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

[SnowblindNYR]

He is.

That really sucks.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

I cannot comment on his methods, but he does seem to have tried pretty hard ...
"Here’s a complete list of all prospects from 2000-2020 that DART identifies as an elite forward: Draisaitl, Marner, Crosby, Stamkos, Reinhart, Tkachuk (Matthew), Hall, Tavares, Ovechkin, Barkov, McDavid, Eichel, Matthews, and Lafrenière."

Good to see another metric that has Laf way ahead of the pack, but Stutzle at 9 is a head scratcher.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

That really sucks.

Eh I like him. He seems a lot smarter than most and he does do his research. To each their own.

 

[Polar Bear]

That really sucks.

I like him, but I've been a fan of Bob for years.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Are you guys not bothered by the fact that he ruins every pick?

Ehhh, this is somewhat overblown. Yes, some picks he hints at, but he has been wrong at times too or just states several names that were obvious to connect to a team.

I know for a fact he did it with Lias and Kravtsov.

Well, Bob is VERY connected with our team. We are one of his ten teams every year. In general though, it's a bit overblown.

And honestly, I personally don't care that much about finding out while they're walking to the podium vs. when they actually say it from the podium.

He said 5 names for the Lias pick

 

[Leetch3]

it can be annoying but it is a bit ironic for people who spend the entire day on a message board hoping for some inside info to get mad about spoilers lol...so we only want 'inside info' that is wrong?

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

Just remembered how Viasat (or some other Scandinavian channel) spoiled the lottery with us, the Devils and the Blackhawks

 

[SnowblindNYR]

But here's thing you don't care, but I find the people that do care are the ones that want to hear it from the team. So one side doesn't care if they hear it from the podium and the other side does care but has to hear it from him.

He said 5 names for the Lias pick

Did he? I feel like even when he does that it's a red herring because our pick is always the last guy he mentions.

 

[NikC]

Brothers... what's the best way to stream the draft tomorrow?

Thanks !!!

He said they really liked Pettersson, Glass, those two had just been taken, then Lias, Suzuki and one other and Lias was in the middle

Ok, maybe you're right. How do you remember not only who he said but what order he said it?

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

Because we talked about it as the order sounding like what the Rangers draft list/preference looked like for months after the draft

 

[Fvital92]

Brothers... what's the best way to stream the draft tomorrow?

Thanks !!!

onhockey tv, just google this.

 

[Harbour Dog]

It doesn't bug you when he says...expect the rangers to take so and so here...right before they make that pick? I frikking hate it.

To be honest, I've never even noticed that he is always right haha. NOW it will bug me.

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

I think what happens is that the teams put in their picks while they’re at the table and he sees that before it’s announced

 

[Lime]

I've convinced myself Lapierre is the guy at 22 and I'll be super upset when Montreal takes him with their pick

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I think hes off the board before they pick.

 

[bl02]

Yeah Lapierre is gonna be gone by #22. If he’s not we should probably go boom or bust
