Perfetti needs to go soon. I'd like to see Sabres take him. Give @Steve Tasker some hope. 

 

[Northern Voice]

@charlieo_conn: Holtz is gonna be good. But I think the Flyers are lucky that Marco Rossi isn't going to New Jersey.

Holtz chose 88 because of an ice cream bar and his family members were not svelte. He's a RW and a pure sniper. Knowing nothing at all about him, I'm declaring him the next Phil Kessel and putting him on my list of guys to watch. 

 

[Northern Voice]

Quinn before Rossi and Perfetti doesn't make a ton of sense to me but what do I know. 

 

[falguy]

So the kids must have hats and jerseys from multiple teams and just grab the correct one after they're picked?

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Rossi will look good in Sharks teal in 3-4 years.

I saw a story that Byfield or Sanderson or someone had one for all 31 teams.

Yep, I read today Sanderson had one from every team ready (and he was clearly going top 8 at worst)

Pretty optimistic by the Stars.  Although I suppose you never know what trades could happen. 

 

[falguy]

Nice touch by the Jets! 

 

[falguy]

The Score app has a contest to predict the top 10 selections.  

How bad am I going to do?

1. Alexis Lafrenière
   
2. Quinton Byfield
   
3. Tim Stutzle
   
4. Marco Rossi
   
5. Jamie Drysdale
   
6. Lucas Raymond
   
7. Cole Perfetti
   
8. Jake Sanderson
   
9. Yaroslav Askarov
   
10. Anton Lundell
    

Well I got 8 players right.

I knew Askarov wasn't making it Toronto but damn it would have been nice. 

Time for Dubas to trade pick 15 to Anaheim for Manson.

Charlie or Marilyn?

 

[bicycle_seat_sniffer]

Lucas Raymond, what are the wings getting there?

 

[JaxBill]

@BroadStHockey: In a unique twist, the first goalie taken is compared to Carey Price. Who woulda thunk it.

 

[IC FBGCav]

Back to back bad picks for Canes.

 

[IC FBGCav]

who canes taking?

 

[JaxBill]

Lucas Raymond, what are the wings getting there?

Pronman’s thoughts: In Raymond, the Wings get the fourth-best player on the board at No. 4. His skill level is right at the top of the draft with Lafreniere, he’s a game-breaker with his hands and playmaking. Due to his size and just fine skating, he will need time to physically develop, but there is no doubting the elite offense he could bring to the table. He becomes an extremely important part of the Wings’ rebuild and someone who could run their first power play with time.

I guess better than getting compared to Elliott or Bishop.

 

[IC FBGCav]

Jarvis

 

[RUSF18]

I fully admit to knowing nothing about Askarov but taking a goalie there just seems nuts to me when so many good goalies have nowhere near that kind of draft pedigree especially when compared to all other positions.

Goalies are voodoo, man.

TOR LOL

Positive comparisons to Vasilevskiy, who was the previous high water mark for a Russian goalie. I think there's room in the first round for the Samsonov, Hart, etc... types

 

[falguy]

Leafs with an interesting pick.

Habs take mercer or Lapierre imo.

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Someone just reminded me of the legend that is Evgeni Ryabchikov, and I don't have nearly enough beer left to overcome that.

@Sportsnet: Mitch Marner and Morgan Rielly announce the @MapleLeafs 15th overall pick, Rodion Amirov!

[Northern Voice]

Toronto took a small guy with lots of skill, can't be surprised. I have tons of faith in Dubas as a drafter (see: Nick Robertson), I just wish once Askarov was gone they found a way to trade it for immediate back end help. 

 

[ConstruxBoy]

Every time the Sabres screw something else up, I get more angry at Brett Hull. Pretty furious at him at this point.

@SWhyno: Flames trade No. 19 pick to Rangers for No. 22 pick and No. 72 pick.

Love it. 

Assuming Rangers taking the Lafreniere/Lapierre combo. And Flames add another pick later and probably get who they want anyway.

Schneider.

Basically the Sabres just drafted Mike Mamula.

Sabres are a final 4 EC team this year.

 

[JaxBill]

@charlieo_conn: Wow, the Rangers traded up to jump the Devils to take Braden Schneider. I figured he was going to Jersey.

[falguy]

Lumbus goes so far off the board that no analyst has anything to say about him. 

 

[JaxBill]

Draft pundits trying their best to find comparable Arabic Russian forwards for Shakir Mukhmadullin

 

[Northern Voice]

 No one on the Sportsnet panel has ever heard of the guy Columbus just took at 21 overall - Yegor Chinakov. 30th rated EUROPEAN skater for the draft.

 

[Northern Voice]

Why aren't these teams trading down?

 

[falguy]

smart trade by Calgary. Dropped 3 spots got a 3rd round pick and almost certainly get the same guy they wanted anyway. 

 

[Northern Voice]

@MarkSeidel 2m

Chinakov? Seriously? I have a lot of faith in Jarmo Kekalainen but this is the biggest shock of a 1st round pick in 20 years. I got nothing. Absolutely nothing on this guy. I love the honesty of Sam & Futes. I'd have said the same thing.

 

[Dickie Dunn]

I need someone to post the Sportsnet reaction. Sounded like it was priceless.

22 for 24 and 80.

Master class by the Flames. Especially when Shakir and Chinakov are going. 

 

[JaxBill]

Caps jumping Flyers. Flyers obviously eyeing a forward 

 

[Zegras11]

Flames must really like the 3rd round

@avappleyard: .@SmahtScouting actually have a scouting report for Chinakhov from @JoshTessler_.

So have a read... since you probably wont be reading that much about him elsewhere @BlueJacketsNHL fans! #NHL

Comparison

Tanner Pearson, Left Wing, Vancouver Canucks

Comparison

Tanner Pearson, Left Wing, Vancouver Canucks

Tanner Pearson was an over-ager once upon a time ago and like Chinakhov, Pearson has a dominant shot. Pearson does possess a stronger defensive game and better physicality, so Chinakhov is off the mark there. But, if Chinakhov can improve his defense, physicality and skating, he could resemble Pearson.
