I think he's a higher end Larsson, controls the puck well, skates impressively. #4 on the European Forwards section right behind Puljujarvi. Skated between Tymashov and Nylander at the Worlds. One of the youngest forwards at the WJR. He's just a strong two way kid. Lots of poise!

He was easily a first round talent. He has very high end intangibles. So excited with how this is turning out. I think Pysyk needs a new lease on life and Kulikov checks off some of the boxes for the back end.

I think it's just based on situation and type of player/fit?

Asplund! YES! That's so exciting!

_________-Ristolainen Kulikov-Bogosian McCabe-Franson/Nelson Is that how it would look?

It makes some sense. He'll fit on the second pair pretty well. Hmm.

He's in the handful of guys I like at that pick. I do love Asplund and Grundstrom. But, with Nylander it has to be D at least in the 2nd round. Maybe I'm wrong, Murray/Royce will get who they feel is the best fit.

Dineen, Hajek, Niemaleinen, Clague, Fox, Cederholm, Girard, Mete. There are guys for sure. It depends what you're looking for.

I think Reimer fits with St Louis before Johnson. Reimer went to the west coast and played really well in his 8-10 starts.

We'll see who falls in short order to #38. Hopefully it's a steal! I'm pumped for day two action. Maybe we can pop Fowler for an actual realistic trade. For all those Anaheim Ducks fans who were saying no go without #8, I laughed so hard. Draft starts at 10AM EST. Just a bunch of crap like last year. What else is new. Pascal Laberge, Asplund, Abrahmov, so much better value on the board. McAvoy, was such a good pick for them though. Ugh. But, that's fine. Things don't materialize when you have other GM's holding unrealistic expectations on return. I don't think you overpay for Fowler. Who else is available that you think was worth giving up a major overpay. I would say Shattenkirk is the only guy for that explanation. But, again RHD.

Okay True, I did a lot of looking, you were right. What an exciting pick. I just had my head so in the D need. He definitely was the BPA, maybe a slight tick over Sergachev.

1 year deal in NYI for like 2.5-3.0.

Button stated: A projected to be a third line center, needs to work on skating. Not a scorer. Shrugs. Weird.

Trent Frederic? I'm lost once again with a Boston pick.

Unless they take Ennis, I don't get it.

Chow who?

They're a match for each other. Both boring as straw.

Logan Stanley, meh.

No guarantee yet, but sure it does look brighter now more than ever for Detroit. However, no guarantee! He could prefer the same $$ to be home. We could still end up with Okposo and a defensemen like Fowler etc.

Shrugs, maybe they take Fabbro.

Girgensons or Ennis and a 2nd. About all he's worth.

Wow that would be a godsend!

Good for Charlie, now Buffalo trade up!

I didn't get around the censor, I hate the Bruins. That's the Buffalo standard.

You got your boy, now stop halting my wants! :D Zombie, nom nom nom!
