I'm excited by Hoglander. Great pic as well! Might have picked a D. Cant get all your D late. Mind u? Bjornfot & Ryan Johnson were both gone; closest to need. -

We def need a guy like Soderstrom. NEED. I'm still a bit surprised Zona traded up to get him? Pod is the better player though. And just as useful really. He was the better pick. He has the potential to be our best power forward since Bertuzzi. Plus all the tools, compete, to be valuable even if he ''only'' scores 55 or 65 points a year. -
They may have the same problem we do at times? CDC anyway. Inflated expectations. I liked D Mo's point. Look what NYR's paid for their big RHD. Who is better than Barrie as a whole by a fair margin. Albeit most teams that have a Trouba, want the puck mover as their next piece? Then look at what Montreal & Nashville get for Subban? With cap leverage working against them. But the key point, Barrie a more one dimensional player with only 1 year on his pact. And a similar reputation for not discounting his worth. Is Barrie with 1 year on his pact worth, Alex Tuch for example? A simple hockey deal I would not make. And with Stone signed, you could argue he's available? Not that Barrie is who Vegas is after. Just a discussing value. Barrie wont command a young, long term controlled, 45 or 55 point top 6 forward. Minny apparently wants a D for Zucker. Don't even think they'll go for him. Same problem, do they need a rental? I don't think they make that deal. Philly might have been an obvious choice. But Niskannen was actually more on point with what they need. They had a PMD and needed 2 way play. And paid less for him. They're gong to have to find a contender. Maybe Boston would pay Danton Heinen. Is he top 6 enough? Is Jake not still better based on speed, size... Sakic waited out Duchene. But he may have too high expectations here.

LOL, what do I know, when I know? Foote, makes in to the 1st round with Tampa! -
So, just a moment to thank our execs; @Jaku @Master Mind @Salter & in particular @thejazz97. Appreciate a well run draft. Lotsa work! I must say, the time slots, while a heartache adding to wait for soem, here we are at the end of the draft. And no panic? 3 years ago pics with 3 minute time limits by memory. Jazzy running for lists sent in, by the time they're found, 2 pics gone. The system would have been great if we started the draft with it, an obvious next step? Being that we have members, myself included, oversea's? 17 hour time difference. It meant not getting up twice a night to check if I was being skipped. Got to enjoy the draft. Cheers & Good Luck everyone!

So Edmonton draft; #4 Alex Turcotte. > Can't take much credit for how good Alex will be? We had to be bad to get a good player! But we think we had a great draft. The real work in advance acquiring 3 extra picks in the 2knd, one extra in the 3rd. Then reacquired a 4th. We had traded our own 4th in this draft last year for a 4th. Which became Ivan Morozov. We missed out on Jack Rathbone & Emil Bemstrom. Secret cards. We did get two other mature age targets. #32 Alex Romanov > 38th overall pick by Montreal 2018. #36 Matthew Robertson > A safe pick versus aggressive pick, possible 1st rounder? #54 Nolan Foote > Actually the only pick we are nervous about. Pedigree, enough speed? So many ratings above 54 where we got him though. #61 Ilya Nikolayev > A favourite pick, creative, efficient & dangerous offensive player. # 80 Yegor Spiridinov > The pivot to one of the top lines in the MHL this past year. # 89 Martin Ferhervary > 19, he played SHL games FOUR seasons ago, barely 16, 1 Full SHL season this year, 3 WJC's & 2 WC's. A 2018 46th overall Wash. #118 Albert Johansson > A lot of upside in Albert & a value pick late in the draft We were going to take Dach 4th, until a few days ago. Dach did not seem that popular here. Maybe we dodged a bullet? It surprised. Dach available into the teens was one of the best picks in the draft IMO. I like him still! Picked Turcotte on work rates, he sticks his nose in the game, as well as scoring rates. Seems to me he will be a bigger winner. Great day, and thanks all! -
See? There was a reason I did not wish u luck... good pick, great pic

Anybody left (still awake ) wants to trade a pick for a 2020 4th?
-
Hope everybody ( except @aGENT ) had & has a great draft! I'm off, of all places, to a hockey game. And to a quick meet & greet with some guys including Cayden Primeau's Dad & Uncle. I have left a list in your in box for a selection on my last pick @canuck2xtreme Thanks for everything with the draft!

Daniil Gutik for pick 126 please
-
I've been alternating safe / logical picks (Matthew Robertson) with High upside risky ones. I suppose according to chaos theory I should go all in, one way or the other... Not that I have ever read chaos theory? Or that what might have been risk, is less so early in the 3rd round. Thanx though.
