yave1964 Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 @ruxpin He does this every year with every draft. Cant we just assume Dahlin for him, it is a no brainer pick and as such is right up his alley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've almost done it a third time, but I didn't think people understood I was being smarmy. I would wait (and am guessing pilldoc understands why), but understand if going forward is the decision.

Kings Redeem LA Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Just got a call from Bettman. He told me that Buffalo will lose all its draft picks this year, as well as have the sabers portion of its logo replaced with salad tongs for five years, if Hockey Junkie doesn't draft before 11.59.59 EST tonight.

Its like when the Vikings got passed up in the NFL draft...the clock ticks down, the 2nd overall pick now is up and Buffalo can make their pick at any time but everyone else can draft...

bbgarnett Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 @CreaseAndAssist mine was in Oakdale so pretty close to me. Didn't see any NHL prospects though. Also everyone else I will be gone tomorrow for a family day probably from the afternoon to 6 or 7 but will check on my phone and see where we're at and make the pick from my phone if it gets to my turn and the player I/The New York Rangers want is still available. Granted I highly doubt the Rangers keep all three picks and could easily see them trade up to draft a Brady Thachuk. But since we don't do trades, probably better that we aren't anyways I will go with what's available. It's the Rangers so the only position they don't need is Goalie, everything else I'd say is up grabs and can't really see them make a bad choice with anyone at this point.

CreaseAndAssist Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 At this glacial pace...we won't have the first pick of the 2018 draft until 2019. I know I'm relatively new here, but this is ridiculous. If you have a mock draft...it should be within a few days at the most. Just my 2 cents.

yave1964 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 So are we waiting for Junkie for the 2019 draft right now? This is reminding me of my mother in law, I go to her house in June and Christmas stuff is still out, not sure if she is six months late or six months early...….

hf101 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 We'll will wait no longer... With the first pick of the Draft the Buffalo Sabres are proud to select from the SHL - Rasmus Dahlin. There is no doubt that Dahlin is the best two-way defenseman in this draft. Dahlin has been described as "Lightning in a Bottle" due to his high-end skating, and dynamic stick handling, and the reckless abandon he approaches the game. Dahlin is also won't shy away from the physical game either as he is an accomplished open-ice hitter. His 20 points in U18 play is the best offensive performance by a defenseman in Elitserien history and is the second-best U18 performance of all time. What more can the Sabres ask for... as Dahlin will be the #1 - d-man on the Sabres for many years and has been compared to the likes of a combination of Drew Doughty and Erik Karlsson. Dahlin is the consensus No. 1 overall pick at the 2018 NHL Entry Draft, is driven to win and flat-out hates losing. “He has that edge, he wants to win at everything he participates in,” said his current coach, Roger Rönnberg. “He controls the rhythm of the game. He’s so skilled with the puck, and he can be the difference maker in the game. Welcome to Buffalo! @AJgoal you are now on the clock for the 2nd pick for Carolina.

AJgoal Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 With the second pick in the 2018 NHL draft, the Carolina Hurricanes select, from the Barrie Colts of the OHL, Andrei Svechnikov. This pick is about as no-brainer of a selection as possible as far as best player available, and while Carolina has one of the deepest defensive prospect pools in the league, they need help up front. Svechnikov is a top-notch scorer with the potential to be a star in the NHL. At 6'3, 184 pounds, he has the frame to develop into a very good combination of size and finesse. He has a plus shot, plus speed, and excellent, if underrated vision. He is a threat both with and without the puck, finding the open areas to create opportunities for himself. The Montreal Canadiens and @habsguy26 are now on the clock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this is actually the pick I'm really waiting to see, because I'm expecting Waddell to bungle it and go Zadina because of chemistry with Necas (a horrible reason to draft someone, by the way). The only way I justify (well, not quite justify) a Zadina pick is if they really are planning to move Skinner. Good pick, sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Wadell already basically announced Svechnikov as the pick, so unless it's some smokescreen to try to get Montreal to trade up and still get the guy they really want, I don't think he goes another direction.
