Oilers at No. 38: Raphael Lavoie

by Lowetide

I had him No. 26, this is excellent value.

Adam Sherren: “Lavoie is a big physical force who is that old fashioned power forward.” He is a strong skater and has a goal-scorer’s touch. Aggressive, a force.

Corey Pronman: He’s 6-foot-4, skates well for a big man and has a high skill level. 

Scott Wheeler: He gets to the net at will and he has the ability to finish plays in tight by pounding home rebounds or using some impressive stick handling to beat goalies with a deke.

Kings shredding this draft

Yeah, but #ThoroughlyMediocreCoach who refuses to let D the zone passing into the middle.

Munny

godot10,

Agreed. Definitely too rich.

Munny:
Miller trade made official. Price was a bit dear.Would you have paid that, Godot?

Not a first round pick. I’m looking for bargain prices. Tampa signed Coburn to hold place for Foote, so they became less of a match.

Andy Dufresne: Do they think one of these 2 will be there at 100?

Cajkovic gone.

ArmchairGM

Andy Dufresne: DO they think one of these 3 will still be there at 100(15 picks form now) ?

If so they could’ve got 2 of them.

So far they’ve spent 2 of their 3 picks on positions that are already overcrowded when they should be focusing on forwards. I think this is Gretzky and Green’s last draft as Oilers.

WTF? A goalie Kretz? When Murray, Cajkovic and Keppen were just sitting there?? WTF!

10 picks from now.

GordieHoweHatTrick

Goalie. The other position we are deep. Glad we traded a 3rd for Hayden – only not to sign him. Glad we traded a 3rd rounder for Petrovic so he could play 10 games. Hopefully the future is less stupid than the past.

Thanks Andy?

Kokkonen to the Laffs at 84

Andy Dufresne

And then there were 2

32 LC Blake Murray, Sudbury (OHL). Big center with plus speed and a scoring touch. A July 2001.

38 R Maxim Cajkovic, Saint John (QMJHL). Fantastic skater has impressive potential, played for a poor team that limited opportunity. His offensive output is miles behind his potential ala Peyton Krebs.

37 RD Anttoni Honka, Jyp (Sm-Liiga). Draft Analyst: Swift skating puck rusher who knows how to handle the puck and has the kind of mobility that keeps forecheckers honest.

I can’t wait for him to refer to them as “that team in black”

hoping for another power forward that can score and skate at our 85th pick

Murray or Keppen perhaps.

Professor Q: We had three actually, but now only one. I was only looking at the first 15 picks so it was my mistake. I didn’t see the 80s picks.

No sweat I love draft day!

Munny:
Don’t know if Cajkovic or Murray will survive till 85.

Still on the board with only 3 picks in-between.

Reja,

Are you referring to yourself in the 3rd person now? 🙂

Bag of Pucks: Better than Bag of Balls. That’s for sure!

I just picked up a bag of balls today! An acquaintance collects them from the golf courses as they play.

Psyche

The surprising thing with TSN 1260 is a few of their staffers are at the Draft in Vancouver. Seems like they only did pre-draft coverage on air. They paid for their staff to be in Vancouver, surprised they didn’t do partial coverage on air today.

Yes… I’ll shut up now (with an inward grin – really nice pick)
