2018 FNHL Entry Draft (OFFICIAL)

[PsychoticPondGoons]

12. :BUF-NHL:  (from :COL-NHL:; originally :PHO:) 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. :OTT: has been dealt to the Calgary Flames :CLG:

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.
