The draft happens in Vegas and there isn’t even a forum discussing the draft or their pick. Weird.
I thought I knew a lot of VGK fans, but based on social media, none of them attended the draft or so much as acknowledged their 1st round pick.They all left the building after their pick. I think it's just that the fans in Vegas aren't intense/ long suffering enough to seek out a message board as a form of therapy (speaking for a friend of course).
Maybe they just don't want to acknowledge who they picked.I thought I knew a lot of VGK fans, but based on social media, none of them attended the draft or so much as acknowledged their 1st round pick.
They had a friendly exchange on Monday. Might have just been the question he was asking.
What a day. Celebrini and Dickinson. Could not have imagined a better haul.
I’m interested in Nikita Artamanov who played a full season in the KHL last year, which is kind of nuts in your draft year. And he had 23 points.Here are my preferences for 33:
Chernyshov, had him at 16 in my personal rankings, would be a great addition to complement Eklund or Smith. No other remaining forward comes close in my view, that’s why I wouldn’t be okay taking another forward.
If they go D for positional need, it goes like this for me: Elick, Badinka, Pulkkinen/Brunicke (high-upside, lot of risk would be ok for me after getting the safest D in SD).
Could live with Basha or Hutson as well and I like Ritchie more than most, also reading a lot of negative quotes from scouts have put a damper on that thought.
Unfortunately, I have to attend a birthday that starts half an hour after round one begins and have to get there…
No, that one was definitely Grier ribbing him a bit. But Sheng asked him a question on Monday re: Atkinson and made a funny comment "it wasn't my report" calling back to that Warso presser exchange and they both laughed. I think it's a fine relationship between them. The press is always a little annoying.Are you referring to Grier's "Oh you mean your report" remark? That was another example that leads me to believe Grier doesn't care much for him.
But of course, it can just be my own bias as over the years I've come to find him smug and at times a bit dismissive (even at our own @Kcoyote3 )
I have a feeling Kleber might be the guy. Chris Peters' choice for the Sharks and his #33 ranked prospect. A beast of a RD? You can really start to dream about the building blocks of a pain-in-the-ass defense for opponents to play against being in place.They all left the building after their pick.

I'd be happy with Badinka, Chernyshov, Pulkkinen, hell even Kleber. But not Elick. Feels like Okhotiuk to me, no puck skills at all.
But whatever. 95% of this draft is already in the bag.
If you had told me before the draft we'd end up with Celebrini and Dickinson I'd have pooped my pants.Celebrini and Buium? or traded #33 and #11 for Celebrini and Demidov?
Congrats on getting the better half of your dreamSomehow getting Dickinson and Emery is my dream
I think VGK fans hang out on reddit or similar. Don't know many VGK fans are aware of forums.The draft happens in Vegas and there isn’t even a forum discussing the draft or their pick. Weird.
OhNyquist on Youtube says Dickinson will fall to us at 11.
That would be in-sane.
I plan on briefly waking up, finding out who the 33rd pick is, then going right back to sleep, then waking up later wondering whether I dreamed the 33rd pick or it was realWhoever decided to start tmrw at 8 in the morning is an asshole. I may just stay up and nap during round 4.

It was the former. So so the former.I can’t tell if this is going to be a totally wild draft or if we’re going to pick Eiserman/Solberg and all of us are gonna be like… oh…
I’m not gonna have that luxury, but at least I’ll be next to the players.I plan on briefly waking up, finding out who the 33rd pick is, then going right back to sleep, then waking up later wondering whether I dreamed the 33rd pick or it was real
Not if you were SupermanIs it too late to fly to Vegas?
I wondered to myself today whether there's a gentlemen's agreement for the first pick amongst teams where they take all the time to give teams a chance to start making phone calls. Because I don't know of a league where this ever doesn't happen.For f***'s sake Grier, do we really have to sit here and burn the whole clock?
Maybe it got deleted given the player controversy?The draft happens in Vegas and there isn’t even a forum discussing the draft or their pick. Weird.

But I think I prefer Dickinson to Buium for this team, and why do we believe 33 and 11 would have enticed Montreal to trade us #5?
