Another D-man, wow

Can't say I've read much on Lindstram but he has a solid draft profile which is good, were really emphasizing the defense this draft. Big, raw, defensively solid, edgy defender who has seems to have gotten lost in the pile of high-end Swedish defensemen. Makes a hard first pass out of his end. No flash, just a really strong on his skates player who is really solid in his own end. Blocks shots, clears the front, and plays the body with regularity and some snarl. Is starting to show progress as an offensive zone player displaying a cannon from the back end. Has shown more confidence in jumping up in the play. Is more than willing to be a total team guy and stand up for his teammates. A sleeper who might surprise.

Any relation to Ryan O'Reilly? :flirt:

Pekar is listed as a LW fromn what I'm reading, Sabres called him a C, probably since he doesn't have high end speed.

Gruden would be solid choice.

6'4" over 200 lbs in Samuelsson and room to fill in his frame, were really taking care of that back end, great pick!

How about Sampo Ranta ? He already models his game after Eichel. PROFILE • IN HIS SOPHOMORE SEASON WITH THE SIOUX CITY MUSKETEERS OF THE USHL, RANTA FINISHED THIRD ON THE TEAM IN GOALS AND SECOND IN POINTS (TIED) AFTER PRODUCING 23-14—37 IN 53 GP. • RANTA WAS A MEMBER OF FINLAND’S GOLD MEDAL-WINNING TEAM AT THE 2018 UNDER-18 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP (1-1—2 IN 7 GP) AND REPRESENTED HIS COUNTRY AT THE 2017 IVAN HLINKA MEMORIAL (1-1—2 IN 4 GP). • MODELS HIS STYLE OF PLAY AFTER SABRES FORWARD JACK EICHEL. • HAS COMMITTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN FOR THE 2018-19 SEASON.

He'd be a solid choice. Would set up our D nicely.

Kimmelman calls him Blake Wheeler, guy from sporting news says he's a true power forward with a very high ceiling, the hell are you talking about?

You wanted the average Veleno but the 6'4" Noel who can do it all is a hell no?

Serron Noel please and thank you.

He's average not elite at anything sounds like many we have on the roster now.

I'd love Serron Noel F

Give them time it's bound to happen.

Fact, you will die some day.

Will a goalie go in round 1?

Wow Sakic looks terrible.

NHL draft has always been strange.

I'm hoping Jakub Lauko LW makes it to us.

Awesome reactions lol

Damn I'm old,. I've watched Keith Tkachuck drafted, retired and now watching his kids get drafted

They should have traded for O'Reilly.

Everyone in sports hates losing, everyone of these guys are competitors, only the selfish express that to the media. No need to give them even more fuel to the fire and the words he said also linger with others in the locker room, that's what creates bad environments in the first place.

Anyone who openly admits to losing the passion for the game to social media outlets should be immediately jettisoned the hell out of here whether we all knew it or not, this from a guy who drove drunk straight into a Timmy Ho's? STFU and play your ass off, you're on a young team and you're preaching like I've lost the love of the game? If he's on the team still I'd be disappointed in Botteril but I'm pretty sure the rumblings are already in the works and have been for awhile.
