GDT: Official Carolina Hurricanes 2013 Draft Bonanza Part II

[NotOpie]

Alright, I've calmed down a bit and have had time for a little reflection. I absolutely love our 1st pick in Elias Lindholm. He will be a star in this league. I really wished we had gotten something else back for the 2nd and McBain, but Sekera is on a good salary and if he stays healthy, he's absolutely an upgrade over Jamie. Our 3rd round selection is going to be a home run. Pesce is really underrated and is a solid stay at home guy. Still hoping we can make a few trades to get another pick or two.

 

[NotOpie]

Here's a guy we might want to look at for the 5th round - Brendan Burke, G, Portland Winterhawks.
2.65 GAA/9.08 Sve%

Yakimov joins Yakupov in Edmonton

 

[rocky7]

so-so/satisfactory results at best out of what was said to be the best draft in ten years. i guess we'll see how it all works out. at least they dodged the dreaded "russian factor" bullet.

oh well, there's still some possible trades and free agency coming up.

yes yes yes

I honestly like this option a lot, especially after Saros went off the board.

 

[Lucky Lindy]

Who will it be?

 

[Unsustainable]

Up next

 

[Unsustainable]

Pedersen?

 

[Lucky Lindy]

And soon we go again.

 

[vwg*]

I'm guessing we take a goalie

 

[Unsustainable]

On the clock

 

[Unsustainable]

T. Ganly

 

[Jussijuice]

Would have liked to see Yuen

 

[What the Faulk]

If they don't move back into the draft they're only going to have taken four players. Their least since 2002.

 

[vwg*]

A D-man from Sault Ste. Marie, right across the river from where I lived for a few years as a kid.

Would have liked to see Yuen

Surprised no one has drafted him.

And Greg Hofmann still hasn't been drafted yet.

 

[HisIceness]

So, we're done picking players this year yes?

 

[What the Faulk]

Unless they do something like trade Bowman for a 7th, yeah probably.

 

[DaveG]

so, baring a trade, that's our draft

Elias Lindholm
Brett Pesce
Brent Pedersen
Tyler Ganly
Andrej Sekera

Love our first two picks, still don't like the Sekera trade (think we overpaid) but I'm fine with bringing him in. Will be interesting to see what Ganly and Pedersen do next season when they're leaned on a bit more to produce by their junior teams.

 

[HisIceness]

Who is still available that the Canes might be interested in if anyone?

 

[DaveG]

Hofmann

but no seriously, would love to see us try and bring him back into the fold as a UFA

 

[HisIceness]

Ok, I'm sure I knew at some point, but someone fill me in on why Hoffman re-entered the draft. It was what, 2011 we picked him right?

 

[DaveG]

in short, he has the same agent that ****ed us over on Andersen and it happened again

 

[HisIceness]

So in the future, avoid players with that agent.

 

[DaveG]

exactly

 

[DaveG]

is it wrong that I'm feeling a bit of schadenfreude that Hofmann wasn't selected?
