[@Justin-yn5py]

Yea I really just didn’t want them to pick Perfetti, his skating scared me and in a league where skating is becoming even more important it isn’t something to risk. Raymond and Rossi on the other hand are great skaters

[@JimboBurrito]

Wings Fan here. I thought it was a little sneaky surprise when Drapes said "from Frölunda" and I was floured. This will turn out to be a great player for this organization!!

[@BrownKnee666]

Sanderson going top be a top 2 shutdown defensemen. Not fun to play against DD. Rossi fell because of size and others were picked because of goal scoring capabilities or defense.... having raymond go #4 changed the dynamic of the draft... was more surprised that Quinn went top 10 and I think the raymond pick is really a reach... Detroit needs D or a C so that was strange... thought drysdale would land their.... also keep in mind that a playmaking center for the past couple of years (unless your mcdavid) kind of are "busts" and dont live up to the hype in the big leagues because your playing against professionals, men, and your life essientlay is on the line... junior hockey is like fun... the nhl is a diffrent animal. I wanted to see the Devils trade down and grab the goalie but I was more surprised that nashville took askarov with saros not showing signs of controlling the #1 spot it makes sense but that's like building your future around your goalie (their going to be on the downfall in a year or 2) so I would of picked up a defensemen or just traded the pick. Nashivile is in a weird spot with cap problems and goalie problems. I think their in alot of trouble next year.... this is what happens when u trade that heart and soul to your team for overrated offensive defensemen (subban Weber)..... I wouldnt say perfetti fell but I didn't like Winnipeg not picking lundell. He will be jordan stall type of player and I dont think the jets need more scoring they need to find the role player. Their also in a weird spot but they have really good goalietending and front office... they do need to address defense and depth over the years they couldnt afford all their great defensemen which is understandable but that's why at drafts u fill in the spots for 3-5 years down the road. I really didnt like the jets pick and I think adding role players are key...

[@davidfreeman2316]

That will be perfect for Detroit’s rebuild. Even though he seems NHL ready, he’s going to improve with another season in the SHL getting top line minutes. By the time he comes to Detroit he’s going to be unstoppable. Hopefully we can catch a break in next years defense rich draft.

[@swedreamhack5308]

I don't see any reason in Raymonds development to make him come earlier than 22/23. 9 games in 21/22, sure. But makes no sense to think anyone benefits from putting expectations on him to play a role in NHL that he's hopefullt having this season in SHL with Frolunda.

Franck Bernard the offer has to be there too, it’s not like you can just move it if you feel like it. At that point, if you are that confident about a guy, you may as well guarantee you get him. According to some source( it’s secondhand can’t confirm), JK viewed him as high as a top 10 player. If that’s true, (not saying it is), you would kick yourself possibly missing such a player for a fifth.

[@JohnDoe-eu1lc]

Ottawa nailed it in the first round. Side note: I liked how San Jose announced their pick of Ozzy.

[@goon8058]

Just to explain what Calgary was doing trading down. They likely had 2-3 players let's say Zary, Lapierre and Schneider all very closely ranked (essentailly tied) they talked with the Rangers maybe even asked who they would be taking with their pick and moved down three spots in the hopes that one of those players would be available and picking up a third rounder in the process. When picks 20 and 21 didn't include any of the players in Calgary's group they traded the 22nd pick to drop down to 24 and pick up another third rounder. Calgary likely ended up with the player they wanted or close enough at 19 but managed to pick up two third rounders in the process. Long winded explanation but hope people get the point.

[@josephlee8387]

it was a typical NFL move by a shrewd team like the Ravens; doesn't happen as much in other sports but great maneuver by the Flames. Very well explained, Goon.

Going to be fun to see where the top players are in 5 years. As a Swede I’m going say congrats to Detroit and the devils. You’ve got some seriously talented players! Also always cool to see a goalie get picked in the first round.

[@InsignificantNick]

Great stream, love that it wasn't all about hockey!

