This is why I rely more on my eyeballs then most of these ridiculous stats because when you deep dive analytics there always seems to be flaws in them. I know the math nerds are going to go ham on my assesment but I dont care. LOL

Same, Hockey is really hard to guage especially draft picks since they take so long to develop but I'm starting to get a grasp on it.

He sounds too french for my taste though 😄

6'2" 196 lbs, RHD, walls off the opposition, I like the sounds of him also.

Thats the average? Brutal.

I know but with all these swings all you need is for 4-5 to hit.

Can't they also refuse to play like Vesey did? I realize we get a pick if they sign with other clubs.

I can't even keep up anymore, all this pipeline hopefully turns out great for us down the road.

How in the world are we seriously making all these picks? Where are they going to fit in?

Already in the pipeline you mean?

Another LHD? Why does Adams not care about this? I saw videos on how this is a disadvantage in certain instances when a LHD plays on the right and vice versa.

I like that our last 2 players selected have physical traits, much like the player we picked up in the deal with the Caps, they are emphasizing that we need to get more physical but the thing I don't like is that we waited this long to get these types of players but baby steps I guess.

Penguins aquire Kevin hayes from the Blues.

You know what's going to happen, Adams will make all of his draft picks, add a few more 4th liners and bring up our younger players who haven't earned a place on this roster yet. I fully expect this to happen and it will be the last year of Adams until we hire on another unqualified GM to take over.

We keep hearing Kevyn Adams saying there is no trading partners yet a team with no name makes 2 very impressive trades. I really am starting to like the kid from Washington the more i read on him but to think we could have received Sergachev or Marino is really inexcusable to me.

Story of our lives.

My goodness Utah got Sergachev also? Wtf.

Ouch and only a 2025 2nd rounder. Just as i was feeling ok about the 4th line player LOL

I don't know I'm actually starting to like this pickup as I read more about him, had 241 hits last season (tied for 12th), was on Washingtons shutdown line. Seems like the guy I was asking for, he's not a good offensive player but seems very hard to play against, energy guy, i'm starting to come around to it regardless of the 2nd round value.

This is the first time I'm going to say this ever, please stop Kevyn Adams from trading now. Just let him get fired without worsening our hockey team.

What channel is rounds 2-7 on?

I've said it before the draft I fully expect Adams to make these picks, I'll be pleasantly surprised to see a trade. I'd like him to move at least 1 2nd for a player with a no clause meaning a bottom tier player to bring in. Not a goon but a player that would be hard to play against and there is no reason he can't make a move like that.

Why when someone makes a point on here do they immediately go on the defensive? You asked who was traded for a 1st round pick for a player correct? I find it hard to believe he couldn't find any suitors, my guess like all of yours is that he didn't want to give up a precious prospect as well in any deal but thats my 2 pennies.

Wasn’t Linus Ullmark traded for a 1st round pick?

3 prospects I'm surprised not to see in the top 32 still on the board: 1. RW Nikita Artamonov- Excellent hockey sense who always seems to be in the right places much like our 14th overall pick, isn't the biggest guy but plays with an edge and started producing right away in the KHL which not many 18 uear olds do. 2. RHD Charlie Elick- big dman at 6'3" 203 lbs., very mobile for a guy of his stature and physical, in fact many WHL players stated he was the toughest dman they've ever played against. 27 points in the regular season and a +4, also added 3 assists in 7 games at the U18 WJC. 3. RHD Dominik Badinka- another big 6'3" 185 lbs. right shot dman, this guy is much more defensive minded than Elick from what I'm reading and seeing on him, he's very mobile matching the players speed either heading back with skaters looking to break away. If you can get his offensive game going this guy could be a absolute steal.
