True lol! You did have some risers though. Most of my guys fell. Many I expected. Some were a surprise like Primary, but doesn't really change how I think of said prospects.

Yup, draft position doesn't matter to me. I genuinely liked every prospect I drafted, or else I wouldn't have chosen them lol.

Looks like I posted this in the wrong thread so..


2017 DRAFT NASHVILLE PICKS

#4 - Casey Mittelstadt (8th BUF)
before Combine was expecting top5, after it him falling to a 8th wasn't a real surprise. Personally I couldn't care less about his Combine results and I was pleased to learn his answer to that https://twitter.com/ChadGraff/status/871782769814364160

#14 - Klim Kostin (31st STL)
was expecting top20, but Russian + shoulder injury hurt his case obviously. Hilarious trade by the Pens btw. If I'm the owner I fire the GM the following day without caring about the Cups he just won.

#15 - Eli Tolvanen (30th NSH)
was expecting top20, but I like his landing spot

#30 - Henri Jokiharju (29th CHI)
went at the lower end of the range I was expecting for him, love his landing spot

#32 - Marcus Davidsson (37th BUF)
went at the lower end of the range I was expecting for him, on paper Sabres had a lucky early part of the draft

#44 - Dmitri Samorukov (84th EDM)
didn't understand why he was ranked that low, don't understand why dropped accordingly, love his landing spot

#59 - Gustav Lindstrom (38th DET)
went exactly where I expected

#70 - Ivan Chekhovich (212h SJ)
funny to see him drop like that, hopefully the next Ondrej Kase case

#75 - Lucas Elvenes (127th VEG)
I don't think he would have dropped much further in BBKL and drafted him for potential, made sense for my # of picks and prospects, but I could see reasons for him to drop in NHL draft

#113 - Kirill Slepets (undrafted)
didn't expect him to go undrafted after being one of the best at U18s, but you never now with Russians I guess

#128 - Daniil Tarasov (86th CLB)
3rd round was the highest I was expecting him to go, and actually encouraged by the news about the LBI he is going through

#129 - Calle Sjalin (145th NYR)
was expecting 4th/5th round

#163 - Jakob Stenqvist (2016 176th DAL)
from last yr draft, had a pretty good season

#172 - Jacob Peterson (132th DAL)
think he belonged higher in this draft but was a bit of a sleeper imo so not really surprising to see him last till the 5th

#188 - Eetu Luostarinen (42nd CAR)
was expecting 3rd Round, nice to see him picked up by CAR too

#197 - Jerry Turkulainen (undrafted)
had little chances to get selected with his size, will need to prove people wrong at other levels first for that to happen

#216 - Adam Kubik (undrafted)
thought his chances of getting drafted were 50-50


Only surprising guy to go undrafted was Slepets, but again, he's Russian, NHL teams seem to feel more comfortable drafting them later on in their draft eligibility, probably once they make more of a commitment to come over. Which I believe is dumb. Especially when it turns into drafting worse prospects.

Hopefully this will turn out to be my best draft yet.
The positions where these guys were selected mean zip for that matter.
