Prospect Info: Blues 2021 draft

[Beauterham]

This a good pick? I'm at work so I'm not sure what's up with him.

Only guy that was still available that most scouting agencies projected in the 1st round.

I'm very happy with this then!

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

I’m just shocked we actually took a faller with some upside lol

 

[mk80]

Very happy with that pick!

 

[Bluesnatic27]

He was on the rise until the international tournament a few weeks prior. Scouts seemed to sour on him for that, but I think that’s a tad myopic. Excellent third round choice.

Whoa. What a steal! Seems like he might be more highly thought of than Bolduc lol.

 

[Damian Frerker]

Will Red Savage be there for us in the 3rd. Sounds like he’s a kid that would be a good fit.

 

[Beauterham]

We got 2 forwards in this draft. Time to get a defenseman with the next pick. There are a few OHL defensemen that could be really good but didn't got a lot of viewings so might be still available at 145 or 198:

Ethan del Mastro LD
Ryan Mast RD
Bryce Montgomery RD
Jack Matier RD

 

[Damian Frerker]

Oops sorry boys. A little behind today

 

[ItWasJustified]

He was on the rise until the international tournament a few weeks prior. Scouts seemed to sour on him for that, but I think that’s a tad myopic. Excellent third round choice.

So scouts sour on a player because he didn't perform as well as they would like in tournament for u18s,despite him proving all season that he can play in the second best league in Europe? I wouldn't want those scouts anywhere near my franchise.

 

[Beauterham]

The Flyers draft a goalie, so they select Kolosov. The weird part isn't that they draft a goalie, but it's that they draft Kolosov while both Benjamin Gaudreau and Tristan Lennox still available.

EDIT: there goes Gaudreau. Expected him to go a lot sooner.

Wonder if signability issues with kirsanov?

There he goes.

Wonder if signability issues with kirsanov?

Could be a concern. Looks like that's going to be LA's problem now.

 

[simon IC]

King's score again! Wow, Blake is having a great draft!

 

[Blueline2757]

Kings are absolutely killing it

 

[mk80]

What’s the next number for our pick?

 

[simon IC]

What’s the next number for our pick?

5th round, #145 OA.

 

[Beauterham]

What’s the next number for our pick?

I believe we only have 145 and 198 left.

 

[stl76]

King's score again! Wow, Blake is having a great draft!

I don't know much about Clarke because he was obviously going to be off the board by the time we were picking or Helenius, but Pinelli and Kirsanov seem like great picks where they were taken.

 

[stl76]

I believe we only have 145 and 198 left.

I believe you are correct, as our 6th rounder went to SJ in the deal to trade up for Robertsson.

 

[Halak Ness Monster]

You wonder if the Blues would go back and take Lambos or Ceulemans in the first round if they knew they’d get a 1st round winger in the 3rd round?

That’s assuming all other picks remain the same(except Lambos/Ceulemans)…which in reality they absolutely wouldn’t. But man it sure would be nice to have added a 1st round D and a 1st round Forward in this draft. Oh well. 2 first round forwards is pretty awesome too!

 

[stl76]

Damn Taige Harding goes to Chicago. You hate to see it.

EDIT: looks like they traded to get the pick to take him too...smart move, Harding gives off some serious Parayko-lite vibes. f***.

 

[stl76]

Another nice pick by the shitbirds in Del Mastro.
