[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Solid pick.

Size, late birthday and improved immensely

Any other info that's not obvious would be great.

 

[Seb]

Bienvenue à Montréal, Tyler!

He might be the son of Gil Thorpe from Modern Family.

 

[habsterr]

Looks good.
attributes: Physical. Big. Good shot.

 

[Garbageyuk]

An over-ager? Meh.

 

[the valiant effort]

Anytime you can add a Thorpedo to your organization you do it

 

[Whitesnake]

Connor Crisp part 2.

So you're telling me he can play goalie as well? STEAL

[BLNY]

Big. Can skate. Shows some offensive ability. If he's a teachable kid, there's a path for him.

 

[Beendair Donedat]

He’s grown 10 inches and put on 50 lbs in the last two years which is pretty incredible. He has a physical presence and is starting to develop a nice touch around the net. His coaches in Vancouver were very high on him. I think this is a very solid pick for the 5th round and I suspect you’ll see him eventually play in the show.

From Richmond so at least he is rich.

Good thing he’s not from “Dildo” or “Come by Chance” then.

 

[Whitesnake]

Let's wait 4 years.

 

[Banjo Cat]

Let's wait 4 years.

Stop being the voice of reason, you. These guys are all awesome. We are killing it. Dean Letourneau is gonna bust for the Bruins, and this guy is going be the big player they wanted.

 

[Jee]

7'5" in 2028, I can live with that

 

[Treal]

Tyler Thrope > Beckett Sennecke

 

[MXD]

The progression is interesting, but if the only reason he's progressing is size and strenght vs. Juniors, he won't get much further than the ECHL. I like the gamble, though.

From Richmond so at least he is rich.

Good thing he’s not from “Dildo” or “Come by Chance” then.

Imagine if he was born in Intercourse, PA

Late birthday for last year’s draft. He’s a 2005 born

Yeah, my dumbass read it wrong.

Still liking it. I guess if it was his first year at that size and production he wouldn't be there.

Yeah I don’t know anything about him but I’d suspect he’d be a late 1st rounder, early 2nd if he was first year eligible.

 

[JianYang]

Is this the first draft pick from the giants since Brendan Gallagher?

 

[Rob Sense]

Ogle Thorpe?

 

[Pip]

As a Giants fan there’s definitely some upside with this pick. Was the only one scoring goals at the beginning of the year then got hurt off a skate cut. Very good skill set of size/speed/shot and showed a lot more comfort in his size last year vs his original draft year. Expecting a big year for him. His vision/playmaking would be where I would be concerned.
