GDT: 2020 NHL Entry Draft - Day 2

[Fvital92]

I'm more worried about Ottawa at some point.

They figure to be tough.

When they start to contend they will start to make stupid trades because Melnyk is a cheap idiot. I'm not worried.

Rangers turned Skjei into Schneider
Blackhawks turned Lehner into Commesso

Interesting

Skjei got taken in a similar spot I believe. Who was the better prospect at the time of the draft? Skjei all things considered was a good pick for us.

 

[Mikos87]

MTL gets a guy who is going to play in the NHL. Alex was an animal for Vegas in the playoffs.

 

[Savant]

Was not a Tuch fan

Skjei was good value for where he was taken. Took him 4 years to crack the NHL roster though. I see a similar trajectory for Schneider, maybe 3.5 years

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Just got here. Are we hearing anything about the Rangers? Trading up or whatever?

 

[Joey Bones]

lolol... Mysak to Montreal.

 

[Off Sides]

Why trade for him when you can get him for free and not give a draft asset?

Whoever wanted Strome is not just going to just get him, nor get him for free. If he hits UFA they'd have to bid and probably beat other bids and they would not know if he even would consider signing with their team.

 

[Thirty One]

My biggest question is where do these hats come from?

And where do they send the other 30 hats?

 

[bl02]

f***ing Montreal. f*** damn it damn it

Zip...

 

[Matt Rentfree]

And where do they send the other 30 hats?

The Island of Misfit Hats.

 

[NYR Viper]

I've said this before but I would almost prefer more picks next year as it spaces out some of the prospects

 

[Savant]

Wasnt a pick Mysak fan but at 48 that’s great value

 

[Edge]

Skjei was good value for where he was taken. Took him 4 years to crack the NHL roster though. I see a similar trajectory for Schneider, maybe 3.5 years

I dunno, if I had to guess, I think you might be looking at closer to 2 or 2.5.

I'd compare his trajectory a little closer to someone like Lindgren.

He'll likely play in the AHL next season, and possibly get a look as soon as 2022. This is a kid who is fairly far along on his path.

 

[LaffyTaffy]

With Mysak gone I no longer care too much about trading up. It is concerning to let Strome walk for free though.

Next year's draft is significantly worse than this year...

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

And where do they send the other 30 hats?

Africa, together with the 49ers Super Bowl champions t-shirts from February

 

[Savant]

Whoever wanted Strome is not just going to just get him, nor get him for free. If he hits UFA they'd have to bid and probably beat other bids and they would not know if he even would consider signing with their team.

Yeah but they wouldn’t have to give up a draft pick. That’s clearly more important

 

[Joey Bones]

Kuznetsov to CAL...

 

[n8]

adios Mysak

 

[Mikos87]

Very good pick for CGY. Came out of no where early in the year.

 

[Joey Bones]

Gotta think Detroit snags a goalie with one of these 2nds...

Calle Clang? Would be something if they go with a Swede 3 times in a row

 

[Joey Bones]

Detroit gets Niederbach. f***!! Get the Red Wings out of Sweden!!
