GDT: The 2015 NHL Entry Level Draft: In L̶o̶u̶ Shero We Trust Edition

[ForeverJerseyGirl]

I would have been happy with any of the top forwards besides Crouse, so I'm pleased with Zacha. I think he'll need to go back to Sarnia next season to develop some more, but I think he can be a good player for us soon.

 

[Bleedred]

And we give the Flyers Provorov...

This pick sucks on multiple levels.

Yes because we absolutely need more defensemen!

We just drafted Crispin Glover.

"Take your hands off my puck."

Haha who said next they're gonna play the back to the future theme?

 

[MadDevil]

Big, skilled center? I'll take it.

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

I don't like the pick but i hope NJ will send him back to juniors

 

[Emperoreddy]

He is a big FAST kid that has a ton of scoring skill.

He TOTALLY fills a desperate need.

This coming from someone who wanted Barzal.

 

[Devils090]

Lol at people who are killing the pick, who else should we have taken? We need scoring and we need centers, this pick addresses both needs.

 

[NJDevils#4]

Hoping we get a Bobby Holik w better skating

 

[Richer's Ghost]

I was secretly hoping we'd trade back and take someone nobody is talking about - Timo Meier on RW.

 

[theoptimist]

Too bad we won't have any of the vet Czechs left by the time Zacha gets here

don't worry, he'll be on a line with Elias this season

 

[Jersey Fresh]

I don't like the pick but i hope NJ will send him back to juniors

No chance he's on the roster.

 

[gmangs]

Not bad, but I'd rather have seen a trade for help right now if Zacha isn't going to be able to make an impact soon.

 

[CerebralGenesis]

i really like this pick

great upside on offense and don't forget what he did to mcdavid in the playoffs even if his team lost

 

[AndThereGoesGrabner*]

Great pick!

This kid is a Getzlaf clone but meaner!

 

[HBK27]

Would've liked to have seen the Devils trade back, especially if Columbus was an option...but I think the Flyers really wanted Zacha (and the Provorov rumor was a smokescreen) and if the Devils had him higher than Barzal, Conner, etc. I'm good with the pick.

 

[Traitor Zach]

Zacha is a risk pick but he probably has the highest ceiling or room to improve. I want him at wing though with that speed and size. He could be lethal if he puts it together.

I think Shero still has a trade in his back pocket either to move back into the 1st or for a player.

 

[NJDevs26]

jesus why is everyone so ********?

I mean almost all of us wanted a forward that wasn't named Crouse or Kessel, but with all the talk about Provorov being on the level of the top picks we were greedy and hoping one of the other two forwards would get to us. Plus the top picks never usually go chalk, of course it was chalk this year.

Plus it sucks the Flyers get Provorov and the Canes get Hanifin, oh well.

100%!!!!!!

 

[Comparison Ford]

There were always going to be people who would've been mad at any of the players we chose in this spot. Just ignore them and party! We got our guy.

 

[BenedictGomez]

I'm happy with this pick.

Pavel Zacha is big, which you cant teach.

Pavel Zacha is speedy, which you cant teach.

Pavel Zacha has size and speed, which is rare.

Pavel Zacha is not Russian.

 

[Tundra]

This is the type of aggressive gamble that you take when you are in the devils position.

 

[tycobb]

Conte always got BPA. Not sure why people expected something else.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

no one better think he will be in NJ next year

send him back to Sarnia

 

[Richer's Ghost]

Yes because we absolutely need more defensemen!

Haha who said next they're gonna play the back to the future theme?

someone said that? LOL

What did they play? I was too busy to notice.

I hope so.

 

[Fear the Wushu]

How are all the other guys (except Strome) NHL ready but Zacha looks like he has more size and the body to play and people are saying he is not NHL ready
