Good point Totem this format is horrible back in the day you can see trade's going down just by looking at the table's.

Watching all the GMs on their phones trying to figure out who they are talking with.

I think as we move into the 10-20 range the trades will begin.

He’s 6’0 180??? I like him because he plays hard all the time.
- paulr

Oh the way people were talking about him i thought he was bigger than 185, if he does play hard i do like those kinds of players

Jesus Bucci what a dumb question

What is Buffalo doing, hahaha

The kid works the family farm from 6:00 am until 7:00 pm then does his hockey conditioning seven days a week. This kid will be outstanding.

Buffalo is just Buffaloing

Frondell should be a good pick. Potential to be a 1C, maybe RW. Good depth coming
- breadbag

Great pick! Frondell was the best player and best fit with the Hawks available at #3.

Spinning in circles adding defenceman after defenceman while looking to move Byram.

Think Mrtka will be really good in a couple of years, not sure what BUF does with all those defensemen.

No clue, but the worse thing is Buffalo seemingly has no clue either.

Damn what is with this place.

The same guy who loved Demidov thinks he's the best player in this draft

Well hope is a good thing ,would rather had Porter .

Boy this format Sucks !!!

Bit of a reach for Kindel based on predictions.

Small but sure scores a lot.

#12 to PHI for #22 and #31. PIT getting more picks for the rebuild/retool

Let’s hope so. He’s done what he’s had to in the past to get his guy.

Wiz said this isn't a draft you want to give up 2nd round picks, i think he said the fall off is after 60 i think.

- paulr

Will definitely need to move up if so

Any idea who KD would be targeting to move up?
- SaskHawkFan

Use the Philly trade as precedent and maybe net #16 or #17 with 25 and 33?

Could say the same last draft but he still did it for Vanacker.

How physical is Zannon, have you seen? ....... Saw so little of Zannon I hate to say anything on him but what I did see was really quick hands in close and he seemed to have power and athleticism behind everything he did.
- Mr Ricochet

I just got on line to see who we got, and Frondell is really a good pick.

Zonnon is a hockey smart, high-motoring straight-line player who has some , short-area quickness and dangle. He is a bit different than many a prospect in that his developed strengths are in his defensive game, but he also has effective skills on the attack, where he continues with a high urgency, whether it is with his handles, his high end percentage passes, or his physicality, and ability to have success in traffic areas.He is a player who could fill a variety of roles in the NHL, because the vision and glimpses he can drive play offensively. A lot of his skills tie to him improving his skating mechanics, with tightening his turning motions, and his stride is better, getting less sloppy, but he needs to get better control on his outside edges, and swap some stability for the frailing quickness that looks like he is not in control or unable to out deke defenders, forcing his to having to make passes into open space. But until the skating gets there, you have a kid who plays on your 4th line, not a middle six two attacker who threatens at both ends. There is enough to like in the emerging package to buy early. Skate wonkiness or not, he gets break aways in the QMJHL on occasion, because he IS a playmaker. His engagement level never varies from play to play and works through checks with many plays where he is strong on the puck, reactive, and able connect his offensive forays well. His play off the puck is surprising as he finds passes on the cycle, is willing to run-through opponents, be reactive to the changing possessions, has a good backhander and can seal. His effectiveness in engagement battling for every inch of ice in board battles and a strong forecheck. Watching him, he always strikes me as the best player out there for his team, because he is a good passer, not because of high end agility, and is hunting down the next play when he no longer has the biscuit. Loves board engagement, and engaging in the area around the blue paint. No NHL team can ignore how he wins most puck retrievals, how he pressures the opposition, his high end vision and awareness create turnovers and how his motor does idle when he needs to apply back pressure, and position to close off the attackers passing lane. A battler whose feet determine his upside. I have to think he hears his name called as a lie first rounder, or soon after.
