God enough crying give the kid a chance none of us know if Cole or Connolly would be anything

 

[BondraEra]

Did the Predators mess up too lol?

 

[Calicaps]

What's done is done. All that's left is to hope they were right.

 

[Hivemind]

Someone tell ESPN that 58 is a 2nd, not a 3rd

 

[Calicaps]

Did the Predators f*** up too lol?

we took their guy

 

[ChaosLord]

The Wizards? That's a good joke.

Yeah, enjoy playing shuffleboard on the deck of your sinking ship.

 

[Marshall]

Kid has Top 6 Forward Medium potential in NHL 24.

Everybody calm down. We're good.

 

[hb13xchamps]

Pronman wasn’t a fan of the pick. Says his foot speed is nowhere near NHL level and it was a reach.

Pronman has a foot fetish I swear

 

[Pigskin]

Good luck to Parascak ... hope he becomes awesome

Surprisingly, i believe in our scouts and front office more than those here

Going to pull for the kid but fact is we took a second round pick at 17 in an already weak draft when top 15 talent was still available. There ain't no other way to spin this at the moment.

Ross gonna go out like he came in. Spamming Western picks.

Tanner Howe at 52?

I've always been a massive Ross supporter but sometimes he gets f***ing zero'ed in on these off the board guys and it's so blatantly obvious this was the pick before the draft even started because he thinks he can outsmart the league. It didn't matter who was there, this was his guy.

 

[SherVaughn30]

The way I see it, Caps probably were eyeing some d-men, but they were taken. I'm guessing trading up was too costly, so they went off the board. This was a weaker draft so I'm not gonna start crying over spilled milk or something.

Cole already wearing Utah colors with that suit.

Even worse it was his guy when he signed Funk.

Watched Parascak (and Funk, and Thorton) quite a bit and I think he's pretty great honestly. I don't see the skating concerns he was regularly getting breakaways, even SH, and to me it looks like he would catch players off guard with his acceleration. Maybe he looks tired in a lot of highlights because he played so much but I wouldn't be as worried about it as y'all are.
I got to see several games of Catton, Iginla, and Lindstrom and still Parascak stood out as a guy who does it all really well. He is so skilled and thinks the game at such a level that I feel like he will be in the NHL for sure. Worst case scenario he's an amazing 3rd liner but i'm no expert.
However, and another poster mentioned it, Washington making this pick seems odd given the Ovechkin window. Parascak is very slight and is absolute best case two years away from being able to play pro games more likely three or four. I won't be surprised if he's used in a deadline trade to add a top player.
If he stays in Washington I guess I have to follow this team now but I'm not happy about it! I was rooting for y'all in 2018 if that counts for anything.
Funk and Thorton are solid players and battled like crazy all year in Prince George. Can't help but root for them as well

 

[SherVaughn30]

A lot of these guys are 5 years out or never. Top 10 -15 you maybe see sooner.

 

[Cappy76]

Everything I've heard about this draft was a drop at 12 and from about there to the end of the round was a toss up. I have no issues with the pick.

Thanks we have had some posters who hate GMBM and take every chance to blast any move he makes. Welcome to the Caps board
