I personally think Ekblad sometimes doesn't get the respect he deserves, probably because he's not overly flashy. I think he'll be a #1 defenseman in the NHL for a long-time. He's got great hockey sense and has the ability to play at a high-level at both ends of the rink. He's been the best player at his position at every level and doesn't look like a guy who will disappear when he reaches the pros.

Are we honestly thinking that no one has a list of who is available? There are no dummies in this league. Sometimes when I see a name out there my first thought is something must be wrong with him and I'm getting tricked into picking him. I see zero reason not to throw names out there. Maybe if I throw some names out there, you'll make your pick.

Spencer Watson.. He went 200 picks too late, but i think he's an absolute steal in the 5th round. Darren should definitely draft him

Wow Vrana an absolute steal at 19! He had a great rookie camp, and had good chemistry with Burakovsky. Don't understand how he dropped so much.

Sure hope Barbashev plays in the NHL. Drafting Russians a gamble.

I really thought we'd be further along in the draft by now.

Figured i'd may as well take a chance with the best 'slated' goalie in the draft and see what he can do in a few years!

I really thought we'd be further along in the draft by now. I guess we'd have to check, but I think this way beats the living piss out of how we used to do it, giving 24 hours to make a pick. At least this way if a bunch of guys are able to make picks before their slot, we know we only have to wait a few hours before the next guy has to have his pick in. 13 picks in a day is pretty solid.
