You realize that the draft doesn't come any faster regardless of when the playoffs end, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hab29RETIRED Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 You realize that the draft doesn't come any faster regardless of when the playoffs end, right?At least the media attention will zero in on trade and free agency rumours and draft coverage, instead of doing fluff pieces on whether thorntons beard is impeding his effectiveness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stogey24 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I thought Juulsen was pretty free wheeling. http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nhl/2016/06/07/nhl-mock-draft-auston-matthews-patrik-laine-jesse-puljujrvi/85575694/ I like Mr. Bean's game a lot and would make a good WHL d-pairing with RH-more defensive Juulsen and a LH-slick offensive kid in Bean; BUT not with better options likely available at 9.

DON Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 No, haven't seen Juulsen going end to end and this year he had to defend much moreso, with several of offensive weapons (Sherbak and Nikolishin) gone. And he became know as more of a solid shut down d-man, than offensive threat like Bean is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he became know as more of a solid shut down d-man, than offensive threat like Bean is. Tough to say with Juulsen. His team took an offensive nosedive and he went with it. Of course, his year prior to being drafted as a rookie wasn't anything impressive either. He's either a one year wonder we rolled the dice on or he could hit the AHL next year and impress.

DON Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Juulsen is too young till AHL till 17-18 season, he just turned 19 in April, so will be WHL again next year. 52points in 68 gms in his draft year is very good for a d-man. So, I doubt Habs have soured on him at all and maybe he will get a taste of AHL playoffs next year? Just need IceCaps to make the friggin playoffs first.

DON Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 NHLers; 3- Galchenyuk, 5-Price, 12-McDonagh, 17-Beaulieu, 22-Pacioretty, 25-McCarron vs 1st round flops; 18-Leblanc, 20-Fischer, 27&57 Tinordi Scherbak-Juulsen who knows? A 9th pick should be a good one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neech Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 I have a bad feeling that some guys that we'd have wanted will go #7 and #8; it would have been nice to tank a little harder at the end there Sergachyov and Nylander I could get excited for; Jost, Keller and Chychrun I'm less sure about. But at this point I know very little about all of these guys and I have to trust that Timmins will not miss, and hope that someone picking earlier will.

LastWordonSports website also has a scouting report and video compilation for each top prospect. I think Chychrun & Jost are solid options and just seems Keller is a smaller version of Jost.

I knew a kid in high school who was 5'10", 200lbs of solid muscle, kid hardly worked out and definitely could not afford steroids. He just had incredible genes. It can happen. It's rare but it can happen. Don't remember what happened to him. Probably too short to play football beyond Canadian college. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davehab Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 hey I just came across this tool to predict the probability of players being available at certain positions. It works by comparing the different, blaw blaw blaw's, and cross referencing a parabola of blaw blaw blaw's with some other bullshit. Anyways....The end result is a nice shinny percentage..... I just thought you guys would find it interesting. https://hockey-graphs.com/2016/06/08/nhl-draft-probability-tool/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DON Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 http://thehockeywriters.com/2016-nhl-draft-final-consensus-rankings/ Just another draft ranking...but I do like who sits 9th. Logan Brown at 6, hmmm? Will his size actually get some GM to bite on him real early? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 From Friedman's 30 thoughts: 2. After the NHL Scouting Combine, the Columbus Blue Jackets invited several prospects to Ohio for more in-depth interviews. Among them: Jake Bean, Logan Brown, Clayton Keller, Jesse Puljujarvi and Matthew Tkachuk. The Blue Jackets are picking third. Puljujarvi is right there. Tkachuk is close. Brown (who also visited the St. Louis Blues) is in the next wave. Bean and Keller are going high, although where depends on who you are talking to. No doubt the Blue Jackets are covering all their bases, but you can’t help but wonder what all of this means. At the very least, GM Jarmo Kekalainen is making it interesting. 5. Another team testing the possibility of moving up: Montreal. The Canadiens pick ninth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaos Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Bergevin trades down with Philly at 18th Overall to draft Julien Gauthier. They pick up Phillys 48th O/A pick in the process as well as maybe Phillys 188th O/A pick. Philly selects Logan Brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
