Thing is, odds change wildly with the picks taken or traded and comparing picks of that caliber is a bit of a stretch to call it an equal chance of success. Yes, drafting players is certainly not an easy task especially if your draft capital is low in quantity. But I expect careful handling of picks because sometimes trading away picks can get you burned. Super hyperbolic, you say? Don't get it twisted. I'm viewing Holland with cautious suspicion and not blind optimism here.

Regardless, the odds of getting a regular NHL player for 6-8 years from the 31 and 59 picks is a good measure higher than just the 24. Simple facts. Good trade.

These announcers are terrible.

That depends on how durable that player is and how well he performs overall. Be optimistic all you want, I'm not getting ahead of myself.

The pace of the draft is just excruciating.

Lol, commentator comparing the Blackhawks pick to Dubois. Thank God we didn't pick him. She described Dubois as "floating on the ice." He sure did.

None of your replies make any sense, respectfully. At this stage of the draft it's an odds / luck / crapshoot.

It's impossible to predict "durability" or "how well he preforms overall". It's literally pulling a name out of a hat.

Vern Fiddler’s little boy, maybe?

Bailey getting emotional...I'm sure that's not the steroids.

That trade blows… Holland must be thinking trades instead of drafting.

Pretty sure Holland said he was hands off, and letting the scouting team handle the draft. The trade down maneuver is yanetti’s strategy, and he stated it clearly in his recent interview. Point blank, sight unseen, he would almost -always- trade down, unless it was a fairly extraordinary circumstance(like drafting Drew 2nd overall).

And I'm taking your "respectful" comments towards me with a grain of salt. So quit it.

Tomorrow will be better.

All you need is some lime and tequila and you're in great shape!

Sorry, but I'm a teetotaler.

Are we moving slower than the typical previous 1st round draft events? I thought it was generally a 4-5 hour event, if I’m not mistaken?

Drafts have not been the Kings strong suit in recent years…

 

[JC6388LAKings]

So the Kings chose a D-man. Well, at least Holland found his player in the first pick of the Kings era under him.

Will they charge extra for his jerseys?

Once again someone fed the pick to Hoven early.
