[dave1959]

yep...Great job updating the draft list Scott, thanks.

[Shoalzie]

Google has made this easier. Glad it went well.

[Monk]

Awesome job Scotty boy!! Thx for putting in the time

[The BBKL Insider]

Scott for BBKL president

[Handsome&FairMike]

Scottie is the Man!

[Fraser]

Is Jake Morrissey Josh Morrissey brother?

Yup he is

[kyuss]

going back through the draft list, I'm surprised no one took Lucas Carlsson, among others.

Another guy missing I expect to see drafted is Jake Massie.

What are your best guesses for soon to be NHL draftees that were passed over in our 2015 draft?

[Matthew]

Casey Fitzgerald - ranked late 4th -5th rd on a lot of lists i saw.

Massie was drafted.

Guys I expect to be drafted that BBKL passed on are Artyom Volkov (22nd ranked Euro) Colt Conrad and possibly Jake Jeremko.

Massie was drafted.

ahh, right there in the 7th

[The BBKL Insider]

Trevor Linden said the nucks will have an active draft full of trades.

[Tony]

Almost took Jaremko with my last pick. If he was 6'2 I probably would have taken him.

28. Los Angeles -- Gabriel Carlsson
29. Toronto (from NSH) -- Jansen Harkins
30. Boston (from TOR via PHI) -- Ilya Samsonov
30B. Philadelphia *COMPENSATION* -- Mackenzie Blackwood

really not surprised by Roy, Sprong, Kylington and Bracco falling out of the 1st.

Surprised instead that Merkley was close to be in their company.

Bracco is the one I could see fall farther.
Kylington and Sprong best bets are probably with teams that have multiple picks and are less worried in going with a boom/bust type of prospect. So one might think of Toronto, but if they really wanted one of them they wouldn't have traded down from #29 I guess.

Guessing next 3 picks I'd say something like Bittner @COL, Carlo/Harkins @ARZ, Dunn @TBY.

but 2nd round going to be super interesting.. feels like there are 50 candidates for 30 spots.

[Shoalzie]

The 5 that weren't in our first round were taken no later than 43...Senyshyn was the latest of the NHL 1st rounders.

Colorado picks 31 and 40 so I don't think they'll reach at 31...take best available. I thought Carlo made sense at 32 to Arizona because I assumed they'd go with a forward with the 3rd overall. With Roy and Kylington sliding...that might move Carlo back some more. Maybe the Lightning take Carlo since they love the big defensemen.

[lightupdadarkness]

Day 2 should be fun. Lots of good players left especially with Boston's Lets Pretend to be a GM for the day picks

[CasperX22]

Yes Boston keep going off board!

[Lee]

what time does the 2nd round start ?

[CasperX22]

10

[Shoalzie]

Yup, early start and it should wrap up mid-afternoon.

[Arian The Insider]

Roy finally goes at 31. Was hoping he'd fall to the Leafs.
