NHL Entry Draft 2022 NHL Draft Thread - Part 2

[Cosmix]

Wouldn't be surprised if we don't pick with our own 1st rounder. Dorion's job on the line = he's going to go all out.

I hope not. His trades for old vets have not helped the team much.

 

[Big Muddy]

Still 5"10 154 pounds. Seriously needs to put on weight.

Same thing was said about Karlsson when he was drafted.

 

[NHL Dude 120]

Same thing was said about Karlsson when he was drafted.

Talented players but surprised he's ranked soo low.

 

[Mingus Dew]

Same thing was said about Karlsson when he was drafted.

Was Karlsson that light? 154 is rail thin.

 

[NHL Dude 120]

Was Karlsson that light? 154 is rail thin.

He was about 157 pounds at the draft.

So Howard with 4 goals today. I forgot this game was on and got busy doing other crap.
Any wrap ups?

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Another smaller player putting up the points.

I bet Howard moves up the draft rankings after this game.

Honestly, when you look at the odds, it really isn't that big of a difference if you finish anywhere from 3rd-7th. Like Seattle has a 10.9% at 1st overall, and we currently have a 6.7% chance at 1st. That really isn't that big of a difference at all. I feel like in terms of the lottery, it really doesn't matter where you finish. If you're not bottom 2 in the league, then there's really not that much of an advantage between 3-7.

It’s not about the the chance of winning - it’s about protecting how far you fall. At 3-4 at worst you are falling within the top tier to 5-6. We could easy fall to 8-10 or even 12-13.

 

[Butchy Dakkar]

If we win out we can drop to 11th depending on the teams behind us.

 

[Duncstar]

Hopefully the trash keeps up, I don't want to trade our top 11 pick ++ for Fiala...

 

[SlapJack]

There's probably a 2% chance they pass anyone other than Detroit. 0% chance they drop to 11th unless it's through the lottery

True, San Jose plays Anaheim, do the most we could drop is to 10th pre-lottery.

 

[Six Assets]

stopped caring about the draft lottery/tanking after the Boucher pick lol.

 

[OD99]

We lost to Kraken which was a surprise then Gus played great for us to get a W against Van which was also a surprise...beating CBJ and the Habs wasn't a stretch (and there is ZERO chance I would have wanted to lose to the HABS at home regardless).

Easy stretch to finish the season...not much you can do about it as they can't just sit Norris/Stu/Brady/Bath, etc...

We end up where we end up, might be frustrating to a degree but no use getting upset.

I have liked the progression I have seen in Ty Nelson this year. He’s small but if his height started with a 6 isstead of a 5, he would be a top 10 pick.
If we’re lucky he’ll be available in the second round.

[BondraTime]

Can't imagine trying to play the puck instead of the man without a stick, what the frig was the defender thinking

 

[Hale The Villain]

And just followed that up with a very nice assist on Lekkerimaki's goal.

Ostlund is definitely raising his stock. Skill and speed is high-end.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

1st of 2 for Lekkerimaki today

 

[L'Aveuglette]

We easily could have finished bottom-5 without blatantly tanking. Now unless we win the lottery the chances we draft a super stud at 7-8 are minimal. Best we can hope for is a decent forward who won't really arrive when we need it most.

Huge missed opportunity.

 

[Adele Dazeem]

Who cares if we're top-5 or top-10 honestly. This draft is loaded in terms of equally decent prospects up to the 20th pick.
Shane Wright being the 1st says it all; he's similar to a guy like Nolan Patrick was.
I have no problem with the team taking a swing for a guy like Yurov, Lekkerimaki, Nazar or Korchinski if we do fall outside the top-5.
