I give it an A.
Demidov and Hage is a great first round. They picked some intriguing players with size later on.

Do you even scout, bro!?Okay I can't resist....I'll say this...right from the start....I do NOT know how any of those guys will do in 4 years I do not. Woudl have I picked who they picked starting round 2? Nope. Nobody. Do I Know all of them? Nope. I know Koivu. Saw a little of Sawyer and Thorpe and Merrill but can't even put them in knowing them..lol
It's an uncharted territory for me because I've never experienced this. Never in Timmins era was there so many unknown picks in 1 draft. Never. So either our scouting group are genius. Either...they are not. We will see.
But I don't think, AS A DAY, that it's a great day. Not moving up. And not going with players I preferred. But again I repeat, NONE OF THE PLAYERS CHOSEN I can say I disliked. I don't dislike any of them...I don't know most of them....
Thank you.
Respectfully.
P.s. I f***ING LOVED YESTERDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Schuchinov being ignored is the biggest what the f to me. Unless he's specifically said he wouldn't come over. Hrs playing top 4 in the KHL right now. Most of these players will never even make it to the AHL.As a personal note, it's my best performance ever for my top 100 chosen. With only 5 players left. For what it's worth...which is not a whole lot...lol.
Still can't believe Zetterberg wasn,t even worth a pick.
Shades of Romanov post-draft. I know, different management. But they saw something with the players they picked, and maybe they did well!I find it funny some people reacting like "who the f*** is this kid?! bad pick!" .. how can you judge it as a bad pick when you don't even know th kid lol oh well, that's just HFboards for ya lol
-A for day 1, just because we traded away the second when we might of had Hage at 26th. Just feel like this was a move to setup another move and it failed.Well? What do you think?

Ivan Demidov (W)
Michael Hage (C)
3rd round:
Aatos Koivu (C)
Logan Sawyer (C)
4th round

Rasmus Bergqvist
You'd be a lot happier in life if you could separate politics from sports.We do like our Q players, don't we?
They couldn't fail because of Demidov but I'll give them a C for the rest of the draft. Ridiculous picks made, we lost a 2nd rounder for nothing, refused to move up to grab clear fallers that would've been a) good PR and B) good value.
The good: Demidov and Koivu
The bad: moving up for no reason
The ugly: Two quebecois born players on 40 picks for this management.
