GDT: 2017 NHL Draft: The waiting is over! The NYR will pick in the first round! Part II

[ponytrekker]

One of these years i want the Rangers to acquire ****loads of draft picks. Multiple first and 2nd round picks. Meltdown after a meltdown. Some may not even make it.

UMmm. No. Trade for established players now on please.

 

[Machinehead]

Gorton trades Stepan and drafts two guys who can absolutely burn.

Pretty clear what his agenda is.

 

[NYR]

Surprised you don't like Shattenkirk.

Thought you were a big fan of plus/minus.

There's way too much minus to justify the plus

 

[Hunter Gathers]

A reach with a high floor who tops out as a middle-sixer.

Classic Rangers pick.

He very easily has very good #2C upside. Not just middle six upside.

 

[Chaels Arms]

Yamamoto has the chance to do crazy damage if he ever gets paired up with McDavid. Edmonton's firepower is nuts.

 

[TankLarkin]

Gorton ZIGS while all the other GMs ZAG.

 

[Filip Chytil]

He's also ultra-young. So his draft year totals are quite skewed. Also one of the biggest risers in the draft. It's an interesting, risky pick. Lots of potential, though.

Isn't Andersson one of the older guys in the class? Or am I thinking of someone else?

 

[Hunter Gathers]

We'd shed half the board in a 24-hour period.

Thin the herd.

 

[FJB]

I know nothing about any prospects, so I hope they know what they're doing. This team did not have a 1st rounder for a while, but Miller and Kreider turned out pretty well (maybe not in the post season).

Now that there's a good amount of cap space, are there any UFA forwards that will fill any voids?

I just want to see the world burn.

Sounds good to me

 

[Irishguy42]

Andersson and Chytil are going to be good players. But they're just a bit of a reach.

Overall, not amazing but not bad.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Isn't Andersson one of the older guys in the class? Or am I thinking of someone else?

He's on the older end with an October birthday. Not one of the oldest, though.

 

[Machinehead]

Not really.

When Shattenkirk was on the ice, it's like there was a forcefield around St. Louis' net.

The guy never gets scored on.

 

[RunTheJesperFast]

ITT: A bunch of draft experts, who gained their knowledge from second hand accounts and youtube compilation videos, outraged about their "guy" not being taken.

i can't imagine getting this upset over players they've never watched before

 

[TheBloodyNine]

These new jerseys are so ugly with that meshing up top

Good points there fella. Still lot's of team re-building needs to be done.

 

[Machinehead]

He very easily has very good #2C upside. Not just middle six upside.

#2C = second line = middle six

 

[Alluckks]

He very easily has very good #2C upside. Not just middle six upside.

Quick looks, but saw multiple scouting reports giving him high top 6 upside. Say he has a heavy wrist shot with a quick release. Supposedly amazing skater (fits our M/O). Battles and good hockey IQ. But, needs time to fill out. 1-2 years (likely 2).

Yes. He wants to get fired. So obvious!!!

 

[BKGooner]

Probably could get tolvanen or Kostin early in the second but do we have assets to get there?

 

[Kovalev27]

You have the 7th and 21st picks. You know u want centermen.

You draft two kids who even on their HIGH side don't project as first line centers.

Why?

 

[Igor Shestyorkin]

How in god honest truth do you know that?

I don't. I was joking.

 

[Filip Chytil]

Ah, thanks.

I'm optimistic about the two guys. More I read about them, the more I like what I see.
