2020 NHL Draft

Sandin played in the NHL in his D+2 season. Robertson looks like he'll be playing in the NHL in his D+2 season. Wouldn't be stunned if Amirov followed that trend in 21/22. He's one of the oldest players from this draft, he plays an all-around game, and he'll have two season of professional hockey against men under his belt.
 
Bob McKenzie: "it's not a good year for Americans"... he was talking about their lack of top prospects in this draft but I wonder if that was referring to other things as well.
 
I love all this "Being a 2nd generation player gives you a leg up because you're not intimidated by being in NHL dressing rooms or by the travel" and it's not that, you know, it may give you access to better coaching or just the money to be on all the travel teams.

But no, I'm sure it's that other guys get lost on the way to dressing rooms.

Burning ELCs with short, short jaunts like Nylander's first is probably better for our cap situation going forward.
 
The Sharks director of amateur scouting is Doug Wilson Jr.

What a remarkable coincidence.
 
Tomorrow hopefully at least one of: Marat Khusnutdinov, Helge Grans, Topi Niemela, Anton Johannesson

Meaning he intended to take Rodion regardless of where he was picking? Makes me think he was probably going in the next pick or two.
 
Columbus? next pick is in the 3rd rd at Montreal?s slot. Not sure why they didn?t try to trade down into the second for an extra third/fourth or something. This is a lot of undue pressure now.

No shit.
 
I read the responses to the Leafs tweet announcing this selection and I genuinely think of the ~100 I managed to cope with reading 2 of them were less than murderous rage of anger at the selection.

This one was one of my favourites

As if those upset fans would have recognized anyone taken at #15.  They wanted to hear "at number 15 the Leafs are proud to select from the St Louis Blues Alex Pietrangelo!"

Panel: "wait is this allowed? Oh my Leafs just selected Pietrangelo 12 years after his draft year! Have they found an NHL loophole??!"
