Chainey is pretty good for a 7th round pick.
Popugaev is probably the best pick we made today. Lots of potential - willschulme
Completely agree! As someone from Halifax, I was hoping for him and Fortier too. Shocked Fortier wasn't picked (led the team in points). Chainey is a week away from not being eligible until next year's draft, so he has nice upside |

All in all a pretty good draft (sorry Nolan fans). Offensively built a pipeline of good talent. Still thought is was a mistake to let the flyers jump one spot ahead of us for Ratcliffe, but I am happy with the draft. Puzzled by the goalie selection, similar to last year. Assume Ray knows what he is doing. |

You're really in a great spot here, either you're wrong and the Devils have a great player or you're right and you'll be vindicated. Win-win. |

Chill and hit the bar hard tonight. Your nightmare will soon be over (once Nico starts playing). You are usually the voice of reason on this board, but you are way to depressed right now....can't change that pick now. |

So our team has Micro-Helgeson and Yakupov lite. Awesome. Still, let's see what happens. Both of these moves could end up looking brilliant.
A big bunch of our future seems to depend on these guys. Rest of the draft seems pretty good. I'm even fine with Ray's annual goalie crap shoot. |

I'd take Yakupov. We'd be able to give him real minutes to see if he doesn't actually suck. |

I think I am pretty happy with all our picks. I am really happy we got Popagaev and in the 4th round ! guy is 6'5 and can score and move, I'm very excited for him. Also really like the Boqvist pick and that he tries to resemble kuznetsov and can score! Got another Huge goalie to and some D overall I think we did alright (draft wise).
I wasn't to pleased of our lack of movement though... thought we had ammunition and now we don't unless we unload a Greene, Zajac or Cammy and even then what do they get you ? We need more amo for the big draft next year ! Let's go Ray Not soold on Mueller land us Shatts or something. |

He put up legitimately very good numbers as a rookie (especially for an 18 year old). I think Edmonton really damaged him. |

Read somewhere we got one of the top grades in the draft. I'd agree. I just don't understand why Ray likes to take a goalie nobody is going to draft with a mid round pick when it seems those guys would be around late.
The Rangers made some questionable picks. Which doesn't mean their guys won't be good but if you're grading from expectations they could have taken some flashier players. Just saying I like the way the Devils ran thier draft better.
Ray owes us a trade or a good free agent. |

Dead on right. As good as I think we did, I think Philly did better, scooping in to take Ratcliff was a great move. Like our draft, think Philly got stronger and already had a better prospect pool, Islanders got stronger and Rangers seem to be wandering. |
