    Calgary had a very good draft. I was hoping Klimchuk would fall to us. And Monahan, of course, will be impressive.

    Chicago Blackhawks: B

    Round 1 (30th): RW Ryan Hartman -- Local kid. Physical player. Good hockey sense. But not a game-changer. B+

    Round 2 (51st): D Carl Dahlstrom -- Great shot blocker, but, that's about it. B-

    Round 3 (74th): C John Hayden -- Was expected to go in 2nd round. A

    Round 4 (111th): D Robin Norell -- They traded up with San Jose to get this guy, but I don't understand why. He was expected to go undrafted, or maybe 7th round. Very little is known about him, he played in Sweden and was rarely scouted. His numbers are weak. D-

    Round 4 (121st): C Tyler Motte -- Projected to be a 3rd round pick. A

    Round 5 (134th): C Luke Johnson -- Not a noteworthy pick here. But there's not much better left. B-

    Round 6 (181st): C/LW Anthony Louis -- ONLY 5'7" 155 POUNDS! HE'S A SHRIMP!! But he's a terrific puck handler and has good awareness. B

    Round 7 (211th) (Last pick of draft): D Robin Press -- Probably no future in NHL but ya never know. B

    Overall a good draft, with just one questionable pick. I would prefer to have Bolland and Frolik back instead of some of these picks, though.

    It's an era previous problem that most bettors are plagued with each of their lives. When you can afford to keep losing month following month, then at the least you get to keep trying. But in fact, you're only trying in the useless trust this one time you'll grab that major gain and every thing is going to be all right again and that you can only make it just happened here https://tr.im/QuPQH with Zcodes System.

    Max Domi could go either way. I like his play, but he's not a show stealer. That could work well for the Coyotes, who have certainly done more with less.

    The rest of the draft was based mostly on forwards, which is obviously our driest resource. I was surprised no moves were made however to send some of our D prospects away for picks in a draft so deep with talented forwards. With Yandle and OEL leading the charge from defense, there isn't a need to have Gormley, Rundblad and Murphy. Maybe they're waiting to see how Murphy develops a little more, but as it stands right now they're hindering Gormley's development, and I think either him or Yandle needs to be shipped out. Yandle already has a rapport with the fans and a standing on the team, but would also fetch a higher price. They also have solid young defense men in Schlemko, Summers, Stone and Goncharov, so it's not like they're gambling their future by sending one prospect away.

    SABRES

    A-

    Drafted size and skill, no one under 180 pounds. We had 5 picks in the first 2 rounds, and league high 11 picks. Good draft.

    Toronto

    A+

    Kept our 1st rounder for once, drafted a big 6'4'' centre and traded for some experience down the middle with Bolland.

    I am nobody to ask to judge draft picks but if I listen to my mind, not to my heart, then the Flames won't do the postseason again. Just hope that the rebuild ends as soon as possible.
