GDT: 2020 NHL Entry Draft - Day 2

[Tob]

I have gone through all 7 stages of grief. I like the pick. Hey, why not right? Who knows what this might turn into.

 

[Thirty One]

I'm all about picking goalies in the mid-late rounds. Hope they snag another.

 

[One Winged Angel]

At work... was Nybeck, Tullio or Biondi still available?

 

[Ghost of jas]

Okay. That is one good example. What about the Halversons and Lindboms of the world? Henrik was a 7th. Talbot and Georgiev were undrafted. It’s not a value position.

Never take a goalie before round 4. A very simple but smart rule to live by.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Okay. That is one good example. What about the Halversons and Lindboms of the world? Henrik was a 7th. Talbot and Georgiev were undrafted. It’s not a value position.

Yes the bad ones are a waste and the good ones aren’t. Great observation

 

[EdJovanovski]

my ex-hairdresser was from the Island.

I see why she’s an ex

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

I could see 3 goalies in round 7

 

[Hire Sather]

We use a lot of picks on goalies.

 

[Savant]

At work... was Nybeck, Tullio or Biondi still available?

All of the above

 

[Thirty One]

my ex-hairdresser was from the Island.

How is Fat Jen?

 

[LeetchisGod]

Okay. That is one good example. What about the Halversons and Lindboms of the world? Henrik was a 7th. Talbot and Georgiev were undrafted. It’s not a value position.

Don't forget Lafleur. Another wasted pick.

 

[Savant]

Yes the bad ones are a waste and the good ones aren’t. Great observation

No. It’s just not good value. There is a difference

 

[EdJovanovski]

Do you know him?

Think he was the guy giving out free samples of onion rings at Costco

 

[Joey Bones]

Ooooo Nickl is a good pick by Anaheim!!

 

[Priorae]

At work... was Nybeck, Tullio or Biondi still available?

Certainly all three were way overrated by just about everyone other than the teams.

 

[Joey Bones]

At work... was Nybeck, Tullio or Biondi still available?

Yes

 

[Mikos87]

They're taking driven high character kids who will do what it takes to win. This is an identity defining draft.

 

[Thirty One]

Think he was the guy giving out free samples of onion rings at Costco

Sounds like a character guy.

 

[Machinehead]

If I were an NHL GM, I'd go my entire career without drafting a single goaltender.

 

[Tob]

How is Fat Jen?

She repatriated back to the Island. Unfortunately my only ties with her was at the salon.

 

[Ghost of jas]

Don't forget Lafleur. Another wasted pick.

What did Lafleur, Halverson and Lindbom all have in common? They were taken in round 2. DO NOT TAKE A GOALIE BEFORE THE 4TH ROUND!

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

No. It’s just not good value. There is a difference

You said it was a waste, soooo

 

[Joey Bones]

Run on goalies now. Akhtyamov to Toronto and Bednar to Detroit

 

[NYR94]

Friedman looks so much younger without the quarantine beard.

 

[CommaSynapse]

Quick little run on goalies. I think Skotnikov could be a good value pick later in the draft. I saw a game highlight or two where he actually tripped passing players. Getting tougher should apply to all positions.

Still, I'd like to see a center, especially when a player like Tullio was still on the board.
