ExWNYer Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 Have no idea.....but, the one question I really have to have an answer to .....was this pick a direct challenge to the addida seamstress who will have to fit his name on the Jersey? No shoulder patches :angry: so extra space for that monstrosity of a name. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norcal Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 I like this pick, Kris Baker had him pegged at pick 54 and seems to think he will be an NHL starter that's good enough for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formerly Allan in MD Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 Hope the "tank" is big enough for Peterson and Vesey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huckleberry Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 So was this a position pick or BPA? Seriously asking; not being argumentative. #1 ranked european goalie, and after losing cal we needed this pick. Luukkonen: "Really happy it's Buffalo. Great organization.. was just there for the Combine. It's a beautiful city." Always good to have a player that actually wants to be here.

pastajoe Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 Do we have any goalies who aren't from Finland/Sweden? Jason Kasdorf is from Winnipeg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IKnowPhysics Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 Based on the fact that 11 goalies would be selected in the 60 picks following this pick (incredibly high number), six of which were taken before our next opportunity to select at #89, I think we did a good job reading the board and taking initiative. Position of need filled with a good prospect. Big goalie with speed. I don't know the deficiencies with UPL, but positioning and technique can be coached.

3putt Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 He's young and learning, other than that he seems good. I just hope MODO likes him to be honest. He is from Finland.

Thorny Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 (edited) It's definitely nice to have a blue chip goaltending prospect in the system. And we added another forward blue-chipper. Still looking for that defensive blue-chipper though. Maybe through trade? Edited June 24, 2017 by Thorny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorny Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 It's certainly an amazing name to say. Probably the best in the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
