Yeah i've seen him maybe 4-5 times last season. He got pretty slick hands and a great finisher. Obviously small as rabbit sh&t - but great gamble at 181. I totally forgot about him to be honest. I suppose he could be a decent 3rd liner if he has a Gadjovich or McEwen to guard him.

Aberg type then...bounce in and use quick hands and shiftiness to score.

I think it should be an A because he took my first three picks then got a great goalie. That's a win for a draft in any teams books. His late round picks are real huge question marks but if you can get 2 solid NHLer's from each draft you did awesome.
- manvanfan


Yeah, I don't blame people for giving him an A. My feelings are still hurt from Glass and also while I didn't mind his picks in rounds 2/3/4, I had other guys ranked ahead of Lind/Gadj so I can't give him an "A"

It was a pretty solid meltdown though
- CanuckDon

The guy who hates Euros? He probably liked the next few picks though so he's probably calmer now.

Can't believe I'm saying this... Totally unexpected A+ for Benning & whichever scouts he didn't tell to GTFO. Only pick I didn't like was Gunnarsson. A Kristoffer I could absolutely refuse. But otherwise, I love this draft.
- DrChristianTroy

I'm generally surprised at the entire draft. A couple guys not picked at all. Guys I would of such rather had then Kristoffer.

Yeah, that pick was trash but oh well. Baby steps.

Still a lot better than the days of Mallet/Grenier

Weisbrod hopefully. No idea how he even managed to get himself into a NHL front office. I both respect him and dislike him.


Delorme has gotta go. A lot of our CHL scouting needs to be overhauled.

I enjoy junior hockey because that's what I have close to me. I like finding potential. It's all poop luck.

.... Gunny (like army sergeant) new nickname, is a mystery cause there is little to nothing known about him. At that pick its fine maybe an Edler type steal. That's if they have some inside knowledge from the Swdish network. We shall know later so having faith in that for now.

Sadly I didn't do any better then last season. Only got 3 right. Baby steps is right. I saw someone mentioned that the CHL scouting staff needs to be overhauled and I whole heartedly agree. Seems as if JB doesn't have a lot of personnel he trusts. Good sign is that he can get a few more guys he trusts in there and our drafts should continue to get better.

Gunnarsson is a defenseman who plays a safe, defensive-minded game. Owns decent mobility and skating ability. Likes to hit and punish opponents physically. Doesn't contribute much offensively.

Like the sounds of that.

Every draft eventually comes down to a roll of the dice. Not every pick will pan out, and you won't know what you ultimately have for a few years. I may not agree with every pick this year, but I see the logic in all of them. All we can do now is wait and hope for the best.

It was a good start but it needed to be at least a page or 2 of material before it can be classified as an authentic meltdown.

Should have needled the troglodyte but felt sorry for him and was enjoying the draft too much

Past/Future I finally see what JBs vision is

Pettersson/Dahlen = Sedins
Horvat = Kesler
Juolevi = Edler
Boeser = Samuelsson/Burrows
Virtanen = Torres
Gudbranson = Bieksa
Demko = Luongo
Goldobin = Raymond

Still looking for our Salo/Ehrhoff
