2016 Draft Discussion

[dave1959]

Yeah, I had Barron highlighted too

the hockey news has him 74th

[Matthew]

Barron was my next pick.

[lightupdadarkness]

Yeah had him rated pretty high and still only 17 some of the other guys coming off made it an easy choice

[Chuck Norris]

Love the Barron pick. Definitely was a target for 188

He would have been taken at 187

[Lee]

Yeah, I think with some of my picks last year, I focused too much on specific guys. Doing lots of research on available players and not just going to go with BPPA ( best player perceived available) I have about 15 guys now I'd be comfortable taking with my next pick.

[Arian The Insider]

can you guys pick already?

[Lee]

Yeah we were way ahead of the pace at one point, around 140ish. At that point, we were only 78 picks in the year before. ATM, we are 2 days ahead of last years pace.

There's a lot to be said about BPA... I just don't think either the current NA nor EU BPA, according is ISS, is very good.

[thom54]

And each resource definitely had favourite types of players... It's such a fun time of year putting strategy into effect that we really won't see the NHL impact of in.... 5 years maybe? Potentially buying low on big gains

[Lee]

Yeah, I think we will get a bunch of these guys taken in our later rounds taken way earlier and we will see some reaches in our draft as well.

None of mine, of course.

[dave1959]

can you guys pick already?

none of "us guys" are on the clock....it's Casper

[thom54]

Aka fucking Polunin...

[Matthew]

Shutup, thom. Polunin isn't going to get drafted.

[thom54]

That's what I'm afraid of hahaha... Awww

[Matthew]

Who cares if he is drafted. You aren't banking on what teams think of him now. You're banking on what they think of him as a 22 year old.

[thom54]

Truesay

[Shoalzie]

Casper is on the clock until 6:50...

[Matthew]

Lmao, Cliff. Why not just pick a guy from any prospect list just to give you a boom or bust prospect? Pass...wtf!

[Lee]

Yeah, I offered him Peluso for the pick. If that's approved, offer is still valid
