I liked Glass, I get it that he was obviously gone.. I don't mind Andersonn but would have rather had Yamamoto at 21
the czech kid was a safer pick than Yamamoto. They seemed to want to go the save route. Not sure why the oilers needed more offensive guys.
Two more lefty shots. Rangers seem to never want to draft any right handed shots. They played it very conservatively with their first round picks. Without first rounders they were swinging for the fences with a lot of their picks the past few years. Their 1st round selections tell me they don't believe they can afford any mistakes with their top picks because the farm sucks with the forwards right now.
Both guys have decent size - Andersson 5'11", 201 and Chytil 6"2, 192. I've had enough of the little guys, few play like Zucc.
They were trying to trade up to 3 to get a defenseman. While the reports on that guy were great, that would have been a huge mistake IMO. The system has plenty of talented D guys. Rangers get way too caught up in drafting defenseman. The system is poor with forwards right now. Also, as I said before, a good amount of forwards on this team are dumb, have a low hockey IQ, don't have great motors and are inconsistent. The guys they took are the exact opposite of that.
You figure Andersson and Chytil were overdrafted slightly but it's not a huge deal if Clark and i guess Kallur really liked them. Maybe they could've traded back a few spots but there's no guarantee the same player would be there at 15 or 16. I think Andersson will be a very good player who puts up 50 pts. Chytil is perhaps riskier but his upside is high.
They were weak at center so Gorton addressed the situation at draft time and deserves a lot of credit for the cap cutting moves he made. I would think either guy will end up with better faceoff numbers than Stepan if he makes it to the Show.
