gdt: 2018 NHL Entry Draft – Movin' On Up into the Top-Five – Live Discussion

[H-Dreamer]

Yeah tell me about it. Oh well. Hope the kid turns out to be a stud.

 

I don't know any of these kids, so unlike most here I can sit here without any real problem with this pick. I am just amused how we ALWAYS create this moment at the Draft, where everyone goes "What? Why at this spot?"

[Dunny]

What makes him better than the Russian though?

Exactly. It's simply a name recognition thing.

 

I know one guy that dominated in the KHL playoffs after getting a chance. It wasn't Wahlstrom. He was in a Tier2 junior league.

Time to hate on Lamoriello

[Myusername]

Hopefully this guy is our Kucherov who was passed over way, way more times than this guy was

[Stephen]

Damn It

[Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc]

Islanders will be good

Also a product of Hughes the way that grachev was of Douchene

[Stephen]

You can compare Wahlstrom to Billy Guerin, uncle Lou got it right this time

[lefty9]

Shut the fuc k up McKenzie

[Myusername]

If it makes you guys feel any better I don't think Kravstsov was nearly as much of a reach as Andersson lol

 

I think he came on the scene late and didn't have enough time to garner the hype some of these other players did

[Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc]

Imagine him dominating the league for years for the Islanders.

[Respecttheblue]

Wahlstrom is a goal scorer....

 

I thought we?d pick W if he was available, so in that level I am very surprised, as he looks more ready.

I don't think this pick has absolutely anything to do with pleasing Buchnevich... let's not go crazy

 

It was a joke

Thats true. Its not a bad pick, I just dont know why they didnt trade down. Atleast to one of the Islanders' pick.

[Stephen]

Pierre is an ultimate Weirdo, Lmao

[siddious]

islanders taking walhstrom hurts a little lol

[Giacomin]

Barzal, Walle and Dobson, wow

[Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc]

Islanders ending up with Wahlstrom and Dobson. Didnt see that coming. And I hate it.

[Stephen]

Wahlstrom and Dobson for Islanders? Dont like that

 

You were absolutely Correct, thus Uncle Lou made two good draft picks

[Myusername]

God I really hate the fucking Isles right now

[lefty9]

Hate it

[Myusername]

I think it was a bit of a no brainer....

[The Dude]

This board hated Chytil too have a good night.

PS:

I like the pic

 

No it didn't. It wasn't crazy about Andersson. Another off the board pick, leaving a much more promising player on the board.
