Should've seen if NYI was willing to move 16 & 17 for 9. Could've gotten Aitcheson, Carbonneau.

Eklund is going to be a very good pick in the late teens.

Hagens was gone. Why would they?

McQueen. Get the big center to go with the smaller center. Malkin-lite and Crosby-lite.

14 years wasn’t patience enough I guess. Meh, what four or more?

[GoPuckYourself]

Islanders just selected an 11 year old... wtf. 

[DarthEbriate]

As a recap from earlier this year... his Star Wars equivalence:

Radim Mrtka - MRK-3 Assassin Prototype. The MRT-K Assassin droid. It's a prototype.

 

Joins BB-4, R2-D6, and Muel-PO. Makes total sense.

He’s a long way away, very unfinished. The one thing we do best- coach our young players

Play to yer strengths 

Then you cry that we develop players and trade them.  

[LGR4GM]

If I were the Sabres I certainly wouldn't be drafting anymore rhd this draft

Mrtka, Strbak, Komarov, McCarthy,  Kleber and they added Kesselring. Not all of them will be nhl guys but man is there a bit of a jam.

Again one track mind for that loser of a Karen, Kevyn.

Yep. What part doesn’t make sense? That’s what we do - develop them then trade them. You expect me to be excited we are signing up for another round?

And Dahlin plays on the right side just fine.

But the center spine is Helenius and Östlund.

 

I like the Isles draft. 3 picks helps, but I really like Aitcheson. Eklund is great at 16. And Schaefer.

 

Schaefer, Schaefer, Schaefer. Mental miss there. Edited and fixed... before anyone noticed???

Hagens went to Boston

Schaefer,  Aitcheson, and Eklund is pretty solid work.

My bad, I thought you were crapping on us again and being sarcastic about developing players.  Force of habit I suppose.

Equal opportunity sarcasm

Another really good pick.

[LGR4GM]

Ok now trade Byram to St Louis for Kyrou and Carbonneau

But the NHL is trading 23 year old 70 point forwards to get their hands on one!!  😏

Wow Drew Barrymore dodged a bullet, Tom Green looks homeless. 

[Thorny]

Maybe the name of the game was a quiet offseason for the transition to Jarmo

Well, he will need a full evaluation year to determine just what he has to work with, right?

A few guys I like heading into day #2.  But a lot of these guys are similar grouping in terms of attributes, skill, etc.  Just give me someone who will punch you for smiling.
