s4xon Posted June 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Wow, just saw a video of Poirier, They weren't kidding....the kid has wheels. Still picked too high, but at least he's not a pylon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cross16 Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Exactly... IMO it was a waste of #22... I don't consider a pick a waste when you get a solid prospect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_dude Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Anaheim goes off the board too... Would we really be criticizing Calgary as hard if Shinkaruk wasn't there? I guess that's my only question at this point. It just seems eerily similar to last year. Going off the board with highly rated players still available. Not saying this kid won't be good, but at 22nd instead of 28th? Makes one wonder what is up with the 28th. Is that in play? And I don't mean for second rounders.

How would 28 be in play for anything significant? I'm sure teams would have asked for 22 at least... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s4xon Posted June 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 HAHA, Dano. I guess Calgary isn't going off the board too much. The last 3 have been surprises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_dude Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Wow, CLB picks a player comparable to Mikael Backlund? This is getting a bit weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kehatch Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 At least we aren't the only ones going off the board (Dano, Theodore) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geos Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 So Hagg is available, this needs to be done. But it's going to be Fucale, I can almost sense it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flames-fan-911 Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 I swear to god if Calgary doesn't take Fucale and takes Hartman, Hagg, Erne, Zykov...anyone like that, I will forgive the Poirier pick. I like Poirier but I will like him more if we steal a guy at 28. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carty Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 I don't consider a pick a waste when you get a solid prospect Not a waste, just a waste of not taking what I think were better choices at #22... I would have rather they used that pick on Shinkaruk, or one of a couple of others that were still available... eg: Hockey Writers had Poirier at #42... http://thehockeywriters.com/emile-poirier-the-next-ones-2013-nhl-draft-prospect-profile/ I agree with him being rated in that range or even lower, and I also think he might have still been there in the 3rd round for the Flames...

cross16 Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 I dont like the term off the board. In this draft I really believe from about 16 or 18 up to say 46 ish you can make cases for guys in that range and for different reasons like certain players because you have such a solid group of prospect with decent NHL upside so in not shocked at all you are seeing different teams Iike different guys.

s4xon Posted June 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Ok Feaster and Co. land us a RW in Zykov or a D in Hagg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am starting to calm down a bit on this pick. Every team has different rankings, so it is hard to judge based on publications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I would have preferred someone else too I just don't think you can call a pick as waste when you get a solid prospect. It's not like they got a brutal player or something.

flames-fan-911 Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Hmm...could be worse I guess. Klimchuk has some upside. Would have preferred the other guys I listed though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cross16 Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 I knew it was going to be Klinchuk. Not an awful pick but there are so many guys I prefer I don't love it either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
