GDT: 2020 NHL Entry Draft

[Greg02]

Hendrix Lapierre is the type of player that I hope the Rangers pick because my mind has yet to accept that we just drafted Kaapo Kakko and Alexis Lafreniere.

 

[Mikos87]

Waiting for Calgary to keep reading back and the eventually trade the pick to the Rangers for Georgiev

Would be hilarious if they traded picks back to the Rangers to get Georgie.

Waiting for Calgary to keep reading back and the eventually trade the pick to the Rangers for Georgiev

this Round is certainly not over so . . . .

Doubt the rest of this week will be quiet

 

[Savant]

Sounds good to me.

“Looks to push puck to forwards” means he treats it like a hand grenade.

 

[MysticLeviathan]

We'll be fine once Kakko runs over him.

Kakko is not a C

 

[FireGerardGallant]

Pain.

 

[Off Sides]

Washington is awesome at drafting, they literally just take good first rounders pretty much every time without totally overthinking it.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Screwing the Devils does not make this a good pick.

Thats not the reason they did it obviously but it makes me feel better. They had him 12 on their board. I trust them, not the armchair GM's on this board.

People always complain that the Rangers don't take BPA. Well, they just did. As Edge said, they had him 12th and they took him 19th. Now people are complaining that we didn't draft for need lol.

According to who BPA? I would say Lapierre was (by the way who just went to Washington). Anyway, Schneider is a nasty tough dman who was slated for first round so not gonna lose sleep over it.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Tony

Okay, but what about next year? Trouba, Fox, Lundkvist, Schneider. All RDs.

 

[Richard Banger]

A lot of fans put so much emotion into these drafts.

NYR having a fantastic draft so far

 

[Jackpot]

Best wishes to the kid, but that concussion history is hard to ignore

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

3 years ago we thought we were set at C, and look at us now. Everyone's gotta chill.

That's because Lias is busting and Chytil may be more of a W.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

We’ll regret not taking Lapierre

Sure. Whatever. We drafted 1st overall. Eye on the prize.

 

[FireGerardGallant]

If Schneider was a lefty I dont think anyone would have an issue with this pick

but it’s still a very good pick

Basically how I feel

 

[NYSPORTS]

So what? You actually need to be good too. Not saying he isn’t but he is not close, and it’s unlikely he is getting a ton of minutes anyway. This is a McIlrath level pick until proven otherwise. It’s the same thinking. Guy that hits that doesn’t provide offense.

Save the emotion, the team has more than enough offense and needs some defense along with more physical play.

 

[Savant]

Thats not the reason they did it obviously but it makes me feel better. They had him 12 on their board. I trust them, not the armchair GM's on this board.

I do not trust Gordie Clark when he has multiple options.

 

[EpicDing]

That's because Lias is busting and Chytil may be more of a W.

Exactly my point?

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

A lot of fans put so much emotion into these drafts.

I mean they had the #1 overall pick. Good luck not having a fantastic draft after that.

 

[Richard Banger]

Also JESUS f***ING CHRIST PEOPLE!!

Dman can play on their off sides. It’s a thing.

 

[bl02]

Washington is awesome at drafting, they literally just take good first rounders pretty much every time without totally overthinking it.

They definitely don't . McMichael and Lapierre. Could easily be two NYR's.

 

[NYR Viper]

Lol at other teams who eventually have to play against the collective size and reach of:
Trouba
Robertson
Miller
Schneider

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Kakko is not a C

If that's your issue, we'll conjure one, just wait.

 

[MrAlmost]

You're only deep at a position until you're not. Good pick and something we don't have much of, actual defense.

 

[Avery16]

Hendrix sounds like lafontaine by the time we got him.
