I'm convinced most people in the WC thread are more interested in who's flopping than the game itself

 

[CrazedArabMan]

Draft all the centers!

 

[Red_Man]

Habs stats-bloggers are going off on the Habs last two picks, pretty amusing to watch. I'm going to trust Timmins over a bunch of bloggers.

Really liking this Brayden Point kid we got in the third round. Might actually be the best player we've gotten so far. Eighth best goal scorer in the draft, but only 5'10" so of course no one but Tampa wants him. He'll fit in well.

Lots of Hab fans on twitter wanted him and flipped their shit when we took that viking D man. All I know is he was involved with a pretty large part of his teams offense.

I thought that was the main point of the WC?

NATHAN WALKERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

 

[Samyy]

2 Europeans and 2 Americans
Can't wait for Don's impressions!

 

[Cake Boss]

Draft all character guys!!

 

[shadowkat]

FOR CARL GUNNARSSON?! NONIS YOU STUPID KNOB

WTF

 

[Kave_Man]

MTL D Josh Gorges' name is out there in trade talk. TOR made a pitch for Gorges but no CDN team is on list of 15 teams he can be dealt to.

Red please share with me your thoughts.

 

[Coldnoodle]

I'm so fucking drunk right now

Nathan Walker selected third round, 89th overall, by Washington Capitals

I LOVE YOU CAPITALS

 

[Red_Man]

Red please share with me your thoughts.

Thank you based Bergevin. At this point in his career, he's a third pairing guy on a good team. Yells at everyone between periods and is a shot blocking machine. Perfect kind of Carlyle player!

Also shoots pucks at players named Kyle Turris.

Edit:lol @Nonis. seems like a brutal trade, it's like Carlyle is the GM.

 

[Cake Boss]

BABBYYYY just saved this draft for me.

True. Character, and truculence off the charts. I just want him moved so he's not named captain.

 

[Samyy]

Lol theres a Flyer's fan still wearing a JVR jersey at the draft

 

[FUBAR McDangles]

Wild have four picks left.

They've thus far taken a RW, two D, and a G.

Need to pick up a C or two here.

And Zach Yon, Roseau LW going to UND next year.

Hfboards losing their minds
I love it

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

My "next NHL jersey" fund is torn between the new Ducks away jersey and a Capitals Nathan Walker jersey...

Do I dare forego my sanctuary of Anaheim to pledge support for my countryman?

How did you guys in other states/countries deal with this?

 

[calder]

You can almost get away with a caps sweater solely because the teams have virtually no rivalry and barely play each other. Just to be sure, get a Caps third if possible.

 

[bonesmccoy]

So the price for Polak was Gunnarsson, 200k retain salary and a 4th round pick.

-_-

He really is the worst GM ever.

YEAH BUT DAT BOUDREAU EX-RIVALR... yeah good point.

I was quite happy with making the Islanders my "second" "Eastern conference" "team"...

Wait, do the Caps have a third jersey!?

Yeah plus the Caps gave you guys Boudreau!!

Habs just drafted a goalie named Hawkey. A legend is born.

 

[MPW]

Looks like this is the D next year:

Phaneuf-Boyle
Gardiner-Franson
Rielly-Polak

I guess Gleason has to fit in there somewhere too.

*puke*

plan the parade!!!

 

[Singularity42]

Draft all the centers!

Wings are going with safe picks this year.

So that means they are going skill and upside picks next year. Not a bad thing, probably see at least one more Hakan pick in the 6th or 7th.

 

[Kave_Man]

Smells like a bust to me.

 

[Merguson]

I predict an european selection by the Leafs in the 7th round.

 

[Red_Man]

Smells like a bust to me.

His name is Hawkey. Future hall of famer, Patrick Roy 2.0 according to Gafs scouts.

Since everyone loves Cox

Cox: Life without an NHL draft might be better

I don't have the hate-on for Cox like most folks here do, but when I saw that article yesterday I thought it was the most ridiculous thing I've ever read.

Indeed, love those unis.

 

[zroid]

I get why they did it, but it's kinda weird that the hockey stick is being used in place of the T instead of the L

 

[Cake Boss]

SENS HAVE MADE A TRADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1













































































for the 189th pick

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Montreal is collecting all the goalies.

 

[Razorskin]

for the 189th pick

They drafted a ginger named Kelly Summers with that pick.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

So the price for Polak was Gunnarsson, 200k retain salary and a 4th round pick.

-_-

He really is the worst GM ever.

We retained salary and gave up a 4th?! For a guy who faced lesser competition on a great defensive team like St. Louis?

Well, fuck me...

 

[Cake Boss]

Good ol Carelton Place Ontario boy

 

[DopeyFish]

why do i have a feeling this draft is going to bring out a lot of star players?

 

[Coldnoodle]

Because a lot of them have cool names.

 

[Merguson]

Nonis said he wants Gardiner and Rielly to play big roles.

Guess Gardiner isn't going anywhere for the time being.

EDIT: Also said he's comfortable with what they have on defense now.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

We drafted a Holmstrom, apparently was the second highest scorer in the U18's... and got him in the 7th round too, the next Zetterberg!!!!

 

[Quick]

Because a lot of them have cool names.

And nice hair.

 

[Zombie James]

Polak looks injury prone as hell :/

 

[CrazedArabMan]

WE JUST TOOK A RUSSIAN FORWARD IN THE 7TH ROUND!!!!

THE NEXT DATSYUK!!!!!

Seriously, though we haven't drafted a Russian forward in a while, let a lone a Russian. Marchenko was the last one but even then we have had many in the last few years.

 

[BigJonsson]

Not Gunnarsson

Ducks away jersey with Walker's name/number on it. Hope Bob Murray trades for him down the line. You can claim to call it years in advance

 

[KernelPanic]

We're getting fleeced on Spezza. I dread seeing the return.

But at least our scouts are doing their thing. In Dorion we trust.

 

[Marvie_3]

......wouldn't he be the next Holmstrom?

 

[DopeyFish]

the U18 stats should be used with caution... his linemate was the highest scorer, william nylander