[@lt8344]

Not mad about Sanderson but feel like we could’ve at least traded down and still get him. Don’t believe we got the best player available at 5 but time will tell... “In Dorion We Trust”

[@noahhurst1228]

Sanderson is gonna be better than Drysdale. I hate the Sens but I respect the Sanderson pick

[@TheGrandMaster1942]

I think Sanderson is a better fit with chabot

[@JACarlington]

Trading down only works if somebody below you wants to trade up. And with all the players from 4-12 being pretty close talent-wise nobody was willing to give up a 2nd round pick to move up and get a specific player. Same thing happened to the Red Wings last year with the 6 pick. We could have gotten him later but nobody wanted to trade up.

[@drivethru6155]

Dorion was trying to trade down by sounds of how he said the 5th pick was potentially open to be moved

[@OttawaRocks]

Not the flashy pick, but perhaps it is the smart pick. Ultimately, if Ottawa wants to contend they will need a shutdown defenceman (and if the Dman has offensive upside that's a bonus). Sanderson has both and was gift wrapped in the draft for Ottawa to take. Maybe not in trades but when it comes to drafting and developing Dorion is the man. Time will tell.

[@tommargarites2811]

The commissioner must have been really quite happy about how this draft went, it was the first time he was never booed at the microphone.

[@CameronNimmo]

I love the new Sens jersey’s

[@mr.schloopka1124]

Minnesota has a bunch of prospects now. Potential team for 2021/22 season. Fiala - Rossi - Kaprizov Boldy - Eriksson Ek - Zuccarelo Beckman - Khovanov - Parise Suter - Spurgeon Brodin - Dumba Addison - Soucy Kahkonen And I did not forget about 4th line, you just cant predict it. And we would protect 8 players in expansion draft and loose either Greenway or Kunin

[@alexrowdyrodrigues9716]

I cannot believe the Leafs had a big, good skating, RHD in their lap and they picked an undersized Russian Winger. I was screaming with rage

[@duquet71]

I'm actually happy to see the Sens take Sanderson. Kind of like the looks of this: Chabot - Bernard-Docker Sanderson - Brannstrom Wolanin - Thomson No complaints from this Sens fan!

[@dylanwynkoop4578]

In Jarmo we trust ....... but I must say this makes me nervous, but Chinakhov’s elite prospects page seems promising Edit: so apparently per Aaron Portzline one of the NHL’s head scouts had Chinakov at 28, so still a bit of a reach by Jarmo, but not as bad as I originally thought

[@Ylekiot10]

Dylan Wynkoop As a cbj fan I’m just as confused and hopeful as everyone else

[@UserName-ts3sp]

i hope he gets it right. he does more often than not

[@colinvawter512]

Dylan Wynkoop China cough

[@dylanwynkoop4578]

Kyle Rhino lol same

[@dylanwynkoop4578]

User Name yeah, ever since he took PLD over Puljujarvi I’ve trusted him, apparently this kid was in Jarmo’s top 10, so that’s crazy.

[@therealmoonrok3387]

My Sens killed it tonight

[@julianwolstencroft5795]

Love the pick from NSH. Rinne gets 1-2 years as backup

[@steveosullivan5262]

I just watched a few of your old video's about this draft. I have to say you called the ball, first on Sanderson and then on Quinn. You had him at 10 and said Quinn had past Rossi on one of the major scouting services. For as much grief as Buffalo seems to be taking, Quinn caught the eye of the scouts that came to see Rossi.

[@Megafest7]

After finding out who Yegor Chinakhov is, I'm hyped. The kid absolutely demolished the Russian minors last year, is one of the best forwards on a sketchy Omsk team this year, and isn't afraid to skate through traffic against men. Add that to his wrist shot and hockey IQ both looking excellent, and I can see why Jarmo says CBJ had him as the tenth best player in the draft.

[@italian1ist]

As a Mn Wild fan, I can say that Rossi was the best possible pick available. I never thought he would fall to us but I’m so incredibly happy..

