Ugh. NJ won a top two pick. At commercial now but all teams lower than them didn't move up.
After commercial:
Philly
Sea
AZ
Montreal

AZ gets the 3rd pick. Damn.
*Only 1 Team in the NHL is picking lower than their finished spot and anticipated draft order*
Guess who that is.
COYOTES
Shane Wright is the tops but Logan Cooley isn't far behind.Was there a McDavid or Matthews caliber guy this year?
There is a chance the Devils trade #2, but if they stay, there is a possibility that Cooley slips to us. They already have a ton of young Centers but have a huge need at Wing.Wright will go #1 and Cooley #2. I like Gauthier, Yurov, and Geekie of the remaining prospects. Maybe Armstrong can grab all three with so many picks at his disposal.
I'm in the same boat. I'm just glad that 2 teams didn't jump ahead of us in the lottery.I really wanted Wright and was pissed at first, but either Cooley or the Olympic MVP (Slafkovsky) will be a pretty good consolation prize.
That's what I'm hoping for.There is a good chance the Devils trade #2, but if they stay, there is a possibility that Cooley slips to us. They already have a ton of young Centers but have a huge need at Wing.
I’m still not over not getting Austin Matthews
