I think New Jersey lost the draft by not drafting Miroslav Satan Jr

San Jose won by far.

Underrated pick: Winnipeg. For a team that didn't have much draft capital, I felt like they got good value.

 

[HisIceness]

Seems like Calgary did well

 

[FinPanda]

San Jose crushed it even on day 2 so them easily

 

[Terry Yake]

sharks coming away with celebrini and dickinson makes them the clear winner

 

[Sasha Orlov]

San Jose and Montreal are the winners imo

 

[WhatTheDuck]

People have their opinions on the Sennecke pick but I think the Ducks ended up with a heck of a haul overall. Solberg, Masse, Tarin Smith and Uljanskis all seem like great value picks.

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

Sens imho are in the middle leaning more towards lose than win.

 

[SI90]

Everybody except the leafs. Now go enjoy your summers!!

Edmonton focused on overagers with their later picks and most not even coming off good seasons.
Their first 2 picks are okay and they had one okay late pick. The rest are essentially throw aways so I’ll give them a C-

If I were a Montreal fan, I'd be super happy landing Demidov who was arguably the 2nd best guy in the draft.

With that said - It's incredibly unfortunate we won't be seeing Demidov centered by Michkov. That could have been a franchise defining duo.

A whole lot of meh for Oilers.
Understandable considering the mindset of the team.

 

[Fire Sweeney]

Bruins traded Ullmark for a poor man's Joel Prpic

 

[JurassicTunga]

W's for Calgary, Montreal, San Jose

 

[Beauterham]

As a Blues fan I absolutely love how Carolina took on this draft. If we take out the Poirier pick, which I wasn't a fan of, I feel like they got tremendous value out of every other pick they made.

 

[ViD]

Utah is doing pretty well with draft picks and trades

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

I liked Calgary Minnesota and San Jose off the top of my head

Montreal had a good 1st round

Liked Anaheim’s overall draft

Obviously I'm biased, but SJ may have walked out of this draft with 5 or 6 legit NHL pieces.

 

[Osakahaus]

Islanders pretty much did fine for their draft. B+

Ya that was a stupid good draft for San Jose

 

[Half Clapper]

Skahan, Lavoie, and Vaisanen are good value for Utah. After taking two forwards on day 1, they went d heavy today and took 6 D-man.

It's not like they even had to do anything. Guys like Dickinson, Chern, Wall and Roberts just sort of fell to them.

Sometimes it’s best to not overthink it …. And just take the guys that fall to you

I feel like minnasota has kinda had that happen to them for a few years

 

[AuraSphere]

Stepping away from Solberg reminds me of how I felt when we traded the konecny pick when he was obvious bpa

Lets see.. lol

Well, they were proactive with Zeev and took advantage of a stupid Philly team who indeed DID overthink it.
