Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 http://www.thehockeynews.com/articles/1667...Mock-Draft.htmlAnother Mock for you 20. Rangers select Jared Staal, RW (Sudbury) Brother Marc worked out pretty well for the Blueshirts, so why not go back to the well for the youngest Staal, tabbed as the bruiser of the family. 21. New Jersey selects Jacob Markstrom, G (Brynas) The Devils need a goaltender of the future and Markstrom has been the name most associated with New Jersey. Look for him to stay in Europe for a couple years until Brodeur stops playing 75 games a season. 26. Buffalo selects John Carlson, D (Indiana) The recently inked London Knight is already NHL-sized, plus he boasts power play quarterback skills. The Sabres won Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devils731 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Jared makes perfect sense as a Ranger since the big worry is he won't work enough to make enough use of his talents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insanity_gallops Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 For perspective, RedLine report killed the goalies in the draft this year, essentially calling them all mediocre. If that's at all accurate, taking a goalie in the 1st would be a real stretch for the Devils. http://www.usatoday.com/sports/hockey/colu...e-goalies_N.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insanity_gallops Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Don't know if this was posted earlier, but HF posted a mock draft. http://www.hockeysfuture.com/articles/1042...mock_draft2008/ 21. New Jersey Jordan Eberle, Regina WHL, C The Devils have had success in the past taking players of smaller stature who have a nose for the net, and Eberle could be another one of those picks. His 42 goals in 70 games shows a nose for the net and his offensive gifts would be a welcome addition to the Devils Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefiestygoat Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 The Hockey News really is a joke. I'm no expert but even I thought some of their selections in their mock was ridiculous. No way Staal goes that early, no way in hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always seems a lot of good goalies tend to be selected later on. If that report is accurate, then I really hope the Devils don't draft a goalie early.

devilsrule33 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I'm heading to the draft tomorrow. Not too sure how exciting it will be, but I'll be there nevertheless. Anyone ever been to an NHL draft before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been ok , just look at the team needs for the team you would represent (hockeys future), look at which players might fit the bill (TSN top 60), pick a player for their team. Dont think there is enough time now before the draft to get one organised, might have to put one together for the next draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satans Hockey Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I'm heading to the draft tomorrow. Not too sure how exciting it will be, but I'll be there nevertheless. Anyone ever been to an NHL draft before? I went to the one in Carolina a few years ago. It's ok. You can't get some autographs and what not if you like that kinda stuff. I wouldn't ever go to another one unless it was at the Devils, Rangers, Isles or Flyers arenas. Anyone know if this is being show for free anywhere on the net. I dunno about the first round but nhl.com will be airing the pre and post draft show today as well as all the other rounds tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDPucks Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I'm heading to the draft tomorrow. Not too sure how exciting it will be, but I'll be there nevertheless. Anyone ever been to an NHL draft before? A little late but I was at the draft back in 1994 in Hartford. It was okay to watch but what made it better was I happened to sit in front of a couple of draft-niks who kept the evening entertaining.
