Low Effort GDT Draft day - 7:00 SN PART 2

[FormentonTheFuture]

Really? I'm reading people wanted JJ.

What people want in the 2nd round means nothing. They're usually uninformed and incorrect

 

[Micklebot]

Kyle Turris bought out by Nashville

2 mil cap hit for the next 8 years

 

[Sweatred]

2 mil cap hit for the next 8 years

Brutal signing … Julie must be thrilled.

 

[Adele Dazeem]

I'd bring Turris back but he probably wants to stay far, far away from Melnyk.

 

[Icelevel]

Kyle Turris bought out by Nashville

Wow

 

[Speatleysson]

Peterka looked good because of stutzle

Would have been neat to get Timmy's buddy.

But that's all I got.

Go Roby!

 

[Senscore]

I know people love him but not signing Turris was a great move.

 

[HSF]

Turris buyout WOW

Roby Jarventie's draft profile at Hockeywriters:

Heading into the 2020 NHL Draft, Roby Jarventie appears to be one of the most fascinating prospects available. As a big-bodied winger who is incredibly fast, possesses a fantastic shot and knows how to pass the puck to bring out the best in his teammates, he seemingly has everything that the league wants in a top-end selection.

Roby Jarventie has many of those intangible skills like speed, size, and scoring that NHL general managers look for on draft day. (Pasi Mennander / Finnish Ice Hockey Association)
While Jarventie played for KOOVEE in the Mestis league (the second-highest professional hockey league in Finland) throughout the 2019-20 season, he was one of the most dominant scorers despite only being 17 years old. His 23 goals and 38 points in 36 games showcased exactly where his talents lie: scoring.
However, the reason why Jarventie isn’t getting talked about as one of the can’t-miss prospects of the draft is due to his lacking defensive zone presence. While he has great scoring instincts, he can be a bit lackadaisical in his own zone, leading to bad positioning and goals against.

Against weaker opponents in the Mestis, Jarventie was able to cover defensive errors using his size and speed, but that may not translate when he starts playing full-time in Liiga for the 2020-21 season. Against men, those defensive lapses may cause him to become a liability, even if his scoring upside is great.

Roby Jarventie – NHL Draft Projection

The general consensus is that Jarventie will be a mid to late third-round selection at the 2020 NHL draft. He has the toolkit that NHL general managers love, so it is hard to imagine him falling past round three.
In fact, some believe that he has the potential to crack the first round, given his size and ability at such a young age. While this seems unlikely, it wouldn’t be the first time that a team falls in love with a prospect’s intangibles, before taking a chance on him with a late first-round pick. If this happens to Jarventie, that may put the wrong sort of pressure on him, as he simply won’t be ready for NHL ice-time next season. He needs at least one or two years playing in Liiga to really develop his game against men before he attempts to make the transition to North America.

Quotables

A big, gun-slinging goal-scorer. Can finish from out high and is deadly in the slot area… Very young for this crop so there’s loads of space to grow.
Cam Robinson – Dobber Prospects

Jarventie brings a diverse skill set to his line beyond setting up for rifle shots at the net. He’s dependable carrying the puck in open ice and will stickhandle through or around traffic, and he’s capable of trapping checkers up high once he’s inside the offensive zone.
Steve Kournianos – The Draft Analyst​

Strengths

• Incredibly fast for his size.
• Has a great passing IQ.
• Overall great offensive toolkits.
• Excellent shot.

Under Construction (Improvements to Make)

• Can be slow to react in the defensive zone.
• Needs to have his scoring touch catch up to his speed.
• Has to fully mature his gameplan to keep up against better opponents.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

We need to hurry this picks along HOLY

 

[Sensinitis]

With Murray and Hogberg in net and the addition of Stutzle I think we’ll be knocking at the door fighting for a Wild Card spot. We’ll probably end up 10th or 11th or something but I don’t see us being bottom of the barrel anymore.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Really love the Ducks draft thus far

Perreault and Colangelo are boom/bust players with top 6 potential

 

[IranCondraAffair]

Really love the Ducks draft thus far

Perreault and Colangelo are boom/bust players with top 6 potential

and Drysdale was definitely neck and neck with Sanderson for best defenseman.

Really solid draft.

 

[Bileur]

We need to hurry this picks along HOLY

I honestly don’t get it, if you’re going to make it this slow you should have it on during prime time.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Good pick by Minny here.

 

[Bileur]

Minnesota gets Rossi and Khusnutdinov wow. Going to be solid two way team.

Have you seen our defence?

 

[Ouroboros]

Minnesota gets Rossi and Khusnutdinov wow. Going to be solid two way team.

If they stand one on the other's shoulders they almost have a full-size NHL center!

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Minnesota gets Rossi and Khusnutdinov wow. Going to be solid two way team.

I like the pick... but I also like Kunin

Nice pick by SJ too... Bordeleau is a solid player

 

[BankStreetParade]

I'd bring Turris back but he probably wants to stay far, far away from Melnyk.

He might not be at a point in his career where he has much say in where he goes. I think he'd probably take any contract at this point.

 

[SensFactor]

Khusnutdinov is absolute bulldog of a player. He doesn't have much scoring upside but he does everything else extremely well. At 5'9 however Ottawa probably didn't want to take the risk.

 

[Korpse]

Khusnutdinov is absolute bulldog of a player. He doesn't have much scoring upside but he does everything else extremely well. At 5'9 however he Ottawa probably didn't want to take the risk.

Also just drafted Ridly Greig, similar type of player but more upside with Greig imo.

 

[Micklebot]

The same people who constantly harp on taking high upside guys being the same ones who dont like this pick... classico

Is anybody really complaining? I mean, people had favourites and might be disapointed we didn't take their guy, but i haven't really seen anyone be particularly critical of the pick.

 

[SensFactor]

Nice pick by Minny, Ryan O’Rourke is a physical dman thats flat our nasty at times.
