GDT: NHL Entry Draft | Day 2

[Melvin]

potato likes Brenden Sirizzotti now. A guy like MS was talking about, couldn't get into any games last year after the OHL season was canceled. Not sure if anyone will take a swing. I wasn't really sure how to evaluate these guys either. There are probably going to be so many late round steals available.

Oh, how I wish the potato was our GM.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

For 6th and 7th round
Kinda wish they just go for all the MHL kids

This is a good way to highlight the constant asset bleed that is maybe Benning's worst attribute and also the hardest one to explain to a casual fan.

It’ll somehow be blamed on Gillis by Benning bros

Boy did I read "asset bleed" incorrectly.

Ty Voit who Toronto just picked is also exactly what I’m talking about.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Well let's see if the Nucks can add a pick or two and salvage a pretty meh draft.

 

[Melvin]

William Von Barnekow Lofberg!

 

[Bitz and Bites]

Myrenberg seems like a decent pick in the late rounds. Limited upside with some skating work to do but could be a physical third pairing guy who could be a shooter on PP2.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

I do like that the Red Wings drafted Red Savage

 

[Hansen]

William Von Barnekow Lofberg!

If the NHL doesn't work out for him he can just go back to being a prince of some small western european nation

 

[The Vasili Jerry]

William Von Barnekow Lofberg!

 

[Hansen]

who do we take here

 

[thething]

Still some interesting guys out there. Peter Reynolds, Eric Alarie, Trevor Wong.

 

[WTG]

Hugo Gabrielson Swedish defensemen.
How good is he in your model @Melvin? If I may ask.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Gabrielson is fine in the 6th.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Almqvist would be the fun pick here for the Nucks. Go high end talent and 5'7 dane.

 

[ziploc]

Seems like a good pick. Swedish defencemen sometimes turn out.

 

[Melvin]

Hugo Gabrielson Swedish defensemen.

Not great. He was playing in the 3rd tier Swedish league. To be fair, Alex Edler had the same production in the same league when he was drafted, so that's probably convincing to Benning.

 

[WTG]

Amazes me that people can watch all 200+ eligible prospects enough to get a good read on them to make a scouting list. The amount of time and dedication is nuts

 

[Hansen]

Lockhart seems like the kinda player @MS was talking about

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Connor Lockhart is fine there but I would have rather Almqvist as the short guy as Almqvist is just barely eligible in this draft.

 

[Nucks for the Cup]

Lockhart what are we thinking??? Finally a CHL player

I’m guessing 99% of the posters just pretend that they know these prospects selected past the first 3 rounds
Hell, I highly doubt pro nhl scouts know more than 100 prospects each year

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

I’m guessing 99% of the posters just pretend that they know these prosecutes selected past the first 3 rounds

90% of scouts pretend they know these players after the first 3 rounds.
