GDT: 2021 NHL Draft

[DutchShamrock]

I do, as a matter of fact.

"If there’s a drawback to Othmann, it’s in terms of his skating. We won’t attempt to sugar coat it; Brennan has the worst skating mechanics out of any of the top end players featured in this class." - Hockey Prospect Black Book, 2021. Page 302, paragraph 3.

My bar was "draft the goalie" because maybe we don't need prospects for 6 years. And I was disappointed by the front office picking a position that is LOGJAMMED when they just demonstrated that they don't know how to trade an extra wing.

 

[Edge]

@Edge is there any news on why we selected Othmann over any of the available centers?

Rangers liked the speed, shooting instinct and projectability.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Lmfao we really just picked the forward version of McIllrath why can't any of my teams have something nice

What the f*** are some of you people smoking

Our need for a center doesn't factor in. In this draft, in this range, these are probably 4+ year projects.

But we need 4+ year centers since we are obviously going to have no choice but to re-sign Zibanejad and then have him decline in about 4 years.

Now I want some bacon…

It's a good point. This wasn't top 5OA.

 

[Filip Chytil]

Who's Patrick Bacon?

Some guy who eats a lot of bacon and probably has cholesterol problems.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Whatever I guess

Now we wait to see what these “further moves” are that people were talking about after the Buchnevich deal

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Rangers liked the speed, shooting instinct and projectability.

Let's be honest, here. They also love his work ethic. One of the hardest working players in the draft. If he's around with Gallant, I can see that working very well.

 

[Circus86]

Imagine getting the first from St. Louis for Buch and drafting Lucius and Svechkov/Wallstedt

 

[Tob]

Just need Lafreniere to develop into a 200 point center next season. Not concerned at all.

 

[bl02]

Rangers liked the speed, shooting instinct and projectability.

is he really considered fast?

 

[Hunter Gathers]

How about his speed?

Average skating. Only real weak spot.

 

[NYR]

Fair enough, he didn't answer the question like a little B*tch. He did the job he's there to do professionally.

It's nothing personal, eh, actually maybe it is.
He's set this team back years..

 

[New York RKY]

Rangers liked the speed, shooting instinct and projectability.

Hopefully you can eventually tell us the other one that was still around in their top 10.

 

[Rangers in 7]

Our need for a center doesn't factor in. In this draft, in this range, these are probably 4+ year projects.

Excellent post and perfectly summed up how I’m feeling. I’m fine with this pick

 

[Fvital92]

He seems a fine prospect, but with our lack of center deph in the prospect pool combined with the Buch trade... this day sucked.

 

[Savant]

Yet TSN had him at 16. But lets trust his guy.

The data definitely tells a story and The Rangers front office certainly does not deserve the benefit of the doubt.

 

[EpicDing]

HFNYR needs to be shut down for a day or two. Take a f***ing breath people.

 

[Machinehead]

The people on this board who hate skill the most are the angriest about recent acquisitions lacking skill. It's a "hate the Rangers" cult.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

is he really considered fast?

No, but he's been working with power skating trainers on it since his season ended so there may be something we haven't seen on tape, yet.

 

[EdJovanovski]

I do, as a matter of fact.

"If there’s a drawback to Othmann, it’s in terms of his skating. We won’t attempt to sugar coat it; Brennan has the worst skating mechanics out of any of the top end players featured in this class." - Hockey Prospect Black Book, 2021. Page 302, paragraph 3.

He’ll fit right in! God Drury is a moron

 

[EpicDing]

The data definitely tells a story and The Rangers front office certainly does not deserve the benefit of the doubt.

The data that solely looks at points of a 17 year old in a men's league? That data?

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

I would have liked to see someone who can just fly, because that's what the forward group is missing, but fair enough if Lysell has huge character concerns.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Im sure he'll be a good player but ive been begging this organization to address center depth and there was 2 sitting there, this will catch up to us down the road when Laf, Kakko etc have their contracts and we're out trying to trade for bargain bin centers to fill out the roster.

 

[Platano King]

What the f*** are some of you people smoking

A lot of weed. How else am I supposed to deal with this stupid ass team?
