Draft Day Predictions

[True Blue]

There were some Tukonen and Radulov fans. I feel like one of the regular posters (Larry Melynk? I don’t think it was TB) was obsessed with Tukonen.

Tukonen was not my man. I was hoping that one of Barker or Ladd would drop to us.

I think that we were all surprised how far Schremp dropped that year.

I didn't think so. I dont know why but I think it was Larry Melynk. Does he even post here anymore?

He makes an appearance every once in a blue moon. Shame some of the old time posters are not around any more.

Prediction: the Rangers draft Kotkaniemi and by Saturday morning Larry Brooks is calling him The Ayatollah.

Prediction: Kotkaniemi will be called "Jesper" by everyone and in 2 years he will just change his name, removing the i at the end

And shortly after that, he changes his last name to Fasth just to make Sam's head explode.

I think both Boqvist and Wahlstrom will be there. I think the Hawks are taking Hayton.

If they are both on the board when we are picking... I say we knock down Edmonton’s door and see if we can grab that 10th pick too and grab them. Some sort of combo of 26th, Hayes, and then maybe a 2nd/3rd (if needed)

 

[EdJovanovski]

I'm 2/2 so far

Rangers don't make any deals involving players, they take Kravstov at 9, and make all 3 picks in the first round.

What do I win?

What do I win?

My admiration

 

[BklynTerp]

We use our late firsts and early seconds on guys that the fans and media haven't set their mind on, and people get mad about players they know nothing about

Bless you

 

[Trxjw]

My admiration

That's all I ever wanted.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Disappointed about Wahlstrom
I predicted we'd take 3/3 players we took though

Prediction? This board will complain about whoever the Rangers draft with their 2nd round pick—despite 99.9% of the board never having seen him play.

Well, I'll own up—I was wrong. The board didn't wait for the second round to complain.

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

If we believe Carp saying the Rangers has Kravtsov as the second best forward, I guess it’s safe to say that if Tkachuk made it to 7 we probably wouldn’t have traded up for him?

Not for nothing, but your under-the-radar take on Wahlstrom was spot on. Someone posted about one of his knocks being his inconsistent effort, you said ‘stay away’. And the Rangers did. Good call.

I might have been reacting more to the language the poster used but I hate when I hear, "When he does try...."

WE ARE THE NEW YORK RANGERS. LITERALLY EVERYTHING WE DO IS WRONG.

I blame my dad for taking me to my first game in 1977. We suck
