aggressive, goes to net, can move and handle puck...
- Sergachev... Provorov like, uncanny resemblance in the way he plays, skates,
and controls the puck

Would be very happy with any of these players...

Agreed. It's only one game obviously, but I really liked Dubois. I'm wondering if I would take him over Tkachuk honestly.

 

[veganhunter]

I really hope someone put the game on youtube or something as I wasn't able to watch it last night. Glad to hear Dubois had a good game he seemed a little underrated earlier in the year.
