thing is that 5`11 guy is prob about 180lbs that 6`0 guy is well over 200 lbs lol (on average) you do get your tall and skinny guys and your short and buffer guys but for the most part shorter means lighter and taller is heavier
Avsfan9601 Go Avs Go probably is, but I play NHL 18, and Veleno is Med Elite ( which is great if you don’t play nhl ea), and my mind just wrapped around that he would be a great player, but you are right, Bokk is very underrated
Wow the Islanders should take these picks and run! Both Wahlstrom and Dobson were in my top 5 and they get them at 11 and 12! The future looks bright in Long Island!
just like the future was bright when they had reinhart, dal colle and pulock in the system? Islanders picks have a tendency to bust. barzal is a very pleasant surprise. Let these two pan out first before you get excited.
If I was Tavares, I would be telling New York I will resign if you can match the highest offer or at least close. The islanders are not a bad team... all they need is a legit number 1 goalie. They’re the new Winnipeg Jets. Plus Tavares can get 8 years if he resigns with the Islanders but only 7 years max on free agency. I would take the 8 year contract but not sure if they want to knowing the history with the Dipietro contract. Tavares has proven himself but injuries can still happen
Hopefully Holland can successfully build around Zadina, Veleno, Mantha, and Larkin through trades and free agency. The defenseman will probably have to come from next year’s draft, and I wouldn’t mind if they draft a goalie in the near future because Howard is injury prone. But for right now, I’m just happy we got Zadina and Veleno.
Deathstroke the Terminator yeah but this year’s draft was so much better of a year to get an elite defenseman. Next year not so much, there’s still some solid ones but also a ton of skilled forwards that might tempt them too much again (Kakko, Newhook, Dach, etc).
crusty nuggets but yet multiple GMs passed on these players, so are all these GMs stupid or is Ken Holland just smarter. Holland has been one of the best GMs in the league for 20 years, it’s just that he has made some bad contract signings recently.
Lorne19 you’re absolutely right, the thing is Zadina was suppose to go top 5, he was the 3rd best player in the draft but he slipped, Veleno was projected 10-15, Detroit just got extremely lucky.
Merkley had elite level talent for a late round pick. I feel like if he were in a Swedish or Russian league he could have been a top 6 pick. 🤞he has a good year in the AHL or cracks the Sharks lineup this year.
Cant believe leafs got Sandin at 29! Might be the steal of the draft! Lilijgren last year now Sandin......Toronto is going to be very deep at all positions for a very long time
Was watching some video of him. Holy crap is he fast. Great puck handling too. Finally they make a move I have been begging for for a few years now. I was shocked though they didn't make a play for Veleno. Boy did everyone have that one wrong.
Ramsay, I'm just glad we have a GM who gives a damn about defense lol. Veleno floored me though. It's like he dropped far enough that GM's didn't even have him on their list because they were sure he would be gone. One list that ended up quite accurate all the way to 15th had him at 6th. Unreal.
I'm thinking it was probably that since it wasn't a draft where it's consistent talent through the whole draft GM's were willing to take more chances for hitting that sleeper pick. I'm thinking they saw something in their pick that made them think they could have something. It was a really screwy draft so that's what makes me think that way.
Hockey is the undoubtedly the best sport in the world and the NHL and all the people who run it are awesome! Especially Gary Berman he has made the league so much better but as he knows and we all know we need more Canadian clubs...
K 'andre Miller is a beast thats all Im saying..do your research before you say a word..This kid will be a crusher and offensive killer..Very happy with this boy and that firs number nine pick is outstanding also so long as he comes over to play lol which Im sure he will
Actually am a big fan of the Stars pick. Good player on a bad team and the advanced stats are astounding. I know that doesn’t mean much but it is impressive regardless
"This is why you take the best player avaliable. and not what you need" they continue to miss out on quinn hughes because they went with the "best player avaliable"
Quite possible the Flyers Joel Farabee becomes a mid-1st round steal once he rebounds from the neck injury that most assuredly slowed his growth last year...
It's a tough call. Both those teams stole the draft. Oddly enough, I was convinced the Habs would walk away from the draft with Zadina and Veleno. In the end the Wings got 'em -_- But that Wahlstrom Dobson duo is incredibly!! Islanders are definitely won the 2018 draft.
He could definitely stay with the Isles but I gotta imagine that a competent GM, better coach and potentially a better goalie, would be a much bigger reason than two draft picks that wont be contributing for the next couple seasons.
Wings got Rasmussen last year and Zadina and Valeno this year., things are looking up. I like the Bylsma signing as power play coach. They should pick up a Defenseman or two early in round 2. Wings should be back in contention in 2-3 years. Go Wings!!!!
