2017 NHL Draft Discussion

[KingsHockey24]

Our new Frolov!

I like the sound of that

 

[kovacro]

I will most definitely check out the Spurs again when they visit Hamilton this year. Great start to the draft. Let's see what we can grab tomorrow to help restock the prospect pool.

 

[deeshamrock]

Not sure why he played only 49 games, but a full season projection would be about 42 goals 28 assists, 90 pts.
ALMOST A FULL YEAR YOUNGER THAN PATRICK. 6'3" 201 LBS.
Does not turn 18 until August 16.

Knee injury at the start of the year and later an appendectomy

 

[Reclamation Project]

Let's hope that Taylor #11 mojo works again!

 

[raswilliam]

I think Brannstrom will be a good player. Nice pick Vegas.

If 2 of those 3 first round selections turn out to be NHL contributiors for them, then they can look back at this inaugural draft as a success.

Shocked Timothy Liljegren has dropped this far.

 

[SuperAlmeida]

So do we draft Goalie next? Would you take at Oettinger 41st if he falls?

Or maybe Kostin?

Very tempting, depends on what else is around.

 

[Reclamation Project]

Vegas is doing all the right things so far. Future looks real good.

 

[damacles1156]

Brann and Valimaki over Timothy Liljegren...Wow.

 

[WHOneedsSOX]

Vegas is doing all the right things so far. Future looks real good.

I'm sure they're not done this off-season yet either. Still going to make a few trades I'd bet.

 

[kingsboy11]

Hell of a pick by the Leafs. Eerily similar to Chychrun from last year.

 

[ru4reals]

I think Brannstrom will be a good player. Nice pick Vegas.

Was just gonna say Vegas from the looks of the Players they chose did great. Glass, Suzuki, and Bransstrom that's pretty dang good talent. But hope they all bust cuz they're in our division.

 

[damacles1156]

Great pick for Toronto.

 

[PJ Kings Hockey]

Shocked Timothy Liljegren has dropped this far.

Well, Liljegren goes to a team on the rise. Exciting to be with Toronto now that Matthews and crew announced their presence in the playoffs.

Boston takes Urho Vaakanainen (D)

 

[WHOneedsSOX]

Wow, what a name. Urho Vaakanainen.

 

[Bandit]

Why are we being forced to endure Craig Button?

 

[LAKings88]

Sharks will get a good player here.

 

[SFKingshomer]

I hate Craig Button

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

Shocked at the lack of trades

 

[Bandit]

I hate Craig Button

Everyone hates Craig Button, including Craig Button.

 

[PJ Kings Hockey]

Sharks take Josh Norris.

Shocked at the lack of trades

No one wants to give up the picks, it's how you build teams.

UFA is overrated, and expensive.
