Philly got a 2nd for 3 spots, so likely a pick or so. My guess is they had this as their order at their pick 1. Zegras 2. Broberg 3. Krebs But they also had Podkolzin MUCH higher and didn't expect him to be there but had to take the BPA and he was by far. We got a star Edited June 22, 2019 by 18W-40C-6W 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This stacked team made a lot of decently talented players look better than they actually are because they were all concentrated in one group. I don't like all the Smurf picks.... these types of players look good in the regular season, but as we saw in the 2019 Stanley Cup playoffs, they don't look quite so good when the playoffs start and the intensity and physicality gets turned up to max and the Refs put away their whistles. St Louis Blues were the biggest team in the playoffs and were stacked with guys who liked to hit. They won by wearing down the opposition with punishing physical play combined with speed on the forecheck. They basically wore their opponents out. No more Smurfs in Vancouver... we need big physical players who have good speed. 41 minutes ago, *Buzzsaw* said: What a stupid remark. Let's see... a few of the 'Frenchmen' who dominated the NHL: Mario Lemieux, Maurice Richard, Guy Lafleur, Jean Beliveau, Denis Potvin, Patrick Roy, Martin Brodeur, etc. etc. etc. You just equated the USNDTP with a bunch of over-rated smurfs, and the GMs that selected them less informed than youself.... And then your next post you're commenting on someone else's "stupid remark"? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YearoftheNuck Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I’m hoping for Vlasic in round two. Fingers crossed. https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/315969/alex-vlasic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyCuddles Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Korczak at 40 and I consider this a heist of a draft. With that said there are still a good many interesting names around too. Lavoie really catches my eye. 6'4, center, playoff performer. I like Mikko Kokkonen as well. Fins are a NHL factory as of late. Yeah he's a left D and not super big but I still like his skills. Vladislav Kolyachonok is an interesting feller too. 6'2 200 pounds. Lots of interesting names still kicking. Can't wait to see how the rest of the draft shapes out. As of now, I am very, very happy with Podkolzin at 10. Figured we'd have to trade up to get a guy like that. GMs looking at smaller picture I guess. 2 years too long to wait for a 18 year old, well that's on you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down by the River Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I miss TSN's coverage. I wish someone would tell Sportsnet's producer that viewers are not interested in graphics about who the Islanders' top +/- guy was last year. Tell me about the players that are available to be drafted. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babalu Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 We should go after Burakovsky who is of Russian decent but grew up in Sweden. Perfect fit for the Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. Much better than listening to guys who got fired for their opinion not being very good, such as Button. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runtzguy Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Am I the only one who is upset about this pick? Vasili Podkolzin had awkward as skating and he reminds me of Ryan Smyth. Not that Ryan Smyth isn't good but I would have chosen Matthew Boldy. I just do not see Vasili Podkolzin becoming a first liner. He looks to me to be more like a Ryan Smyth or Alex Burrows player. Good utility player but not one that can lead a team. Sigh.... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boldy is a weak skater so make up your mind about the skating weakness complaint He was playing on such a stacked team, a lot of these guys may have benefited from Hughes etc, very risky vs a guy that was the leader on his team at one tourney Edited June 22, 2019 by shad0w4life 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
