The later picks seem to be defense first, a couple with some size. Bernard should provide some real muscle in time. And he does possess some offensive upside.

Neb00rs Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 (edited) Rags just traded for the second to last pick in the draft and took Riley Hughes. Seems like someone they could have just invited to camp. Edited June 23, 2018 by Neb00rs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aclc79 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 DET, NYI and Swedish and American players (kudos to these countries' development programs!) seem to have come out the big winners this year. 2 veteran GM's, Holland and Lou, show how it's done.

LittleBallofHate Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 FWIW: Corey MasisakVerified account @cmasisak22 11m11 minutes ago More #NJDevils Paul Castron says they believe Yegor Sharangovich doesn’t have a contract with the KHL and wants to come to North America but they want to speak more with the player/his agent on it. Can be some misinformation on contracts for young players sometimes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleBallofHate Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Ian Pulz Retweeted OHL Prospects @BrockOtten 19m19 minutes ago More In the 6th, NJ took another of my favourites in Mitchell Hoelscher. As mentioned, he does everything well. Plays hard. Needs to get stronger. Offensive upside is unknown to a degree, but I believe in him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triumph Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Lou is the GM of the Islanders although he did say he would not have much of a hand in the draft. Interesting that Sharangovich might come over next season; I thought his selection a little odd because of his age and what the Devils already have in the organization.

Yup. Hired as president of hockey ops, promptly appointed himself GM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nessus Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Detroit rebuilt their team in this draft. They took two major fallers in Zadina and Veleno, and were still able to add another first round talent in Berggren, followed by McIsaac. 7 picks in the first 3 rounds for them, 8 in the top 100. Islanders did quite well also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lou and Conte weren't exactly knockin' 'em dead here the last 10-15 years. In fact, it's funny that only after he leaves the Devils he starts learning how to draft impactful players again instead of taking on the Barry Tallackson's and Nicklas Bergfors' of the world.

Just so long as you remember that once upon a time that was our franchise..... just pointing out that the Scouts/Rockies/Devils weren’t really considered a winning franchise until the mid-90s. Until then we were just a bunch of perennial losers that were perpetually bad with a few odd good seasons mixed in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a sudden urge to knock his books out of his hands and shove him in a locker. He's a future dynamic NHL defenseman. Yea, but how many biology nerds have an enforcer waiting around to help them? Come to think of it, I just realized what all those unemployed NHL enforcers can do now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scouting director Paul Castron said NJ scouts saw them play several times, and Bernard looked like the better prospect at times.

To be fair, we won't know if his picks this draft are impactful for a few years. Bergfors and Tallackson had potential when they got picked too.
