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

[Lime]

Do you think they got a good look at Villardi while checking on Day?

 

[QJL]

If Cale Makar is there, I want us to draft him regardless of need. He's my #2 on the board behind Hischier.

My rankings:

Nico Hischier
Cale Makar
Nolan Patrick
Elias Pettersson
Casey Mittelstadt
Miro Heiskanen
Nick Suzuki
Cody Glass

Anything lower than that I won't be happy with at 7OA.

 

[GOAT AINEC]

No Cody Glass please. He is probably Tanners long lost brother.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Almost every year people say "this is a terrible draft".

Every year! lol. As players get closer to getting drafted people start looking more realistically at guys.

 

[Edge]

Isnt this the same front office that had Gropp as a first round talent?

Gropp has improved his game every single year in juniors, as well as his goal and point totals.

Don't know why this board picks this argument all the time.

Makar is going 1... We have no shot at him

Smoke screen.

Hes gone by 4 though.

I just wasnt a fan of the pick and how it was sold to me by the organization and people on here at the time.

I'm not saying its the worst thing ever or anything.

Im buying into the smoke screen then!

 

[Edge]

Suzuki is exactly the type of player who is suited to today's NHL.

As opposed to ten years, he's in no way a stretch for number 7. The kid's skills are for real.

 

[Leetch3]

Maybe I'm wishcasting, but when you've signed Pionk, traded for DeAngelo, and traded Stepan, I don't see Makar being the target.

I think we go center but the dmen we added aren't exactly top pair guys that would make pass on a top guy

 

[Edge]

He's a solid support guy who has scored more than 100 goals over the last three years.

 

[Machinehead]

Glass is definitely my pick and then Mittelstadt.

I could be sold on Pettersson.

Pls don't waste this on a D.

 

[JohnC]

Having one 1st had me pooping my pants. 2 is crazy. If we trade up from 7 I'm not even sure what my bowels are gonna do.

tmi.

 

[Baby Punisher]

Jinx post.

Gorton trading first round pick confirmed.

To the Devils for Kovy.

 

[Mac n Gs]

I mean they're in pretty good hands picking any of Petersson, Glass, Suzuki, or Middlestadt.

 

[Joey Bones]

Oshie just signed a huge contract to stay in Washington!!!

 

[Mac n Gs]

I want one of those centers and then either Brannstrom/Foote/Valimaki at 21, or move back from 21 and take Norris or Rob Thomas.

 

[Ghost of jas]

Vilardi may not be a center at the NHL level.

 

[QJL]

Vilardi may not be a center at the NHL level.

I think it's more likely he is than Mittelstadt or Pettersson

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Does this guy have any sources?

 

[ManUtdTobbe]

Don't want Mittelstadt at all, under 0.40 5v5 P/GP in USHL, that's awful, almost Rasmussen territory... Small sample but still bad...

Pettersson >>> Mittelstadt.

If Pettersson is gone then i'm fine with either of Glass, Vilardi, Suzuki or Liljegren.

 

[Ghost of jas]

I think it's more likely he is than Mittelstadt or Pettersson

That's contrary to what I'm hearing on NHL radio.

 

[Ail]

tmi.

No that's IBS, Jerald.
