[Mrb1p]

Probably not a wise pick then.

I cant tell if this is a jake youre trying to do.

 

[The Great Weal]

Probably not a wise pick then.

At this point, it's a wise idea to jake him. One of my worst one's right there.

 

[Habs76]

NY Rangers pick F Jay O'Brien from Thayer High School.

O'Brien is skilled, smart and competitive. Good on faceoffs, plays a complete, responsible game and wins battles out of sheer hard work. Will join Providence next season.

[yoteshot]

Is there anybody I can send my pick to if by the time I go to bed Doublechin still hasn't picked? I don't want to slow this thing down.

If you are picking soon you can send it to me.

 

[yoteshot]

Well, I'll wait a bit since we're at 50 and I'm 51, but when I decide to leave, I'll just give it to you

 

[calder candidate]

You've made 5 picks and I have yet to make one

I'm in the same situation...

 

[sandviper]

I just PM’d @Doublechin

 

[NotProkofievian]

Sleeper pick right dere.

I don't know how to scout a guy playing such shit tier hockey. Like, should it look like an old bruce lee film, where he's just crushing and endless swarm of idiots with dekes and physicality?

This is why I try to keep some restraint when comparing him. Like he looks good but he's not roasting fools BBQ style, ala McDavid.

What I do know, is you don't notice much of a drop-off against much tougher competition, atleast it's not a case where he looks like a different player against USHL and Div-1 teams. He does need to get stronger however, as he got pushed over along the boards by college guys. Though that's pretty normal.

Which games did he play with the U18 team?

 

[G0bias]

Which games did he play with the U18 team?

He played against Central Illinois, Omaha, Michigan State, Darthmouth and Harvard. Though only the first three I could find for some reason. And there's the all-american prospects game.

Were these all on hockeytv? Or is the all-american prospects game on dat dere youtubez?

I saw the first three and the prospects game on hockeytv. Darthmouth and Harvard games I couldn't find, though they might've been on some other channel.

Prospects game was on YT for a while, don't know if it got taken down.

 

[Doublechin]

Flyers are proud to select from the Drummondville Voltigeurs, Nicolas Beaudin.

 

[yoteshot]

​

I was nervous I wouldn't get him, especially with the comments in this thread, but the Kings are happy to select Jake Wise from the USNTDP.

There are many things in Jake's game that we feel will translate well in the NHL, namely his speed, tenacity and playmaking skills. We feel like at the very worst, his vision and passing skills alone could make him a PP weapon in the NHL, but his defensive awareness and high motor should make him a complete player for us. Going to Boston University where he'll be a key cog of the offense should help him develop into a top 6 player at the next level.​

 

[calder candidate]

Was the next guy PM?

 

[Le Barron de HF]

I just did

 

[yoteshot]

Yes he was, sorry, was on mobile this morning so I didn't feel like editing my message.

[Andrei79]

Which games did he play with the U18 team?

Theres also the fall classic.

 

[OriginalCanadian]

Of course Jake was picked right before me...

At 52nd overall Toronto selects Jakub Lauko from Pirati Chomutov...

Date of Birth: March 28th 2000 (18)
Place of Birth: Praha, Czech Republic
Ht: 6'1" Wt: 185lbs
Shoots: Left
Position: LW

Lauko is most effective on the rush, where he can utilize his foot speed and excellent acceleration. He has shown in the past that he has offensive talent, we only hope that he can continue to find it on a more consistent basis. If he can bulk up and work on his physical game he can become a very effective winger in today's NHL.

Draft so far.
25th: Jared McIsaac
52nd: Jakub Lauko
