NHL Draft: Scouts Breakdown Draft Picks

I'm excited for the day when we have these big guys in the lineup!

I don’t dislike the picks today. But a part of me felt, “So we’re just gonna keep doing what we did under Dorion - focusing only on size and paying no attention to other attributes?” Got our RD yesterday, and today we just kept drafting the big LDs and LWs we always draft. No centers, RWs, or goalies. Three big LWs, and two big LDs. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Edit: The only RWs under contract in our entire system are Giroux, Batherson, Boucher and MacEwen. That’s four. We need eight just to fill out our NHL and AHL clubs. Don’t talk to me about Matthieu Joseph, he’s supposed to be a LW. I guess I’m talking more about R shot wingers, since guys like Jo can play either wing.

If they were going to go for Eliasson why not trade back and collect some more draft capital?

Couldn’t make the smart pick, and draft Buium @ 7. Make me $1000 for Buium under 7.5 pick. No has to draft a Defenseman not even close to Buium potential. Buium > Yakemchuk Let’s revisit in 5 yrs and see who’s right.
