B's were once fairly high on Lauko but he didn't do much when given chance this year as regular

Lukas Reichel's future

 

[TLEH]

Pridham playing BCHL again next year is really weird

 

[HeisenBaez]

Kevin He is on the board!

FREAKOUTS ARE JUSTIFIED

No there not. It's just a damn draft. There is a lot of things to freak out about but a draft is not one of them.

Pridham playing BCHL again next year is really weird

Given where he’s committed I don’t think it is. He’ll be in a much better spot in terms of playing time heading into BU at 19 as opposed to as a true freshman this fall.

The BC league is also getting MUCH stronger. They shed the hockey Canada umbrella and can basically do whatever they want with imports and stuff now. The best programs from the AJHL also just joined the league

That is odd.

Looks like he changed his mind.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Maybe kid has personal reasons to stay

If he heads off to NCAA a year delayed does that give Hawks an additional year of holding his rights?

 

[Mrfenn92]

Nice roll of the dice here by Minnesota

 

[Kevin Musto]

Kiviharju goes 122.

Massive fall from being seen as a top 10 pick last year.

Wasn’t he viewed as 1OA pick for a little?

You don’t see many players play D+1 in that league that get drafted.

Yes

Theres usually a small handful every year. Given that the league is getting quite a bit stronger I’m fine with it

 

[Mister X]

I see the usual suspects are back to freaking out about third round picks. Good stuff.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

didn't Rinzel do the same thing because of some technicality where he couldn't register for class in time or something, maybe something similar?

 

[Kevin Musto]

Yeah but he was playing in the USHL.

BCHL is bum league.

Suniev last year went around the same area and went to UMASS. Had a good year for them.

Hoyt Stanley also played NCAA following year.

Yeah, it’s probably due to BU, but it’s still weird to me.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Unfortunately most of the worthwhile targets at 138 are smurfs

Justin Poirier, Luke Misa, Alexander Zetterberg, Clarke Caswell

But this late in the draft, nothing wrong with gambling. Plus, it's Vegas.

 

[Giovi]

Yeah but he was playing in the USHL.

BCHL is bum league.

Everyone is laughing at you.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Up in three

Take zetterberg

 

[TLEH]

I like Misa actually.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Nice pick by Ottawa

Mirsolav satan?

 

[Kevin Musto]

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO????

 

[Mrfenn92]

Joel Svensson center

 

[Kevin Musto]

Overager?

 

[Mrfenn92]

Overager?

Yes
