2019 NHL Offseason Thread - Evander Gets Lightweight Suspension (1 Viewer)

[Dickie Dunn]

My buddy picked first and took Florida. I went Wild/Avalanche, he went Calgary. We'll see. My 4th team would have been Vegas. 

I wouldn't be shocked if Florida takes him.

 

[JaxBill]

Podkolzin off the board. Saves Fletcher the chore of getting out the 10 foot pole to avoid the KHL player.

 

[ffldrew]

Finally a trade - Yotes move up. 

Sakic has to be smiling with pick 16 coming and still good forward talent out there.

 

[JaxBill]

I like the Flyers trade. Roughly 4 even picks. Trade back to get the 2nd round pick you foolishly traded away earlier.

 

[Dickie Dunn]

I'm less confident of this now with the way guys are sliding back after the Seider/Broberg jumps into the top eight.

Turns out to be a good move - although Soderstrom is a decent D man in the film I've seen.

 

[Bill Brasky]

better be Caufield here

Boldy

How did it become tradition to announce your pick as "from the US National development program, Jack Hughes" instead of the normal way of just saying the name of the guy you're picking, followed by their league/school?

You didn't hear "from Duke University, Zion Williamson" last night.

 

[Bill Brasky]

Boldy

size discrimination 

 

[ffldrew]

Thank god Knight is gone - that was way too tempting for Super Joe

I blame Pierre

And one of Caufield, Krebs will be there for their next pick. This has played out beautifully for Colorado.

And can take Hunter Jones later

 

[RUSF18]

Anyone else lose count of how many orgasms this broadcast crew just had while describing this Knight kid?

 

[JaxBill]

*Sigh* 

Why not Caufield?

 

[Bill Brasky]

this is embarrassing for all non-US countries

 

[AcerFC]

I like Trouba, but if he doesnt re sign and Caufield still there at 20, that would be a bummer

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Caufield to Montreal make so much sense now that I hate everyone.

 

[Bill Brasky]

of course Montreal is the one team not afraid to take the tiny guy

 

[ffldrew]

And the Avs get Krebs or Newhook at Center?

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood 

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Montreal really drafts a lot of American players. 

 

[Dickie Dunn]

of course Montreal is the one team not afraid to take the tiny guy

Might actually improve their average height.

 

[Bill Brasky]

is there a Canadian player draft later or something?

 

[RUSF18]

That kid looked a little short.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

That kid looked a little short.

Scored more goals than his height in inches

 

[JaxBill]

The year is 2022 and Cole Caufield head fakes twice and  dangles around Cam York for a highlight reel goal. 

 

[Bill Brasky]

Caufield probably chose Wisconsin so he could tower over Sean Dhooghe.  probably the first guy they introduced him to on the recruiting trip 

 

[RUSF18]

There's no way that limp was real.

 

[Zegras11]

1. NJD - Jack Hughes
2. NYR - Kaapo Kakko
3. CHI - Alex Turcotte
4. COL - Bowen Byram
5. LAK - Dylan Cozens
6. DET - Kirby Dach
7. BUF - Trevor Zegras
8. EDM - Cole Caufield
9. ANA - Vasily Podkolzin
10.VAN - Matthew Boldy

Zegras!!!!

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Not sure why Yzerman didn’t trade down. Seems like the biggest mistake thus far. Still no Stan. 

 

[RUSF18]

Oh really, the old ******* in the stonewashed jeans and zip up screwed up?

 

[AcerFC]

Is it me, or do these kids wear pants that are too tight. odd fashion trend. 

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Did he just get introduced as "Harley Thomas"?

 

[Northern Voice]

Did he just get introduced as "Harley Thomas"?

Hey it's not like he worked his entire life for that moment.

 

[Northern Voice]

That link from earlier had Lassi Thompson going between picks 31 and 48, so good job Senators.

 

[Dickie Dunn]

This whole draft is drunk.

I know you're all waiting eagerly to see what Sweeney does in about 10 picks.

 

[Northern Voice]

I know you're all waiting eagerly to see what Sweeney does in about 10 picks.

It's actually moving pretty well though. Needs more trades.

 

[falguy]

Burke didnt like it. I appreciate that he isnt afraid to say it wheres sam consentino likes every pick regardless. 

 

[JaxBill]

Flash forward 2 years and Pierre Dorion calls for an investigation why Lassi fell into a well.

 

[falguy]

1 ohl guy so far. 

 

[RUSF18]

Bob's "best available" list starting at #19 as we're on pick 20 is pretty impressive.

 

[ffldrew]

1 ohl guy so far. 

15 americans and 12 Finns

 

[falguy]

Caufield probably chose Wisconsin so he could tower over Sean Dhooghe.  probably the first guy they introduced him to on the recruiting trip 

My son played against dhooghe on minor midget and the kid was unreal. I feel bad that he hasnt grown with all that talent.

 

[Northern Voice]

Burke didnt like it. I appreciate that he isnt afraid to say it wheres sam consentino likes every pick regardless. 

Cosentino is awful IMO. 

 

[Northern Voice]

You'd think you could at least count on GMJR for some draft day trades.

 

[Bill Brasky]

You'd think you could at least count on GMJR for some draft day trades.

no kidding.  the whole team is on the block too

 

[falguy]

Thread title. 

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Holmstrom was the 27th-ranked European skater by Central Scouting.

WTF is going on?

 

[Northern Voice]

When in doubt, go off the board for a Scandinavian defenceman, apparently.
