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

[FatTugboatFlahr]

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

Why the f*** are we saying things like that lol.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

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

@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.

Trading down outside the top 10 to select Ohgren and a higher ceiling player like Lambert/Ostlund just seems too smart, unfortunately. It's hard for me to imagine Ohgren not providing anything Gauthier does, probably more, at a fraction of the draft cost. He could realistically be a versatile glue guy on a top 6 line. But he's not a "center." Ostlund and Lambert are, but don't worry about that part.

Prepare for JVR+5th overall and 69 for ahl level 4th line player and be surprised when they throw in Zamula.

 

[Butch26]

He also confirm that Jiricek and Nemec is among the 6 player, so don't expect Korchinski

 

[Fight4yourRight]

Literally me each time I tune in and see rumours like Philly attaching the 5th to JVR.

Jiricek skates like Wile E. Coyote. What the **** am I watching?

(It kinda works when he's only taking two strides directly forward. Fair is fair.)

What was all that I’m not watching tape talk?

Almost time to be heart broken boys, remember I still have the black robes and bleached kool-aid

JVR has more value at $7M than Ghost did with 2 years at $4.5M
JVR has scored at a 20+ goal rate his entire career, he's an instant upgrade to a PP needing a net front goal scorer, and useful 5x5 if you shelter him (i.e. like Hartnell).
Ghost was coming off 3 seasons with multiple injuries and subpar performances.

The idea it would take #5 for someone to take his contract just shows how laughable some of these takes are.

With one year left, you could retain a couple million, take a veteran contract back or throw in maybe a 3rd rd pick for someone to take the contract (b/c a bad team could count on moving him at the TDL with half retained for more assets).

 

[BigToe]

Lmk when.

I'm weak. I don't want to for months on end, then I find one guy I like and I can't stop. It's kind of like this.

Jeff Marek talking about the Flyers considering it on Sportsnet is considered “laughable” just shows me how far your head is in the sand regarding this organization. That isn’t some random Flyers Twitter head.

That’s not me saying that it’s likely to happen but it is a possibility knowing how this organization operates. That should scare you.

The Flyers will still end up with Gauthier somehow.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

@GKJ are you doing threads this year?

 

[GKJ]

Buccigross has now mentioned Jamiroquai more than once today

Pronman's mock with Gauthier 5, but Cooley and Wright going 3/4. So a shit outcome and Pronman being right. Does this qualify as worst case scenario @Hollywood Cannon?
