GDT: NHL 2020 Draft, Day 2

[Mats26]

Why trade assets for Faber when Niemela was there. Don't like that move

 

[Lt Dan]

What's everyone's best available?

your momma and then Alex Cotton, but I still want a goalie

 

[kilowatt]

I could see Foudy, another high motor high speed Wagner-lite (or maybe more).

Foudy's been compared to Kasperi Kapanen, which I would like very much.

 

[Steve Zissou]

Nepotism? Right. This should be it for Blake, we already know he's gone if he "lost" the coin flip on Stutzle/Byfield.

Jesus let it go man.

Especially after last draft, I trust our scouts

 

[kovacro]

Didn't the Kings do the same in Lombardi's early years at the draft? I seem to recall they traded one of their 2nd round selections, which they had multiple picks in the round, to Colorado for Brad Richardson. One of those ones where you take a shot and see how it works out.

Maybe they like Faber better?

 

[kilowatt]

Brock Faber
"Skating defenceman who has shown a penchant for jumping into the offensive attack. Has become a really solid defender using his skating to close on opponents, beat pressure and in transition."
Projection: No. 4/No. 5 Two-Way Right Defenceman
Comparable: Brandon Montour

 

[HookKing]

Jesus let it go man.

Not a chance.

 

[lumbergh]

Daemon Hunt off the board with the Wild. Best name in the draft.

 

[kovacro]

Daemon MILF-Hunt-er off the board.

 

[funky]

65 - Minny - Daemon Hunt - I liked this kid

 

[kilowatt]

With the Kings acquiring Andersson, I wonder if they take a defenseman at 66? Or maybe a goalie - Daws?

 

[Lt Dan]

Pourier, Cotton, or a goalie please

 

[funky]

Daemon Hunt off the board with the Wild. Best name in the draft.

Hockey News had him at 42, Draft Analyst at 83 - injuries may have hurt him on rankings

 

[Scottkmlps]

Smilanic please.

 

[kilowatt]

Cormier, Foudy, Poirier, Daws.

 

[Frolov 6'3]

Why trade assets for Faber when Niemela was there.

Because after getting somebody like Helge Grans, someone with the name Topi is kinda meh.

 

[lumbergh]

That's the longest name ever. How are they gonna fit SIMONTAIVAL on a jersey?

 

[kilowatt]

Kasper Simontaival? Who?

 

[funky]

45 - we stole Kasper Simontaival - RW

 

[Lt Dan]

Kasper "The friendly Ghost" Simontaival

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Whoa, didn't expect Simontaival!

 

[kovacro]

Kasper Simontaival

He's a true dual-threat winger with two-way upside, a sturdy frame, and the type of competitiveness necessary to hang in there as a vertically-challenged forward. The 5-foot-9 winger has a lethal release that can beat goalies from tough angles and long distances. He wields the best shot out of Finland in this year's draft. -EliteProspects 2020 NHL Draft Guide
