GDT: 2021 NHL Draft

[EpicDing]

Soucy for a 3rd would be cool

 

[Dr. Ogrodnick]

I like the pick. The overall forward depth in the system is slim.
At least they did not convince themselves into drafting another D

I would have taken a D over a LW, given how we are most likely about to trade some D prospects away.

 

[duhmetreE]

I think they'd love to add a LD.

anything standing out in that front?

 

[duhmetreE]

We want a LHD.... quick... LHD with an edge? go.

 

[LaffyTaffy]

Bbkers said we put an offer for soucy but if that doesnt work out im sure we can address it in FA

 

[HFsNumber1Heel]

10-4.

So we may be on the goal line of adding a familiar face to Gallant.

There is little chance the Rangers stay pat with those five picks in Rounds 3-4.

Betters odds for than against right now.

If Strome is traded and the Eichel thing goes nowhere, do you think the team will go into the season with Zib/Chytil as the top two centers, or will they go after someone like Danault, Larkin, or Dvorak? How linked are the "moving Strome" and "acquiring Eichel" moves?

 

[RGY]

Another trade back

Krecji/Bonino/Getzlaf/Danault/Bellemare/etc.

 

[egelband]

Othmann?? Nothing like Lias.

I posted that before the pick… I know nothing about any of these kids, really.

 

[Dr. Ogrodnick]

The Rangers started the day with too many wingers, traded one away and ended up with 2 more.

 

[Priorae]

Brian Boucher has nice teeth. I bet it was because he's a goalie.

 

[Savant]

In your opinion which last time I checked isn't fact. How do you know they didn't have to give Goodrow that contract to sign a much needed versatile player. Were you part of the negotiations? Players are getting paid on the open market even in a flat cap world. They can't have both Blais and Goodrow? Why? Everybody complained they weren't tough enough to play against. Now they just may be. Blais is not a bad player and him plus a 2022 2nd is equal to a late 1st IMO. Again slightly less than what I expected but Im not going to throw chairs over anything that happened today.

When did I say my opinion was fact?

I keep trying to answer the rest but the board keeps crashing. If you @ me tomorrow I will tell you how you completely missed the point.

I liked the Goodrow move at the time and I didn’t have a problem with the contract at the time. That changed with the Buchnevich trade though.

If salary cap space is at such a premium why commit six years on a tough bottom six winger with a Stanley cup, if you are trading for a tough bottom six winger with a Stanley cup. No, it’s not a perfect comparison but You can do one of the other (or you can do neither). You can get tougher without trading 1st liners for 4th liners and you can get tougher without committing six years.

A 2022 2nd and Blais is not equal to a late 1st. No f’n way. I am not having that.

Wasn't Duclair a big deal in his D-1, then he dropped to the third round after a lousy draft year? He turned out fine. I'm sure most of those guys disappear though.

Duclair's biggest issue was Patrick Roy: How Did Duclair Fall To The Rangers in 2013?

 

[Priorae]

I feel better about the rangers pick than the devils pick. I wouldn't trade our pick for their pick right now and I mean it.

Lots of movable parts 3-20.

 

[rangers1314]

I love that JP Morosi is one of the best MLB reporters, but his true sport is Hockey.

 

[EdJovanovski]

We were dreading Tyler Boucher and ended up with this guy LOL I wish we got Boucher now
Drury is worse than Dim Jim

 

[egelband]

For Wilson

Yeah. Then we’re gonna go out and sign Kermit Washington, Bill Belichick, Ivan Drago, Todd Bertuzzi, and Tonya Harding.

 

[rangers1314]

LOL David Soil

 

[NYR94]

David Stoile

 

[Lays]

The Rangers started the day with too many wingers, traded one away and ended up with 2 more.

all LHS too. Gotta love it

 

[egelband]

You are dismissive of any legitimate counterpoint because it doesn't fit your opinion.

This is the modern way!

 

[Priorae]

They are reaching now..."diet version of Brad Marchand".

 

[will1066]

Yeah. Then we’re gonna go out and sign Kermit Washington, Bill Belichick, Ivan Drago, Todd Bertuzzi, and Tonya Harding.

lol

 

[Kords]

Gorts really is a great hockey mind, really like the way he's handled himself on this panel. Hope to see more of him honestly.
