seems okay.

 

[WTFetus]

Wins Norris, draft Norris.

Is there a Stanley in the later rounds?

 

[PacificOceanPotion]

I mean, it is what it is...Best of luck to him, probably 3rd or 4th line center down the road?

 

[Nighthock]

Aaaand the terrible drafting continues. Taking a late 2nd/early 3rd round guy at 19. Great work, fellas!

Been saying it forever - fire Burke.

That's only because this year's NTDP was pathetic.

[TomasHertlsRooster]

I'm not sure why people refer to him as a "low ceiling, high floor" player. Similar to Mirco Mueller, he has a low ceiling and a low floor.

 

[Tkachuk4MVP]

With the way this board kills every first round draft pick we make, I don't know what to think.

Awful....should have taken Kailer

Cue typical reactions. Fact is that this draft leveled out after the top 5 or 6 players so I have no problem with the Sharks taking a fast, high IQ two-way forward. They have, historically, put a lot of stock in the combine testing and this guy was one of the top performers. Good pick by the Sharks.

All caps brutha, I assumed it was sarcasm!

 

[Antbox530]

Kostin, Yamamoto, and Comtois on the board and they pick a maybe 3c

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Heh. Guess we will see.

I mean...did you expect Tim Burke to do elsewise?
