[theYman]

Pellikka a dman ok I can get on board

 

[SimonEdvinssonAtSix]

Not mad.

 

[Shaman464]

I don't like this pick.

 

[Michael Brand Eggs]

They drafted a tiny child

 

[IceColdOx]

Friggin called it.

 

[Konnan511]

Solid pick. Big fan of Axel.

 

[ZDH]

Ok Barlow, Perreault, or Moore. Right?

(Wrong. Stevie knows no bounds.)

Wrong.

Stevie knows no bounds.

 

[lucaseider]

f***, I'm in the fetal position here.

 

[Winged Wheel Willy]

ASP, would’ve preferred a forward. But I can live with it.

 

[RRhoads]

Our defense is starting to look swede

 

[Realgud]

Ok hard to get behind this. I trust, but not a fan. Someone please check if Ogee is safe.

 

[DanielMarois]

Ew.

 

[lomekian]

Now trade up with the second rounders

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

Are we going to convert him to right wing?

This is definitely a gamble.

 

[ricky0034]

passing on Perreault too is kinda cringe but not as bad as I was expecting

 

[Barry Amsterdam]

Hahah i love it so much. After last years disaster this is going swimmingly

 

[The Red Line]

Ugh I just wanted to see some offense and we had so many chances at it!

 

[izlez]

I am Henkka’s lack of emotion based on the player.

Based on the 1st pick and players on the board, I am not happy

 

[Ezekial]

Hronek+ and 2nd for Hronek.

 

[Umingmak]

I like this pick. Addresses a desperate need at RD. Still wanted to see a skilled forward, but I'm happy with this. Didn't expect him to drop this far.

 

[IceColdOx]

Here's the ASP dossier

[Redwing66]

Now trade up with the second rounders

Please don’t - I need a break from any more selections today

 

[The Red Line]

Well our defense had better be great in a few years.

 

[Henkka]

DAMN.

Pellikka. Don't like.

Have to accepth.

Righty, though.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

They drafted a tiny child

He's 5'11" and 180 lbs as an 18 year old.
