2018 Draft Thread

Well I was hoping that they'd be able to get Merkley, but this Sandin character has some nice things written about him.

I've watched Merkley play for the Storm the last few years. That kid is going to be a very good NHL player IMO.

That may be but man oh man, I don't know if I've ever heard the people covering a draft speak as negatively about a player and his perception around the league.

Maybe you know what's up there but they sure made it sound like he spends his off-time strangling stray kittens.
 
Man, I really think Detroit is doing great with this draft. Added Berggren and McIsaac in the 2nd.

And it's Jett Woo to the Canucks.

He's a local kid, RHD, decent size. Apparently had some health stuff that contributed to him not being taken in his draft year.

Are we happy with this? I don't really know much about anyone in the draft this year.
 
DT: I know that Sean Durzi (21) has already been through a Draft but this kid made the biggest strides this year of ANY player in the Draft. His skill and offensive ability will fit in perfect in the new NHL & although he won't go until Saturday, he is a blue chip prospect.

Eh. I'm a little bummed that the guy I wanted the Leafs to take in the first round ended up getting taken one pick ahead of him in the second but really I don't know much about 2nd round picks either. I like that the Leafs seem to be taking some chances on high upside defensemen though.
 
So far, the cream of the crop out of all of these picks seems to be Sandin.

Sounds like the latter picks are the 'leftovers.'    :o

Aren't they all?

I mean, at the end of the day if any of these players were more than a shot at a dartboard then they'd be in the conversation in the first round at minimum.
 
Looks like someone called this shot from way back when
