GDT: 2020 NHL Entry Draft

[Edge]

So the 6 defenseman in the Rangers top 20 were Sanderson, Drysdale, Guhle, Schneider, Grans and O'Rourke.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Ducks I think are doing great too.

they definitely have the sex appeal with their picks. The lack high end skill so it makes sense for them.

 

[Savant]

If I were to make an assumption, Nils would be would be a definitive ask from the BUF delegation. Although you wonder if this draft changes things. The BUF delegation was surprised at some point.

What do you mean surprised?

I was surprised when they took Quinn over Rossi. Woof

Where'd they have Guhle ranked?

 

[Joey Bones]

Brisson to Vegas...

The other thing here....this is really not a great Dman year

 

[Richard Banger]

Man this first round feels like it’s taking forever.

 

[Avery16]

Mysak, Marat K, Bourque, Brisson. Centers to be had...will at team please give us a second round pick for Ryan Strome!?!?

Sounds like TB saying Johnson available for a 1st.

 

[Kovalev27]

The one thing that bothered me about Lapierre and it wasn’t the injuries. He doesn’t score any goals. Just doesn’t

One ahead of Schneider.

Wow, Grans that high?

 

[NYRangers0723]

I’m good. I’m going to watch some highlights after and see if I want to change my mind.

. He is nothing like Mcilrath. Mcilrath was basically just an enforcer/crease clearing d man . Was it a dumb pick? Absolutely I hated it then and now. It was done mostly for Hank. They thought he could adapt well they swung and missed. But this kid has a lot better skill and is quicker

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Brisson to Vegas...

Boooo

 

[Minmonster]

Mysak, Marat K, Bourque. Centers to be had...will at team please give us a second round pick for Ryan Strome!?!?

None of the above will be anywhere close to being ready for 3 years. We may need strome for another year.

 

[mas0764]

Suddenly Lundkvist became a realistic piece there.

Hate

 

[H00fHearted]

Honestly, they have some size upside on their backend now. Not only size, but they can move around the ice, too.

Trouba (6-2, 203)
Robertson (6-4)
Miller (6-5)
Schneider (6-2, 203)

It's almost as if that was their plan.

If not trading up means we would have taken grans or o’rourke im glad we did

 

[Joey Bones]

It hasn't been mentioned not that I saw, but Perreault went to Anaheim at No. 27...

 

[Edge]

I think there are less of them, but that doesn't necessarily mean the few that are ranked higher are bad players.

I think sometimes we combine those two concepts.

You think the Rangers would see the value as too great and try to trade up for one of the latter two?

 

[Hitch16]

@Edge just want to send a quick word of thanks for giving us what you can.

 

[gravey9]

Schneider was a kid we projected to go 15th to Toronto.

ISS had him 13th, McKenzie had him at 17, McKeen's had him at 15, Rangers had him at 12, the Board Mock also had him at 15.

I do think we need to keep that in perspective a bit.

I just watched some more highlights. I'm officially excited. To all the people who are disappointed, think about the pick this way...

When John Davidson was the Pres of the Blues -- what kind of team did they build? How big is that D corp now? Parayko, PietroAngelo...

When JD was Pres of the CBJ -- what kind of team did they build? Big boy hockey.

That is what this kid is. He's not some slow-footed kid. He played for Team Canada multiple years.

He's great at shutting down zone entries and rubbing plays out along the boards kinda like K'Andre, but he's not really being drafted as a raw talent. He's already the guy you want out there on the PK and in the final two minutes of the game.

I'd much rather take a kid like this late in the first round than a kid who is top 6 or bust when we have so much talent up front already. (I know we still need a 2C for next year. But we have plenty of depth in other positions to start figuring that out).

I think they want a second round pick for a forward.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

I've heard Greig sucks

That would’ve been the McIlrath esque pick if we made it at 19 lol

A 28 he’s ok
