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

[Pierre "Monster" McGuire]

The Flames know Demko well and hey still took McDonald, so I trust them.

[SportsJunky]

Markus Petterson just went. He was the D man I wanted.

[StrykerSteve]

Demko is seriously overrated.

Demko certainly benefited playing behind a good team. McDonald played behind 2 awful teams.

[Fighting Banana Slug]

NHL Network needs to shut up and show the picks. Split screen too much to ask?

We're also the franchise that passed on Brodeur to pick Kidd.

(Though to be fair, I'm not sure how many scouts might be left from that time.)

[Clever_Iggy]

Please let one of Dougherty, MacInnis, Glover or McKeown hold on until 54. We should have been able to take 2.

I don't know why so many on here wanted Demko, it's not like he played great for BC when it mattered. Flames saw him lots. I remember the game thread for the frozen four and everyone was saying Demko was no good....and now, he's going to the other no goods.

Goalies are a long shot anyways. It'll be 3-4 years before we see if they'll pan out at the NHL level. Have to roll the dice to keep the goaltender depth strong.

[SuperMatt18]

I wasn't that impressed by Demko in the Boston College games I watched.

Flames needed another goalie prospect and MacDonald was the top goalie on some lists.

Interested to see who we get at 54 now.

[Royle9]

all these goalies... calgary clearly knew something here. glad we grabbed one now

[Ashasx]

Damn they really need to show the list on the screen here. Why so difficult?

[TheBrunk]

Was it just me, or did it take calgary a little while to take finalize their pick? Maybe one of the guys they were hoping to get got scooped up in the previous 3 picks and where a little bit scrambly to select at 34?

[JJ1532]

Hmm, some of these D-men dropping down the list. Good chance we have a solid prospect left at 54.

[sureLoss]

McKeown is still on the board

[N26]

I saw McDonald in the QMJHL first round against Halifax and he was excellent. PEI was getting vastly outplayed, ridiculously outshot and hugely outscored. Halifax scored 28 times in 4 games. And yet much of the talk was about McDonald. He was awesome. I'll take him

[Mass_nerder]

Real run on goalies here

[CalgaryFan1988]

If we can get Cornel at 54 I will be happy. I don't know anything about MacDonald so I won't judge yet.

[devo22]

Englund gone, Jacobs gone. Good defensemen still on the board: McKeown, Dougherty, Glover, Vanier, Irving, Thomas.

[Royle9]

We still have 2 third round picks correct?
