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

[TheUnseenHand]

I don't mind really. I don't mind not going after guys with skating concerns. No more Bouchers....

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

Good trade and pick by Philly

 

[MauDevils]

Who are the players we should be targeting (hoping for) w our 2nd's?

Anthony Beauvillier is who I'm hoping for.

 

[Czech Trio]

Konecny to Philly

Barzal to NYI

sigh. 2 players who I would have loved to trade up for

Not that angry. I'm actually happy we didn't take Barzal. He is still a great prospect but A LOT of teams passed on him.

 

[Devils Dominion]

Philly having a great draft

 

[ForeverJerseyGirl]

Ok enough with the American bias. We get it...

I know. I'm as proud of how much hockey has progressed as anyone, but this is just getting nauseating.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

I am quite annoyed about Barzal. Not so much missing him as him going to the Isles.

 

[Devils Army]

I hope he isn't good for the Flyers, I hate them so much

 

[NJDevs26]

Not that angry. I'm actually happy we didn't take Barzal. He is still a great prospect but A LOT of teams passed on him.

Boston doesn't count as a 'lot' of teams

 

[Devilsgrl35]

I'm so glad somebody wasn't stupid enough to trade a 1st for Talbot.

 

[SKNJD9]

the trade ups will start when the cupboard has been stocked a bit...need to get it full before burning assets. It's a process.

 

[AfroThunder396]

Who are the players we should be targeting (hoping for) w our 2nd's?

I still want to take Brandon Carlo if he's on the board, raw defenseman with potential through the roof.

Paul Bittner, Jeremy Bracco, Dennis Yan, Tom Novak, and Jordan Greenway are forwards I would look at if they're available.

 

[Czech Trio]

There will be a day when NJ plays NYI and a lose puck goes is in the neutral zone. Barzal will swoop down with his great speed and with his great passing skills but before that -- Zacha will fly in lay him out, take the puck and rip one top shelf. Hopefully.

 

[MauDevils]

I don't mind really. I don't mind not going after guys with skating concerns. No more Bouchers....

I don't see this skating concern on any of his prospect pages...It has him listed as breakaway speed and even this...

He was voted Best Skater and ranked second for Best Stickhandler in a poll of the OHL’s Eastern Conference coaches for the 2014-15 regular season.

 

[NJDevs26]

Agreed (although I still would have been happy with moving up for Barzal or Connor, it was probably too big a leap for us) plus you have to have something other teams want. Edmonton wanted Griffin Reinhart since they were very familiar with him from playing four seasons there in the WHL.

 

[Devils Trap]

Damn. Wanted Roslovic in the 2nd round

 

[NJDevs26]

I'm so glad somebody wasn't stupid enough to trade a 1st for Talbot.

Supposedly it was offered lol...Sather's still in win-now mode though.

 

[Brodeur]

Shero talking face to face with somebody. Can't see the other guy's face though.

 

[Kensu]

hm.. wonder what Merkley did wrong in the interviews.

 

[Zelmo]

I am quite annoyed about Barzal. Not so much missing him as him going to the Isles.

THIS! I dropped a HUUUUGE F bomb when the Isles picked him.

 

[Team Concept]

Agreed. I don't see anyone worth giving the ranch for to move up. Lets stay where we are and pick up Sprong, Vince Dunn, Jack Roslovic, or Anthony Beauvillier.

Great, there goes Roslovic. 1 gone and now only 3 left.

 

[EnglishDevil]

Interesting pick

 

[Devils Dominion]

Trade our 2nds for Merkley

 

[Team Concept]

Its probably Lou.

 

[Devils Trap]

Shero talking face to face with somebody. Can't see the other guy's face though.

Im guessing Bergevin