I have high hopes that Dahlin will help the Sabres and bring them to the playoffs at the very least. Not a Sabres fan but it's always nice to see an underdog do good for once an I'm confident that he'll do wonders for the team. But then again .... That's what people said about McDavid and the oilers didn't even sniff the playoffs this year 😕 I still have high hopes though
Let's just say your team is gonna win this years world series with a season record 105-57 1st Seed. Yankees are always good and always will be. Not trying to be salty but it's true.
6'0 draft pick
commentator: He's a pretty big guy
5'11 draft pick
Commentator: He's just a little guy
Imao 😂
right
thing is that 5`11 guy is prob about 180lbs that 6`0 guy is well over 200 lbs lol (on average) you do get your tall and skinny guys and your short and buffer guys but for the most part shorter means lighter and taller is heavier
Bingo
Connor Kudeba that’s how girls see things
Philadelphia Sport fan lol u gotta get them with ur personality
Hurricanes are proud to select Andrei Smechnikof, and they pass on Svechnikov and pick up a 5foot4 enforcer projected to go own on 7th round.
Maybe he would knock Ovi out and not the other way around then
Imagine that happen
Im from the future, Ramsus Dahlin was a good pick and end up being a star for the sabres
The announcement is irrelevant. The pick is already entered at that point.
14:45 bruh this guy is getting it after the draft.
What's the biggest pair of steals?
DET: Zadina 6th & Veleno 30th
NYI: Wahlstrom 11th & Dobson 12th
Connor McMatthews
Islanders by a mile
Dude even since Veleno by passed 20 teams I was biting my nails for st.louis to draft him, I got pissed when they passed him
BluesFan101
Honestly
Bokk is even better imo
Very underrated player
Avsfan9601 Go Avs Go probably is, but I play NHL 18, and Veleno is Med Elite ( which is great if you don’t play nhl ea), and my mind just wrapped around that he would be a great player, but you are right, Bokk is very underrated
BluesFan101
Look at Alex Thilander was ranked top 6 Dman and didn’t get drafted irl
This first round is freaking great.
2019 is a very good Cole caufield ranked 7
Chose 15 lul 108 p
72 goal
Dale Sousa because🤷♂️
@@snowux6055 it isn't even the same draft😂
@@snowux6055 Lol
Deep deep draft
Im zParanoid I think the game is just getting better
for Dman yes but for the rest. idk
imagine passing on brady tkachuk
Wow the Islanders should take these picks and run! Both Wahlstrom and Dobson were in my top 5 and they get them at 11 and 12! The future looks bright in Long Island!
Matthias Buhrmann agreed, they probably got the biggest steals of the draft imo
Matthias Buhrmann Isles are gonna be SCARY in a couple years as long as they get a goalie
With a new GM and Trotz at the helm, they have a solid core now.
just like the future was bright when they had reinhart, dal colle and pulock in the system? Islanders picks have a tendency to bust. barzal is a very pleasant surprise. Let these two pan out first before you get excited.

at 6:25 rip that fan
TheAlexisNHL nah. He just dabbed
Japetsu699
Hahah just what I was about to say

We got Mortiz Seider now 😉💪
8:52 “and the beat goes off”
smechnikof
AldomanTV 0:34
AldomanTV it's all right haha
😒
Rip andrei
Stupid girl
1:36 Did she rise from her grave lol.
Makkaraa
Makkaraa
Mikko Mallikas spede
kyrsä 😂😂
Redwings and Islanders killed the first round
No
Not the wings
Wow way to go Detroit. Two great picks.
Detroit taking Zadina at 6 and Veleno at 30... holy god....
Did someone replace Kenny Holland with a robot?
i think anyone you took off the street would make those same choices, they were quite easy choices
crusty nuggets but yet multiple GMs passed on these players, so are all these GMs stupid or is Ken Holland just smarter. Holland has been one of the best GMs in the league for 20 years, it’s just that he has made some bad contract signings recently.
I mean like is not a suprise Detroit has been good a drafting
Anthony Guild can’t believe the rangers passed him
Boqvist fits right in with Chicago
Still can’t believe we picked kk
"You don't draft by position" - Brian Burke (Detroit needed a D).
One pick later: Vancouver is proud to select Quinn Hughes.
That list of previous first round picks for Montreal is pretty brutal
Both red wing picks were steals. Damn they got lucky.
Lorne19 you’re absolutely right, the thing is Zadina was suppose to go top 5, he was the 3rd best player in the draft but he slipped, Veleno was projected 10-15, Detroit just got extremely lucky.
