GDT: Official Draft Day Thread 2014

[Zirakzigil]

Good pick for them. So do we trade for Ritchie now? We were in talks with the Canes.

 

[MonahanTheMan]

I'm going to get slammed, but I think Bennett will come in and be the #1C on this team this year, strictly out of necessity. I think he's even more ready to play as the #1C than Monahan, honestly, and we need to give him top six minutes sooner than later.

"Well, James, we saw how he disappeared in the playoffs this year and knew he'd be a good fit here." -Benning

 

[MonahanTheMan]

Oh God LOL they took Virtanen

Good **** Vancouver

Are you sure you aren't already slammed?

 

[Ynnek]

Flames pushed hard for the Canes #7 last night apparently. Could see that talk starting up again if Ritchie is still there?

I may be hometown Biased but a later first could get Barbashev.

[DCDM]

Virtanen.

This day is the best.

 

[LiquidSnake]

Thanks. Im not sure where the Nucks go, skill or size? Will be interesting. Virtanen?

Yup Virtanen it is. Stay tuned I guess

 

[TheHudlinator]

Are you sure you aren't already slammed?

I know I am

 

[BVicious]

Hilarious. Jake and hunter won't be as good as everyone thinks

 

[Yung Rotini]

They went with Virtanen over Ehlers, Nylander

have another one

 

[TheHudlinator]

Virtanen.

IDK he is going to be a ***** to play against.

 

[MonahanTheMan]

Are you sure you aren't already slammed?

I wish

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

Not a bad pick.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Actually surprised the Nucks didn't take Nylander, but they wanted some truculence and a dynamic scorer.

 

[Taranis]

This draft is going pretty standard eh?

I'd of the opinion Bennett's the only player in the top four who returns to junior. Remember, Burke favours sending prospects back to juniors unless they're absolutely phenomenal. I'm sure Treliving shares that opinion, to some degree at least.

 

[MonahanTheMan]

If he ever gets to the NHL.

 

[Yung Rotini]

Benning I don't care

That's true, I'd forgotten that was generally Burke's ethic.

 

[Yung Rotini]

Haydn Fleury. Good pick for the 'Canes.

 

[Calculon]

And there goes Fleury.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Congrats Canes, so jealous!
