GDT: NHL 2020 Draft, Day 2

[kovacro]

I don't know enough about Faber to comment so I defer to those that have seen him.

RHD

 

[Steve Zissou]

Did we need to trade up to take Faber!?

 

[Schrute farms]

wow, didn't see that coming. but if our scounts wanted him badly then i'm excited for it.

 

[KingsCourt]

Really?

 

[kingsfan28]

Long term prospect. Going to be a while before we see him.

 

[kovacro]

I am assuming the Habs may have been targeting Faber with their back to back picks?

 

[SFKingshomer]

Not excited with the move up for him but they have earned my trust. I like that he’s 1 of the younger kids in the draft...

 

[funky]

Excekkent skater, right shot, safe guy that played with Kleven. Makes safe plays and saw little PP time due to quality of US teams D core

 

[KINGS17]

Brock Faber - 6-0, 195 lbs. RH Defenseman

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

 

[fsanford]

I wonder if he would not be there 51, clearly Kings did not think so.

 

[Telos]

May not be exciting, but they are stacking our backend. We are getting mobile defensemen that can keep the puck out of the net.

 

[kovacro]

The Mysak slide is real, although I did see a publication or two that mocked him in the mid-late 2nd round.

 

[funky]

Chi - Drew Comesso - Goalie

 

[Mats26]

Faber is better than Kleven. But i would of went for a forward there.

 

[Steve Zissou]

Mysak still out there after Hawks take goalie.

 

[crassbonanza]

Would have really liked Mysak, but I don't know much about Faber. They must have really liked him to trade up.

 

[Steve Zissou]

We still have (2) 3rd's

 

[Steve Zissou]

Not at ALL who I thought we'd pick, don't know much at all about Faber. Anyone have any thoughts?

Tony Granato apparently does.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Chris Peters in his mock had Faber going to the Kings at 51.
Prospect Info: - Who does LA pick #2? Part 2 To Byfield or to Stutzle? That is the question

Meanwhile, Faber has been a rising talent and might not even be around at No. 51 -- but he's a quality two-way blueliner.

 

[funky]

When I look at Faber it reminds me of the Mikey Anderson pick a few years ago. Wouldnt sweat the pick. We are short on Right shot Dman in the system. At these picks we arent looking for the next Doughty but Faber will play

[Raccoon Jesus]

I'm not sure about the trade up but they must have thought he was gone and really liked him. They've earned some rope with me so i trust them on the pick

Montreal - Luke Tuch

Now it's time to get the scorers!
