Detroit with the reach. But it's hard to doubt Yzerman. 

Would have thought Detroit would have taken the Russian.  Man, someone is going to get a really good player late.

So who do the coyotes like so much that they moved up?

Guess they figured Minnesota wanted Soderstrom?

[gotbeer]

Weird.  With Boldy, Krebs, and Caufield still on the board.  Although Caufield might be a bit small for that high still.

[gotbeer]

Vegas got a good player in Krebs at 17.

Surprisingly "boring" competent draft by the Kings in the first round.

Byram and Newhook is a good day for the Avs

They couldn’t really pass Turcotte at 5 but I bet they were set to take Zegras before Turcotte got past 3 and 4. Those 2 might have a lot of years being compared to each other

You think Zegras before Dach?

Dach was never getting past the Avs

I wonder if the Kings would have chosen anyone besides Dach/Byram/Turcotte?

[arch stanton]

Zegras is the only one that probably got any thought with that trio

Kopi isn’t getting any younger.

Turcotte was a great pick at #5.

On the kings message board. They’re raving about the kid they picked in the 2nd round. High risk high reward. I guess he has a lights out shot. He’s plays on the wing. Arthur Keliyev

Turcotte & Zegras was best possible outcome for the Kings & Ducks. Chicago & Edmonton layed an egg. Edmonton should have taken Zegras or Boldy or Podkolzin, Zegras could always play on RNH's wing as some think Zegras becomes a winger anyways.

Detroit drafted what might be a Hampus Lindholm situation where the guy expected to go at around #15 goes 6th overall instead & may end up being way better than expected. I see Seider becoming the 2nd best Dman of the draft.

Offensively he reminds me of a young Corey Perry, great goal scoring instincts but mediocre skating. Perfect guy for Turcotte to feed the puck to.

This management group seems to know what they are doing in constructing the club.

[arch stanton]

In fairness, Krebs was a no-brained in that spot. He’d have been long gone if not for the injury
