GDT: HFNYR 2014 Draft Day, Friday June 27th/Saturday June 28th. 7:00 P.M. EST.

[Joey Bones]

Lets see what bust Phoenix takes this year.

Perlini.

 

[RangersFan]

Kevin Fiala's mom, you the real #1 pick.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

It would be dope if Maloney ragged on Ribiero to preface his selection.

He's such a garbage GM. Not sure if he could do that.

 

[Joey Bones]

Damn I was right!!

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Perlini.

Good call!

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Perlini.

Good guess. And I'm not a fan of him, either.

 

[AlternateSideParking]

I think they said his parents are Czech.

Really? I grew up with a couple of Fiala's and they're were off-the-boat Italian.

 

[Joey Bones]

Good guess. And I'm not a fan of him, either.

Same. He screams bust all over him.

 

[Tawnos]

Are the Kitchener Rangers really bad? Lot of highlights against them.

 

[Infinitum Vitae*]

Caps take European guy

 

[AHB*]

Horn is a solid player. He's not James Neal. Horn is simply an inferior player. Neal was on a great contract and is a 40 goal scorer in Pittsburgh. This is a pretty massive downgrade.

I love it, though. It's an awful deal for those ****ers. Rutherford is a terrible GM.

And Horn was a 30 goal scorer in Nashville? James Neal was playing with Crosby or Malkin. It's not fair to just throw out stats and say, oh, well, 30 goal scorer for a 40 goal scorer.

I wouldn't be shocked to see Horn pot 40 with Crosby or Malkin. He's a much headier player.

The big downgrade is in grit, but maybe Pitt saw the Rangers and thought it's not as necessary.

It's a good trade for both teams to be honest and it might turn out to be a win for Pitt.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Really? I grew up with a couple of Fiala's and they're were off-the-boat Italian.

Yeah they said it on TSN. They moved to Switzerland before he was born or right after.

 

[AlternateSideParking]

Perlini is def Italian. I hope he cooks better than he plays because the few games I watched him against Kingston he was timid and floating.

Rob Brown 2.0

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Same. He screams bust all over him.

He'll be another in a long line of 50 point ceiling players that horrible team drafts. Maloney is such garbage. I am so happy he is no longer ruining our team.

Laviolette likes speed. Hornqvist is very very slow.

 

[Joey Bones]

Caps take European guy

I'll wig out if they take Larkin, Tuch, or Honka.

 

[AlternateSideParking]

No Gibson.

It's not a good trade for both teams. It's a typical Rutherford trade.

Expecting Hornqvist to massively improve with Pittsburgh is like expecting Scott Gomez to produce more on a more offensive team than the Devils.

Hornqvist is a very solid step down from Neal with basically the same contract. Spaling is a good 4th liner / average 3rd liner. Does not come close to making up the difference in the two players.

 

[Ail]

He'll be another in a long line of 50 point ceiling players that horrible team drafts. Maloney is such garbage. I am so happy he is no longer ruining our team.

Not to mention they're the most boring team in the NHL.

Agreed.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Caps will take Kapenen.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Laviolette likes speed. Hornqvist is very very slow.

The only advantage he has over Neal is that he is a net presence. That's it.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Not to mention they're the most boring team in the NHL.

I really do despise Maloney. He was the primary architect of a number of terrible drafts for us.

 

[Hire Sather]

James Neal has now been traded twice for terrible returns.

 

[Joey Bones]

There needs to be another trade. This draft seems very boring.
