s4xon Posted June 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 WTF is with all the friggen LW's. What the hell. Not a bad pick, but man, come on. We need RW and D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geos Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Klimchuk isn't an awful pick, but makes zero sense in the context of getting Poirier too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travel_dude Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Iggy for Klimchuk. Another left wing for the team. Woot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyabs Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 I like Klimchuck. They're going for top 6 players.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordxan Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 it's official, Feaster and Co just blew the rebuild in this draft. Fire the Mgt and Scouting team JUNK! Outside of Monahan, (thank god he didn't blow that), otherwise, completely elbowing the bed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTech780 Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 I like Klimchuk. At least it wasn't Fucale or Petan. I don't think that he is a LW matters. I love the Steve Larmer comparison. If he can be that type of player, I will be super happy. Lots of skill with these picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of Monahan, (thank god he didn't blow that), otherwise, completely elbowing the bed! To be fair, you don't rebuild in one draft. There is still Ekblad (Draisitl for me) next year and McDavid the year after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flames-fan-911 Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Monahan: 31g, 78p in 58 games Poirier: 32g, 70p in 65 games Klimchuk: 36g, 76p in 72 games When you look at the players on the whole, even if we're frustrated for missing out on Shinkaruk or some others like Hartman or Hagg, we added 3 diverse players that have some serious offensive skill and high hockey IQ.

s4xon Posted June 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 I really did think that the Flames would draft overseas a little more. After seeing what they've got in Sven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTech780 Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 I believe that Klimchuk can play a little center as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if the goal was to be in range for McDavid...Guess they did well, lol! Seriously though, there was a great opportunity here to do MUCH better, like a Crt? a D? Seriously we DID NOT need another LW. The only way this makes any kind of sense is if they go hard after Vinny and a D in FA. Even then, it's just a stop gap. They really have no idea what the hell they are doing do they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyabs Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 I actually don't mind the picks. I was sortof expecting Klimchuk at 22 (he was a part of the edge program and is from Calgary). No Fucale or defensive defenseman in the first round is good... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wreckening Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 I don't think we've done all that bad. 3 good players with some great upside. We could have done a lot worse. I still think there's a trade in the works or we have an excellent shot at getting Lacavalier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordxan Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 "The three guys we picked we had ranked in the top 13". Someone needs to get fired. This right here, other than Monahan, all JUNK....The only good thing is I guess Fames maybe in the zone for Mcdavid in a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_dude Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Considering who is still left on the board, I hope Jay does some serious trade talk for 2nd round pick(s). Too many good players to wait til 67. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If these picks turn out to be offensive dynamo's, then they have trade value. After they've risen their stock, thats when you go for the D or the RW's of quality. I agree, they had many more alternatives. Little miffed they didn't take Hagg or Zykov, but what can we do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyromancer Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 I predict many of our family here, but not all, will be pleased with our 1st pick but there may be considerable miscontent with the 2nd & 3rd picks. Of course we will have to wait for all these player's development (long or short) for the final verdict to be realized. As I said Time will be the ultimate judge of this draft...

robrob1974 Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Now we have, Glencross Gaudreau Baertschi Poirier Klimchuk I think we move Glencross and Gaudreau plus this off-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the players outside the top 10 really have a good shot at playing in the NHL this year. We traded Tanguay, Cammalleri will be gone after this year that leaves Baertschi and Glencross, when Klimchuk and Poirier are ready to step up to the NHL Glencross will be ready to move on. The main thing is to get assets. Calgary did that IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I think we just get a couple guys to skate backwards on the right wing. That solves the problem. BTW, we also have a glut at C. Stajan, Backlund, Knight, Horak, Reinhart, Jones, Arnold, Jankowski... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
