[Ohashi_Jouzu*]

I know who that is after a minute of Googling And come on, he wasn't that bad

You got on that right away too, huh?

 

[Whitesnake]

I know who that is after a minute of Googling And come on, he wasn't that bad

Was suppose to be much better.... I will always remember that he was going to be part of the new big three....

 

[Grant McCagg]

Sorry to hear that Grant. All the best.

Thanks. A day I've been dreading for awhile. The worst is over.

 

[WeThreeKings]

You're welcome. I was hesitating real hard between him......and a kid who has some kind of ties with the Habs history....not exactly the "greatest" history though....There's PLENTY of very great possibilities.....but I don't have a 6th rounder....

Gadouray and Hickey were the tops of my list. Now I have to go in a complete different direction. Oh well.

 

[Whitesnake]

Thanks. A day I've been dreading for awhile. The worst is over.

All the best Grant. Days like that are never easy.

 

[JHabs]

First off - my condolences to you Grant, I too just recently had to put down an old friend of 10 years. Was extremely hard time - thoughts to you & your family.

Washington Capitals select with the 134th pick

From the Frolunda Indians ....William Lagesson

A self-proclaimed dedicated two-way d-man who favors defense first, you can't help but love his size and physical prowess. He also has an offensive touch that could definitely develop into something more in the long run - overall I love his potential.

next GM pmd.

 

[Account Terminated]

Another one gone from my shortlist...

With the 135th selection in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, the Dallas Stars are proud to select from Janesville Jets of the NAHL, Goaltender, Logan Halladay.

.

"Halladay is an athletic goaltender who also pays attention to the subtleties of the game. A great puckhandler and passer to go along with flexibility and a NHL frame. Logan dedicates himself to a rigid regiment of training off the ice. His devotion to becoming a pro is something we admire. He is very intense in the net and is often the most engaged person on the ice. We are delighted to watch his progress as his future has him dedicated to the University of Minnesota.

 

[Mathletic]

damn, I was hoping Halladay would fly under the radar the whole way. Kid looks like he has some talent. Looking forward watching him play for Minnesota U.

...

condolences to you Grant. Had my cat for 4 years and would very sad to lose that presence. Must be hard losing an old-time friend like this.

With the 136th overall pick in the draft, the Detroit Red Wings are proud to select, from the WHL's Kootenay Ice, winger, Jaedon Descheneau

Descheneau is a little offensive dynamo. He possesses nearly every desirable trait - except for size. He's equally as likely to dangle around a defender and go bar down as he is to score a garbage goal. Descheneau thinks the game at an exceptionally high level and owns outstanding playmaking ability. He's a dedicated player and has improved every aspect of his game substantially. Descheneau's lightning quick hands and amazing edge work make him insanely difficult to contain. Despite his undersized frame, he's surprisingly hard to knock off the puck and is extremely smart with his body positioning and stick work. Descheneau must continue to improve his skating ability and consistency. Sometimes he has a tendency to float and get complacent without the puck.

I'm not going to lie, I absolutely hated Descheneau's game last season and even early into this season. I saw him as an undersized player with average skating ability, mediocre shooting ability, and little-to-no desire to involve himself in the play when things got tough. I was wrong. This season changed my opinion on him dramatically. I still think that he has a lot of work to do, but the upside is undeniable. His development curve is essentially exponential and his production has just been insane since January 2013: 0.63 GPG and 1.42 PPG. My home run pick of the draft.

Picks
15th: Robby Fabbri
76th: Connor Chatham
106th: Aaron Irving
136th: Jaedon Descheneau

 

[Habitants]

with the 137 selection, Oilers are proud to select forward Jake Evans

 

[NLHabsFan]

**** guys, I'm sorry, I'm late for work. 2 seconds.

 

[NLHabsFan]

With the 138th pick, Philadelphia is proud to select from Rouyn-Noranda of the QMJHL, Forward Julien Nantel.

Julien is a strong skater that has a good IQ to play in all three zones. When he has the puck he knows how to use his body to protect it well. He possesses a quick release with good velocity. He needs to continue his consistency and effort, especially away from the puck.

 

[Whitesnake]

With the 135th selection in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, the Dallas Stars are proud to select from Janesville Jets of the NAHL, Goaltender, Logan Halladay.

Hey...FU 2. Was going with him with my last pick. But it's fine....I'M probaby picking in 20 days so I have time...

 

[Whitesnake]

Washington Capitals select with the 134th pick

From the Frolunda Indians ....William Lagesson

Great pick indeed. I missed him for some kind of odd reasons...This guy should be picked way before this actual rank.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Hey...FU 2. Was going with him with my last pick. But it's fine....I'M probaby picking in 20 days so I have time...

Hope the Habs take a look at him. Long term development ahead but kid is dedicated

 

[General Fanager]

With the 139th pick, The San Jose Sharks are pleased to select, from The London Knights Christian Dvorak.

 

[Account Terminated]

With the 140th pick, the Minnesota Wild select centre Ryan Foss!

"Hard work, determination and a fire lit under his ass is what got him here. Passed over twice by the OHL draft, Foss signed with Windsor and has impressed. He's went from 5'11 and 150 lbs to 6'3 and 185 lbs in just a few years and has played well for Windsor. At this point, the risk is little and the reward could be phenomenal!"​

 

[Mathletic]

With the 141st pick, the Los Angeles Kings select, from Kimball Union Academy, forward,

Tyler Bird

...

Power winger who drives the net hard and has a wicked release on a heavy, accurate shot. Uses his body effectively out front and in the corners; working on improving quickness in his first three steps, but has impressive NHL upside. Brown recruit, as yet unsure whether he’ll play there next fall or in 2015.

...

Taking a shot at this point. Kid is a good athlete, still has a long way to go before he reaches the big show. Commited to Brown University.

...

Really like this pick. Near the top of my back-up list from my last pick.

 

[Whitesnake]

If a Mod could upgrade the first page, it would be well appreciated....Use that page a lot to know who is gone....Thanks.

 

[NLHabsFan]

Dvorak and Foss were two guys I were debating on (along with one more) before choosing Nantel.
