Chico was saying that if Nemec turns out to be a #4 Dman than it's a good pick.....come on man.

I definitely think it's possible that Nemec could be the 4th best defenseman in the NHL

Dallas drafted Mayorov. That was my guy. Great pick. We are walk away from MHL talents again.

Dallas has upped there draft game a ton (I’m not just talked about the obvious 2017 haul, they’ve been brutality good since then).

 

[OmNomNom]

HAHAHAHA KEVIN OWENS

[Brodeur]

Hah Kevin Owens sighting.

 

[Guttersniped]

I guess we're stuck with Johnsson?

Yes, we’re re-signing him and he’s moving in with you.

 

[DerekDevils30]

f*** it. Draft Kevin Owens with the next pick.

 

[Blackjack]

Our Central European scouting has come up with a big C in Pytlik who it's tough to judge because of injury woes, an absolute waste of a pick with Baumgartner, and now Hauser -- also big but lacking skating.

Baumgartner might not be the fault of the scouting so much as influence from the analytics department. Analytics people called him a sleeper, but everyone I know with a scouting background wouldn't have considered him if the draft went 500 picks deep.

Nitpick on Pytlik but he was drafted out of the OHL.

KO and KFC Bruce

What a world

Carolina smart. It infuriates me to know this is the same man that ran the Thrashers for their entire existence.

 

[Hisch13r]

Comrade Carolina with Grundinin... someone called that.

I called that way back after the Gleb and Perevalov picks that he'd be their next guy. I didn't think they'd end up getting him at f***ing 156

 

[Guttersniped]

And there goes the Latvian, to Florida. Sigh.

 

[DerekDevils30]

LOL Boudreau starstruck is hilarious

 

[Hisch13r]

I guess we're stuck with Johnsson?

No. He was never going to be moved at the draft. The move comes after the signing bonus is paid out.

 

[ninetyeight]

kind of odd pick. i mean he is a forward.

Tbh I don't really expect anyone to be an NHL regular after the 4th round or so. But I feel like a huge power forward net front presence type of guy with good junior production, but with skating issues (usually comes with the territory when you're a big guy) is a good gamble at this point. Bigger framed guys always take a bit longer to adjust playing with grown men anyway.

 

[Forge]

I guess we're stuck with Johnsson?

I would be a little surprised if we didn't consolidate some of the forwards we have, but that trade can basically happen whenever. Johnsson to AZ for future considerations, done.

Carolina smart. It infuriates me to know this is the same man that ran the Thrashers for their entire existence.

They have the most famous analytical hire in hockey as their AGM, Eric Tulsky.

 

[Bleedred]

Lmfaooo Chuck Fletcher forever

Thank god for the Flyers for poaching him when they fired Hextall. Which was already a bad move for them to begin with. The worst thing Hextall did was stick with Hakstol quite a bit longer than even Shero stuck with Hynes.

Because remember where Chuck Fletcher was working at the time the Flyers hired him. If he was still where he was a year later than maybe he’s tapped to become the GM year to replace Shero, on the account that he has NHL GM’ing experience and Tom Fitzgerald did not.

 

[Emperoreddy]

All the D!

LOL Boudreau is hilarious

Fixed

This is Eric Tulsky puppeteering Waddell

I absolutely love that Boudreau is a wrestling fan…because of course he is lol

 

[StevenToddIves]

If we want a really high upside F -- Joel Jonsson is still right there. He's an elite passer and puck handler with elite compete and IQ. If he were 6'2 he'd be long gone, but he's 5'9 and lacks elite skating which probably explains why a guy of his high level attributes is still on the board.

 

[Hisch13r]

I absolutely love that Boudreau is a wrestling fan…because of course he is lol

Got to meet his 2nd favorite wrestler
