There are going to be some names out there at those picks that no one thought would be there.

And who knows, Merkley May fall to 39.
- Pete V

Take him in the 2nd

I don't think Rangers take Merkley... they keep discussing character in every interview and that kid is the opposite. But I hope they go for it.

Good call

Mock drafts had him going 12-15 range wasn't a large reach. Bob Mackenzie haad him 12 i believe. Merkley is considered a true boom or bust. Kid can be a star or never see an NHL rink.

I think we were so sold on Whalstrom or the Dmen that were just stunned they didn’t take either. And then the isles get both guys, if they pan out for them it’ll be awful. But it’s so hard to predict 3-4 yrs from now

O’Brian!

Guys, we have no idea what we are talking about.

So Feds, you seem to really follow the Russkies. In your opinion do you think there is a kind of slight bias against them in the draft?

however the burmistrovs and filatovs dont help

but people that knock the russians for that pretend no other countries have guys that are busts

Ok makes me feel a bit better. Although I still might have went with Dobson

I am contacting Ek to give you a character limit on your posts. Enough is enough.

Enough is enough with you here as a troll threatening or mocking others' comments.
So go the heck back to whatever team site you only belong on.

Sometimes we do. I still remember this board being pissed we took McIllrath over Fowler and Taresenko.

And I think it was TJ who was furious we took JT Miller over Saad. Miller is good and all but not Brandon Saad. And sometimes we are dead wrong. I think people were upset with Kreider because he played in some weird league with younger, less skilled players.

Someone going off the board and grabbing Bode soon, I feel it.

Tell him Saver, but please explain further also.

How about back when they selected Hugh Jessiman, the local CT. kid?

Solid pick by the Kings.

All the speculation and only one trade for a 2nd round pick

Maybe kovy gave us the inside scoop and he’s going to sign here to mentor the ruskies?

for the most part imo they just need other russians on the team to befriend.
