The NHL Draft is tonight! Who do you hope your team selects tonight and why?? Me personally? I'm hoping CGY takes Berkley Catton or Tij Iginla! (And for the rebuild to officially begin!) Thank you so much for watching! - MATTHEW TKACHUK IS A STANLEY CUP CHAMPION!!

In your dreams! I hope Calgary selects defenseman Zayne Parekh from the Memorial Cup winning Saginaw Spirit because they should go the defense route with their pick, Especially when you consider they traded away Hanifin and Tanev this past season.

The most confusing draft pick in nhl history is when the maple leafs chose Austin Mathews first overall instead of the GOAT Patrik Laine

Chinakhov is evidence that good THOROUGH scouting at even the peewee levels nowadays can yield diamonds in the rough where no one else is even looking yet. Remember Datsyuk and Zetterberg were drafted as players people barely knew much about too.

4:00 Chinakov is just case of great scouting I think. Some players take few years to mature into star and it just might be Chinakov is ready 24-25 season. Just might be 40 goal scorer in NHL as they have had wisdom to train and grow this guy.

The Flyers selecting Cam York over Caufield when they needed scoring is really surprising. York is turning out to be solid but man....

What I got out of it was the notes were buried in the end of draft notes where they thought he would go. Because of their unpreparedness, they decided to play it off like who is he, but all they did was sound dumber for it

But, since he was so far off the board, could they have drafted another player, rated around that level, and then drafted him in a later round. You still get him, and no one is going WTF.

HEres a confusing draft-pick for you. 1974, 11th round the Sabres draft one Taro Tsujimoto, reported as being a player in the Japan Ice Hockey League. No scout seemed to know anything about this guy. But, that league didn't exist. Nor did Taro. The GM at the time was exasperated with the length of the draft (apparently 25 rounds!!) and made up a fictional player to draft as a joke.

The issue is, NOBODY knows how a player or goalie will produce in the NHL. Teams take a chance and either it works out or it doesn't.

Slafkovsky played luke a BEAST in the IIHFC tournament. He definately looked more like he was ready for the big leagues than Wright. On the other hand, same could've been said about Laine vs Matthews.

I liked Mike Smith's pick for the Wpg Jet- Sergei Bautin. Even Bob McKenzie didn't know him. But this is how I see it - amateur scouts get paid a lot of money to scout player that fit the teams needs that employs them. Going 'off board' is a good thing - even if the player doesn't turn out (many don't). If you're just picking off the board, why bother with a scouting staff? I wouldn't want my scouting team picking off the board - if they did I'd fire the lot

you are skipping over a key thing in the 1980 draft. A guy names Wayne would have been eligible for that draft if he had not gone to the WHA. That is why Pollack did that deal 4 years earlier

But, one thing I've learned from looking back through all my old THN draft previews is that in a few years these pre-draft rankings will be meaningless, and all that will matter was whether you drafted a stud or not. If they believe he was the one, then draft him. Just don't be wrong about it.
