G Malcolm Subban (2012, 24th overall, Boston)

[DeViLzzz*]

It was obvious that NJ was going to have to trade up at some point to get Subban and with Thomas doing what he has done I knew that Boston would be a player in looking to draft him too. I was surprised Florida didn't draft him and other teams could have done it just to add more organizational depth but guess they had better things to do. Subban's race is the only thing that kept him from going higher guaranteed. Lou really disappointed me when he didn't move up to get him cuz this goalie is so smooth with his game and has so little unneeded movement.

Gonna replace Tim Thomas with a Tim Thomas style goalie.

Wow...such a troll pick. I actually smiled when I saw Boston take him.

 

[Buckets and Gloves]

Bruins or Leafs should draft him for the sheer comedy of it all.

Well...

Gotta say I am very pleased... shocked he was there at the time... but I am very excited to welcome Subban to Boston, and the extra spice it adds with Montreal.

Good stuff!!

Called up to Boston today, although it's more likely due to the Bruins light schedule this week (Saturday - Kings, Wednesday - Rangers) and getting Svedberg some games down in the AHL. If he's still up next weekend though, the Bruins have a back-to-back against the Islanders then Canadiens. It would be quite something if he was able to play Montreal.

Disastrous debut tonight; quite possibly the worst I've ever seen.

I've never really liked the kids game tbh. He always leaves you wanting more and doesn't make that save a goalie needs to have.

Ya, not a fan either. Seems far too reliant on athleticism. Fundamentals/technique is sorely lacking.
