GDT: 2022 NHL Draft (And Trade Rumors) - Montreal - July 7 - July 8

[Hollywood Cannon]

Can’t see it though if DeBrincat just went for maybe similar value in this draft. You aren’t paying that for cap space. I could see a 2nd if we had it.

Oh, honey… have you ever heard of Good Guy Chuck Fletcher?

 

[Kelmitchell2]

Holy Christ Marek on SN suggesting the Flyers will attach 5th overall to JVR to gain space for Gaudreau.

Tonight is my last night being a Flyers fan if that happens.

Well what pick will we recieve? 4?

This might be my favorite Bill quote of all time. He can't be serious

Oh, honey… have you ever heard of Good Guy Chuck Fletcher?

The motherf***er has been given a same day draft guide for valuation and we still have to be worried.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

Imagine giving up close to that for a guy with no tricks who you only had control for 1 year.

I get your argument.

That’s why I said a lot is riding on the 5th pick.

I thought last year’s draft was terrible, so 14th overall, I didn’t care too much. Isak Rosen? Come on. I don’t love this year’s draft, but he wouldn’t even be a possibility this year at 5.

So not apples to oranges.

I mean, look at Chychrun’s supposed asking price, & Jiricek could be Chychrun or Seider. Nemec has drawn some comparisons to Josi, & has set eye popping stats. There’s upside with some of these guys that just weren’t there at last year’s 14 pick. My problem is I wish had fewer concerns about guys like Jiricek & Nemec not hitting their upside. Not that they lack upside.

But again. I get your point. And the Flyers need to hit this 5. Or know they’re going to get a guy in UFA this summer who is as good as DeBrincat.

If you’re 90% sure you’re signing Gaudreau or Forsberg, then you don’t trade for DeBrincat.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I think Fletcher’s a moron but why would he trade the 5th overall with JvR on the possibility that Gaudreau might sign when he wouldn’t do it with at least two years guaranteed of DeBrincat?

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I’m not sure that the levels of comedy that would be achieved if they did that and Gaudreau didn’t come here could ever be matched.

Just imagine the slop they’d use that space on.

Even if he DID come here, it could never be matched. And by "here," I mean "there." Although it would be pretty hilarious if he came to the middle of East Buttf***, Egypt for no reason.

I’m getting close to having a @SnS viewpoint of this team. They’re never going to do what needs to be done so we might as well go full send with stupidity and at least bring in some entertaining players.

This thought process is aided by apathy and the Avs winning the Cup.

 

[CerpinTaxt]

Flyer have a 2023 6th round pick?

I f***ing wish Chuck Fletcher was Hawks GM at this point

Trust me you dont

at some point they will have no choice. they will be so bad nobody will want to come here and they will be so bad they will get picks

 

[RANKKA]

anyone from EU that can pm me a link for this?

Yup. I hate them and they are unwatchable. Not sure JG changes that though as he slips to being a 70ish point guy.

He's Kev's friend, so he can f*** right off.

You should see the one where he dismissed getting debrincat and gaudreu because then 6 out of 8 wingers would be 5'10" and under. He then said no professional team has 6 wingers that size and smaller

I told him taparra of Finland has 7 wingers listed that size and under, then told him what he said was the dumbest thing I ever heard

 

[Tripod]

Dorion just said he is going after a D on SN....other teams are up against the cap.

 

[Butch26]

Brière just said at 98,5 FM Quebec that

- They will not trade up
- Only Slaf will play with Philly next year if they pick him
- They Like 6 player
- They want RHD or a Center

 

[FLYguy3911]

Pierre is on Sportsnet now???

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I wonder if Cutter's dad is a mohel. Hopefully Sam will ask.

Nothing like tipping your hand right before the draft. Learning from the best!

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Never forget that the first round of the draft last year was the time that Cap was introduced to Emily Kaplan…

 

[Fight4yourRight]

I f***ing hate this team

 

[JojoTheWhale]

@BigToe Where are we on Ohgren? Strong anticipatory passer even at open ice speeds. Subtle in-zone shiftiness. He moves players to create passing windows via body orientation. He's really good at quickly getting his hips in line to generate power for a counterattack. This is good stuff.

 

[Magua]

Chuck Fletcher is such a basic bitch.
