Ugh, Noel goes with our 2nd to Florida. This hurts every bit as much as many thought. Final departing present from Dave Tippett. @rt will love this.

 

[Grimes]

Islanders with a great draft so far.

Just knew this would happen.

Fingers crossed for Tychonick.

Sorry.

Fingers crossed for Tychonick.

f***!!!!

 

[rt]

Nordgren is now my hope.

 

[rt]

Haha didn’t notice Thomas was still on the board. FML

 

[rt]

Hate Kevin Bahl. That’s a pick for 1999.

 

[Name Nameless]

Welcome, Kevin Bahl! You made the servers crash, so you must be the biggest steal! :-D

 

[tuxonpups]

Wood replacement.

 

[RABBIT]

I don't hate it. Big guy, good skater and untapped offense.

 

[Coyotedroppings]

Great pick, large D, something us old curmudgeon's still believe in!

 

[Alberta Yote]

I am really finding it hard to care.

 

[rt]

Bahl is just like Westerlund. 0% chance of being a meaningful NHL player. Just keep throwing 2nd round picks into a flaming dumpster. What kind of morons draft players with ZERO offensive upside in the first three rounds?

 

[Alberta Yote]

This draft sucks. Makes it even tougher watching other teams nail it.

 

[Name Nameless]

Ok, now getting more and more errors on HFBoards.

Be nice to the servers. Remember they are old and fragile. Surprised this equipment from the 70's lasted this long.

[Alberta Yote]

The good news is that the Coyotes are going to be near or at the top of everyone’s draft losers list so we’ll get a chance to see dickheads dumping all over the franchise some more.

 

[AZviaNJ]

Boston-west strategy.....now if only Hayton(Bergeron) and Bahl(Chara) can become a fraction of those Bruin comparisons.

 

[tuxonpups]

 

[moosemeister]

Oh boy this draft is underwhelming.

World Cup time

 

[SR]

To think we could have had Zadina at 5 and Thomas at 55 makes this draft just f***ing brutal.

 

[IPreferPi]

Regarding Bahl, when’s the last time a giant D actually became a legitimate offensive force on the backend? Especially with the way the game is trending?

Regardless, best case scenario is that Bahl is another Brandon Carlo. Don’t love the pick but you can do worse than drafting a giant shutdown 4D with a late second.​

 

[Mosby]

Saw a bunch of Thomas in Niagara. Underwhelming, so I'm okay missing on him. Lot of good quality second rounders though.
