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

[devilsblood]

Dang, next to Bettman, Davidson looks humongo!

 

[NJDevs26]

they clearly liked Zacha enough to just take him. like ive been saying they should do. just take the guy they like. and people here *****ing so hard its unreal

Honestly I think Zacha was the least polarizing guy of anyone they could have picked. People are just depressed we couldn't get Marner/Strome but honestly if you look at Zacha in a vaccum without worrying about who everyone else got I'm fine with the pick.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Got the prospect thread up for Zacha talk.

Also NO ONE has congratulated Chicago.

He could be a top 3 pick in almost any other draft. You know I was a Barzal guy, but Zacha is easily our best prospect by a mile right now.

 

[vtdevils2k]

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.

Im thinking the same thing.

 

[NorwegianDevil]

Jack or Zach?..

Thank god the endless debate in the draft thread can finally end.

It's just beginning...the comparisons with Zacha/Provorov/Barzal are going to go on ad infiniteum.

 

[SeidoN]

Barzal is dropping.

not really. everyone is going pretty much where expected so far

 

[Traitor Zach]

Barzal is dropping.

He could go soon in the next three or four picks. The injury and lack of scoring hurts him a bit.

 

[Czech Trio]

With Zacha snatched up its time to focus on 36 and 41. Wouldn't mind exploring trading up back into the mid 1st otherwise I think we can get 2 real nice players tomorrow.

 

[JimEIV]

I like Werenski a lot.

So cute. Like him a lot already

 

[MadDevil]

Hey, we have another Zach...kind of.

 

[devilsblood]

I miss JD as a broadcaster. He was great.

No offense to Eddie O, but the drop off is pretty big.

 

[Zippy316]

It seemed like the Devils were debating trading back to 8 to allow Columbus to move up but the scouts did not want to take the risk of Zacha being drafted by the Flyers.

 

[Bleedred]

someone said that? LOL

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

I noticed jurrasic park and the avengers theme.

They played born to run before our pick.

 

[mike30]

no zacha interview? does he speak english?

 

[Emperoreddy]

They interviewed Zacha twice too. Shero, Conte and company must of really liked something in there too.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

did they not interview Shero/Zacha?

 

[Emperoreddy]

did they not interview Shero/Zacha?

They didn't. NBC hates us.

 

[Burner Account]

Zacha's agent is Patrik Stefan HAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHA

 

[Davegarri]

If you want him to be a star you let him develop properly in the OHL. He's nowhere near ready, he cant play on the smaller ice yet. Give him a taste at the beginning of the year, even if he plays well send him down.

He will bust if we rush him
