Getting Dickinson at 11 was such an insane steal for us. Grier looks like a genius for trading up to 11 the day before.

I was so upset we passed on Buium. Then I did a bit more research 100% take it back my family are Oiler fans this dude is like Bouchard in his draft year, they questioned Bouchard's defense and skating and obviously you know Dickinsons skating is better then Bouchards, and Dickinsons defensive game is more sound in his draft year.

His skating is very good, his defense is very good, his passing is very good, his shot is good but could prove to be better with Bonk leaving the OHL. He was the 4th best player on my board

[@gabbeat]

he was ranked 13-14 , surely they didnt know he would dropped to 20

[@Stormie33]

Kent Hughes said in his presser that they traded up specifically to try and get Hage. That doesn't necessarily mean Eiserman wouldn't have been higher on their board and maybe they just didn't think he'd even be a possibility at 21, but either way, they got the guy they wanted when they moved up. He also said Demidov would've been their pick even if they had the #2 overall, so it really couldn't have worked out any better for them.

[@Chabot1801]

Alexandre Daigle was a demigod in the juniors as well.. Dont mean much in NHL tho

[@Chabot1801]

Ive heard that Eiserman gave the team a bad feeling about being about to play with MTL because of the fan pressure there is on the players of the Habs. I personnaly dont think they would have skipped him, or at least pick him for the value. I would add that I dont think MTL need a finisher on the offensive, they already are Caufield for that and thats enough

[@joeb1955]

He was also rated one of the most NHL-ready players after Celibrini since Demidov still has 1 year on his KHL contract. With Chicago's situation likely being bottom 10 in the standings again next year, he's also likely to play unless he commits to Michigan before the season starts.

As a Chicago fan it seemed like we drafted what we were supposed to and expected to, and then were scolded for doing so. IDK, I really don't watch non nhl hockey and don't even look at prospects until the day of the draft. The only sport I ever look at prospects is american football. Because of that, every other draft I just accept that the scouts must have seen something, and if it works it works.

[@Stormie33]

Don't worry about the optics, taking Levshunov was never going to be as sexy as picking Demidov to form a dynamic duo with Bedard, but it's a good pick, he looks like he'll be a monster on the back end and just as important to winning games as Demidov, if not more so.

[@slipperynodd578]

The problem wasn’t the people they picked, their 2nd and 3rd 1sts were slight reaches but still justifiable. The price they paid however is not, they gave up 20, 34, 54 and 61 for 18 and 27. That is a huge overpay to move up 2 and 7 spots late in the 1st round considering both of those guys could have been got with their own original picks without giving up 2 seconds. If they just picked Eiserman with 18 then it would have been 100% justified but they didn’t.

[@randdomize858]

I think that timer is to submit the pick. You submit who you are taking before you get on stage and announce it.

[@andrewptob]

I think Flyers did okay with Luchanko. They obviously tried to trade up for Demidov but couldn’t get it done, and then almost had Dickinson fall to them, so then they settled for a fast two-way center with upside. Buium and Eiserman were the splashy options but I’ll give Briere the benefit of the doubt

[@Stormie33]

As a Habs fan, I was worried about Columbus trading #4 to a team that wanted Demidov. Luckily their guy (Lindstrom) was still on the board, otherwise it seems like they would have traded down, which might have prompted Montreal to then trade down too, as they were getting offers for #5 but really wanted Demidov.

[@severed111]

A few great players from the completely ignored other CHL league, QMJHL, I'm surprised at least 2 were not picked first round, especially Gill (one of the best, if not the best d-man in that league). Not surprised though, unless they are generational talents, the QMJHL (which isn't just Quebec, all maritimes and Newfounland have or have had, not sure St-John's has a team right now, they switch between QMJHL and AHL teams here and there up by the sea. Also, surprised Antonin Verreault, who's the best player in that, points wise, is still ignored, and he's 20, so he's pretty much done unless he continues in some AHL team that wants him or in Europe and then signs in the NHL as a free agent, because he's proven to be first round material, even more so in a 32 team roster, but little QMJHL which has produces some of the best players of all time is always a little ignored, it's getting sad now with zero 1st rounders this year.

[@ronreinhold8997]

Canadian teams seem to be MIA. Canucks and Jets didn't participate. Leafs and Oilers last two picks.

[@BloodRider1914]

They're all contenders (or trying to be), so they did a little bit of trading for existing players.

[@Murph_.]

It's not only what the different teams scouts SEE... but also what they are LOOKING FOR. Different teams look for different qualities in players, so obviously they will rate them differently. As a Flyers fan, I like Luchanko and there were rumors several teams were upset that Philly picked him at 13, because they wanted him as well. He's 17, and has a long way to go. I was hoping, when Eiserman was still around at 18 that Philly would trade up to get him. Flyers need a natural goal scorer BADLY. Yes, his defense is very poor and you wonder how well he would mesh with Torts... but his upside is there, and he's exactly what the Flyers need. BTW, great job going over the 1st round, Shannon.

[@Brendajanephillips514]

This Sennecke pick reminds me a LOT of KK. 3rd overall team passes on plenty of other players that were better for a fit;

Not sure why silayev was ranked so high. almost no upside and poor skater

Sennecke is actually pronounced Sen-ick-a. Learned that one today. Hope he proves all the doubters wrong.

Ducks go upside at #3. True winger for Carlson/Mctavish in 2 years

[@devinkuhn2861]

was surprised at first but a quick look of his highlight videos made me understand their thinking. Crazy high potential

@@teejay33955 Don't know that for sure as you can see yakemchuk moved way up maybe Ottawa picks Sennecke there if available and Ducks miss out on their guy.

[@tobiasb2474]

​@teejay33955 other teams were interested in him, we wouldn't have gotten him if we did that

[@tobiasb2474]

Solberg was a good pick too

Cole Eiserman at 20 getting drafted by the Islanders my favorite pick of the draft in the 1st round got to support my American players 🇺🇸🏒🥅⛸🧊🔵🟠🗽🏝

[@Stormie33]

Nice gift for the Isles, they really needed someone like that to fall in their lap. If anyone can whip his defensive game into shape, it's Patrick Roy.

[@yannickbernier5959]

What is Ottawa doing? Not the BPA and not a player they needed...

[@RomanPer]

Pronounciation of several names should be adjusted. Silayev is pronounced with “A”, not with “E”. Zeev should be pronounced “Ze’ev” (double “e”). He’s Israeli and his name in Hebrew means “wolf”.

[@TheHockeyGuy]

Yep, over time I get the names correct. It happens.

Where are my fellow fans of teams with no first round picks at?

[@michaelfortunato3117]
