Meh, doesn’t mean much to me, there are a lot of ranking services so there are always going to be a few that say you made a good pick.

Literally ranked higher than this on every list on EP. There's a 148 and 147. The rest are 124 or lower. This is bitching to bitch.

A friend of mine used to live in a duplex in Minneapolis, the other half of which was a Somalian family with 8 kids. One of the kids was named Zamzam, and he was definitely the bad one. We'd always hear the parents yelling ZAMZAM!!
/cool story

He’s ridiculously raw and cartoonishly scrawny, you just have to go with scouts on this because it’s about physical development.

someone get him a cheeseburger

 

[forceten]

Not that young, March is close to the middle, young draft eligibles are born in August or September.

Why did I have May in my head? I am on I-95 in endless traffic heading toward Philadelphia. I'm literally in purgatory.

 

[MasterofGrond]

Regardless of how I feel about the filmon pick though

Get that kid some f***ing PROTEIN god DAMN

 

[Csonked Out]

Outside of a developmental center im quite pleased with the work we have done this draft

Woah man, I’m fine with the pick, it’s a sixth rounder. I’m just saying that with mid to late round picks it seems like you always see a few cherry picked rankings. If he was ranked higher across the board, that’s good.

 

[forceten]

Seminoff to DAL

 

[Guttersniped]

We need centers but this was more of a defense draft and next year is reportedly lining up to be a great center draft.

I believe in leaning into the strengths of the draft and taking what it gives you.

I was hoping for a dropping Russian forward but apparently no, we like their defenseman way more lol.

f***, construction by mile 30? This is exactly where I’ll be in a few hours.

 

[StevenToddIves]

Dallas hits yet another home run with RW Matthew Seminoff -- ultimate compete checking winger with scoring pop. Man, they've drafted well in recent years.

 

[Brodeur]

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

Not ideal size, but unexpected work rate given his body type. Some character concerns. May or may not be on the list.

I'm in Virginia. I've been in Virginia for... (checks watch)... seventeen thousand years.

It’s like he’s staring into my soul

 

[MasterofGrond]

Devils draft for me is like a B, B-

Not much I’m in LOVE with but nothing truly insane.

Between Richmond and DC? That stretch is an eternal mess.

Barabosha would be a great pick in Round 7. So would Mastrodomenico for RD.

So many good players left -- Morrison, Jonsson, Nguyen, Petrovsky, Ali, Flemming, Ward, Verreault.

The 7th round is going to send it into overdrive, you graded too soon.

 

[forceten]

Yep. When we go up to Delaware for LAX we avoid 95 entirely and take 301 and then go up the coast but this tournament is W-NW of Philly so there's not much better. Since VA and MD always fight over which direction an interstate bypass for Washington would go. I think it's easy, build them both. Simultaneously.

Oh Christ, I was thinking Southbound. You’re South of the beltway? Do you have any cyanide capsules in the glove box?

That's true. COL hasn't even picked yet.

Oh Christ, I was thinking Southbound. You’re South of the beltway? Do you have any cyanide capsules in the glove box?

I thought so, but I think the gods have taken them as well. My son's doing the driving, so there's that. I get to work and also be on HF. It's ridiculous. Once you pass Richmond it's just surreal.

 

[Guttersniped]

The Wild are on FI-RE

 

[Xirik]

Josh Filmon could be a very sneaky player, When he turns sideways he disappears.

We went for need and high-floor. Plain and simple. We started with the highest-floor D in the draft with RD Nemec, then went for two more high floor RDs in Casey and Leddy and a high floor LD in Orlov.

These are all good picks, but if you were hoping the Devils would make a home run swing? Well, the only one they made was G Tyler Brennan. We solved our RD problem and improved depth all across the board except center, which remains a problem on the prospect level though clearly not with the big club.

 

[MasterofGrond]

Canes are an A+ for me

Wild probably an A, A-

I’m 10% of the way there now, so might as well do some full grades later
