NHL Draft Game Thread

[Scoops Bolling]

I'd love to see the Bruins try to move up and grab Gauthier. He's the type of goal scorer this team needs.

So much for that hope!

 

[TSC]

Wow. I'm shocked Philly didn't draft Jones. He'd be perfect for them. This is a good pick though.

 

[TSC]

Ah fuck. There goes that hope.

 

[cshea]

Zack Kassian 2.0

 

[burstnbloom]

Phew on Jones. Thought he'd fall and I was scared.

 

[TSC]

Now that Jones is off the board - my binkie for the Bruins is Debrincat. They'd never go with someone that small, but the kid can put the puck in the net.

Blues GM Doug Armstrong also says none of the offers for Kevin Shattenkirk are even close to what he'd consider accepting. Will be patient

The Blues could just keep him like the Bruins kept Eriksson.

To not compete next year makes the Krejci and Seidenberg contracts even more bitter. They need a veteran D.

You're not concerned by the possible "Lemieux effect" of him playing alongside McDavid then Strome?

 

[cshea]

Debrincat...small as hell, but 104 and 101 points in the OHL the past 2 season. Risky, but that's a lot of offense.

 

[burstnbloom]

I like mascherin, debrincat and Kirk special Niemalenin.

 

[TSC]

He's got an elite shot/release. Let Krejci or Spooner feed him in the slot and he'll bury his fair share.

I mean - at this point it's all a crap shoot anyways. Kid has two straight years of 50+ goals. He's doing something right.

 

[Dropkick Izzy]

Was looking at all those Yanks and was curious: most Americans in the first round 11 (2010).

 

[TSC]

One off the board pick I can see the Bruins making, based on how last years draft went - Will Bitten. Put up some decent numbers on a team with a ton of issues throughout the season. May be an undervalued player based on circumstances out of his control.

 

[PedroSpecialK]

DeBrincat or Niemelainen will be there. That's a nice relief

 

[cshea]

Yzerman looks shaken up, Stamkos is gone.

 

[TSC]

DeBrincat or Niemelainen will be there. That's a nice relief

Niemelainen may be there for their second round pick. Go small or go home. DeBrincat!

 

[Salem's Lot]

Come on DeBrincat!

 

[TSC]

Will Bitten, or Alex DeBrincat. Come onnnnnnn Donnie.

 

[cshea]

I'm OK with DeBrincat or Niemelainen.

 

[Luis Taint]

 

[Dropkick Izzy]

They can play "Cat Scratch Fever" when he scores. I'm on board.

 

[cshea]

14 year old kid says something. News at 11.

He had great stats on a terrible team. He would be an interesting pick.

 

[Salem's Lot]

Do they let Charlie make this one?

 

[Luis Taint]

Who?

 

[TSC]

.....who?

 

[Salem's Lot]

Who the fuck is this kid?

 

[Senator Donut]

I hate the Bruins so much too

 

[PedroSpecialK]

I have no idea. I know Frederic less than I knew Senyshyn last year.

 

[Jeff Frye's Face Mask]

Who is this guy?

 

[Manzivino]

Sweeney gotta Sweeney

 

[TSC]

Late second round projected.

Fuck you Donnie. Fuck you.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Holy Hockey Butt!!!!

 

[Maximus]

Brilliant, nice return for Martin Jones Donny.

 

[Salem's Lot]

Awesome third line upside at 29.

 

[FelixMantilla]

Projected to be a third line center. We're not going to know for years, but for now this certainly seems a major disappointment.

 

[Two Youks]

Did they just draft a 4th liner with a 1st round pick?

 

[The Napkin]

Projected as a 3rd line center? Can't pass up that kind of value in the 1st round

 

[cshea]

4 goals in the USNDP last year. Nice.

 

[TheRealness]

The NBC guys think he's a third line center at best. Um, ok? To the Google machine...

 

[AimingForYoko]

Popped in here to see if you guys could tell me who this was.

And I guess not.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

I hate the Bruins so much too

This is great.

 

[RedOctober3829]

He looks 14.

If they're lucky. I'm guessing completely wasted draft pick.

 

[Manzivino]

To be fair, the Bruins draft list is limited to players whose name Charlie Jacobs can say out loud.

 

[ngruz25]

Here's the game that inspired that McAvoy Tweet: http://www.hockey-reference.com/boxscores/201305210NYR.html

 

[Kull]

Kid was amazed to be drafted. Period.

 

[PedroSpecialK]

All I can say is it's better than going for projected 3rd liner Zach Hamill at #8.

That's about all I got.

 

[TSC]

I mean - what the fuck do all those people know. Donnie - you clearly know better than pretty much every one else out there. Definitely trust your gut. That's the right thing to do.
