GDT: Draft Day Thread II

[Jabba11]

We didn't pick Kostin??

 

[Zorba]

Wow...ST-Louis....have you stopped laughing?

Pittsburgh valued protecting crosby and Malkin more than the 31st pick and I can respect that. Especially wiTh them both getting a bit older
The pens know team will try to cheap shot their stars.
They won a cup with no defense

 

[Ohashi_Jouzu*]

Those are 3 pretty good prospects for #29, 30, 31 overall.

 

[Adriatic]

Was that fat guy with the Blues Keith Tkachuk?? He looks like he just ate someone lol

 

[yianik]

Try to salvage draft with some skill in next few picks.

-Lipanov
-Ikonen
-Texier
-Elvenes

 

[Mathletic]

well, boring draft for an unimpressive draft class.

 

[Jabba11]

Have to say, Vegas came out with what seems to be 3 good picks!

thats why I love this board... scouts spend hundreds of hours watching prospects for a living and we sit on our couch thinking we know better.

reality is that a few of us are better than many of them.

Ya I'm sure that's the 'reality'.

Except a lot of posters here have followed the 2017 draft eligible prospects since last year, you'd know that if you were more involved within the prospect community on HF.

There's a lot of ******** on here but once you sift through the crap you'll find that there's actually quite a few people here that are extremely knowledgeable when it comes to prospects.

The poster right below me is a great example.

as a reference, next year's group I will have followed them since they were 15 because of the youth olympics (typically I'd only follow the Q guys from 15 on). But what do we know.

 

[Weber Fan]

I feel like we pick Riley Sheehan...

 

[NotProkofievian]

Ya I'm sure that's the 'reality'.

It hasn't been hard to be better than the Canadiens for some time now.

 

[TT1]

I feel like we pick Riley Sheehan...

My only viewings of Poehling we're from the U18's and Hlinka. He had a strong net-front presence, he distributed the puck well, he was defensively solid and he hustled. Good traits to have in a player.

Button's comparable for him is Jordan Staal

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

What an absolute joke of an organization. 2 straight summers making me wish I was a Nashville fan.

well its never too late...

 

[JuicyHam]

Here's to hoping we can at least make some intriguing picks or moves tomorrow. 4 picks in first two rounds for tomorrow.

 

[Vi Nc E x13x]

Nashville got a big steal .... that kid can shoot and he generated like 5 shots/gm this year

 

[ProspectsSTC]

Potential 1st line, 30+ goal winger or probable 3rd line center? You know the way we like it. I won't be able to follow the draft live tomorrow but if I find out we pass on Ikonen I might lose it

 

[Runner77]

We didn't pick Kostin??

Why did the Habs prefer Poehling over Kostin?

 

[A Loyal Demidog]

Why did the Habs prefer Poehling over Kostin?

My guess is since Kostin already has a bad shoulder injury, and he might stay with KHL - add to it he's a winger.

Thanks. So it goes back to what they said, a strict positional need.

 

[TT1]

It's a bit funny tho. The NHL CSS #1 Europe player (Kostin) was selected #31 .

Behind Heiskanen, Pettersson, Andersson, Necas, Liljegren, Vesalainen, Vaakanainen, Brännstrom and Chytil. #1 went #10.
