2018 NHL Entry Draft Thread (Less then 24 Hours Edition)

[Andrei79]

We really need to suck next year.

 

[Habs76]

A 5'7" dman (Klejna) leveled Hughes there

 

[The Great Weal]

We really need to suck next year.

And the year after. Lafreniere, Hughes and Dahlin.

 

[Andrei79]

Farabee embarassing the Czechs lol. Great move, he's had a great period.

 

[Habs76]

Jan Jenik looks like one helluva player too.

I really think they should blow it up for next year and suck, then look to "start" to compete in 2019-2020. Next year is a throwaway year, there's no big prospect coming up for the Habs, so there's no point in going in with a win mentality. Once the Habs have 2017/2018/2019 in the books and prospects starting to come into their pro play, that's when they need to open the window.

 

[Treb]

Apparently Kotkaniemi is a consensus top5 pick...

 

[Janne Niinimaa]

Tkachuk, Bouchard and Hayton... but no Boqvist.

 

[Habs76]

Apparently Kotkaniemi is a consensus top5 pick...

Hayton at 7 is the bigger abomination of a ranking

 

[ProspectsFanatic]

Surprised he didn't say consensus top7 with his surefire top centerman Hayton included.

Pretty much. I feel this is 2009 all over again, we shouldn't miss this opportunity to rebuild the team.

This year is a good time to add a top 15 pick and next year looks stacked in the first already. It's the perfect time to trade some of the vets.

 

[Andrei79]

I'm liking Kotkaniemi in the top 5. Not sure if I'm putting him there yet, but I'm thinking about it.

Hayton though, wtf...

 

[NotProkofievian]

Wahlstrom making it look easy.

 

[ProspectsFanatic]

Did Killinen even played a shift for Finland today? Wanted to have a viewing of him. Also disappointed not having a better look at Boqvist.

 

[The Great Weal]

Looks like we will need a another top 10 pick if we want Kotkaniemi

 

[Janne Niinimaa]

I have no shame in admitting that seeing more of these euro guys (Boqvist, Kotkaniemi, Berggren), has changed my rankings quite a bit.

 

[ProspectsFanatic]

Kupari lost the puck nearly every time he tried something...

Lenni has sucked all tournament.

 

[Habs76]

Wise is pretty much Farabee but worse.

 

[Habs76]

Dostal, wow

 

[ProspectsFanatic]

Lenni has sucked all tournament.

Yeah wanted to know the extend of his suckage.

 

[Andrei79]

Wise is pretty much Farabee but worse.

Yeah, he's my disapointment for the US. I was expecting a lot more from him since I've liked him all year. Wilde too.

 

[Habs76]

So tough to judge top Czech players like Lauko and Jenik when their team can't get the puck.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Dostal is actually really impressing me.

 

[Habs76]

ZABRANSKY!!!
