GDT: 2021 NHL Entry Draft (AKA Christmas Day): Round One | 8 pm ET | ESPN2, SN, SN NOW, TVAS

[WinterLion]

Fucale isn't in the same tier as Wallstedt's jock.

Were you even born when Fucale was picked?

 

[Boardish]

I feel like this draft is the closest to Mckenzie's list in recent memories. Not a lot of reaches, the only one being Boucher.

Is it because of limited viewings?

 

[Boardish]

Talking about terrible GM here is David Poile

He looks like a retired accountant.

 

[ArtPeur]

When I was your age, drafts had 21 picks in a round.

When @OldCraig71 had my age, it was still the Original 6 playing only.

 

[Stive Morgan]

I haven’t followed the draft too much this year. Who would you guys be targeting for Montreal here? 13 picks away.

Wallstedt
Lambos
Stankoven
Ceulemans
Chibrikov
Räty
Samoskevich

 

[Schooner Guy]

Only 2 OHL guys 20 picks in, must be a new record.

Yup. The result of no season. We should take 8 OHL players with our 8 picks in the first 4 rounds. You know some of these kids will break out big time.

 

[TT1]

Who are we rooting for to drop? Wallstedt? Thoughts on Lysell and Raty?

 

[OldCraig71]

Sam Constantino seems to be buzzed on something.

 

[yianik]

At least Cole seemed really enthusiastic last year.

I know. Clearly genuine.

 

[Gravity]

Were you even born when Fucale was picked?

Given my age, yes. The major concern about Fucale was that he was getting carried by a powerhouse in Halifax. Wallstedt is far better.

 

[SOLR]

I don't know Nashville's goalie prospect depth. Maybe they take the goalie.

They have Askarov, last year’s best g prospect. They were never going to take a goalie, a Russian was likely to surround Askarov.

Nikita.....Chibrikov

I think Raty is worth a chance and see if this year was an anomaly

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

When I was your age, drafts had 21 picks in a round.

...and 9 Rounds...

 

[ZUKI]

Anybody noticing how unenthusiastically the American kids are reacting to being picked by Canadian teams ?

It's because they don't know where Canada is

 

[sandviper]

Who are we rooting for to drop? Wallstedt? Thoughts on Lysell and Raty?

Wallstedt for me.

I used to be high on Raty but he regressed like mad this past season. Really concerning but I expect him to be gone before we pick.

 

[Schooner Guy]

I feel like this draft is the closest to Mckenzie's list in recent memories. Not a lot of reaches, the only one being Boucher.

Is it because of limited viewings?

It's still early in the draft. Everyone in the world knew the top 9. We just didn't know the order they'd go in. There will likely be some slightly off the board picks in the 20s.

 

[Boardish]

Given my age, yes. The major concern about Fucale was that he was getting carried by a powerhouse in Halifax. Wallstedt is far better.

He wasn't a big goaltender too. I think he was around 6'1'' when he was drafted.

 

[Treb]

I haven’t followed the draft too much this year. Who would you guys be targeting for Montreal here? 13 picks away.

Wallstedt
Lambos
Lysell
Bourgault
Robertsson
L'Heureux
Chibrikov
Ceulemans
Sasmoskevich
Stankoven
Pinelli
Raty

 

[MarkJ]

They traded the pick.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Must really like this player

 

[Kojo]

Bergie better be on the phone right now.

 

[Monsieur Miz]

Ken Holland is a f***ing idiot.

 

[Adam Michaels]

 

[MarkJ]

Do Minny need the goalie?
