I've watched Connelly since he was young. A super special player, who's done a lot to establish himself as a leader by example in Tri-City. He was in my Top 10 and fits Vegas' style. Kaplan said this was her steal of the draft and I agree!

The Donny V

8:21

I do hope this kid actually gets a shot with Vegas and not another organization

Gabriel Foley

8:22

Me too. Vegas is a great fit - he matches their energy and grit!

And I think he'd take well to Bruce Cassidy's rigor.

The Donny V

8:23

As much as I dont like vegas it would be nice for them to allow their rookies to get ripe and play for them

Gbear

8:23

Knights need to take this kid to KFC and get some weight on him, lol!

Gabriel Foley

8:23

I'm telling ya! But he's got weight to add, I could see him beefing up to even 185/190

Boz

8:24

Lots of buffets in Vegas

The Donny V

8:24

Lou please for the love of God take the Russian kid for Nashville

Gabriel Foley

8:25

Now we're to Lou. Should they prioritize upside or projectability?

Eiserman or Chernyshov?

Zakis

8:26

Best available, doesn't matter who

Gbear

8:26

Habs go D at 21?

Gabriel Foley

8:26

Oh yeah, they traded up! No way they expected Eiserman to be there? What a day it'd be to leave with him AND Demidov...

8:27

Ah there it is, Lou does in fact reunite with Eiserman!

Three straight USHL picks, could Montreal make it four with Hage?? They do like him!

Gbear

8:27

Isles got their goals!

Gabriel Foley

8:27

No kidding!

The Donny V

8:27

🙃

8:28

Well Gbear here comes our D at 22

UncleMike1526

8:29

Sorry was holding that until after the Hawks pick. I missed Eiserman. The Hawks old pick.

Gabriel Foley

8:29

No kidding. Such boring risk-takers this year!

Going to be interesting to see where Montreal goes. This could be another shocker. Though it seems like there arent any shocking fallers anymore.

I'd think they're leaning Hage!

UncleMike1526

8:30

I wonder if KD knew who was going to be there at 20 if he makes that trade?

Gabriel Foley

8:30

Right, the sin of making that kind of trade a month early!

8:32

Not to prolong the dialogue - but it's interesting to see Eiserman land with the Isles. There's been a lot of discussion about him potentially being another Oliver Wahlstrom - another child star who failed to build out his fundamentals young. Seems New York will get another chance to turn that mold into an NHL star. Again, Eiserman's upside is boundless... so worth a shot.

UncleMike1526

8:32

Wonder if he's starting to count contracts? What can you have 50?

Gabriel Foley

8:33

50!

Drury Wants the Jewelry

8:33

What are the Bruins thinking at 35?

Gabriel Foley

8:33

We have them selecting Cole Beaudoin at 25 in our mock!

Josh Erickson

8:33

Habs are drafting annoyingly well tonight.

Gabriel Foley

8:33

Oh yeah, they get my faves in Demidov (my #2) and Hage (my #10). What a night

8:34

Could I be so snide to say Hage could be Montreal's next top-line centerman?

Gbear

8:34

Please hockey gods, don't let Trotz go D!

UncleMike1526

8:34

It's starting to get silly how many picks the Hawks have.

Gabriel Foley

8:35

They're on their way once again. I think Kyle Davidson's run in Chicago hasn't been appreciated enough. Though... getting Bedard and Levshunov is some fine support.

matt

8:35

UncleMike1526

8:35
