You'd get to hear Melnyk tell Mann and Dorion he's decided they're taking Tkachuk.Would love to have had the Sens mic’d up for the draft. That’s pretty neat to see.
Draft day slides haven’t really seemed to indicate much in the past. We see players that slide make teams look foolish almost every year.
Dobson will be that guy for 2018.
Vilardi will be that guy for 2017.
Thought Brown was that guy for 2016. Hope he still is but I have some doubts now.
Seems like my favorite prospects fall hard every year![]()
So this tweet by the Canucks shows their GM mic'd during the Draft.. There is a point early on (before Detroit picked Zadina) that they were discussing Zadina or Hughes... they wanted Hughes.. so to me it is becoming evident that Zadina had lost some favor-ability in the eyes of a few teams
Interesting comment in that clip "when do CHL goalies picked late ever pan out?... other than Murray". Question worth looking into considering we picked one the last two years.
2001 - Mike Smith (#161)
2009 - Darcy Kuemper (#161)
2010 - Petr Mrazek (#141)
2011 - Laurent Brossoit (#164)
I did an (extremely) quick search of goalies drafted out of the CHL between 2000 and 2015 and these are the guys of note drafted from round 5, 6 and 7. I may have missed som guys, but it paints a bit of a bleak picture.
I'm pretty sure Brian Elliot was the last person drafted in his year.

Woah. Not so impressive imo. I wouldn’t bet on Vancouver scouting. They did get a couple interesting players though.
Meanwhile, back to Brady in the Brady thread - Are we going to sign him or let him stew at BC/London for the year without a contract?
If he goes to London it will be because he signed a contract and never made the Sens out of camp or was sent back prior to his ELC kicking in, rather than Belleville.Meanwhile, back to Brady in the Brady thread - Are we going to sign him or let him stew at BC/London for the year without a contract?

0 concern about Brady signing, less than 0My concern is even signing him at all. Walt could play hardball (you know he's involved in the process), EK and Brady have the same "agent" so you have to wonder what the relationship to PD is like right now, and what Brady's uncle is saying to him these days.

No I wouldn't know anything with regards to Tkachuk, there is just little reason to be worried about that. Wheeler was the last guy taken that high that wouldn't sign with the team, and we would have done our homework.Have you heard if he is wanting to get a deal done this summer?
You'd get to hear Melnyk tell Mann and Dorion he's decided they're taking Tkachuk.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but if Brady signs a ELC, doesn't that bar him from going back to NCAA?
Perhaps the only thing holding up the contract process is him deciding College vs OHL/AHL/NHL?
