2017 NHL Draft - Chicago, Illinois June 23-24 2017

Could you imagine a top four of Dahlin Tryamkin Juolevi Liljigren That would be insane! -

I feel sometimes these european prospects fall a bit due to low exposure. Every year you see a guy and wonder how so many guys were picked before them. Most recently Aho, Wennberg, Pastrnak, and Forsberg just to name a few. -

I get this feeling as well. Does anybody else think that the only reason we got Dahlen was because Benning was scouting Pettersson? That Benning saw Dahlen and probably persistently asked for him as a return in the Burrows trade over just a straight pick. -

Makar to me looks like a Roman Josi. I'm not surprised Button would say that as I've noticed that the gap between Liljigren and Makar should be and is really close, but at the end of the day I'd still give the edge to Liljigren. I'd take both over Valardi just my preference. I also do like both guys more than Juolevi sadly. Patrick, Hischier, Liljigren, Pettersson (really high on this kid), Mittelstadt and Makar are my top 6. Makar and Mittelstadt are interchangeable but my top 4 is set right now. -

The perfect draft would be Liljegren with our pick in the top 5 if Patrick and Hischier are gone and then trade Tanev and the SJ 1rst to Buffalo for their pick around 10th overall (value is probably way off) and take Elias Pettersson. -

I'm fine with those comments because it just shows Benning is going BPA regardless of position. If he thinks Maker or Heiskanen or Valimaki have number 1 potential and the similarly ranked forwards only have 2nd line potential in his eyes I'd hope he takes the dman. Even after the Juolevi pick I'd still take Liljigren and Maker over some of these guys ranked in the top 10. I have both Liljigren and Maker in my top 6 -
We have so many guys and so few spots! I feel like we must trade one of Edler or Tanev and maybe even think about trading Hutton as well. I bring up Hutton because he is expansion draft exempt, young, cheap and playing good hockey. With Hutton you might get some great trade value in him for teams trying to finalize their protection lists.
-
That is a terrible way to draft. Things change continually and these kids take about 3 years to make it to the show. What looks weak prospect pool wise right now could be totally different by the time said player makes it to the NHL. I sure hope Juolevi was Bennings top ranked guy not his top ranked defencemen because you should always be drafting BPA. Look at whats happened not even a year since drafting Juolevi, we've had the signing and emergence from both Stetcher and Tryamkin. The team already has Edler, Gudbranson, Hutton, Tanev and Sbisa signed. Prospects on the cusp with potential to be here soon Pedan, McEneny, Subban and Juolevi. Now look at our current forward roster with guys like Megna, Chaput, Grenier all getting time in the top 6.
-
Dahlen at it again. He's gonna run show in the J20 he's far too skilled for that league.
-
Well lets work on getting Gaudette and Boeser signed. I think that should probably be priority number one.
-
Its pretty clear for all these kids to see if you want a shot in the NHL Vancouver is one of your best options if not the best. Vancouver two spots in their top 6 up for grabs after next season. There is no lock for who gets those spots.
-
Yeah I can't see the Pats not making it back to the Super Bowl next season. I think Dallas and Green Bay could give them a run for their money if those teams score big in the draft. The boys will already have the addition of Jaylon Smith (hoping to see him do well) if they could add a Tim Williams (if they can risk the trouble after Randy Gregory has failed them) could be huge for the Cowboys! Green Bay picking up Bennett at TE if they can get a Christian McCaffrey and he produces look out!

Atta boy Burr! Come on Ottawa and SJ finals!

2017 NHL Draft - Chicago, Illinois June 23-24 2017

It's probably coming down to Gaunce or Sbisa and there are 30 other teams to choose from as well. I wouldn't be surprised if they found 8 other dmen better than Sbisa from the other teams. If I was building a team I'd pick Gaunce in my bottom 6 before I picked Sbisa. I honestly wouldn't be surprised either way so don't rule it out. -
I wasn't a big fan of the pick because I thought BPA was Tkachuk and he may have been but its not like Juolevi was ranked 20th and went 5th. We have Juolevi and thats that. Let's just hope Jim Benning got this one right and Juolevi turns out to be a top 2 dman.

I think both deserve to be in the top 10 with the years they've had. I like this 1rst round D class better than last years. I would be happy if we came out of this draft with Patrick, Hischier, Liljigren, Pettersson, Mittelstadt, or Maker. -
Fantastic run he's on! This is the Demko we know!

We need to drop in the standings because Elias Pettersson is the guy I want. Already plays well with new Canuck Jonathan Dahlen. -
Hoping one team bucks up and just trades for him. Would like the boys to get something in return.

So did Kevin Pillar just get really good at baseball?? Finally nice to see guys take in the get on base at all costs approach. I've felt for years everybody has just been trying to crush home runs instead of taking some off and playing small ball. Hoping Pillar has a great year he's got so much upside. -
Well I know the percentages are low but if somebody said I could have 12% odds or 5% odds I'd feel better with the 12%. Just going to have to get really lucky.
-
Hopefully he comes over next year to Utica with Elias Pettersson!
-
We're gonna need to win the lottery because Ryan Miller won't let this happen.

Makes sense couldn't see anybody wanting to take on all that salary on a 36 year old injury prone QB.
