Yeah, crushed. Gifted Dvorsky and instead take an overager. I'm sure he'll play and be a solid guy, but we had the chance to get our top line center and we passed. Hopefully we get Barlow or Wood at 17

There's a reason they're up there making the picks and we're not.

 

[Leibinger6]

I just hope this isn’t a heavy sacrifice of need over BPA

 

[Hoog]

Very solid pick. Kid will be 2C or 2 Wing. Great skater, solid 2 way, and tough. Now at 17 another big body who can score, Wood?

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

If you want a guy that has 200ft game, good offensive skills, you want Danielson.

He was surrounded by either young talent, or crap older talent.

 

[ZDH]

Because of Seider? Kasper, Edvinsson and even Raymond are still question marks.

Pfffffffffff.

You freaked out on the Seider pick just like you are doing now.

Kasper and Edvinsson look like total studs, Raymond goes #2/3 in most redrafts. What are we doing here?

 

[RabidBadger]

You

Dont hate it, wanted him and benson with 9 and 17 but it's a safe pick. Its fine.

Might get them in reverse.

If wood can somehow be kept at C he would be a major steal in the mid 1st round

You need to watch Wood play

 

[Henkka]

Willander is great, but man, does he just go too high.

This will leave again some very nice forwards to 17th.

- Benson
- Moore
- Pellikka (D)
- Wood
- Yager
- Sale
- Perreault

all available.

I don’t see how Kasper and Edvinsson looks like studs. They look ok. And yes, as good as Seider is (though he took a step back last year), still would have way rather had Zegras

 

[ZDH]

Danielson played with zero help. Like none his team was trash. That changes things and obviously the wings took that into account. They could've had him at 6 or 7 for all we know.

 

[Petes2424]

If he didn’t play for Brandon, he would’ve been talked about much more. He was it. All they had up front. He wasn’t going to be there at 17. He would’ve went to STL right after. I preferred Dvorsky but not by much.

 

[The Flying Octopus]

I see a lot of HF Wings posters just found WiFi for the first time in over a year….

 

[jaster]

EDIT: Thought is was the Ras draft. Beer. My bad.

Lol, I was about to come at you bruh!

 

[Ezekial]

This kid seems like he could become a Dylan Larkin clone.

Dude.....

Zegras over Seider is barf

 

[HoweFan]

Yep th

trust the Yzerplan.. everyone acted the same way with Seider

Thats the way you have to look at it. I’m more disappointed that Willander went so soon after. I was hoping for him at 17

 

[izlez]

Had Danielson at 5 so obviously pretty hyped here

Appreciate the rankings not influenced by others. At first I saw some things I liked but the more I saw was not a fan at all. Hope I find more to like the more I watch

 

[Ulysses31]

dogs killing it IMO

 

[Winged Wheel Willy]

YES, Moore and Benson falling

 

[Realgud]

The Loko boys together lmao

 

[DanielMarois]

Now go off the board Stevie and take Jayden Perron at 17.

 

[izlez]

Dammmmmit I wanted But
