Fabbri to the Blues is Fucking Fantastic.

Fabbri to the Blues is Fucking Fantastic.

Almost as good as Bleackley to the Avs

[kyuss]

pleased to see Scherbak end up with the Habs, wouldn't mind seeing Barbashev on Tavares wing as well, but I doubt Snow will make me happy.

MacInnis maybe?

[kyuss]

lol trade up to get a guy I think would have been available with their next one anyway

[thom54]

YES. Goldobin to SJ. PER-FUCKING-FECT.

Fabbri to the Blues is Fucking Fantastic.

Best pick outside of the top 10.

[kyuss]

LOL at Barbashev still on the board after the 1st day.

Quenneville before him was only the last headscratcher

[The BBKL Insider]

Not a quinville fan. Odd pick. But suits nj well. They are awful drafters

[Bruyns]

Glad I traded into the Draft. Took the player with the biggest improvement so far from bbkl to nhl with Deangelo going 19th and getting taken 28 picks later at 47 in bbkl. Tampa seems like a great team for him to go to too.

Thought the first round was pretty predictable only player that seemed like a reach was the 30th pick.

Only 3 bbkl first rounders didn't go in the first round in Barbashev, Demko and McKeown.

YES. Goldobin to SJ. PER-FUCKING-FECT.

Good. I like saying Goldobin...

All it takes is one GM to like a player.

I don't see it as odd at all. NHL Combined rankings had him listed at 29 and most others had him just on the other side of 30th. I figured one of Quenneville and Lemieux would move into the 1st Round.

[kyuss]

I would have expected Lemieux, but not Quenneville. Didn't realize he had such high rankings.. and I failed to see why.

What's the NHL combined rankings btw?

[The BBKL Insider]

I agree with mik.

I would have taken lemieux there.

[The BBKL Insider]

Mason McDonald to flames
Hunter Smith to flames

i coudln't be happier! i love flame kids.

I got Masin with a 33 spot difference. Also with Tampa.

[The BBKL Insider]

i hate the leafs.

Brycen Martin and Jake Glover on the board, both ranked in the 30's, but the leafs take RINAT VALIEV. they essentially could have made up for not drafting in the 2nd, but again, fuck it up.

[Nick]

Here is the biggest difference in selected players BBKL to nhl for sure:

Re: [2014] Entry Draft Selection Thread [192nd Pick: CGY OTC
With the 192nd Overall pick the Calgary Flames select Nikita Tryamkin from Yekaterinburg of the KHL.

Vs

@SWhyno: The #Canucks took a 6-foot-6 defenceman, Russian Nikita Tryamkin, with the 66th pick.

[Nick]

Well... There is our new big slow Dman, at least he is not the worst.

[Nick]

Wait... What
