I didn't realize he dropped that far, nuts. There's been some real good gambles in the mid/late rounds here. Pautov just went to Philly

 

[Hunter Gathers]

I would love Ryan Strome in the 4th round

Yeah, I don't get AK's tweet, there. Really dumb take if he's being serious. Hard to tell.

 

[Machinehead]

Strome wasn't a bad player for us. I think he's a lesson in making the upgrade if you can (not directed at any particular defensemen), but we got good years out of him.

I assume he's being funny because we'd all love Strome in the 4th round.

Upgrade is half of it, but it's also a lesson in exactly the right time to let a player go to UFA. Even if we had no replacement lined up, we ran him for all the found money he was worth and said goodbye before we had to pay market wage, which was shrewd.

And again, not mentioning any names.

Considering what we gave up for him, Strome was a steal. He should be a winger though - he's really not good enough defensively to be a center.

 

[B17 Apricots]

Dontsov is still on the board.. competitive little f***er. Our pick is coming soon

 

[Hunter Gathers]

WTF kind of a name is "Loke"

Tone Loc

It's ironic that Glen Sather just retired, this feels like the most Glen Sather draft ever.

How?

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Only 3 players selected the entire 6th round so far below 6'1"

Wow

- - -

We just took Rico Gredig - overager from Switzerland. 6'1" 180

 

[noncents]

Raoul!? Rico!? wtf this is

 

[The Crypto Guy]

WHO?!??

 

[Good Intentions]

Bruce Graham off the board

 

[B17 Apricots]

Fyodor Avramov to Carolina. They invest heavy in Russia whereas other teams overlook. He was ranked as a possible 3rd rounder. Big guy that actually has talent

 

[frisland]

ok, sure, why not

 

[gravey9]

How?

First, lack of picks. Very Sather era. Also, this is a fairly low ceiling draft for us. I get it, We only one pick in first 3 rounds. But we've draft a possible second pairing D and then 2 bottom 6ers. We'll see what the last pick is, but we haven't made a boom/bust. Just more bottom of the lineup depth. Only North American.

also, there were like no online highlights for most players early in Sather's tenure. And we just picked 2 kids in a row where there are NO highlights at all.

You realize you're just saying random things, right?

 

[gravey9]

Ok, who are we inviting as a UDFA?

Are we even going to do a prospect camp?

 

[B17 Apricots]

Mac Swanson at 207 wow... I didn't even notice

 

[B17 Apricots]

Makar Khanin in the 7th to Montreal... Sharakanov, his teammate, should not go undrafted again

Edit: This is an insane 7th round...
Swanson, Khanin, Humphreys, Reeder... wtf
