Oh, I like this one. Would have preferred Mania or Minnetian but Cagnoni is a legit pick.

We got two picks coming up maybe we get the trifecta completed

 

[Gecklund]

Oh, I like this one. Would have preferred Mania or Minnetian but Cagnoni is a legit pick.

My thoughts as well. Hoping for Sotheran at 130 (or one of the guys you mentioned but Cagnoni was his partner)

 

[Hodge]

Not sure about a 5’9 defenseman but it’s late in the draft and his numbers look really good.

 

[OrrNumber4]

I think by “good vibes”, hohos means “good players”, who notably do win Cups.

Too early to say if we have good players or not.

Why?

It seems like he is 5'10...

 

[Lebanezer]

I like this pick.

Ooh cagnoni

pronounced ' "Can-Yo-Ni"

 

[drunksage]

Patty was interviewed on NHLN

When pressured for a go-to karaoke song, he said Friends In Low Places.

 

[mogambomoroo]

We have 130 and 132, I'm feeling couple of defencemen there, I like it

DAMN Minnetian gone... I can see Grier punching air (because Boston College)

 

[Juxtaposer]

Beckett Hendrickson would have been a better pick than Svoboda if we wanted a big center.

Too early to say if we have good players or not.

Why?

Talent.

 

[gaucholoco3]

I think we are going to end up with 6 LD on the Cuda at this rate.

Luca Cagnoni – NHL Draft Projection​

I wouldn’t say Cagnoni is bad defensively, but I think he has room to grow in that area. That combined with his size is probably what’s pushing him out of the first round on most prospect rankings I’ve seen. I say he’ll be drafted in the mid-to-late second round, and if not there then definitely the third round. His offensive ability and overall high hockey IQ are going to be very attractive to teams, especially those who need help in transition from the defensive to offensive zones.

Strengths​

• Offensive awareness, hockey IQ
• Stickhandling
• Transitional play, especially with puck possession in the neutral zone
• Defensive gap control
• Reach
• Outlet passing
• Edgework

Under Construction – Improvements to Make​

• Can get himself into trouble trying to force plays through multiple defenders and gets trapped
• Shooting, especially from long range
• Offensive instincts could take him out of defensive position

 

[Gecklund]

I think we are going to end up with 6 LD on the Cuda at this rate.

Cagnoni won’t be on the Cuda for a bit.

EliteProspects had Cagnoni ranked 34th overall.

 

[Lebanezer]

Talent.

He's 35 lbs lighter. Too much like an ostrich.

 

[TheBeard]

I like this kid. Sounds like a discount Karlsson.

 

[themelkman]

Okay scouts back in control now?

 

[Juxtaposer]

Take Mania. Just do it.

 

[YUPPY 2 7 10 11]

EliteProspects had Cagnoni ranked 34th overall.

Just another RYAN MERKLEY imposter.

 

[Mafoofoo]

Sharks draft table have a couple units, bros really enjoying the Nashville hot chicken

 

[Juxtaposer]

Landen is a bit of a plug, but he’s okay at 130 I guess.

 

[Alaskanice]

Axel Landen.

Lol ESPN's 10s video is just Landen knocking people over.

Extremely “Who??” on this pick.

Lol ESPN's 10s video is just Landen knocking people over.

That’s his best skill.
