[Mickey Marner]

f*** this lady asks dumb questions.

 

[Stephen]

I have a feeling we take 5'10" Firkus

Me too. But you'd be hoping that pans out like a Giroux pick soonish.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Pittsburgh Penguins pick 'Pickles' Pickering... say that 5 times real fast

Prime piece to post points in the playoffs

Should they take BPA?

Or go off the board with someone no one has heard about?

 

[Maplebeasts]

Damn Yurov, Lambert and Trizikov really still available. This draft couldn't of gone any better for us.

Now watch them all go with the next 3 picks lol

Then you take Firkus or Howard and still end up with a better prospect than a lot of guys off the board already.

 

[Isaac Nootin]

Night ruined. See ya.

Looking forward to seeing which manlet we picked tomorrow morning.

Please don't come back tomorrow, thanks.

 

[mydnyte]

is Chesley the best D not gone?

 

[chamchibap]

Please Yurov would be a dream

 

[Nylanderthal]

Hutson

Trade back, take Hutson & firkus.. watch heads explode

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Think there are a couple other home run type picks like a Yurov and Firkus floating around...

Exactly why trading down is likely a good idea. None of them really stand out more than the others unless you really believe in one over the others (and right now, I am not sure I personally do).

 

[Morgs]

LOL I am the opposite. Not impressed by Pickering nearly as much. Very raw in many regards, and the only thing that really stands out about him is his size and his skating. He is not overly physical and uses his reach more, but his iffy reads negate a lot of his strengths.

He really struggled at the WJC. Most guys on Canada not named Bedard did, but for a guy with as much hype as he did, you would think he could challenge for top defenseman despite that.

I mean I had him 37 to Bischel at 40. I like Pickering's translatability better.

He posseses actually great 4 way skating, plus puck skills, and has legit offensive upside. The IQ is questionable, the consistency is iffy at best, but there's an actual 200 foot player there. He just needs to figure it out and improve what he already has.

 

[Knies iT]

Snuggerud still kicking around.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

At 25....don't you at least think about taking a home run swing hoping playing with AM, MM and JT could just be the motivation he needs?

I might be more inclined to make the safer pick at no. 25 if everything is about equal context wise. We already have the star pieces what we lack is bottom 6 depth and goaltending. We need some guys that we can slot into our 3rd line that are actually good, not a revolving door of useless.

I'd rather use whatever later picks we have to swing for the fences.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Kulich for Anaheim?

edit: nope

 

[Kurtz]

Dubas likes to trade back in this spot, I bet that happens again.

 

[TheRumble]

Y'all more obsessed with height than women on Tinder.

6'0+ - Want to have babies him

5'11 and under - Is he even a real man?

 

[Nylanderthal]

Yegor kroshkov turned out great. Not like this team couldn’t use a debrincat or Hart type to supplement the group.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

is Chesley the best D not gone?

Luneau is up there as well as a top 25 type guy as well, but Chesley and Luneau are neck and neck.

 

[stickty111]

Well thats upsetting to see Ohgren picked at 19. Yurov is now my BPA

 

[TimeZone]

There goes a guy I definitely didn't want.

 

[TheDoldrums]

hey no one here was saying his name so thats good

I said this last year and was called homophobic lol

 

[Mickey Marner]

Looks like Eichel

Firkus won't be the best player available.

 

[TheDoldrums]

when "reliable" is the first quality of your 1st rounder you may have made a bad pick
