WildCard Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 Thorny, ubkev, GASabresFan. I had Backstrom at 12 and Doughty at 6. Scheifele is so goooood Apparently better than Jack according to the Hockey News ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted July 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 I'm going to be inactive until tonight, so I'm going to PM WildCard since I happen to be looking at a post of his right now in case we do get to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 I was close between Backstrom, Scheifele, Subban, Seguin, Doughty. That was my tier for this range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorny Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 Apparently better than Jack according to the Hockey News ;) What did they say? Maybe right now he is, but their trajectory isn't comparable thus far. Jack is the more valuable talent. Gonna make my pick right away. SS seemed to be down for a bit, there.

#freejame Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 Sorry, for whatever reason I haven't been able to access the forum with any regularity. I've been getting either 501 errors or timing out about 8/10 tries on getting on. Not sure if anyone else has been having issue, but it's been pretty sporadic the past week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubkev Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 PK Subban Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GASabresIUFAN Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 This is really hard choice. I'm having a hard time with the fact that we haven't drafted a goalie. Holtby and Bob should really be in this area or higher. But this is a BPA draft and this guy is ranked higher then Holtby and Bob. G-d I hate this guy, but ............ with the 22nd pick, the GASabresFAN selects Boston LW and agitator Brad Marchand. With back to back 35+ goal seasons, who has finally developed his passing game in the more dynamic Boston offense, we should see another strong season from this jerk.

Thorny Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Good pick. I'd rank Price as the best available goalie though over the two you listed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildCard Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 There are about 5 goalies that are all the same, or slightly different, than one another for me. Rather build a strong possession team and back end and let a mediocre goalie handle meh shots. In short, Montreal and the Rangers never succeed, but Nashville, Chicago, Pitt, LA...they all did with meh goalies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorny Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Price had a "down" year though. For next season, I'm taking Price, and that's what we are drafting for. He's still the standard in goal in my opinion. There are about 5 goalies that are all the same, or slightly different, than one another for me.

I'm betting we don't make it far enough in this draft for me to even consider a goalie. Brad Marchand is a piece of sh!t. ...but he's a great hockey player. I'd have taken him if PK went before I picked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taro T Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Gonna have to go with Washington's best player here: Nicklas Backstrom. Had my pick not been 8, both of your picks were the 2 that were getting debated & one of the 2 (most likely Victor) would have gone. STAY OUT OF MY HEAD! :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taro T Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Starting to get weird in here... This is no time for quips my good man. You are on the clock! Fine. Staying w/ the semi-ironically lower cased team, pretty sure a goalie had to get picked sometime in this draft, so might as well go w/ Mr. Holtby.

Randall Flagg Posted July 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 EichSnipe sent me a PM which says "if Taro picks tonight, here are my top 2" which I take to mean that he went to bed, even though it shows him still being "active", so I'm sorry if I'm stealing your thunder by interpreting that the wrong way EichSnipe but I'll put your pick in now. EichSnipe selects Tyler Seguin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
