2018 FNHL Entry Draft (OFFICIAL)

[PsychoticPondGoons]

12.   (from ; originally ) picked C - Barrett Hayton (Yotes took him 5th overall). Surprised he lasted this long. Figured he'd be gone by the 10 slot. My preferred pick was Evan Bouchard but he was taken a pick earlier. He was the guy I had in mind when I completed my trade with the Avs to move back in the draft from #1. BooYah!  those Pens. Hayton is a great pick at #12.

I thought someone would grab him before 8th. Slide til 12th. Surprised as well. Big kid good hands. Just needs to work on his acceleration and he'll be a power fwd to look out for.

Yes Hayton is solid I was a bit surprised he went as high as he did in the actual draft. That said I was more surprised Zona took him, thought a wing would have been a better call since they are loaded up the middle.

Nice Pick Pigs that kid is smallish but close enough to 6 foot and elite playmaking ability.

Was looking at Borchard for the Leafs but crow got him. No complaints as I am real high on LW Joel Farabee.

Tough to go wrong with any of these picks. Hayton and Farabee seem like solid choices. I wanted to go D, so I was eyeing Bouchard at #11. Started to look like I was going to flip a coin between him and Boqvist, but then Pigs made the choice for me.

Plenty of good D to go around in this draft. Watched clips of Boqvist and his skating reminds me of Brayden Point's stride for some reason, short and choppy but that little guy is quick.

There's a trade to announce.

21. has been dealt to the Calgary Flames

Gotta say this has to be one of the best avg draft times since I've been here

Yeah it took me awhile to pull the trigger on the last one. I passed on some guys I liked a lot, but I took one of my favorite players in the draft.

Ha some times i think you have a copy of my list. Been a few times you have taken a player i have up next a pick or 3 before my selection

[blkhwkfn]

Berggren is pretty solid 200 ft player

I really liked Edmonton's last pick. I was hoping he'd fall to me, but I knew that was too good to be true.

This is a much deeper draft than people give it credit for.
