saucypass Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Can already see people ripping him for not looking happy. Well we see other kids being ecstatic. Why can't ours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keredz Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 This guy could turn out to be good, but man... Benning could have traded down a few slots and still could have picked this kid AND gotten a late second round pick..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benning could have traded down a few slots and still could have picked this kid AND gotten a late second round pick..... How can you say that, this is where a lot of people had him going.

DeNiro Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Wow. We're going to have to wait forever. Yea, but he'll come in much more well rounded when he's ready. North Dakota is a great program, it has produced NHLers such as Toews, Oshie, Nelson, Parise, and Zajac. I think this is one of those cases where people get caught up with CHL players (myself included), and forget about all the NCAA players available. This guy should be a big part of team USA at the world juniors along with Demko. Hopefully those two can go head to head with McCann and Virtanen.

Mathew Barzal Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) Oh yes, because everyone looked thrilled. I bet McCann absolutely hates us. Well, he might not hate us but might he might have not wanted to go to us. We'll just have to grow on him. TV show: Gossip Girl Music group: One Direction Yes.

24K PureCool Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Not having our prospect being developed by our organization means we have no control or real influence on the direction he goes moving forward. If he was being developed in utica he could be pushed in a direction that might better suit his needs to make the NHL. Not to mention he possibility that he can stay in college for his 4 years and then decide to sign anywhere he wants as has been done by a number of prospect in the last few years. Demko is a goalie so his development is his alone, much different when you're a forward or a D man. Would you honestly rather not have him in our house sooner rather then waiting till he is 22 before being able to shape is development? Well what is the difference between going to college and to a chl team cause he ain't eligible for AHL next season. I would like him to play against men in the NCAA then with kids in the chl.

MJDDawg Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Rated as a bit of a wild card in this draft. ISS had him ranked 35th overall. Craig Button had him ranked 9th overall. Don't know if I've ever seen this wide of a discrepancy in ranking. With how important this draft was for our team, especially without a second rounder, was this really the draft to go with the wild card pick?

DeNiro Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 im so choked about this pick. we passed on Travis Konecny/ Nicholas Merkley/Jeremy Roy/ Oliver Kylington/ There's a good chance one of those guys will be available in the 2nd. Still a chance to grab one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBackup Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Oh yes, because everyone looked thrilled. I bet McCann absolutely hates us. That's the point. So often it seems like our prospects don't want to come here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if I've ever seen this wide of a discrepancy in ranking. With how important this draft was for our team, especially without a second rounder, was this really the draft to go with the wild card pick? He was listed as a low first round pick. Buttons projections are based on potential, which he sees a top 6 scoring winger.

Team Bagues Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Good god. Did they just re-draft Patrick White? Maybe the plan is to trade him in the future for Ehrhoff 2.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
