I wish the Sharks took Buium so the Flyers could have stole Dickinson at 12
San Jose won big for getting both a legit stud centre and dman. Montreal won big for scooping Demidov.
i cant believe it my cousin got drafted to his hometown team toronto, its mind boggiling that ben is now going to be playing there and soon a full time D. LETS GO
I don't think I'll ever get used to utah being a team in the NHL. It just sounds off. Wisconsin should have got an expansion team years ago, already!
Toronto should get STACKED with the best players and run teams over right up to hoisting the cup! It's the hockey capital! The hockey hall of fame is there, for Shoresy sake! EH?! COME ON, EH! Leave them in the dust, leafs!
Silayev correctly pronounced: si – la – ev
Is iginla the son of jarome?! If so, he's gonna be good!
as a seattle fan, im hyped!!! catton looks super promising!
I’m an oilers fan and honestly I’m shocked we even got to draft last night
Montreal is drafting really well since Hughes took over as GM. I didn't hate Bergevin but Hughes as been great so far
Early mocks I've seen Jiricek go in the top 10, so if he heals good, then it could be a steal for the blues. Also, i dont hate it because i wanted the player, too
All the trades happened this morning. Can't wait for the video on the Tampa trades.
Beckett Sennecke won the draft. Not the ducks for drafting him, but he personally won 😭😭😭
People need to realize that Wes Clark knows what he's doing. Was Ben Danford a reach? Probably. However, Wes Clark always knows who his guy is and is never afraid to take the guy he believes in. Until he lets us down, I trust his judgment. They did the same thing last year and it has paid off so far, so I'm fine with it. Plus, Ben Danford is elite defensively and has decent underlying playmaking numbers despite the lower point totals. Was it the conventional pick there? No. But Wes Clark has shown that he knows what he's doing when it comes to drafting and he wouldn't have went with Danford if he didn't see something in him.
Sennecke made me a ducks fan
I think he MBN can be 30+-30 guy in the NHL. he's got a great shot. I think people are undervaluing him because of that 200ft player label. He is ALOT more than that.
I think habs are going to leap frog the wings in the rebuild process. Im a wings fan
I really thought Demidov would be top 3, so I'm stoked Habs took him. Hughes' vision looks bright, starting in 1-2 years.
I think Nygard is gonna surprise people, given how some are giving that pick a thumbs down for some reason. He's a solid forechecker who doesn't seem to hesitate to throw his weight around. Of course, that story has yet to be written, but with Wings alum in Sweden who'll undoubtedly be working with him, I can't see a scenario where he isn't on our second line in a few years.
Sam O'Reilly is Oilers future 3rs line centre. Played Def until he was 15. Great trade and pick
Thanks for the breakdown! quick, thorough, and to the point.
As a kraken fan, I’m excited to see what Berkly does
Habs killed it
Congratulations, Montreal fans. You guys got the prospect I wanted for sure! I actually think he went where he probably should have. It'll be interesting to see if he gets a chance to play in the KHL. I'd like to see what he'd do in a serious league because he was absolutely bum-slaying in the MHL.
The draft was almost a dream come true when i seen eiserman was falling i was hoping he would go to the habs but i originally wanted hage thinking eiserman would be gone by then anyways but demigod and hage was a great draft by the habs super excited
As a flames fans I wanted iginla to goto Calgary
Carter yakemchuk and I played against eachother in minor hockey all the way to the AAA level. He’s an absolute beast. Was really hoping he would fall to the flames because he is an oiler fan, would have been perfect
Holy shit Habs got him
Habs blow it again ,when are the fans gonna revolt against these losers picking players that can't play NHL
Montreal had the best draft of any team, Chicago's draft was disappointing. Way to get Bedard some help Kyle from Chicago.
Everybody seems to agree that eiserman is a 1 dimensional player but so was brett hull
Was never really a ducks fan but with that surprise they have my attention
Steal by Isles
Try being a DucksFan…Verbeek putting us through Murray era 2.0..neither selection was "Great"….just waiting for him to give Gibson and Zegras away for not much..
DEMIDOV AND HAGE LFG
Anybody curious why Michael Hage had such a bad start, look up what happened to his dad
Solberg jumped alot due to the Norwegian playoff where he dominated and a good World Championship. Going with 9 points in 17 playoff games, where he had 15 points in 42 games during the seasons.
Martin St. Louis is a loser coach again finishing 5th last, Michkov refused to play for Montreal, good for him and now will play for Philadelphia 2024-2025. Canucks could have had Michcov or Bedard if they would just have tanked. Vancouver was 3rd last in February then started winnig, why Tochett? Didnt want Bedard or Michkov?
Catton and Parekh will be better than people picked ahead of them.
Sweet to see Parascak going to caps with his other teammate Zac Funk; they were a dominant duo for PG
I feel Calgary got a steal at #9… Parekh.
Keep sleeping on Catton guys (not you Nyquist) hes staying on Washington and is going to feed families in Seattle💥
Im from montreal and i have to say thanks anaheim and colombus !!! We were the one making those weird pick before so from the bottom of my heart thank you
Obviously Sennecke going third was a surprise. But some guys were saying he could sneak into the top five. I guess the more shocking part of it was that he went before Demidov. AND Lindstrom. But the latter is obviously less surprising than the former.
Other than that the only things that I found actually were surprising how the aforementioned Demidov dropped, and how Buium dropped. Im especially surprised Dickinson went before him. MANY people thought Buium was the best D in the draft. And I believe he was the fifth D taken. Just goes to show how coveted right shot D are. And how coveted size is (Silayev).
I guess I’m also surprised Teddy Stiga didn’t go until well into the second round. I really like his game. The scouching guys had him ranked 5th or 6th. Which I thought was absurd. But he was DEF a first round quality prospect imo.
Anyway, it was an entertaining draft. There were SEVERAL picks that had me going, “WHO?!” And that’s lots of fun, I think. Lol
Ducks did what the flyers should have done in 2017. When you like a guy, just pick him. I think Sennecke is the joker here. He’s the kind of guy you see picked in later rounds and say how was he not picked earlier.
so happy !! DEMIDOV!!!
Wanted Hage to go to the Jets or Canes
Habs win,hands down.
