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

[GoAwayPanarin]

The Rangers need to send Gordie Clark on vacation during the first day of the draft. I appreciate what he's done later in drafts but for 2nd time in 7 years he's orchestrated an unnecessary reach with a top 10 pick

I think its pretty wise not to speak on matters you know nothing about.

JMO.

Here we go Rangers are up

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

PB, tell me more about Igor Shyvrov

Centerman, speed, skill, playmaking. Defense isn't bad, obliterated the Russian minor leagues.

 

[Joey Bones]

Rangers select brandon crawley. Not sure how I feel on that....

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

I disagree. I would rather have a quarter than two dimes.

Doesn't make any sense. You're comparing something with exact value to something with potential value.

It's a fact. The % of these kids panning out is very low. Having 2 significantly increased your chances.

Pass on Reedy to take an overager D man. Love it.

Double overager, to boot. Not a fan of this one....

 

[Savant]

Rangers select brandon crawley. Not sure how I feel on that....

Overage D from London Knights. Lefty. Very underwhelming. Should have stayed put and drafted Reedy instead of moving the pick for magic beans and missing on better players in the process.

 

[Irishguy42]

Pronman has good things to say about Crawley, so that's a good omen.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Does seem like a standard NYR 4th Rounder.

I think you are part of a crew who thinks they're smarter than they actually are. JMO.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Don't they pick again soon?

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

There are a couple of big differences between the Andersson pick and the McIlrath pick:

1) There's no clearly better player who we passed up on a la Tarasenko (or Fowler).

2) Almost everyone agrees that Andersson is a shoo-in to play in the NHL. So he's not some project we're hoping to develop.

So, it's not like the pick is some awful tragedy waiting to happen like McIlrath was. It's only disappointing because we missed out on Pettersson/Glass immediately in front of him.

swing and miss

Stike out looking.

Having the better player increases your chances. They passed on Reedy for a double overage LHD with no offensive game. How does that increase chances of anything?

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

coaching news involving the rangers???

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

Ugh. Why are we taking double overagers in the 4th round?

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

would this kid even get picked in the draft? he was passed on twice for a reason

 

[Joey Bones]

Shvyrev and Elvenes selected right after....

 

[LeetchisGod]

Overage D from London Knights. Lefty. Very underwhelming. Should have stayed put and drafted Reedy instead of moving the pick for magic beans and missing on better players in the process.

I expect this kind of thing at this point.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Pass on Reedy, take the double overager

I think you are part of a crew who thinks they're smarter than they actually are. JMO.

Theres something about a pot and a kettle that fits here that I can't quite remember... I think the color black may or may not be involved

You've pulled this stunt after nearly ever draft and with almost every prospect/young player. At some point, I'd figure being dead wrong would be pretty tiring.

 

[Irishguy42]

coaching news involving the rangers???

Ruff replacing Beuke, who moves to scouting.

 

[Ghost of jas]

Well, it's not like this team is stocked with LD.

JMO.

Yeah, seconded.
