He was taken 18th in the 2012 draft. So if that same draft were done today, he would he have been a top 3 pick? He developed and 17 teams fucked up? Cuz it seems that's how people talk about him.

Just watch.

Man, I hate when these Johnny come lately bandwagon jumpers come to our hockey section and don't even know the game. You're no gay, Beardown.

Just asking if he was under drafted. If the 17 guys ahead of him are as talked about or even in the NHL. Or maybe he just developed. I know he was 17 when they picked him.

I'm trying to follow this but the Icetracker is all fucked up and only updating the score and clock. No stats or PBP at all. I might as well watch the god damn Wings/Blue Jackets game that is on tv here.

Who scored for the Hawks? All I've got is a big 1-0 and a blank screen.

What an effort there by Shaw. Nice. And a +1 for Teuvo

I don't get their Daryl Reaugh obsession. Ex-player who shouts a lot and forces catch phrases? Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

On second thought no +1 for a PPG.

I'm not sure what the reason was (fuzzy memory. Old age.) but he slipped in the draft. I'm not sure if it was an injury or attitude or what, but he should have been a top 10 pick and somehow slid. StanBow tore a calf he sprinted to the podium so fast.

Once again Shaw shows Bickell what he should be doing once he gets his dog ass back in the lineup.

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

A lot of people remarked on how Teravainen fell in that draft due to size and the Hawks were very lucky to get him. Brandon Saad also plummeted the year before that based on concerns about effort, which, uh, fucking lol, Saad's a damn hard worker.

As for a 2012 redraft, I don't know if he'd go top 3 in hindsight. Yakupov, Hertl, and Trouba, most likely.

Nice to see Shaw put it in there. First PPG since Kaner went down, right?


Teuvo looks like he belongs. That's good.

Size. He didn't slip that's where he was projected if I remember correctly.

All but 4 of those guys debuted in the NHL before him.

Let's not forget that he plays for Q here man. He could score 2 assists and a goal and Q won't play him for a week.

No points for Teuvo.

Bust.

Got a rebound on Sharp's shot. Had his back to the goal, fell on a knee as he was turning to backhand it in. Went from the center to the left side.

Farvio is just busting your balls.

Shaw, to answer the question that Spaulding had a stroke during.

Yeah. But if you're a top 10 pick, you're on a shitty team. So they're gonna call you up. Plus I'd imagine at least half of those guys were a few years older than this one.

Beardown, in hockey everyone is pretty much drafted at 18.

Tim Sassone's corpse just blocked you on Twitter.

Some do, most don't. Most guys play major-junior from 16 to 20 and are drafted after 18. NCAA hockey is generally for big stay-at-home defenseman, power forwards, and guys who couldn't hack it in major-junior.

The window for drafting is 18 to 20. You can draft an incoming freshman and keep his rights for four years. That's what the Hawks did with Stephen Johns, who's wrapping up at Notre Dame right now and should join the team next year (or for the playoffs).

You guys told him the who. It was a very exciting goal, gotta stroke something!

Krueger just ran into Bollig at the bench door.

Gotcha.

That's sig worthy, had I not had a great sinic quote.

Didn't The captain and Oshie both play for North Dakota?
