GDT: Preseason game 2 Bruins vs Rangers 7 PM MSG

holy f*** that's a rocket

I have some prominent connections in hockey, I intern with one of the best programs in hockey and I also work with one of the best NCAA programs. I’ve had this opinion, and people I’ve spoke to, actual NHL scouts, have agreed with my take on Othmann. I’m honestly surprised NYR selected him as he’s the antithesis of our typical style of drafting. I’ve also said that he’s the kind of prospect bad teams get tricked into drafting high.

I mean Bob McKenzie's had him 16, and Bob's list is compiled exclusively through polling scouts and GMs. ISS had him 18, Button had him 17, McKeen's had him 22, and the CSS had him 8th among NA skaters. I don't doubt that what you've heard is, well, what you've heard, but it's pretty undeniable that a lot of other people had him right where he was picked. It's fair to not like the pick, but it wasn't off the board or out of the blue.

Just get a shot ffs

 

[Shesterkybomb]

What a bomb

 

[Hunter Gathers]

why does no one want to put themselves in position to shoot?

Paju heard this and said he's got it.

 

[Raspewtin]

f*** off dude

 

[Machinehead]

Holy f*** does Paju have a f***ing bomb of a shot. That's like Zib level heavy.

Reminds me of Brian Rolston

 

[CasusBelli]

More Pajuniemi please.

 

[TJHKY]

Schneider is looking good!

 

[RangersFan]

0 shots on goal on that 5 on 3, 1 post

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Is Paju going to play in the AHL this year or back in Finland?

 

[Lays]

Love Pajuniemi’s shot but don’t think he has the all around game to be more than a Euro star similar to Pulkinnen

 

[Vitto79]

More Pajuniemi please.

he’s gonna be a legit option if injuries occur

 

[Harbour Dog]

Is Paju going to play in the AHL this year or back in Finland?

AHL

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Reminds me of Brian Rolston

That's a great (and unexpected) comp for his shot. Yeah. Absolute rocket when he gets all of it.

Bob only polls 10 NHL scouts and it’s well known that a NYR scout is one of them.

How much would it cost to get Bezos to launch Bitteto into space?

ahl so hopefully he crushes it

 

[will1066]

Gallant must've said to pick up the pace

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Othmann was picked approximately where he was rated by virtually every mock. Nothing terribly wrong with the pick but didn’t make great sense to me simply because the Rangers are stocked with wingers and Othmann wasn’t ranked head and shoulders ahead of the centers who were picked in the same area of the draft.

Was thinking the same thing as to why they didn't take a center.

 

[pld459666]

holy f*** that's a rocket

Was coming here to express the same.

If he gets that shot off on a regular down in Hartford, he's going to have a nice total at years end.

Thats wicked

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Ears are still ringing from that cross bar.

Jesus.

Oh well I guess Bob's list and everything else I posted is therefore irrelevant.

 

[Crease]

Jones > Schneider > Miller > Lundkvist

There was talk of Miller winning the Calder early last season. Seems way too early to try to rank these guys.

 

[Speedtrials]

Wow he ripped that one timer
