GDT: 2020 NHL Draft - Day 2 - October 7th - 11:30am ET

[Appleyard]

I like your ratings because it makes it seem that we got two first round picks!

I think they did tbh!

Albeit I think Gunler was a top 15 guy.

 

[Chinatown88]

Hey it's a guy I took last year. Space time continuum is borked.

 

[Rebels57]

Catching up on the last few hours of this thread has been very ....interesting.

 

[Striiker]

I hope it’s just a coincidence that this guy and Foerster are “snipers” and they’re not actively trying to draft for a need that isn’t really a need.

Looking at forwards only who had at least "somewhat" of an NHL impact and, going back to 2010 because I really don't care enough to look past the last 10 or so years.

2010: Nobody
2011: Couturier, Cousins
2012: Laughton
2013: Nobody
2014: Lindblom, NAK
2015: Konecny, "potentially" Kase - unlikely Vorobyev

Currently I'd say unknowns with potential are Rubstov, Laczynski, Allison, Bunn, perhaps Rat and Cates. Brink/Frost/Farabee in skilled category of that group.

I'm just not sure where the hype for the Flyers scouts comes from I suppose. Maybe some of the kids mentioned above prove me wrong but I'm not super impressed. Meh, maybe just me.

It is an interesting time with the Flyers that they can recognize better talent in defensemen and goaltenders than they can with forwards. It’s like the bizarro Clarke years. But it almost seems rare league-wide for a scouting department to be great all around. Nashville has long struck out at forward but has done well with defense. Tampa does great with forwards but it’s awful when it comes to defensemen.

I think the Flyers have built good depth with forwards. There might not be the superstars in there but depth is a great asset a savvy GM could use.

Luke Prokop?! Nashville isn't good at this.

Got him at 200 in our mock.

Carolina took Pashin. C'mon.

 

[Striiker]

I don't know if this is a lie or if their evaluation tactics are f***ed.

 

[Stizzle]

Carolina takes Pashin.

Shocking.

 

[pit]

Is it a bigger surprise that a player like Ronan Seeley is still on the board or that a name like Hugo Styf is still on the board?

 

[Stizzle]

I don't know if this is a lie or if their evaluation tactics are f***ed.

Google "Minnesota Wild draft history" and find out for yourself.

If Frost really hits and Patrick gets some form of health back to even be a 3C I’ll feel a lot better.

Im not just as enthused by that scouting department as anything that’s beyond average. Maybe if I care enough one time I’ll check out how many picks for other clubs tend to really hit on average when they pick past #15. Don’t think I have the drive but who knows.

Same laptop and chair as Flahr.

“Okay guys. Look smart”

I've been wondering...

But what if they hit on a majority of these picks. Would it be luck, or would some have to reassess their approach to evaluating prospects?

Based on their NHL player evaluation, I'm heavily leaning towards luck.

Or it could be that it really was the scouts doing the work and those two clowns weren't even really involved.

 

[Appleyard]

I am going to form a tinfoil hat for myself...

Carolina and Toronto should be paying for this shit.

 

[Rebels57]

Nashville just took GUNNARWOLFE FONTAINE

Lucky bastards.

 

[FlyerNutter]

I do have to give one real positive. I was very impressed by Fletcher’s hair yesterday. Compared to when he was first taken off the colony and hired.

Honestly, if I were following a theme, I should've paired this one with "DISCIPLINE":

But really, I just thought those two parts of the image screamed at me, so I had to share them together. He looks like a little boy in that chair. And DISCIPLINE!

 

[FLYguy3911]

Solovyov got drafted?!

 

[Magua]

Kienan Draper to Detroit.

Hockey gonna hockey.

We took Nick Luuko 1 pick after Mark Stone in the 2010 6th round.