[@versuch8239]

As a German fan I would have loved to see Peterka in Dallas. Would have been good synergy with the Mavs and their tradition of german/european players.

[@versuch8239]

@the machinist Nah, I prefer actually having a German on my favorite team. And no he wasn't drafted, but the chance of the Stars getting him are pretty much non-existent.

[@volcanope]

Sens won the draft with that jeopardy selection alone

[@resterdebout57]

Well done on that Shakir guy name pronounciation, tatar names are indeed absolutely brutal. Yet what will probably be more important in the future - it's Askárov, with a stress on the second syllable.

[@UncleTravelingMatty]

Great input on the picks. Can't wait to see which of these players surprises us first. Your thoughts about Chicago is interesting. Ducks Ottawa, Wild did well. Top 2 obvious. Some great names for sure.

[@corbinbailey2480]

My dad said that I apparently played in a summer tournament with Perfetti. He was playing a year up during that time. He also told me Perfetti is also a really good lacrosse player (or at least was at the time I don't know if he still plays).

[@tmdwu5360]

Thanks for the stream last night 👌 good coverage as always, over 10k watching are mad good numbers

[@mikelockwood2770]

Shakir Mukhumadullin is a lock for NHL Name Hall Of Fame if he manages to make the league

[@Kman31ca]

That's a great name.

[@checubanil7385]

Happy to see Minnesota finally catching a break. Always get screwed and now get lucky with a #9!

[@vojevodinass]

Chinakhov was eligible for 2019 draft. Not selected. Now he suddenly is 1st rounder. He started the KHL season really well, scored 5 in last 5 games, good skating, great energy, nice shot. Bob Hartley is his coach now and he puts him to the 1st line (some injuries-related). But from nobody to the 1st round in a year (covid one)?! That is really not a compliment for the scouting NHL clubs do on MHL (the youth satellite for KHL).

[@steven6214]

Cole Perfetti is ready with spaghetti on his sweater already.... i'll show myself out.

[@halion50100]

dope

[@dustinalexander157]

Somebody has Twitter

[@patch8376]

He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready.

[@Jacob-dx3me]

Sanderson fits the Senator’s team much better than Drysdale would. I see a ton of Sens fans complaining about the pick (I am not one), we do not need any more offensive d-men. Sanderson will provide much needed steadiness on the blue line and let offensive players like Brannstrom develop more.

[@SteveWKk]

Ottawa is going to be scary good in the next few years........

[@hockeysnipes3656]

Sens fans trust the scouts, a lot of scouts and other draft sites had Sanderson at 5 some at 3. I wouldn't have taken him but we don't watch his games scouts do. They definitely know stuff we don't.

[@noahhurst1228]

I’ve seen a lot of highlights and plays from Sanderson. He is better than Drysdale

[@luvslogistics1725]

I think Zary, Guhle, Schneider, Neighbors and Lundell were good picks. Poirier is a good blue liner too. There’s a lot of talent in second round. Where will Diamond go? Kerins? Mysak? Tullio?

[@teigetsu1528]

Chinakov was the most surprising. Jarmo and Ville Siren were very pleased with their pick. Maybe they see a young Panarin. Top 7 were easy but Buffalo surprised me with Quinn too.

[@dylanwynkoop4578]

Man I trust Jarmo, but that pick was so out of nowhere that I’m slightly questioning it Edit: also apparently one of the NHL’s head scouts had the kid at 28, so not as big of a reach as originally thought.

[@teigetsu1528]

@@dylanwynkoop4578 Chinakkov grew 2-3 inches in a year. He went from super skilled small kid to a young man in a year with more room for growth, and no doubt the CBJ scouts have done their homework on his personality. CBJ had him in their top 10 in a deep draft year. They must think very highly of his talent level.

[@dylanwynkoop4578]

Teigetsu yeah, I’m more confident now that I’ve done more research
