Bergevin wanted to save Bowman from drafting the guy honestly


But will it stop Bowman from trading for Virtanen shakes head

I can't remember the last year not a single Finn went in the first round.

A slight disappointment. Although this draft was bonkers in general.

Would've been a big borefest without Habs dropping the bomb right at the end.

I had Nolan Allan ranked 126th. The Hawks took him 32nd.
Isak Rosen was drafted 14th overall.
Tyler Boucher was drafted 10th overall.
Wyatt Johnston was drafted 23rd overall.
A guy who had criminal charges against him in Sweden and asked not to be drafted was drafted 31st overall.

WHAT THE HECK IS THIS DRAFT?

I mean he should've went 2nd round imo. Still an off the board pick for me.

Agree. Even if we drafted a grit grinder, it was a great day.

Well considering the DeAngelo rumours, we shouldn’t be too shocked that they’re willing to do it. But in the first round? C’mon Bergy, I love your moves, why are you trying to make me hate you?


I guess him trying to renounce his rights shows maturity? Right? I'm scratching here, but he owned it. I still can't believe Bergevin drafted him in the 1st round. Banana's

No apology to the woman he did that to doesn't count as owning it.

Granted, hockey players are proterozoic in their mentality. It's progress but it sorely misses the mark. Bergevin's potential association with the Blackhawks scandal makes this look so much worse.

Today might as well be the wildest day in hockey we've seen in a long time. I'm gonna piece out and get some sleep before the Canes draft Sasha Pastujov, Scott Morrow, Sean Behrens, Francesco Pinelli, Simon Robertsson, and Nikita Chibrikov tomorrow.
