GDT: NEW YORK RANGERS WIN NHL DRAFT LOTTERY

[Edge]

not challenging this, but I haven’t seen it reported anywhere. Not that I’ve searched very hard.

It's been said Lafreniere would've gone first last year, though god help me on the sources.

 

[CasusBelli]

Keith was a 2nd rounder and Hjamarsson was a 4th rounder. How can you cap the ceiling for rookie Adam Fox, and guys like Miller and Lundkvist who haven't even played a game in the NHL? Neither of those guys was what they became at this point in their career.

Fox could well peak as a 60-point defenseman. I won’t rule it out. Miller seems like a crapshoot now. Hoping Lundkvist becomes a 2nd pairing guy.

LMAO what the hell is “Misc”

"Height, weight, strength, endurance, athleticism"

More detail on what they say the numbers mean:
3 -Poor, 4- Below Average, 5 Average, 6 Good, 7 Very Good, 8 Excellent, 9 Elite

Explain Lafreniere like I’m 5

He uses a curved stick to move the rubber disk up and down the ice

There have been very few moments in Rangers history where i've screamed the way I screamed tonight.

Absolutely elated that we have the first pick.

I broke out the Lagavulin 16 year that I picked up a ways back, that was probably born around the same time Laf was

I bought that bottle of Maker's Private Select last night, to drink for a special occasion. Did i do it right?

 

[Captain Monglobster]

definitely not true. Look at Barzal's rookie season. He put more points than Tavares as a 19/20 year old

And he will get even better if he puts the work in.

 

[Thirty One]

The same people who sold us on that scam known as the metric system.

No metric system is the 1-10 in this scenario. Imperial is the f***ed up one. 5,280 ft in a mile, 16 ounces in a pound. Get out of here with that. Base 10 FTW.

Lol i was serious dude.

Ughh sorry Bro
I'm not an iPhone guy.
Android and Linux for me but I'd imagine it still works the same.
If you click on your profile there should be an area in which you can edit your info..

 

[CasusBelli]

Pelech, Pulock, Toews are really good young dmen. Other than that they run on a Trotz system.

I see them as a nuisance. They’ll frustrate for a bit but eventually cave. You still need firepower to win. The defensive Devils had oodles of it with Elias and the rest. It wasn’t just Stevens and Niedermeyer running the show.

Thanks, i'll try it

5-star post right there.

I always trust prospects who developed in Canadian Juniors over US development program so I believe it.

 

[NYR94]

On a scale from the square root of -1 to π, rank this player in the following categories

It's been said Lafreniere would've gone first last year, though god help me on the sources.

Lafreniere was being discussed two years ago as the next big time player to be drafted.

we should rate players on a scaled of 1 to 5280.

If they trade this pick my interest in hockey will seriously go down like 60%.

But my interest in what Gorton's home address is will go up 45%.

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

not challenging this, but I haven’t seen it reported anywhere. Not that I’ve searched very hard.

I feel like most scouting reports don't do those types of comparisons. But how does being one of two players to win multiple CHL MVPs before they're drafted (the other was Crosby) sound?

Explain Lafreniere like I’m 5

He's a kid that straps knives to his feet so he can push a frozen piece of rubber around a sheet of ice with a stick. He also speaks french.

 

[NYR]

WAIT..We got Lafreniere!!

Wooooooooo!!!!!!

 

[Thirty One]

Here's how I rank Lafreniere:
Offense: Good
Defense: Good
Character: Good

 

[Rorschach]

LA fan here in peace, who has been analyzing the top eight for the last two months.

For all the Ranger fans asking how he compares to Kakko...he doesn’t.

He’s very close to Auston Matthews as a winger. Physically talented, polished, and all the drive you could wish for.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

He enters a young, exciting team in a large market and he gets an opportunity to compete for a playoff spot as a rookie. He doesn’t get that opportunity in Detroit or Ottawa or Anaheim, or any number of other potential landing spots. He doesn’t have to wait for his team to fill around the edges and catch up to him. They’re going to be in lockstep from the beginning. Even better: He gets a few months to get comfortable in Manhattan, where he can begin training with his teammates and learning the systems so that when the puck drops on his rookie season in December or January, he gets to hit the ground running. The combination of his late birthday (he turns 19 a couple days the draft), his 193-pound frame (word is he’ll be closer to 200 by opening night), his already powerful puck possession game and his versatile offensive skill set don’t hurt his odds at challenging for the Calder Trophy, either.

From the Athletic (Wheeler) - The very mention of the word Calder gets me f***ing giddy
