[clydesdale line]

NICK LARDIS TEAMMATE YOOOOOOO.

 

[TheFridge]

Awe c'mon, you could have gotten Vanacker at 34

Can we please drop this trope? Please. For the love of god.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Vanacker is good. Not sure I would've moved the 2nd rounder just to take him, but this is a good player for the pool.

Well I feel better if you like the pick at least. Never heard of this guy though.

 

[ndgt10]

KD reaches for every f***ing player.

 

[TLEH]

I watched him a lot when watching lardis. I like him but I still don’t think he’s got the upside that others like chernyshov do and that’s my constant complaint is we just take guys that are high floor, mid ceiling guys.

Sign of a GM that doesn't have balls to do shit

WTF is up with the no socks and short pants shit with these kids?

They're wearing liners old man.

 

[ColbyChaos]

Had a torn labrum solid guy to trade up for

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

Geee it would be great to have an another 2nd pick.

good thing they have a million more picks the next couple years too

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Good night for Muskegon, the jewel of western Michigan.

 

[MTU34]

With this logic they should have never made a significant investment in Hossa

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

I hate the word “reach,” especially when you get to this point in the draft.

 

[Bedarded]

so the hawks traded 20 OA+3 2nd rounders for 18 & 27 (picked 2 guys that would have been there at 20 & 34)...?

 

[MTU34]

If Vanacker and Moore both hit that’s a hell of a foundation for a pain in the ass middle 6 line with a bit of scoring pop

 

[Kevin Musto]

I like Chernyshov but he's absolutely a floor pick, not a ceiling one.

He's Katchouk with consistency. Solid bottom 6 role player.

Van at least has some 2nd line upside.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

I hate the word “reach,” especially when you get to this point in the draft.

yeah, we’re at the point where competent prospect analysts can have the same guy in the late twenties to mid sixties and both have rational reasons.

 

[TLEH]

I like Chernyshov but he's absolutely a floor pick, not a ceiling one.

He's Katchouk with consistency. Solid bottom 6 role player.

Van at least has some 2nd line upside.

I see Chernyshov with more offensive upside than that. His puck game is high end to me and I think he does a good job being deceptive offensively. Beats people.

KD with a horrendous night.

 

[deytookerjaabs]

Greene/Ludwinski/Rinzel/Nazar/Misiak/Kansterov/Gajan/Moore/Boisvert/Vanacker


I swear...the strategy is simply roll more effing dice than all the other folks in the first couple rounds.


And, yeah, the odds are technically on our side to strike gold more so than other teams.

 

[belfour30]

so the hawks traded 20 OA+3 2nd rounders for 18 & 27 (picked 2 guys that would have been there at 20 & 34)...?

Thats exactly what they did.

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

Thats exactly what they did.

I agree with the first part of this, but we have no idea if this guy would have been there at 34.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Don’t mind him at all

 

[hawksrule]

With that trade we’ve had eight 1sts the past three years, and two more next year.

 

[MTU34]

I don’t think it’s overly fair to say that Boisvert and Vanacker would have been there at 20 and 34 respectively. Was there a chance? Sure, but GMs are also able to talk to guys around the league. They may well have gotten wind that someone liked Vanacker before 34 and decided to pull the trigger. Doesn’t really apply to Boisvert since that move was made awhile ago but you can’t definitively that they’d have been able to get those guys at 20 and 34 respectively

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

McKenzie had Lev #3, Boisvert #22, and Vanacker #28.

What exactly are some people tweaking about here?
