And you guys were rooting for them... cuz not much difference between 19 and 29. There’s a difference.

Someones going to get a huge steal in both Lysell and Wallstedt this late

Yep. And some of these picks happen I’m hoping Lambos or Raty somehow fall to us if we are keeping the pick.

Yeah theres still a lot of guys on the board that im hoping drop to us. Give me any of Lysell, Lambos, Ceulemans, Morrow, or L'Heureux. Just to name a few

Im still hoping it gets moved in a trade though

Also, gotta believe L'Heureux would be gone if he wasn’t such a hot head.

I like Morrow a lot as well, but with L'Heureux you’ve got to worry big time about character issues.

Could’ve had them at 19..

We could have, but unfortunately it didnt line up that way. No reason to constantly bring it up when we had zero control over the situation

Kind of expected in this draft, but theres certainly some questionable picks so far tonight

I’m just saying some said it wasn’t much of anything to drop 10 spots in this year’s draft. I just don’t see it that way.

Betcha Avs pick Raty.

Guess it’s not getting dealt

I don’t know. Someone sell me on Stillman.

Nothing to sell on. Complete reach. Not a good pick at all

Not yet. He gets 1 more week.

Back to back drafts we use a 1st rounder on a player who should go in the 3rd round at the earliest. Whatever, not going to be upset about it. Super thrilled we made the right choice and took Hughes

Not yet. He gets 1 more week.

My son is talking me down. But first Mukhamadullin, now Stillman. In both cases you could have traded back. Not a good look, actually a bad look, should have traded this pick.

Just got home and heard we made a stretch pick on our 29. How bad is this kid?

I don’t know about bad. But he certainly wasn’t on a lot of first round projections.

Hes not bad, he was probably a 3rd rounder. But its the product of how this season went. Not a lot of viewings of everyone and this kid had a pretty good U18 World Championships so some teams(clearly us) overrate him

Here is Todds tweet about him giving some insight: "Don't love the Stillman pick. He has some skill, is very competitive, and will get to dirty areas of the ice. Don't see a overly high ceiling though. Complimentary middle-6 winger if he pans out."

Not yet. He gets 1 more week.

I'll give that if he signs some great bargains FA studs. but I have no hope of that. One step forward and one step back, been the story of this franchise for a decade. How can you eff up the 28th pick, and they did?????

Nevermind. Looks like a plug that racks up a bunch of PIMs and not many points. We drafted a small goon.

16 points 43 PIM in Denmark. 34 points 63 PIM in the OHL.

At least we didn’t make the Montreal pick. Wow.

BRUTAL. I cannot believe they (frank)ing drafted that kid. Absolutely unreal. Especially after everything that is going on with the Blackhawks, and Bergevin was part of their staff at that time. Unreal
