2017 NHL Entry Draft thread

If we did offer a 1st, of course NYI would prefer Calgary's 1st.

We were probably just being used to drive up the price on Burke.

I'll never forget him telling me he could've lottery protected the Kessel picks and just didn't feel the need.

draft year production

Rasanen (17): 8gls/49pts pace
Nielsen (18): 10gls/33pts
Mattinen (17): 8gls/21pts
Middletoj (17): 1gls/9pts

and desrochers was a full 19yrs old in his draft season and not due to a late birthday, and put up a 55pt pace.

I think back as well, but IF that did happen we would have picked Seguin and we'd be mediocre, probably made the playoffs a few times and never a shot at Matthews or Marner
 
Mike Smith may indeed suck but Calgary has assembled a pretty impressive blue line.
 
Boy, do I ever miss the days of management coughing up first and second round picks.

If this Rasanen guy ever reaches potential, watch out. Definitely a high reward pick but could have decent downside too.

The Leafs took Ian Scott at #110 and we had him ranked at #107. Big kid that has shown flashes & has great fundamentals. Long term project!

Obviously hitting rock bottom thanks to him helped us in the end, but I doubt that was Burkie's grand vision.

Seriously. The idea that next year's draft will see us with no picks till the third round really kills my interest in prospects for the entire season. And for Hamonic? Yuck.

Thankfully that's Calgary fans' problem, and not ours.
