CBJSprague24 posted:That's the second time in recent memory their first round pick from Michigan gets to bring a friend. I'm wondering if there's a certain benefit here beyond camaraderie. In NYR's case, Dan Muse was on the USNTDP staff and that program is sending a lot of players including high-end talents to BC, including #4 Will Smith and #8 Ryan Leonard, the Rangers picks of Gabe Perreault and Drew Fortescue, as well as Will Vote and Aram Minnetian. Is there any connection from CBJ staff to Michigan? I'd guess a lot of it has to do with confidence in the school's hockey program and ability to develop players. I'm curious if anyone has any other insights or ideas.

Zodijackylite posted:The two guys they've drafted so far are also both going to Boston College. Not that I'm aware. They've done it in two different fashions, too; in the other, Johnson was drafted and Blankenburg was an undrafted free agent signed immediately after that College season to follow KJ to Columbus (they were college roommates). Whether it was having a familiar face there is unclear, but he proved to be at least a solid bottom four defenseman immediately. E- bottom 4, not bottom 6. Duh.

yeah that’s exactly what they should be doing imo. you can find depth guys. harder to find talent. need to take big swings

Don’t have a pick until the third round and Pierre and the Sens immediately get to work drafting a large defenseman with “poor hockey IQ” 60 picks early Stop the pain

Extremely unlikely it all pans out like that but sure it’s good to swing on high upside They could also all bust My only issue is when people post like it’s a sure thing all these guys are steals or going to “pop” etc E: I mean the guy is saying “best draft ever for any team” cmon

Levitate posted:Extremely unlikely it all pans out like that but sure it’s good to swing on high upside all the post draft winner and loser stuff is dumb. with the exception of like the top 1-3 picks and the LOL teams like arizona, no one has any idea on most of these guys. Yzerman was getting dunked on for drafting seider and it panned out well. similarly, taking zadina was a massive steal by holland, and, welp. that being said, i kinda wish yzerman was taking more swings for the fences

Well the Stars didn't really get much out of this draft owing to their selections starting at 60 and then proceeding from there at the end of each round. I think they are firmly in the territory of hoping that 1 of their picks turns out to be a NHL player, but I guess that's most drafts for most teams.

Yes. Unless they're bad. Or get hot brained along their development a bunch. Or break a hip/leg/knees or 8000 other things. Or have Beau disease. Or are allergic to the foam in their pads. Or hate Ohio.

Probably one of the better Sharks drafts I can recal. Perfectly happy with the Musty / Smith duo in the first round. Halttonen and Svoboda with their 3rd/4th picks were admittedly real head-scratchers - there were much more interesting players still available, some even projected high first round . Cagnoni at the tail end of the 4th round felt like a steal, though, and the rest were whatever shots in the dark (though I guess Rimashevsky is supposed to have some skill).

Adding to the Michigan chat from earlier, Columbus' 66th and 98th picks, for what it's worth, are both from Youngstown of the USHL.

Vancouver is set for fanfics for the next two decades. Back to back 1st overalls from the city, both huge Canuck fans growing up. Chicago and ??? are gonna hate us more than we hate Devils fans for their Hughes drama. I would be lying if I said I hadn't already daydreamed about a Chicago losing their golden child to us at his first opportunity to skip town. Bedard talks a lot about becoming a fan around 2011.
