prob drafting a goalie with one of these two picks

Got 3 last draft and there isn't much left, already 13 taken.

The same thing was being said last year and now the class is looking pretty good. Habs hockey ops have been doing pretty darn good in recent years. Random posters not knowing who the draft picks are doesn't mean a thing.

It's the samething every year. Some people around here never understand.

Viktor Norringer from Sweden is a sneaky good selection for Nashville. I was kind of hoping we would take a late swing on him, as someone that wasn't getting much traction, but has some good tools, a late birthday and potential.

True. But people who actually do watch the game have a right to their opinion.....

 

[Treb]

There goes Zether to Florida.

Scouting is a crapshoot, I wouldn't really say anyone's list is more legitimate than any others

 

[HabsCode]

Tyler Thorpe to MTL

 

[Whitesnake]

Thorpe...no idea. lolllll

 

[MD thaivuN]

finally SOME SIZE COPIUM

 

[Seb]

Tyler Thorpe, RW 6.4

 

[Treb]

Tyler Thorpe.

Big boy.

 

[Whitesnake]

Roberts...great pick San jose.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Yes !

 

[Natey]

Protz is to eventually replace Xhekaj who probably has an assets value too tempting not to trade in the short term.

Honestly if he continues to develop, he'll be better than Xhekaj. He's better at reading the play and better defensively. Very physical. Not as good of a shot. Not a bad skater either.

 

[Doc5]

Big winger at least!

 

[Fatbiggie]

Good size winger

is Anthony Romani finding himself in a Logan Morrison situation or why has he not been drafted despite the impressive totals?

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

Overagers who can't hit PPG don't usually turn out very well, but hopefully he's a late bloomer

 

[le_sean]

Extremely surprised a 6’5 forward went this late. Overager

 

[Draft]

Misa or Poirier would be quite the complement to the guys we’ve already taken.

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

is Anthony Romani finding himself in a Logan Morrison situation or why has he not been drafted despite the impressive totals?

Foot speed is a bit of an issue for him, but there have been much worse skaters with much worse stats taken much higher

 

[Schooner Guy]

True. But people who actually do watch the game have a right to their opinion.....

Yes...so they can bash the Florian Xhejak pick because they looked at his stats.

Not many in here have followed the players going in these rounds closely. The regional scouts have watched them in person several games and talked to everyone who ever coached them as well as several teammates.

 

[Whitesnake]

Thorpe is an overager. Very low ceiling.
