Congrats on another strong 1st round

got a core piece on both sides of the puck

Do we need to select a goalie so bad that trading 53 isn't on the table?

I can't see a team moving up in the 1st to select a goalie.

 

[bullslugg]

ma

Anaheim traded 31+58. I think our picks had the higher value

makes sense

Trade up to get Nabokov tonight cowards!

I mean selecting one at 53

I don't think we do but at 53, any sort of thought process is justifiable on who you take at that pick. It's a lottery ticket so just pick someone and go if you're going to make a pick past like 35-40.

I'll extend the same to the Ducks. Very good picks that are going to be tough to play against.

 

[GRANdSharks]

A lot of cool options could be available at 33, I'm hoping for one of Elick, Letourneau, Basha or stiga but the draft is falling pretty good for us so far imo

 

[llamanby]

Give me a RD at 33

I was telling my wife we need to trade up and get solberg, guy is a beast…. So I’m happy we did it and got him.

Sennecke is good, maybe a bit of a reach but hopefully he continues his development curve.

When it's all said and done, I don't think he will be seen as a reach but as an astute pick.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Letourneau was one I liked as an option at 33 but it increases the odds that someone like Emery or Elick or Badinka is there at 33. Any of them would be great picks at 33. Even someone like Mews that has been falling.

 

[CanadienShark]

Today is a great day. Wow. Never expected Dickinson to fall into our lap like that. I leaned 51-49 Buuim, but you better bet I'm ecstatic with this regardless. We got ourselves a top 4 guy, with high likelihood of being top pairing. Maybe a #1 even.

 

[aircobra]

It's very uncomfortable how nobody is truly unhappy with their second pick. I'm not used to this. Someone should fake outrage over it.

Grrrr...

Nah f*** it, we got Dickinson!

 

[The Nemesis]

I wonder how they chose which teams got the big fancy cityscape graphic for the background and which just have the logo and pulsing checkerboard thing.

 

[The Nemesis]

Holy hell, what happened to Luc Robitaille? He went gray.

20 years ago, we would have picked Letourneau with #11.

Hard to imagine us not taking one of those RD at 33.

 

[The Nemesis]

The stripes on that Kings jersey are waaaaay too wide.

Yup, agreed. All are RHD which would be perfect. Though on Mews, I'd gamble and hope for 53.

Chernyshov (W with right shot) is also still there. Would be great value and just about meets GMMG-size requirements.

The odds are pretty good that one will be there but I wouldn't be surprised at a run of them coming up either.

 

[Juxtaposer]

I think Chicago is about to take Emery. Or Chernyshov.

 

[PattyLafontaine]

Chernyshov I think

whelp Vanacker

 

[timorous me]

Holy hell, what happened to Luc Robitaille? He went gray.

That really threw me for a loop for a second. Must have been on the Just for Men and then just said f*** it and went stark white (with his pale skin it's even more jarring).
