GDT: 2020 NHL Entry Draft - Day 2

[Cmox]

I’m actually suprised they got a 2nd round pick for Anderson

Strome must feel like kaka. But lias dad does work for the kings..

Say what you want, trading a 7th overall pick for a 60th pick in a couple short years just plain stinks and is bad asset management.

being a 7th overall pick has nothing to do with this trade. picking him in that spot makes him a crappy draft pick it doesn't give him more trade value

 

[RGY]

But trading Strome for this would have been good??

I have said trading Strome for (2) 2nds would have been. I dont know where I said trade Strome for a late 2nd. But ok.

EP's writeup on Cuylle :

"Cuylle is one of the most naturally gifted one-touch scorers in this year's draft. Put the puck on his stick, and he'll do the rest. Cuylle is a technically gifted shooter. He's got so much upper-body strength on that 6-foot-2, 201-pound frame of his, and he puts it to good use generating quick-release wrist shots explode off his stick's blade."

 

[Chytilmania]

We got extra draft capital for a guy who was likely never coming back. It was handled poorly in the beginning, but this was the best outcome going forward.

 

[Off Sides]

I just won my dollar bet with Mortimer that the Rangers were going to corner the market on LWs and RDs

 

[Anthony5967]

For those who wanted a kid with jam, who can blend with elite talent, this is your potential candidate right here.

He's not going to drive a line, but he's skilled enough that he can convert the chances he's given when paired with high IQ players.

And I think that's why the NYR grabbed him where they did. NYR have a lot of high-IQ guys now. He can easily ride passenger on a line while somebody else controls the shift!

Coolio without the o

Cuylle-o

Cuylle

I think

It's like Rosetta Stone but with rappers.

Sounds like the Gunler after the Gunler

Champagne CUYLLE

I don't know what this means, I mix cheap white wine with Mountain Dew.

Not directed just at you, everyone wanted Strome for a 2nd but will complain about a guy who was never coming back getting a 2nd.

 

[Casper The Soy Ghost]

Agreed. But the kid has no wheels and is way too entitled/weak mentally.

It is what it is, it sucks but... yeah.

 

[NYRangers0723]

Good Pick. It’s sad how this ended for Lias but there were mistakes on both sides. He has big issues with maturity and The Rangers obviously misjudge Gus mental issues.

 

[Ghost of jas]

Rangers select WILL CUYLLE

@jas

AW YEAH!!!

 

[AB13]

We have been pretty consistent with our drafting strategy for a long time. I just hope we haven’t changed strategy as some kind of knee jerk reaction to one PO series.

Yeah, I really hate the Schneider and Cuylle picks after making great picks for high upside, skillfull, high IQ players from all over the globe in 2018 and 2019. Afraid that we are going in a worrying direction after trading up twice to take two big physical low skill players.

Lias Andersson is a much better player up have goingh forward than Will Cuylle.

I’m actually suprised they got a 2nd round pick for Anderson

so Strome is worth a 1st next year right

Not when the player turns the team down later on. What were the Rangers supposed to do? Lias gets what he wants to prove himself on a different team. The Rangers get a good prospect in Cuylle.

It was already a shit situation. It would've been bad asset management had Lias continued to try to make the Rangers.

 

[Savant]

30 picks to go

 

[Machinehead]

Leafs going Finnish

 

[NYRangers0723]

The Kings have always liked Lias. He was rumored to be their pick in 2017

 

[Joey Bones]

Yeah I mean I think those people were nuts. The kid isnt a completely diminished asset. And has been playing well.

But it is done.

I saw some people liked Cuylle before the draft. LW though. Is he absolutely projected as a LW?

Yeah, straight forward wing...

 

[apoptygma]

Getting a player taht can both keep up with the elite talent if putting on a top line and also be a effective grinder if put on the bottom line would be great. Becomming a 15-20 goal scorer that can slide up and down the line-up and provide some physical precense would be great.

 

[Kovalev27]

I am shocked we got a 2nd rounder for Lias Andersson. Shocked. Good riddance sometimes you just completely swing and miss

 

[Savant]

Leafs going Finnish
