[GDT] The 2014 NHL Entry Draft - Rounds 2-7 Sat 8:00AM MT - NHL Network, Fan960, TSN Radio

[Party Elephant]

Just wanted to say thanks for all the updates in this thread. I was following along all day at work, sneaking to the back every 5 minutes or so to check my phone during the first 4 picks!

[YogiBerra]

Lemieux please if they all turn out we could have Poirer, Lemeiux and Bennet all on different lines. That would be the perfect grit and speed to get in on the forecheck.

Panthers wanted Simmonds, B.Schenn, another player (believed to be Coburn) and take Leacavalier from the Flyers for 1st OA.

Flyers were unwilling to give up Simmonds.

Flyers were unwilling to give up Simmonds.

Hence the hesitation to go up to the mic and the 2 minute staredown at the phone.

Hextall isn't a fool.

Nah. Take the BPA.

Why make the assumption that the defencemen at the time isn't the BPA. defencemen are players too

I think this was really cool: Ekblad Mic'd for the Draft

[sureLoss]

TSN couldn't find a better picture of Ekblad

*re-post from poll thread:

McKeown is the guy for me if he's still available. Has top 4 potential which we still desperately need in the organization.

If he's gone I'd be fine with Barbashev but I don't think he'd be in the team's long term plans (JMO) so it'd be more about taking the best player available.

Thatcher Demko could be a good selection failing any decent defenseman prospects being available. With Berra's departure there really only is Gillies and Ortio that have NHL potential as a goaltender. We could use some more depth at goalie.

Marcus Petterson is the guy for me after that on defense. He's huge and has a lot of upside. Needs to fill out still.

Anton Karlsson could project to be a good 3rd line RW, so he's on my short list as well.

Andreas Englund would be a great later 2nd round pick, so hopefully he's available. He's 6'3" and already plays a physical game on D, but can still move the puck well. Similar projection to Nik Kronwall? I hope so.

I would really like to see some Flames trades today as well

[Roof-Daddy]

Pretty stoked.

Four picks in the next two rounds. Can't wait to see who the Flames pick.

Absolutely ludicrous price.

How long do Rounds 2-7 usually take?

Gilles has NHL potential.