Lorne19 What part of that was based on their scouting?? Who the hell could have thought Zadina goes 6th???
Owen Polley Islanders stole this draft easily
Ikr
ahahhaaahahha
This draft is DEEP with talent.
*Lord Dahlin is a Sabre!!*
Quinn Hughes just an absolute Gem
Got his first Norris
Canucks stole the draft again with Hughes. Pettersson last year now this lol
steals
Stealin*
Damn the Islanders won the first round big time
islanders and Detroit easily
The islanders and detroit ran away with the draft.
Kudos to vancouver for sitting there and having Hughes fall into that lap as well
Avsfan9601 Go Avs Go and they got a brand new coach too. Seems to be a big year coming for islanders
Islanders got two potential top 9 talents and a 1st round talent in Wilde
Zadina for Red Wings is really good
Veleno needs to shoot the puck more
Sabres too
Gerry Bettman, the world's most beloved commissioner!
Not gonna lie, at first I was upset on us passing on wahlstrom but in all honesty upon research. This kid is the real deal.
5 years later, this draft was great for defencemen and meh for forwards.
6:24 cracks me up every time😂
Lmaooo
Свечников №2 (Каролина)
Кравцов №9 (Рейнджерс)
Денисенко №15 (Флорида)
Алексеев №31 (Вашингтон)
Redwings stole the show
No
This aged well lol
lol didnt age well
Ryan Merkley will be the first round steal of the 2018 nhl draft. Mark my word!
Not with how much of a locker room cancer he is.
Merkley had elite level talent for a late round pick. I feel like if he were in a Swedish or Russian league he could have been a top 6 pick. 🤞he has a good year in the AHL or cracks the Sharks lineup this year.
Farabee will be a nice fit with Philly
every mom looks exactly the same
Shero: “with the first selection”
6:23 XD poor guy
Austy *D A B B I N G I N T E N S I F I E S*
Lmao
Watch Vancouver get jack Hughes too lmao
Derek Lasker We will never win anything that is possible to win
i'll eat an entire glass of water if we get jack hughes.
wut
Derek Lasker don't you mean 5th overall again? lol
MLGPickaxeGaming hey Sabres finally won it this year Vancouver and Arizona are due
Nice to see Bettman was as popular as ever.
Vancouver steal that Draft Quinn Hughes
they sure did
Cant believe leafs got Sandin at 29! Might be the steal of the draft! Lilijgren last year now Sandin......Toronto is going to be very deep at all positions for a very long time
Was watching some video of him. Holy crap is he fast. Great puck handling too. Finally they make a move I have been begging for for a few years now. I was shocked though they didn't make a play for Veleno. Boy did everyone have that one wrong.
Storm Rider .....no
Ramsay, I'm just glad we have a GM who gives a damn about defense lol. Veleno floored me though. It's like he dropped far enough that GM's didn't even have him on their list because they were sure he would be gone. One list that ended up quite accurate all the way to 15th had him at 6th. Unreal.

I'm thinking they saw something in their pick that made them think they could have something. It was a really screwy draft so that's what makes me think that way.
Yes let’s go I’m a Detroit fan
top 3 been pretty good this season
hell no.. KK is trash
Hockey is the undoubtedly the best sport in the world and the NHL and all the people who run it are awesome! Especially Gary Berman he has made the league so much better but as he knows and we all know we need more Canadian clubs...
K 'andre Miller is a beast thats all Im saying..do your research before you say a word..This kid will be a crusher and offensive killer..Very happy with this boy and that firs number nine pick is outstanding also so long as he comes over to play lol which Im sure he will
he said he's 100% sure he's coming over so yay
I’m here after the Islanders wok game 1 with the pens. Oliver Wahlstrom and Noah Dobson are great picks.
Rasmus Dahlin ❤️❤️❤️❤️
2 more days to go!! HELL YEAH
Smvechnikof
1:36 that fan is like WHYYG
when the habs took kk there was just this akward silance
Casey Norman people were like yeah montreal will draft zadina ... WAIT what kotkaniemi? Lol
the Rangers getting Kravstov, Miller, and Lundkvist all in the same draft is tidy work
Kravtsov Lmao. He already wants out. It’s another Lias Andersson situation. The Rangers loaned him to the KHL again.
Farabee what a steal
Actually am a big fan of the Stars pick. Good player on a bad team and the advanced stats are astounding. I know that doesn’t mean much but it is impressive regardless
yea bro he's got talent , i see him as the next denis gurianov
VDL i sure hope not 😬
Not just a great player, but great person. Could be a future captain for the Stars.
