DanielNegreanu 141 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 That Grant McGegg guy loves Kotkaniemi but he is super biased. Seems like he could develop into a gamebreaker, though, and I don't think Hayton has as high a ceiling. He is going to get every opportunity to be the #1 center in Montreal. Not this season, but soon since the team is in tank mode. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Kotkaniemi will be a stud c-man. Almost Kopitarish, but maybe more Eric Staal. I dont know if he learns and adapts very quickly, but I could see him becoming a true #1C and be an elite scorer in the NHL.

MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I'm beginning to feel not so bad for paying what I thought was a lot, for Benn and Karlsson this time last year. Kyrou is a nice get, and with the 2 firsts, very nice. Link to post Share on other sites

MapleLeafs 142 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Oh boy, that draft had my head spinning. Never had so many 1st rounders. My thoughts on the draft. 1. I was not moving off of Dahlin 2. Tkachuk at 3rd? Really 3. I was hoping that Kravtsov would drop down to 8th but got taken at 6th 4. at 8th was hoping for Kravtsov and stumped what to take. Didn't really like Barrett Hayton but don't think the Canadiens drafted a good prospect in Kotkaniemi. So I took Hayton 5. Really wanted Evan Bouchard at 11 and glad I got him. 6. At 12 I did like Noah Dobson but draft 3 D? So I went with the Port Perry kid in Ty Dellandrea. If Ty can't play hockey lets hope he knows how to fish and play poker. Late to the party, but I agree with 1 and 2. I had Tkachuk 7th on my list. I had Kravstov at 14. Would have certainly preferred him over Barrett Hayton though who I had at 22. I had Kotkaniemi ranked 3rd. Hate Bouchard in Edmonton, but I did have him 9th on my list. Had Dellandrea at 11 and Dobson at 13. My picks were 28 and 32. When I sent JP my list I told him I expected to get 2 guys I had ranked between 17-19 (Morgan Frost, Liam Foudy, Aleksi Heponiemi) Was pleasantly surprised when he texted me that I got Ty Smith at 28.

DanielNegreanu 141 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 You guys will remember this draft in a few years as the one that helped create the new Cheap Thieves dynasty: 4. Filip Zadina 9. Jesperi Kotkaniemi 10. D Adam Boqvist 21. Dominik Bokk 41. Jonatan Berggren No way I should have gotten either Zadina or Kotkaniemi at 4 and 9. Link to post Share on other sites

Steelheads did well too, I think, except I'm not as high on Jay O"Brien. I had the sixth pick. I wanted your guy, obv, Daniel, but didn’t even expect you to him with the fourth. Do like Kravstov, Kupari should be a player, o Brien could go either way, LOVE Veleno except have to wait for him, and Two-Last-Names might or might not pan out. But I did swear out loud when you picked fourth. ******. Link to post Share on other sites
