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

[DoubleGold]

Kakko! Kakko! Kakko!

 

[McSauer]

...and if were talking to both EDM and BUF, why not:

CK/Vesey for 7th, and
Buch/Names for 8th

Boom.

 

[CasusBelli]

He's resigning?!

 

[JuiceNF]

Really well spoken. Surprising for a Newfie

Whoa whoa, Newfie shots fired.

 

[haveandare]

I'd say its more of the fact that this has been the most likely outcome for a good while now already and people are just accepting it. It won't be shocking.

Yeah for me it’s some of that mixed with Gorton winning trades big recently and Kreider once again not putting together a more consistent dominant season when I thought he likely would last year.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

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!

My entire family could get kidnapped by Islamic extremists and I wouldn't miss this draft.

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

Best offseason EVER

U ain't lyin'

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

Whoa whoa, Newfie shots fired.

They eat a lot of Seal pie.

 

[CasusBelli]

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

I’d keep him long term at $6.5-7.5. I don’t think he’d ask for more than that in any case.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

We sacrificed enough blood so far. Let's just get some fresh blood in and sit tight.

Vesey and Nam are the only lambs left, if any.

My entire family could get kidnapped by Islamic extremists and I wouldn't miss this draft.

Savagery on yourself, nice.

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

My entire family could get kidnapped by Islamic extremists and I wouldn't miss this draft.

Never negotiate with terrorists.

 

[Filip Chytil]

Isn't a BAC of 115% unhealthy?

It could always be worse, at least that's what I tell myself

I think it's safe to assume that they've explored all avenues. He's an important player for the team so I doubt they made an uninformed decision.

 

[GAGLine]

Whoa whoa, Newfie shots fired.

I was stationed in Newfoundland back in 93-94. I spent many a drunken night in St. John's drinking shots of Screech.

Boom.

Didn’t know chiapet was still there lol

 

[bobbop]

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

The Rangers are getting a comp pick for Hugh Jessiman

You don't get a prize for sticking your hand in a snowblower.

 

[bobbop]

The world will end at 11 PM tonight. 10:30 in Newfoundland

 

[Maximus]

Happy Kappo Kakko day my Ranger brothers. Big night for us maybe the biggest draft night since Brian Leetch was drafted back in 1986.

Funny, I remember that '86 draft and though I don't recall it on TV, when my buds and I found out we got Leetch at #9, we all felt we just got the steal of the draft. And what do you know...it ended up being the steal of the draft.

Tonight, we get the best player in the draft and just a hunch but a few decades from now, Kakko will be spoken in the same sentence as Leetch when it comes to be the greatest home grown Rangers ever. Can't wait to see him in a Ranger unie.

They eat a lot of Seal pie.

Lived here my whole life. Eaten seal 0 times. But, yeah I get it.

 

[Thirty One]

Maybe not when you grew up but they give out ribbons for everything now.

 

[Bob Richards]

Locking out a year early

Sure...

Such an awful liquid. But yeah, it'll mess you up.
