I went to the fights and a hockey game broke out. lol Really fun games. But a 20yo in that league? You don't have to be an expert. Next stop, Niagara University. Does that sound even remotely practical for a path? It felt like they ran out of guys on their list. After the two 4th's, weren't picking for a while. Probably a regional scout pounding the table. Would have rather Kiviharju. Although most teams won't take a defenceman that small Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robrob74 Posted June 29 Report Share Posted June 29 We had a 4th but didn't have a 5th so we gained the 5th and a 6th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robrob74 Posted June 29 Report Share Posted June 29 Also, we don't have a 7th so the extra 6th makes up for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My kid played Jr B in Calgary and the best players were WHL overagers that had gotten cut and were going back to school...not on a path to the NHL anymore...very weird pick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard Sigalet talk about how they pick goalies and he talked about where they were gonna play and what that meant for their timeline and when the flames would need to make a decision on them as a factor. A CHL guy they would need to sign in 2 yrs vs a guy playing in Europe or going NCAA and how the rest of their pipeline is graduating. Not gonna lie but I kinda hate that.

travel_dude Posted June 29 Report Share Posted June 29 There is always going to be one thrown away pick. It may be this last one or the fact they traded to get two picks when they had B2B picks. I'm not sure if there is much quality to be had from this point on. Maybe a surprise player, but unlikely a star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The London Diamonds are the Knights farm team. Typically, the 16yos may go there first and earn a spot with the big team. Otherwise, they're great games to watch for $10.

sak22 Posted June 29 Report Share Posted June 29 Well for the how valuable is Holtz discussion. I think I'm glad with not trading Marsktrom at the deadline. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO, it's fine to pick a kid in the feeder leagues like AJHL or BCHL or an overager that is crushing the CHL. There are risks and maybe he was passed over for good reasons in the other drafts....But, an overager in a feeder league? That's probably the worst of the worst place to go. I mean we draft this guy then lin the 5th go for Misa. Man, Carolina picked Poirier's brother. Spitting image of his brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
