Did Mikey Mania go yet?

I don't believe so

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Trade the 7th to Mtl for next year's 7th

Just another ripple effect of the trade up for Bjarnason.

 

[Tripod]

Time for a LHD since we have taken every other position.

Flahr pick....so BIGGGG.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Here comes the Flahr pick.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Oh shit, I'm glad we didn't take Melker.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Wait a minute. The Canucks drafted an overage Forward in the 4th who scored~0.7 PPG in the USHL?! That is the moonshot of moonshots.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

It's real.

 

[Din Djarin]

Welcome to Philly, Carter Sotheran

 

[FLYguy3911]

Neat. I had Sotheran ahead of Bonk.

Think there's breakout potential there. @PDX Flyer hates him though.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Michkov - Briere
Bonk - Flahr
Bjarnason - Briere
Zavragin - Flahr
Barkey - Briere
Knuble - Flahr
Ciernik - Briere
Sotheran - Flahr
172nd Overall - Briere

 

[BiggE]

Sotheran: large, rh shot
Yup it Flahr’s turn

 

[Din Djarin]

Why does NHL Network keep skipping over our picks to go to the teams picking after us?

 

[saophim]

If his offensive game can start growing at even just a fraction of the rate that his defensive game is growing now, then
the sky could be the limit for him.
McKeen's

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

He's definitely doing donuts in the parking lot.

 

[BigToe]

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Like the Sotheran pick has time to develop in the WHL with Portland.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Why does NHL Network keep skipping over our picks to go to the teams picking after us?

Because they are a pack of c***s.

 

[FLYguy3911]

I don't believe so

Crazy. Kinda figured he wouldn't go high after McKenzie didn't rank him, but I would have considered him in the second lol.

 

[Tripod]

They don't bother with bad picks.

 

[Kelmitchell2]

I like the last 2 picks

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Oh, interesting. Tell me some more about women's hockey, Corky, you bloated c***.

 

[FlyerNutter]

Outside of Matvei, I need to be told of this is a better draft than something Fletcher/Hextall would have done?

Or if it’s the same style.

The scouts are largely the same.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I like the goalie picks, but I wish there were more of them. You can never have too many lottery tickets!

 

[Columbus Hockey Dad]

It could be worse....MTL has now taken their third goalie of the draft!

I'm the wrong person to answer this, but my sources are telling me that the process is still very alarmingly complete trash, while I'm hearing that the picks themselves aren't too massively atrocious, all things considered.
