GDT: NHL 2020 Draft, Day 2

[KINGS17]

I hope Similiac or Jurmo fall to us

I think you're right, and the Kings will take one of these two if one or both of them is available.

 

[RocketKing]

I really liked Robbins and hate it that the F head Sharts got him.

 

[Steve Zissou]

Ryan ORourke (another D) still out there.

57 - Cup Champs - Jack Finley

 

[kilowatt]

Damn, Tampa takes Finley. Kid's HUGE, 6'6.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Was also hoping Finley would be available. Darnit.

 

[Steve Zissou]

Still scratching my head if we really needed to move up to take Brock Faber.

 

[kilowatt]

Ryan ORourke (another D) still out there.

Nope, he was taken at 39 by Minnesota already.

 

[kovacro]

Jeebus, Jack and the Beanstalk, that's one big boy.

Still scratching my head if we really needed to move up to take Brock Faber.

You have to assume the teams just below the Kings in the queue may have had him on their radar so the Kings jumped up. Didn't cost much in the end to do so.

 

[Steve Zissou]

I hope Similiac or Jurmo fall to us

Looks like 1 of them will be there unless Boston and Toronto take both of them.

 

[kovacro]

I believe this is Boston's first selection of the draft. Make it count.

 

[KINGS17]

I've got to say, having draft picks is so much more fun than not having draft picks.

Well on draft day, sure. This is more fun in June though.

Just seemed like way off the board for the need to move up.

 

[kilowatt]

Jean-Luc Foudy and Lukas Cormier are still available.

 

[Scottkmlps]

Still scratching my head if we really needed to move up to take Brock Faber.

They had 11 picks going into this draft. Might as well use one to move up if the player they want is there.

 

[funky]

58 - Boston - Mason Lohrei- suprise pick

 

[KINGS17]

Boston goes off the board with Mason Lohrei.

 

[kilowatt]

58 - Boston - Mason Lohrei- suprise pick

Lohrei*

 

[kovacro]

Quick tidbit on Faber:

He's a great skater who uses weight shifts well while gliding to avoid getting knocked over on the rush. There are some defenders who defend the blue line violently; others are more calculated. Faber suffocates the opposition, guiding them with his stick to the outside and enveloping them. -EliteProspects 2020 NHL Draft Guide

Reminds my of Mikey Anderson - good safe pick - A right shot Anderson

 

[funky]

59 - Toronto - Roni Hirvonen - good pick

 

[kovacro]

Rockin' Rony Hirvonen to TO, we are up.

 

[kilowatt]

Alright, Kings have two of the next six picks. Who are we thinking?

That's not my point, at all.
