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

[G0bias]

Kotkaniemi with the SH omenat. Beauty play.

 

[ProspectsSTC]

The US's defence is atrocious

 

[Adam Michaels]

No one answered me earlier. But do the draft lists get updated again in May and then in June again? Have to think after this tournament, Kotkaniemi moves up.

 

[G0bias]

Hughes is ridiculous.

 

[WeThreeKings]

The more I see Mattias Samuelsson, the more I like his steady, reliable game on defense. He's decent at pretty much everything. Not great at anything mind you . Adam Samuelsson on the other hand is a complete ND for me, he can barely pivot without tripping over himself.

These guys either bust completely or just end up being a bottom pairing player. Keep in mind that this guy is bigger than most players in this age group, I think his ability to defend at the next level is lower becsuse he won't any longer have that advantage

 

[yianik]

Going to be real intense 6 minutes. See who steps up

 

[G0bias]

Have to say K'Antplay's having a good game. Had some good passing in all three zones.

 

[yianik]

Kotkaniemi needs to work on discipline. Not smart for a guy I think is smart.

 

[Whitesnake]

Kotkaniemi will be a great player. My top 10 looks better now than ever with him in it.

 

[ProspectsSTC]

Adam Samuelsson might actually be one of the worst players I've seen at this level

 

[WeThreeKings]

A Samuelsson does really suck and has no place on the PP at any level

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Yeah, Adam makes almost everybody else look like Bobby freaking Orr on defense. He can barely skate straight .

 

[G0bias]

Omg Wahlstrom. He doesn't miss those much.

 

[Seb]

How did Wahlstrom miss that

 

[sandviper]

Wahlstrom misses the open net. That’ll cost him 4 spots in the draft

 

[Whitesnake]

Wow...Walhstrom......

 

[Maitz]

Wahlstrom missed an empty net at 2 sec wow

 

[Habs Halifax]

I know we are stacked in goalie prospects but if O Rodrigue is available with our late 2nd, I would draft him. When he is age 23, Price is in year 6 of his 8 year contract. I’m high on him.. reminds me of Quick

 

[SquiddFX]

Wahlstrom misses an open net with seconds remaining. Unfortunate for the US.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Yeah, Adam makes almost everybody else look like Bobby freaking Orr on defense. He can barely skate straight .

I do?

 

[yianik]

Jesus Wahlstrom , holy cow. WTK , your boy just choked. Hate that kind of thing though.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Wahlstrom confirmed bust.

 

[SquiddFX]

Tkachuk would have scared the puck into the net.

 

[GREMLIN]

Now that the U18 is done, I’d be really afraid to trade down outside the top 5 if Kotkaniemi is my guy.

I could see him go as early as #6 with Detroit.

 

[WeThreeKings]

From what I can tell happened there.. Hughes fanned a bit on the pass and Wahlstrom was ready for a tip in and had to adjust to try to hook it in and didn't put the right touch on it.
