Fargocase Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Day 2 getting ready to start soon. Since the original Draft 2019 thread degenerated into old dead horse comments, let's start a new fresh thread. Looking at who's left - I think there's a very good chance the Wild can grab a scoring forward, which is what I'd prefer. I look at lists and there's numerous kids left with good scoring potential. There's some issue(s), since they didn't go in the first round, but my preference would be take the chance on a boom or bust scoring forward, not a big kid who projects to be a grinder or a 2nd/3rd pairing defenseman.

Fargocase Posted June 22, 2019 Author Share Posted June 22, 2019 (edited) And the day starts with insanity - Carolina gives the Laff$ a 1st round Pick for washed up old Marleau! Subban trade really interesting! CORRECTION - Laff$ give Caro a 1st to take the old guy and the huge crap contract. I wouldn't have minded seeing MN do that. In effect, trading Buy Out $ for a 1st Round Pick. MN is in a total rebuild so why not? Edited June 22, 2019 by Fargocase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fargocase Posted June 22, 2019 Author Share Posted June 22, 2019 (edited) Don't know what to think about Firstov. Got what I wanted I think - a boom or bust forward, sounds like a goal scorer. Might as well stock pile Russkies since the future is apparently riding on Kaprisov. Reading a little - I'm happy about this kid. Never been a big fan of Russians but I really like that the kid came over and played in the USHL. Edited June 22, 2019 by Fargocase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomdog Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Sounds promising. Not a pipsqeeck not a hulk. Wait and see? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fargocase Posted June 22, 2019 Author Share Posted June 22, 2019 (edited) Adam Beckman. I like this Pick. He might turn out pretty good. One of those kids who isn't even on the radar, then grows a bunch and gets into the WHL and excels as a rookie. https://spokanechiefs.com/article/nhl-draft-preview-adam-beckman Everyone from here on out is a longshot. I think the Wild did pretty good but we'll see, of course. The Draft is a crap shoot... https://thestarphoenix.com/sports/hockey/saskatoons-adam-beckman-grows-into-bonafide-nhl-prospect Edited June 22, 2019 by Fargocase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fargocase Posted June 22, 2019 Author Share Posted June 22, 2019 And the Wild draft another Russina kid that jumped to the CHL. In this case OHL powerhouse London. Sounds like a grinder, at best Another Russian for a Kaprisov posse. https://lastwordonhockey.com/2019/06/11/matvei-guskov-scouting-report/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fargocase Posted June 22, 2019 Author Share Posted June 22, 2019 D Marshall Warren. And a project under-sized offensive defensemen on his way to college https://lastwordonhockey.com/2019/05/14/marshall-warren-scouting-report/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least they weren't dashed after the first pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
