2019 Draft Discussion

[kyuss]

so #86 is now on the clock, but I'm not sure I can make the pick before Billy confirms the deal http://bbkl.ca/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=15579

Obviously he did via PM ("Ya you can post that if he doesn’t take your guy")

[kyuss]

uploaded proof that could allow to get the draft going (no idea when Billy will show up again)

[Shoalzie]

That's fine. Go ahead and pick to keep things moving along since we just came off a 12-hour wait.

[kyuss]

done, and PMed Tony that is now up

(billy confirmed the deal just seconds later btw)

[Shoalzie]

I've got Cliff's pick...

[Shoalzie]

I've got run errands for a couple hours...be aware of who is up. I haven't updated the order with the last few trades.

[kyuss]

6 picks made in about 100 minutes, nice flurry to get back on track

[foofnik]

You're gonna be waiting on me a little with my next pick at 94. Don't have my list ready and baby shower in 15 mins so Bear with me when I'm up.

[Shoalzie]

Remember, the 8-hour clock starts in the 4th round.

[kyuss]

who's up? Tony?

[Shoalzie]

Yes. Updating the order right now.

[Da_Hawks]

And that's it for the Hawks this year. Two top D prospects and a real good goalie. Very happy.

[kimmer]

both byram and harley are safe picks. albet not crazy upside, but you basically got two good quality NHLers in those picks

[Bruyns]

Byram's got star upside.

Byram certainly has star upside or else he would not be talked about as a top 5 pick. Harley's been talked about as being a Chabot type prospect. Both carry huge upside.

There is nothing safe about Harley. He's as boom/bust as you will see in this class. Upside of somebody like Chabot and the floor of a beer league rec player.

[kimmer]

I suppose our definitions of "upside" may vary...

Pretty much what I read.

[Bruyns]

Nice pick Mik, was hoping he dropped to 108.

[Shoalzie]

I have to imagine we'll be around halfway done after today...we should be on the money in terms of pace for this draft.

I don't think we'll have any wild surprises in the first round of the NHL draft so if we had some drafting still to do into the 21st, the real target date to be done is for Saturday the 22nd when they do the balance of the picks.

Reminder, it's an 8-hour pick clock from here on. Good job so far, everyone.
