GDT: NHL Entry Draft | Day 2

[Canucks LB]

Anybody have a BPA list?

 

[Canucks LB]

Did Raty go yet?

 

[Get North]

Kirsanov is somebody I think can be a top 4 D but he's a LHD. Same with Svozsil. But, at forward anybody like Stromgren, Robertsson, Knies. There's not much for RHD.

 

[Szechwan]

More than anything I'm hoping we can pick up another 2nd.

Hard to believe we couldn't get a late 1st for Schmidt after seeing what Ristolainen went for.

I feel like he's worth more than a 2nd though.

 

[Fedz]

Zellwegger
Kirsanov
Chayka
Stankoven
Knies

Wouldn’t be upset with Morrow, Chibrikov or Pastujov either.

 

[timw33]

Our list of available picks for a draft is completely unacceptable for a team that finished in the bottom-10 and has been a bottom feeder for 5 out of the last 6 years. I thought last draft was depressing but at least they went on a Cinderella run—this is so much worse.

 

[bossram]

Stankoven>>>>

Kid will be an NHLer. Plays a feisty, shoot and retrieve game. Pastujov is a good value selection too.

I also really like some of the high-IQ defensemen still on the board: Peart and Zellweger. I'd be very happy with one of them as well.

 

[Balls Mahoney]

I want to draft at least one guy with a good hockey name. Riley Kidney is my personal fave, or Cameron Whynot because, well, why not?

Red Savage, bro.

Best hockey name ever. Sick prospect too.

 

[ChilliBilly]

One thing is for sure is that the Canucks had better knock their 2nd rd pick out of the park, because they don't have another until the 5th. And this years draft will entirely depend on whether or not OEL and bounce back and be worth his contract. We will have $19 M tied up in 3 contracts that look like they will last forever. We shall see. Either way we should be a playoff contender this year. Its the next 5 years of that contract that will be a concern.

 

[Balls Mahoney]

Connor Roulette
Alex Geci
Stanislav Svozsil
Tage Harding
Red Savage

All intrigue me. There's so many interesting prospects in this draft with how screwed up the last two years have been. I hope the Canucks can grab as many late round picks as possible tomorrow and go fishing as there seems to a lot of kids who would have been 1st-3rd rounders that are flying under the radar due to the coof.

 

[Bettman Returnz]

More than anything I'm hoping we can pick up another 2nd.

Hard to believe we couldn't get a late 1st for Schmidt after seeing what Ristolainen went for.

I feel like he's worth more than a 2nd though.

I think teams are hoping they can land Hamilton… or cheaper options like Suter or savard. But there’s only so many of them to go around. Probably be a plan b or c option, which we may have to wait until free agency and look to recoup a pick(s) for next draft. See how it be plays out I suppose….

 

[David Bruce Banner]

What's caused Raty to drop so hard?

 

[kcunac]

Using MacKenzie's list, Morrow is the only RD (ranked 37) until Heimosalo (56), Iorio (58), and Schmidt (65). It is unlikely Morrow lasts another 9 picks as RD is already at a premium and it is also in low supply.

Pinelli (C), Chibrikov (RW), Chayka (LD), Stankoven (C), and Raty (C) are all interesting fallers. Chayka or Pinelli would certainly fill organizational needs if they are still available. Raty and Stankoven are two high risk high-reward picks. Doubt Stankoven plays C in the NHL.

Helenius (C) is another one who is interesting and ranked right around our pick (44). Could see him go earlier given the emphasis on big centres.

Kirsanov (LD) is also someone of interest as he already plays solid D in the KHL. Ranked at 73, he might be a bit of a reach at 41.

So 11 names to look for (3 or more will be available to us): Morrow, Chayka, Pinelli, Chibrikov, Helenius, Heimosalo, Iorio, Stankoven, Raty, Kirsanov, Schmidt.

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

What's caused Raty to drop so hard?

He's not very good. Probably tops out as a 3rd like center if you're lucky.

One of these prospects that was hyped a year prior that just flat lined and didn't really develop compared to his peers.

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

My hopes for 2nd round

Logan Stankoven
William Stromgren
Scotty Morrow
Nikita Chibrikov

My prediction is they take Stromgren if he's there and that Hank and Daniel make the selection "From Modo...."

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Drance hinted in his Day 1 recap that the Canucks have explored trading down in Round 2 to acquire more picks. We’ll see if that happens.

 

[DFAC]

 

[clay]

Guys I would be very happy with with the second:
Pinelli
Stankoven
Dach
Morrow

Guys I would be okay with:
Raty
Pastujov
Martino
Heimosalmi
Nause
Roulette
Winterton

 

[iceburg]

Is it just me or is Sam Constantino the spitting image of the Lion on the Wizard of Oz?

Just sayin...

 

[kcunac]

I'd support trading down to pick up Kirsanov in the late 2nd or early 3rd.

 

[Love]

I predict we draft Roman Schmidt

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

Just sayin...

Holy shit

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

I would be kinda pissed if we traded down with Pinelli/Stankoven/Raty on the board, but if there was ever a draft to trade down, this is the one.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Zellweger to the Ducks is a good pick

 

[StickShift]

I wouldn't be mad if they trade back and try to recoup picks.

This draft is so underscouted and volatile that the volume of picks is more important than the position of picks.
