The other two rage machines will scream in the corner that they hate me, and that's okay. I think calling a 2nd overall draft pick consensus top-5 right handed defenseman garnering this much of a visceral reaction is silly. I wanted DeBrincat too. I haven't denied that once. At the end of the day we all root for the same piece of laundry. Except for that one dude who says he hopes he's a bust. Lmao, imagine being that dude? My wife is super hot. Dude, you were totally on the Tkachuk for our 2nd. I'm a bit flabbergasted that you're on board with this pick completely. You're not asking yourself, even a little bit, if there was something better out there? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both centres are shrimps and we already have enough of those. Nah winning the lotto fvcked us. If we were at five DeBrincat is most likely a Devil.

Not only did they do that but they admitted that Nemec was a need pick which is a huge red flag to me. Right, they did exactly what people are saying we should have done in the 2017 draft.

CarpathianForest Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Nemec has 48 points in 88 games in the Slovak league and 26 of those points came from this season. Makar was blowing it up before headed the Avs. The comparison is laughable. I think the Devils put a lot of faith in the idea that maybe this guy may be good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope I look like a damn fool when he makes his debut in 2028..But seriously, I hope I am wrong. I am normally all on board with the patient building, but I just don’t get this kid at second overall. Not saying he’s not a good prospect, just that at second overall I’d expect more, or a trade for a debrincat/tckachuk/anyone who makes us better for next season. I guess my patience is wearing thin… Edited July 8, 2022 by devlman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sad they didn't trade for DeBrincat. I just recognize that there's a little area between "exactly what I wanted to happen!" and "literal worst day of my life" and that's where the pick lands. I'm not fist pumping or jumping up and down. I'm also not raging myself into an early grave when I finally tie a game worn jersey around my neck and yeet myself off of the tallest ladder I can find. I'm not saying this is the worst day of my life, but look at his stats. Nemec doesn't really stand out plus he's a D and you know he's not ready for prime time for at least two seasons in order to make sure he develops properly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarpathianForest Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 It's okay guys. I'm sure the guys on here lauding the pick will be okay when Fitz extends Subban one more year. Sure they said previously that Subban needed to go, but now they'll tell us that Subban fits a need and that Fitz knows more than us 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devlman Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Just now, MB3 said: We took a consensus top-5 defensive prospect 2nd overall. It will not be six (!?) years before he sees the ice. He fills a major positional need. Obviously Wright wasn't quite as good as he was projected. My cousin is a former player and his buddy (what a source! friend of a cousin of an internet forum memeber, ironclad you might say) works in some capacity with the LA Kings who got the impression that Wright simply doesn't love hockey all that much. Maybe that isn't true, but maybe that's why he's the first player in 10 years who had exceptional status in his D-2 year get selected outside the top-3. Right off the bat I’m disappointed - consensus top 5 defensemen going second overall already is a reach. They didn’t go BPA, they went on need, which is the wrong approach to drafting. Cooley is compared to Brayden Pointe. Hell, even Jiricek seemed the better pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it's a B team they only let him score 5 goals a game. Is he better than Slafkovsky who only had like 9 goals over a whole season?

devlman Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 I still can’t believe perennial FORTY-goal scorer Debrincat went for the seventh pick. Guess he’s no Nemec. Anyone clamoring for the playoffs next year cannot defend that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil Dan 56 Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 (edited) I wanted Slaf. Would have preferred Debrincat or Tkachuk to Nemec, but if none of those worked out, I don’t think taking a top 5 RHD is a terrible idea. You can’t always get what you want. Passing on Wright might be considered a bad decision one day, but Nemec could end up being a really smart pick regardless considering our current center depth Edited July 8, 2022 by Devil Dan 56 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
