@Fozz is up

 

[G0bias]

Wasn't planning on taking players I had already picked previously but at this point, I just couldn't pass up on him.

Nope. He's a second round talent.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

There were definitely more good D left in the early third than I expected.

I actually thought Ragnarsson was going to drop to me & went one spot before!

That's good news for Montreal. We have 5 picks in 2nd-3rd. I expect no less than 3 centers & 2D.

Man, Bergevin/Timmins better not f*** this up.

He went one spot before me last time.

But I did have Wahlstrom, Sandin, McLaughlin, Hillis, Iskhakov and Morozov as my picks. So still pretty good.

 

[Fozz]

The NY Rangers pick Swedish forward Albin Eriksson.

Hulking winger shows good speed and balance for such a big kid. Has huge reach and a decent shot. Strong forechecker with some offensive skills and good upside. Another interesting project for the Rangers.

9 - Quinn Hughes, LD, USA, University of Michigan, NCAA
28 - Ty Dellandrea, C, CAN, Flint Firebirds, OHL
29 - Serron Noel, RW, CAN, Oshawa Generals, OHL

Good haul for NYR. Three 1sts definitely help but nice get nonetheless. Eriksson was among my short list here.

[Mrb1p]

Damn are you dense brooo

 

[NotProkofievian]

Damn are you dense brooo

Yes. Please help me.

 

[Mrb1p]

Yes. Please help me.

You @ the team that traded the pick to the team that was supposed to pick.

 

[NotProkofievian]

You @ the team that traded the pick to the team that was supposed to pick.

Was there a trade? I thought we were going with the pick order that's on the first page. It said Nashville, so I atted Natey.

It was Colorado (from nashville), you @nashvilles GM, Natey, instead of Colorados gm, Toene.

 

[NotProkofievian]

I could've sworn it just said Nashville. Now it says Colorado (Nashville). @Chris Cutter is gas-lighting me.

Lol I'm innocent regarding that but I did go derp mode with the title, my bad everyone

 

[G0bias]

You contenders and your damn reading problems.

With pick #72, the New York Islanders are happy to select from the HIFK (Liiga), Niklas Nordgren, RW.

A diminutive forward, Niklas is a highly skilled winger who has been crushing the Finnish junior league. He possesses decent hockey IQ, good stickhandling and is relatively responsible defensively for such a young player. Earlier in the year, our scouts had concerns about his skating, but were pleased that he has seemingly improved in this area when we watched him during the U18's.

NYI Picks thus far:
11. Vitali Kravtsov
12. Brady Tkachuk
41. Jesse Ylonen
43: Liam Foudy
72: Niklas Nordgren

@Mrb1p PM'd.

I swear man, you literally take the players I would have taken. It was literally Nordgren or my guy. Get out my mind m8.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Pretty sure Der Arguchintsev and Nordgren are two of the last good players left.
