2012 Draft Thread

We must draft Jesse Graham in the 2nd Round.

Darius Dangleaitis · 04-14-2012, 04:07 PM

I personally would love to see us pick Matteau and have him subsequently embarrass the Rangers on countless occasions.

Feed Me A Stray Cat · 04-14-2012, 04:18 PM

I absolutely want Tomas Hertl.

I want to know why.

My Czech friends were indifferent about him.

DEVILS ALL THE WAY · 04-14-2012, 05:34 PM

We'll be picking in the early to mid 20's and there's going to be a solid d-men that will drop for whatever reason, so we better pick whoever drops to us. Someone like Koekkoek or Pouliot would be ****ing fantastic and if there's no one that drops when it'll be our time to pick, I'd take a shot at either Subban or Vasilevski.

I found this guy who barely exists. We can't let Detroit get him. I think we have a 7th Rounder from some deal with the Isles. His name is Stepan Rogachev. Future Volchenkov.

Edit: Apparently he was born in 1995 so we have to wait until 2014.

Devils Trap · 04-14-2012, 07:05 PM

I want Koekkoek

Interesting. I know some people (via my friend) in the CSKA organization. I`ll ask them for more info.

Thanks. I can't believe this kid is only 16. He looks about 6'3.

Darius Dangleaitis · 04-14-2012, 07:46 PM

If he's only 16, he wouldn't be available until 2013 at the earliest.

Nova III · 04-14-2012, 09:21 PM

I want a Russian defenseman on this team. Hell I want this team to be Team Russia like Detroit is Team Sweden. Any guys in the later rounds? I think Vasilevski is out of reach but there is also Makarov. Give me some names to fax Lou.

Scottyk9 · 04-14-2012, 09:28 PM

Think Olli Matta slips to the mid 20's ?

The conditions weren't met in that Isles/Ben Walter trade so we didn't get their pick.

I don't think we need to worry about Detroit. They have pretty much nothing to do with us.

I really want us to take Joki Ryan from Cornell late, just as I said last year.

Daniil Zharkov is probably the only Russian worth taking late in the 1st.

Well before the playoffs he probably would have but he is averaging more than a PPG in the playoffs so who knows too early to tell at this point. And his team just advanced as well so his draft stock might be going up.

I know his brother and that's all I can contribute.

We have Volch already, but I agree, I want a few more Russians in the system.

As do I. We'll see.

I'm totally down with this.

We are already going to be the next Team Sweden. Our Swedish scout's opinion is highly respected.

Not a chance.
