2016 NHL Draft

and there you go red.

 

Wisconsin for Frederic. now i can like him.

 

These are my 1st rounders that didn't go, in no specific order. Of course I drafted 5 of them in the mock but it makes sense if you draft with your board.

Asplund
Mascherin
Laberge
Grundstrom
Abramov
Katchouk

 

katchouk and asplund are my fave's, don't tell skinny though cuz he is huge on mascherin.

 

I like Mascherin a lot as well. Note he is on my list and I drafted him at #29 before skinny could lol. I don't know if he likes him as much as he likes his dad though.

 

Nah, the monster mash is a bonafide 2nd rounder.

 

wasn't really disappointed getting juolevi. tank again this year and get a center.

 

I personally had him at #24 but knew he'd probably not go until the 2nd.

 

These are my 1st rounders that didn't go, in no specific order.
Asplund
Laberge
Dineen, (but you knew I like this one)
Morrison
Bitten
Clague
Hajek
Dahlen

 

The guys I listed above were all in my #21-30 tier 5. If you want I can tell you who my #31-42 are. I deleted that list but I can remember it at a quick glance.

 

and now the instant grades, a,a,a,a,f,c,d,c,a,b,c,d,b,a,b,c,a,f,a, lol

 

1 name. Frederic

 

Benning > Sweeney

 

which ranks him 29th in the league

 

Me and his dad did not like each other when we were kids, we always fought, northern and southern italians hated each other.

 

lol. Where are you from? My family is all from Sicily although my mom was born near Milan when they moved up north for just a year.

 

Calabrese

 

Mascherins are from friuli.

 

In no order these were who I had ranked #31-42:
Cameron Morrison
Lucas Johansen
Dennis Cholowski
Kale Clague
Cliff Pu
Markus Niemel?inen
Taylor Raddysh
Nathan Bastian
Samuel Girard
Tyler Benson
Sam Steel
Will Bitten

And #43-#55 in no particular order (actually it's mock draft order):
Filip Gustavsson
Riley Tufte
Cam Dineen
Luke Green
Libor Hajek
Mitch Mattson
Alex DeBrincat
Carter Hart
Evan Fitzpatrick
Jordan Kyrou
Ryan Lindgren
Adam Fox
Trent Frederic

 

Shaw is preparing his flight to Montreal now.


I'm really really happy about that trade. I thought he might fetch a really late first+ if traded.
Leaked today that they were looking at 4.5 per. My people (Hawks fans that don't let go in the summer) were organizing a trip to Buf to lobby Stan to move him asap rather than risk that kind of cap hit over many years.

Happy ending to that story. 5th rounder helps wins two cups while getting paid little and then leaves with 2 good draft picks in his wake...if all stories could end like this.
