Onddeck Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 We're now at the point where in our situation, we MUST draft for need. Forget BPA right now, this next pick better be a forward, we need to fill up the system with forwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RizzMB30 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 The only reason drafting this goalie sucks is didn't we trade this years 3rd round for Palmieri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SterioDesign Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Blake Speers... he's a scorer at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njd3b1ink Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Speers looks like a good pick. C/RW that had offensive upside. Also apparently he didnt get as many minutes on Sault Ste. because they had several overage players and he still put up 67 points. Im happy with it.Kinda hoping we can get Timashov in the 4th round.

CommonDreads Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 The 6th Round pick of Seney I find entirely bizarre. 5'8", overager, decent production at best, and plays for the worst development program in D1 NCAA ice hockey, it makes no sense to me to take him instead of a risk/reward like Korostelev or Chris Wilkie, this pick has zero value in my eyes.

He had to say, don't mess up everything we've built. It sounds kind of smug. Didn't people compare Hall to Crosby too? I still can't believe they got McDavid, what a joke.

Derlique Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Wait. People are complaining about the 6th rounder? Led his sh!tty team in scoring with a .8 lot as a 18/19 year old playing in the hockey east. What's not to like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would've been perfect if Blackwood was a forward. Can't get over that one.

Daniel Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 So according to CBJ's beat writer, Shero's asking price for CBJ to trade up to six was 8, 34 and 129, but supposedly that was when Hannifin had yet to be taken. He doesn't say what was discussed right before the Devils made their pick, but I imagine Columbus was not offering much as CBJ apparently had Werenski as the fourth best player on their board after McDavid, Eichel, and Hannifin, and they felt there was a very good possibility that he'd still be available.

Derlique Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Jarmo said that Werenski was "their guy" but I bet they would've taken Provorov over him had they had the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draisaitl may not be "proven" yet but his odds of turning into a real quality top line player are about as high as they can get for a prospect. If the Devils somehow draft Hanifin, Provorov, or Werenski, then I'd be fine with a trade like that. Funny how Larsson ended up there anyway. This scenario would have been good. On 6/9/2015 at 12:19 AM, Derlique said: I like his skillset but he doesn't produce much better than Crouse and isn't being labeled as an elite defensive player. Still want Barzal This was on Zacha. At least we didn't go with Crouse. On 6/9/2015 at 12:30 AM, CommonDreads said: I agree that assuming the Big 5 are gone (McDavid, Eichel, Hanifin, Marner, and Strome), Barzal would be my top choice. It's really just a matter of what type of player you'd rather have, a speedy playmaker (Barzal) or a strong goal scorer (Zacha). We went the wrong way. On 6/16/2015 at 6:23 AM, nessus said: That quote is scary, but Conte also made some comments after last year's draft that the players he chose were mostly complementary, and not the types you build a franchise around. That's the one thing that is keeping me optimistic here. I still have no interest in Crouse. I'm at a point now where I'll be frustrated if the Devils do not select Barzal at 6, unless Marner and/or Hanifin are available (I suppose a few others like Rantanen and Zacha could be decent picks too). I'm not even sure Strome is a better pick than Barzal, to be honest. Plus I would hate to see him go to Philly to be mentored by Giroux. On 6/16/2015 at 9:46 PM, thecoffeecake said: Marner, Barzal, Hanifin, Ratanen, or bust for me. I agree that Crouse is essentially a worst case scenario, aside from moving the pick for a Kessel. Hit, hit, hit and hit. It's amazing that this board could broadly see who the best players were , almost to the point of consensus, but the Devil's scouting team could not. On 6/17/2015 at 12:05 AM, William D'Aquila said: Matteau is a good pick, he is going to be in the NHL for a long time. I assume that is who you are referring to because no one else the Devils have drafted has a Zubrus like build or skill set. Right now you can make the case that the Devils potentially drafted the two best players following pick 28. http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/draft/nhl2012e.html None of Williams posts aged well. This being the finest of the bunch. On 6/17/2015 at 1:02 AM, William D'Aquila said: Conte's drafting history does not indicate he values size. teddy, gio, mccauley, scarlett et cetera. Kujawinski is going to be on the roster by next year. And another On 6/25/2015 at 4:34 PM, Derlique said: Craig Morgan @cmorganfoxaz 11m11 minutes ago Phoenix, AZ Coyotes GM Don Maloney says he's up to 4-5 "legitimate offers" for the No. 3 overall pick in the NHL Draft, with 3 to 4 more "tire-kickers." Wow. This is getting pretty nuts. Also, I believe this is good news seeing how most of those teams are likely targeting Provorov or Hanifin Arizona should have kicked a few less tires. On 6/25/2015 at 6:23 PM, Onddeck said: then take Hannifin at #6. Then trade Lars to Colorado for ROR and #10... and with #10 we take one of Barzal/Rantanen... eh?? Can you imagine On 6/26/2015 at 3:42 AM, nessus said: Who do you guys like for our second round picks? I'm really hoping for Gurianov at 36, but I also like Beauvillier, Yan, and Dergachev. We may get lucky with Kylington at 36, but otherwise, I think Aho and Andersson seem like they could be good picks if we're going with D for one of the second rounders. Timashov is another interesting prospect who may fall into a later round. I am bumping this thread because there are some spectacular takes in here, some good , some terrible. All I can say is I wish Nessus had been in charge of our draft that year. Every player Nessus mentions in this thread was a hit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to go back through. I was having a look at the 2014 thread as well. That was a shot show. A lot of posters were keen on Conor Bleackley , who went at 23 in the end, guy has currently spent most of his career in the ECHL. Nessus was again spot on in 2014 picking up that Point and Pasternak should be top prioritys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a move for 4-5 years down the line. I'm not a fan just because backup goalies are easy to find and we have more pressing needs but to be fair our goalie depth in the org is terrible after Kinkaid. At least he's a big boy, 6'4".
