I will say this about the Edmonton pick... they need a goalie that can play for them now, and next year, and the year after, etc. etc. Goalies aren't like forwards, you don't draft one with the hope of seeing him next year or in two years. Goalies take 4, 5, and pretty often 6 years to break into the NHL full-time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kobayashi Maru Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 So many potential great picks still available: Raty Morrow Chayka Schmidt Klimovich Pinelli Chibrikov Robertsson Dach We should end up with a potentially really good player in the 2nd and maybe two if we move Schmidt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but better to start now and pick one with very high potential in Wallstedt than pick next year and take even more time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 I have a feeling Guenther is going to be better than a few of the guys taken before him, but at the same time - he's yet another RW - probably the position of least need for this organization - Boeser, Hoglander and now Garland - as well as Podkolzin - (and Jake if he ever recovers)..... I also have a bit of a 'bias' towards the value of defensemen and centers, so unless a winger is one helluva talent, all things considered I'd prefer to take care of the 'battery' positions.

JeremyCuddles Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Raty still on the board after being considered a top pick for a while. Character issues? Skating? Injury? Hockey sense? Mixture of the above. If it's not character issues, I'd take a swing at him with our 2nd rounder. High ceiling, very low floor. Classic boom or bust player. Love to gamble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantum Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) Absolutely disgusted by that Montreal Canadiens pick. Totally classless. And putting out a half assed statement after the selection just goes to show how far the NHL needs to come in terms of taking sexual assault and sexual misconduct seriously. That kid was literally convicted of a sex crime in Sweden and he still becomes a first round pick?!? Gross. I hope the team just wasted the pick and renounce his rights before the start of the season. Much like Mitchell Miller, Logan Mailloux does not deserve to be in an NHL system right now. Also... he asked not to be drafted so he could learn from his mistake and the Canadiens selected him anyways. *puke* Edited July 24, 2021 by Quantum 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raty, Chibrikov, Koivunen and Klimovich I think are the high ceiling guys. If we’ve done our scouting right, it could be a steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like him or Raty personally. Again, that's assuming Raty is without character issues. Think he'd be down to do a Skype interview with me? Or whatever the kids are using to communicate with each other that for some reason isn't Discord. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammertime Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) Getting excited there are at least 10 guys I would consider 1st round picks available. In no particular order as of yet I'd be pretty stoked with any of em.
