I gotta be honest, as long as he turns into a legit top 4 NHL Dman is be happy. He and Butcher on the left side and Vatanen/Severson on the right side and we might one day have a legit defense.

Exactly

Pissed Rangers got Miller though

Forgot what I read, think it was a former coach that said Smith is a blend of Ghost and Prov, somewhere in between. He doesnt have a good slap shot like Ghost but everything else. That was the only difference they pointed out.

Is noel the forward version of miller or not as athletic or high of a ceiling ? Noel is still available I think i would like him or berggren but ultimately it wont matter unless we make a deal...

Anyone know what we got in that giant russian, nikita popugaev ?

Not entirely sure, I think Noel’s biggest red flag was consistency/compete level...neither of those guys will be there in the 4th so hopefully we can grab a 2nd or 3rd somehow

Was just thinking how we could... Maybe 6'4 former second round c/rw nathan bastian to the habs for one of their 4 second round picks lol

I’m thinking we may not hear from him again. Still was definitely worth a shot in the 4th round.

I wouldnt mind for us to have a good russian prospect but something seems to always happen when there is a slight chance we could get one lol could of had a good one but a czech was available so we crapped our pants because patty was done. We also could have taken big nichushkin at 9 as he was still there in 2013... Not that he has worked out for dallas.

I’d really like to see them grab Xavier Bouchard at 110 now that we are getting close.

I’m believing more and more that he stays put. Lou and Trots there now, new arena coming, Barzal and just had a great draft. Things looking way up for the Islanders.

Well they took a Dman named Xavier B. Just not the one I wanted.

Size, skating ability and good passing. Can’t be disappointed with getting that in round 4.

Yeah i think i like it. He sounds like he has sone snarl and one of the hardest shots/one timer from the point in this draft class so that is pretty cool.

A little surprised shero didn't move up in the draft to get into the 2nd round, and lack of trades in general
