GDT: Draft Day 2019

[MinJaBen]

Finn media was hooting of Carolina hogging the Finns a couple of Finn picks ago already.

Well, we let Chicago have Saarela.

 

[Oogie Boogie]

f*** it take them all

 

[cptjeff]

Little (or big?) Helsinki.

5'10". Perfectly average.

 

[Lempo]

So yeah in 1995 Sharks had a Finnish scout, and he used most of the picks (5) on Finns, and I think we have topped him now.

 

[Brock Anton]

Well, we let Chicago have Saarela.

He'll be a Hurricane in 2021 when we do our annual trade with Chicago.

"Look, we took Marleau off your hands, now can you please tell LeBrun to stop linking you guys to Pesce?"

"If you go near Brett Pesce again I swear to God on my momma's grave I'ma rip off your arms and beat ya to death with 'em!!!!"

 

[Lempo]

Well, we let Chicago have Saarela.

We had one of those already. We are not the Islanders you know.

Rangers just grabbed him.

 

[A Star is Burns]

We're gonna like the Finnish WJC team this year methinks

 

[DaveG]

and he goes to the Rangers, damn. I was hoping for him with our 4th, but I'll take getting some of the guys I thought we'd have to use a late 2nd/3rd on in the 4th instead. Shit with Puistola I wasn't even sure he'd be there at 36 if we didn't take him at 28.

 

[cptjeff]

Next pick at 152, our longest wait of the draft.

Edit: So far, until we wait 33 picks between 183 and 216.

 

[Mildan]

Next we want Leevi Aaltonen.

Noo, Rangers got him to back up Kakko. Wanted him simply for his insane speed

 

[Roboturner913]

I mean if we still end up with some guys like Rees, Puistola, etc after all this they'll look like ****ing geniuses. And so far 1 for 1

Holy ****, congrats on this post

 

[DaveG]

Loving our draft so far FWIW:
Skill, Crazy Goalie, Skill, Skill, Skill, Skill, BIG MF, Skill

 

[Ranksu]

Rangers just grabbed him.

shame on Rags.

 

[Lempo]

Holy ****, congrats on this post

It's a ****ing time traveller again.

 

[Wolfpuck]

It's like that guy in that film who said to that one guy that some guy is banging that guy's wife at his home.

 

[FlyingSquirrels]

Thought I'd stop in and say the Canes are f***ing destroying this draft. What an amazing job. very proud of our brain trust.

2 first rounders next year is just the cherry on top. Phenomenal weekend.

 

[raynman]

Aside from lucking our way into Svech is this the happiest we’ve ever been on draft day?

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Great picks but failed to do the one thing we needed, made us better for next season.

And more than likely, two 2nds, their own and the conditional pick from NYR for Fox. They’ll be absolutely in a prime position to add at the deadline next year.
