GDT: 2019 NHL Entry Draft in Vancouver, BC 5:00 PDT/8:00 EST NBSCN

[Filip Chytil]

U should’ve done both like me... she’s coming over a little after 8 for drinks... then we’re going out when the dust settles

Good call.....I guess the KAKKO fever has gone to my head and has affected my decision making, usually the symptoms of the final stages of the illness.....

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

Not happy. But I think it’s the right move to trade him now vs signing him or even trading him.

Especially if we hook a whale?

Look...

Trading a ransom now for Kreider is an old Rangerstown move [c. 1968-2018].

Maybe Winnipeg wants to give us more shit?

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Im not against trading him if we are getting a bigtime return but I felt it was imoortant to keep some young veteran leaders like kreider and zib. Not easy to replace what kreider brings

Kreider isn't young.

 

[MyLoveIsBlue]

If Krieds gets us to 7/8th that would be pretty sweet.

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

not if you're Russian.

That's just because they use the metric system.

 

[NYRKING30]

He's resigning?!

haha doubt its regarding anything of him personally.

 

[Thirty One]

Bettman says he has a surprise to share before the draft kicks off....

They are trying out instant replay for the draft for the first time.

 

[rangerfan_79]

Probably waiting for the draft to start to announce the trades at the podium. Think someone else mentioned that also. If so, I agree.

 

[Trxjw]

Surprised fans seem happy to trade Kreider

Blood must be sacrificed for the rebuild gods.

But seriously, I don't think you'll find many, if any, fans who are happy to trade Kreids. What were excited about is what a Kreider trade symbolizes; a new future for the organization and the willingness to make bold moves. Kreider is a very good winger and brings a lot to the table. The easy move is re-signing him and hoping you can claw back into the playoffs. It's much harder to grit your teeth and hope that you can draft a player who will eventually make you look back and say, "Yeah, it was worth it."

Bettman says he has a surprise to share before the draft kicks off....

"I forgot to tell you, I decided to re-do the lottery. The Rangers now pick 11th."

 

[JimmyG89]

He's resigning?!

50% he's resigning
50% he's re-signing

Didn't you have "Chytilmania" 12 months ago?

Imagine you were at an early Beatles concert

 

[redwhiteandblue]

Boys, I'm sure it's been asked and answered... poor Amerk here though looking for a place to stream pre-draft (I'm assuming TSN) and maybe even stick with for their coverage...

Anyone know where to get a stream of pre-draft?

 

[Trxjw]

Interviewing Newhook on NHL Network. Extremely well spoken and polite kid. Makes Lawton sound even dumber.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Going to announce the Seattle franchises stupid name

 

[FultonReed]

I burned my thumb on a skillet of chili cheese fries!!! LETS GO RANGERS!!!

Hopefully the next time we see him is on stage being handed a Rangers sweater

Really well spoken. Surprising for a Newfie

Going to announce the Seattle franchises stupid name

That's boring if true.

 

[NYRKING30]

That's it? I could see that.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Best offseason EVER

 

[Nickmo82]

Off to bed as I walked 15 miles today and I'm weak... but looking forward to waking up in a whole new world.

Enjoy the show folks!

I wanted a rebuild 3 years ago so I have zero problem trading guys
I loved Jeffs moves so far. Like I said im not against trading Kreider but I hope they at least took everything into consideration first. If he is asking for a ton of money I understand but if he is willing to take less I feel he brings so much especially to a younger team who also have speed

 

[rangers1314]

Is anyone else having a issue with the NHLN sound dropping?
