Draft Draft 2020 Draft & Undrafted Free Agent Thread: Part VIII

[LiveLongandProspal]

They opened a Taco Bell in the Netherlands a few years ago, but people didn't go because they were too expensive. There's a chain called Taco Mundo in the Netherlands that has better tacos at better prices.

A year or so later they closed their only restaurant and left

Taco Bell was too expensive!?!? Did they serve real meat there or something?

Oh, chain restaurants here are so different from the US.

I actually like Burger King, KFC and McDonald's here but in the US, I always feel uneasy because everything is so greasy

I've heard that. I don't eat fast food (except Chick-Fil-A), but I heard they just use better ingredients at international fast food joints than they do in the US.

I have to agree. The Burger King and McDonald's at Amsterdam's Schiphol airport were semi-edible compared to the US. I would always hit McDonalds before those long flights back to the US.

It's all local ingredients. The recipes are the same of course, but here in Austria for instance they use potatoes grown here. I'm no expert on the difference soil makes to something as simple as a potato, but it's just an example. Same with the meat.

Makes sense. Nice to know you can eat a Chicken McNugget and not devour a chicken full of antibiotics and steroids and other gross shit.

Ok guys.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Lol just when I thought this thread couldn’t get any better.

Lol just when I thought this thread couldn’t get any better.

This is the direct result of a draft being delayed into October. Blame the pandemic for what has transpired here. Also, please freeze me body until Tuesday night already, JFC.

 

[Mandar]

Just imagine if Anne Hathaway went to Five Guys and made you a burger and Cajun fries.....

Anyways... Back to the draft. It's so close guys and gals!!

A mock draft:

Ran. 1. Alexis Lafreniere
L.A. 2. Quinton Byfield
Ott. 3. Tim Stutzle
Det. 4. Cole Perfetti
Ott. 5. Lucas Raymond
Ana. 6. Jamie Drysdale
N.J. 7. Alexander Holtz
Buf. 8. Marco Rossi
Min. 9. Anton Lundell
Win. 10. Jake Sanderson
Nsh. 11. Jack Quinn
Fla. 12. Kaiden Guhle
Car. 13. Yaroslav Askarov
Edm.14. Seth Jarvis
Tor. 15. Braden Schneider
Mtl. 16. Hendrix Lapierre
Chi. 17. Dawson Mercer
N.J. 18. Rodion Amirov
Clg. 19. Dylan Holloway
N.J. 20. Lukas Reichel
Cbs. 21. Jacob Perreault
Ran. 22. Ridly Greig
Phl. 23. Mavrik Bourque
Wsh. 24. Helge Grans
Col. 25. Marat Khushnutdinov
StL. 26. Ryan O'Rourke
Ana. 27. Connor Zary
Ott. 28. J.J. Peterka
Veg. 29. Noel Gunler
Dal. 30. William Wallinder
S.J. 31. Jan Mysak

I'm aware that I have Ottawa and New Jersey picking 3 forwards each. In Ottawa's case adding both Stutzle and Raymond is like aiming at getting two first line forwards in one go. Later on they drafted Peterka who like Stutzle is one of the few Germans in the draft. In New Jersey's case I think they need wingers which is why they might take Holtz over Rossi.

As far as Grieg is concerned--he's one of the youngest guys in the draft. There are elements to his game that could be very useful for the Rangers in the future. However others see it I don't think if we pick a forward at 22 he is likely to become a top 6 player for us anytime soon. So getting a rounded player who might get there someday but in the meantime can work his way up from the 4th to the 3rd to maybe the 2nd line is better than someone who is top 6 or bust.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Yeah Lapierre is going to jump into the top 12.

I like the Russian instead.

 

[Leetch3]

Yeah Lapierre is going to jump into the top 12.

that might be ideal for us...takes the choice about taking the risk on his health out of our hands and pushes another player down the list.

 

[eco's bones]

Everybody's a critic.

 

[Mandar]

No way that Zary drops to 27

 

[wafflepadsave]

Everybody's a critic.

No I didn’t mean it that way. Bought the draft analyst program and love the write up.

 

[broadwayblue]

Saw it suggested we might take Khushnutdinov. Seems like a great prospect from what I read.

 

[Leetch3]

he sounds like a good pick but right now I'm struggling to not get spontaneous dyslexia spelling Lafreniere correctly...I'm not ready to spell Khushnutdinov lol

M. A. R. A. T.

If we pick him i'm calling him "Marty the Rat" from here on out.
