NHL Entry Draft Future Draft Watch

[Ice-Tray]

Nah not in the Timmy and Sandy draft. We were perfectly positioned for that one

Absolutely, Brady draft as well, but it seems like outside of those drafts we just miss out on our guy, or the tier….

Kind of a funny comparison considering Karlsson put together the single greatest playoff performance this franchise has ever seen.

Also, Hughes has been dynamite in the playoffs so far in his career.

EK was great, but he didn’t do it alone. Several players were great to get that team as far as they did.

I did say EK light, and Hughes has been good, but then again, the success has been limited, and the first round doesn’t have the toughest competition.

He’s a great player, but he’s no EK in his prime, and I personally wouldn’t want to build my team around him.

No player ever does it alone. That's an impossible bar.

Not wanting to build a team around someone is a fair point. Throwing out a "he'll be easily neutralized in the playoffs" is another thing all together.

It's very interesting watching the over/under lines moving for guys leading up to the draft.

Lot's of stuff going on in the backgrounds

I don't know what, if anything, to make of that stuff. Maybe I'm naive, but do the line makers really have any better information than those in the public who follow the draft really closely? I'm imaging some data scientist in Vegas whose job is really just to cruise HFBoards until Bob's list comes out.