Dont quit your day job Benn
I wonder what the lady at 1:37 thinks of Kotkaniemi now? Also, what’s her name
"This is why you take the best player avaliable. and not what you need" they continue to miss out on quinn hughes because they went with the "best player avaliable"
Canucks got the loudest cheers
y.....
Darren Cao cause we got hughes
.......
i thougt NYI
..btw...lets go canuck
3:47 lol look at Jack Hughes
Kravtsov will be top 5 player coming out of the 2018 draft.
Wow detroit could have had Hughes. Wow
Quite possible the Flyers Joel Farabee becomes a mid-1st round steal once he rebounds from the neck injury that most assuredly slowed his growth last year...
Evan Bouchard reaction was like WTF?
It's a tough call. Both those teams stole the draft. Oddly enough, I was convinced the Habs would walk away from the draft with Zadina and Veleno. In the end the Wings got 'em -_-
But that Wahlstrom Dobson duo is incredibly!! Islanders are definitely won the 2018 draft.
Tavares is probably staying in long island now
He could definitely stay with the Isles but I gotta imagine that a competent GM, better coach and potentially a better goalie, would be a much bigger reason than two draft picks that wont be contributing for the next couple seasons.
I think he is going to the sharks
Pittsburgh Penguins sike
Welp
With Tavares gone it’s good we got lucky with these picks - islander rebuild incoming
Alexeyev is a steal
10:08 I want a hug too.
13:15 can't keep his mouth closed while chewing his gum
Man, Flames could’ve had Wahlstrom or Dobson if they hadn’t traded a first round pick for god damn Hamonic
bro I feel your pain
This was such a big draft day for ny
Redwings should have drafted Quinn Hughes
Islanders and red wings definitely won the cup, cant wait to see what this team does in the next few years
John Dombroski I think the Capitals won the cup
5:02 u messed it up a bit just saying 🤣
top 4 should have been this
1 dahlin
2 svechnikov
3 tkachuk
4 hughes
Dahlin, Hughes, Tkachuk, Svechnikov.
Hughes will probably over take Dahlin
0:27 did this man say 1997 smh
Derek Lasker
Yep
*1987*
Wings got Rasmussen last year and Zadina and Valeno this year., things are looking up. I like the Bylsma signing as power play coach. They should pick up a Defenseman or two early in round 2. Wings should be back in contention in 2-3 years. Go Wings!!!!
didn't age well lol
4:59, 5:38
Islanders got bode Wilde in the second the steal continues
16:31 Shoutout to the dude wearing a Houston Aeros jersey! 🤘
Vancouver got the steal of the draft. Big winner of today's draft tho is easily Barret Hayden
Calgary And Vegas must be going insane
4:13 “yeah that’s a bit of a reach there for me”
Lmao
LOL
joe veleno at 30!!!
Was that Jarmo announcing Noah Dobson's name for the Island or am I tripping?
Canucks won the Draft 2018
Yup
The Hughes family boys looks 12 years old holy crap
as a montreal fan I fdon't want to remember this anymore... Also 1:38 most habs fans reaction now when we rewatch it...
Andre snentsknikooov
If your Edmonton, do you pass Evan Bouchard at 10?
Who won the first round tho?
Buffalo - Dahlin
New York Islanders - Walhstrom, Dobson
Detroit - Zadina, Veleon
Chicago
13:10 WTF HOW DO U CHEW THE GUM
I have high hopes that Dahlin will help the Sabres and bring them to the playoffs at the very least.
Not a Sabres fan but it's always nice to see an underdog do good for once an I'm confident that he'll do wonders for the team.
But then again .... That's what people said about McDavid and the oilers didn't even sniff the playoffs this year 😕
I still have high hopes though
6:05 Should've drafted some ketchup chips.
Andre SMECHnikov will always make me laugh lol
Kravstov>Wahlstrom
Kravstov sucks like Wahlstrom. Couple mental midgets
Oops
who cares both are bust hahaha
DAHLIN GOES FIRST
You could've said spoiler alert you fok
Hockey dude 21 you could’ve watched it first
DomaNyte 6 lol
Cling habs really 15 overall when you can pick Zadjna or the 5th overall center
Barr st hastens surprising
Just give the Islanders the 2020 cup
Yankees 2018 wouldn't be suprised if they do.
Let's just say your team is gonna win this years world series with a season record 105-57 1st Seed. Yankees are always good and always will be. Not trying to be salty but it's true.
Go Knights Go 2018! It’s not guaranteed but we are looking pretty good rn
Go red sox
They need a goalie first
Rasmus Dahlin
1st overall pick by Buffalo
Lets Frickin Go!!!!
Good job on the #tankfordahlin
My wings coulda had huges 🤯
