Yeah not good. Turcotte wouldn't been understandable, but the pick is Byram.

Turcotte is the hometown boy. Byram by far the more attractive pick.

They almost could have gotten Dach at their original draft position.

This must be Byram

Yeah. Good pick. Man the Avalanche a building a great team.

This must be Byram

To be honest, a no brainer. They're getting pretty rich on defence.

Makar - EJ - Barrie - Zadorov - Girard - Timmins - and now this guy... ouch.

Combine it with their offense. Scary

LA scooped up Turcotte... of course they did... IMO stolen from Chicago

Zadarov is what the Devils need. Not afraid to shut guys right down, love what he had to say about Tkchuk and how he wasnt worried about him at all lol.

Seider was a reach pick... if I was a Detroit fan, it would still be hard to hate the pick. The guy's something of a beast.

That's a really hard pick to justify.

Geez, the Sabres can have Cozens.

I question his intensity.

Wow you guys were hoping for Broberg to fall

Holland picks a Swede... surprise surprise...

Broberg skates like the wind, though.

Wow you guys were hoping for Broberg to fall

If we’re trading back into the first I want Soderstrom.

Such a good pick. Sigh.

Yeah good value for them. They can afford for him to play in Russia for a bit and even absorb him never coming over.

2OA pick was stolen from LA so Thanks to CHI, Kings get Turcotte 😍😍

I’ll take it!

lol

So Arizona trades from 14 to 11 to take a guy ranked 14.

Soderstrom is probably good player, but I don't see him being that much of a better pick than the other guys around him to justify trading a 2nd round pick. Good trade for Philly.

lol

Welp. Someone traded for him, lol.
