By the way, I’ve tried to send DM’s to multiple regulars on the HB board. I think EK has cut off my ability to DM people. I got through to superhenderson. Sent ones to MacPatty and Tojo. Was trying to send more to Grinder, Kid and Rolo and I started getting error messages about those people didn’t exist. Oh well.

were they banned too?

What other notable RFAs are left? Rossi? Dubas indeed is sitting on his hands unless he is strictly focused on one in particular.

I’ve read a few positive reviews on the Pens draft. Pronman gave them a B+. We certainly added a lot of size….which I like.

grinder probably has the biggest boner after that draft. Surprised he hasn’t come in to say some shit about it haha

With Pietrangelo going down… could we swing an EK to Vegas trade?

[Brownsoldier]

Dude the isles had a great draft. It’s pretty amazing the difference between Lou and Darch…

Yeah I’m personally not a huge fan with the route Dubas went. I would have much rather had Eklund, but for what it’s worth, TopDown Hockey had Kindel as 8th overall, and most draft people had Zonnon in the mid-20s. Horcoff seemed like a pretty big reach, but he didn’t play a lot at Michigan so TopDown’s model wasn’t very kind to him.

Wish they would have done Eklund Kindel back to back if they were that high on Kindel. Like RW says, bottom 6 guys are a dime a dozen, would have rather swung for guys with higher upside. A lot of comparatives have Kindel compared to Brayden Point so.. hopefully that works out.

Yeah I am of the same camp. I would very happily be wrong if he ends up being pretty good.

Not really seeing much worth seeing. 6’6” kid who plays pretty soft and can’t score in juniors. Very nice.

Rumours starting to pick up more about rust being traded as well as accari

I trust Dubas in trades more than anything so hopefully it’s for a kings ransom.

Thanks for the Day 2 blog, 10er, I think most of us are in agreement with the choices Dubas made yesterday. Sort of a head scratcher.

I definitely hope we see some more action here on day 2.

The 3rd pick seems more like a longer term project to me. 2nd pick Jesse Marshall is in love with so I’ll take that as a good sign. I
It seemed like we could have absolutely stolen eklund and Aitcheson at our
Picks. Loved their highlights. Oh well. There is so much info that we are not privy to, including the costs to move up, etc. hopefully today we see more player movement.

[Brownsoldier]

I have turned into a fan of our first pick.

Damn islanders. Wow sis they win this draft in all ways.

and we were SO close to winning the draft. It’s pretty remarkable how lucky they’ve gotten.

[Brownsoldier]

Wow. The picks I wanted to make, back to back. Fuckin brutal.

[Brownsoldier]

Aaaaaaaand ok let’s begin to be annoyed.

[Brownsoldier]

I don’t hate the pick. Some of my favorites are still dropping so I’ll hold judgement.
