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

[Vinny DeAngelo]

It's so ridiculous that Chekhovich is still not picked, he's easily a top 62 player in this draft, EASILY.

Well call slats and get it done!

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

It's so ridiculous that Chekhovich is still not picked, he's easily a top 62 player in this draft, EASILY.

Russian factor.

Teams still don't want to take Russian players.

I have 13 players left in my top 93, and 6 are Russian. Then these players will get signed in a few years as UDFA's, and everyone will wonder why they weren't drafted.

 

[Joey Bones]

Rangers up in 3 again.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Come on, Gordie. Go with a Russian at 174! Ivan Chekhovich or Sasha Chemlevski. Take a swing for the fences.

 

[NickyFotiu]

It's so ridiculous that Chekhovich is still not picked, he's easily a top 62 player in this draft, EASILY.

I have him ranked 71st on my board.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

second round in a row the rangers will pick during a commercial break....

 

[ManUtdTobbe]

Okey NYR, so get Chekhovich, Thilander, Khodorenko, Ã…hman, Minulin or Hugg here please.

 

[GregSirico]

Beck saying we should take at least one goalie in this draft. Then dropped this gem:



Can't make this up.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Greeley is still with the org.

He's rumored to be taking a job as an associate GM with Buffalo now

Not with the Rangers anymore either way

 

[Lime]

Here we go

 

[Raspewtin]

who is Moregan Barron

 

[Joey Bones]

Rangers select morgan barron. Not bad, better than Crawley.

 

[Irishguy42]

Morgan Barron

 

[Raspewtin]

A Canadian Highschooler? Really?

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

WHO? x3

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

When's the last time the Rangers drafted a Russian?

Zborovskiy?

 

[Joey Bones]

Barron will be with Cornell next season....

 

[Kovalev27]

Why start making good picks now? passes on the two skilled Russians.

This draft should get a giant F

 

[Raspewtin]

Seems like good value, I think?

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Why start making good picks now? passes on the two skilled Russians.

This draft should get a giant F

Not even close.

 

[Raspewtin]

Oh thank god, a potential Andreas Martinsen

as in, a potential terrible hockey player.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Why start making good picks now? passes on the two skilled Russians.

This draft should get a giant F

I'd give it a B+

 

[Tawnos]

Ah yes. Day two of the draft: where we have undeservedly strong opinions

 

[Irishguy42]

Seems like good value, I think?

At this point of the draft, it's all a wash until we see what his draft+1 and +2 years look like.

NHL Network just showed some highlights of Barron. Prototypical Power Forward. Dave Reid is high on him, but mentions he's a project pick.
