2017 Draft Discussion

Michael DiPietro is fucking legit

He was great last night, but my goodness he's small.

Yes thats the main knock on him.. wud be a great grab in 2nd round
Any current nhl starter which are small?

[Handsome&FairMike]

He's 6ft apparently. Could still grow some. Only 17

[hong57]

Vegas is probably the only team easily taking the BPA approach.. they mentioned that they want someone that's:-

We want high-character, low-maintenance type players. It'll be a good learning curve for the entire staff going to the combine and representing our organization."

what does low-maintenance type players mean? like coachable?

[Fraser]

Good attitude and work ethic more or less

[Tony]

"No fucking Russians" is what it means.

Something fun to play with. Very inaccurate.

Signed up for the group draft @ 7 tonight, just for shits and giggles.

Ran the sim once and ended up with Cody Glass at 15, not very realistic.

I was thinking the same thing but they signed Shipachyov.

[Lee]

I got him at 21, Robert Thomas at 57 and Jake Ottenginer at 70+

[Matthew]

I thought glass was like a top 6 pick?

I keep hearing "the next schiefle"

[timwebb1212]

He is. It's not a very accurate sim.

[koomzzz]

funny, glass went 6 for mine

[koomzzz]

then i did it again (as yotes)...

7th: Eeli Tolvanen
23rd: Cody Glass
35th: David Rasmussen
69th: Marcus Davidsson

lol

[timwebb1212]

lol Rasmussen at 35 and Glass at 23

The (current) order is posted. I've got Steve's post for the 1st overall pick so I'll get this thing kicked off on Thursday.
