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

[Fire Tortorella]

OK, what time does this shit actually start?

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Buccigross has now mentioned Jamiroquai more than once today

 

[GKJ]

I do like Jamiroquai though

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

There she is!

 

[GKJ]

@GKJ are you doing threads this year?

Yeah I can, I should be home soon enough tomorrow as well since we don't have a 2nd

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

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?

I can ALWAYS come up with worse case scenarios when it comes to this organization and strangely enough they’re plausible.

What's the play on what channel to watch the draft? Don't think I can stand Buccigross and while I find Pierre hilarious I don't know who the rest of the scrubs are on the SN feed.

It takes time for the girlfriends/sisters to get into the family section for the 90% of horned out male viewers to react like they just got out of prison and are at a strip club.

@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.

I have him at 16. I like him. He’s one of the guys where I’m not so sure on what his ceiling is. I don’t think he’s gonna put up huge points, but 50-55 is my guess. I think that whole Sweden line ends up as top 6 guys similar to the German line a couple years ago.

But what are the odds the 5th overall pick is better than DeBrincat?

Fans have no concept of cost controlled years. Hit on the pick and that guy could be playing and contributing in the top half of your lineup as soon as next season and you get them for a reasonable cap hit for the next ~7 years and for most of their prime years.

Fans? The Flyers have no concept of cost controlled years.

Never forget the Kotkaniemi pick.

Bill Meltzer reports: Seattle Kraken Eyeing Former Flyers Head Coach Alain Vigneault For Hakstol Replacement.

Did Honk get fired ??

 

[Chinatown88]

Penis head is on Sportsnet now? Wow I've missed a lot by not watching anything related to rubber puck.

 

[Beef Invictus]

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.

Did you know Rosen was not the only available player at that spot?

 

[DancingPanther]

Lmk when.

Cousin is over rn for dinner, I'll mention you and we'll get it f***in rollin. 10 min? 15?

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I hate him more than Bernie hates the Antichrist. I'm dead serious.

 

[Chinatown88]

MY EARSSSSSSSS MY FOUR YEARS OF LEARNING FRENCH HAD BETTER PRONUNCIATION THAN THAT.

 

[BrindamoursNose]

Bettman has had it

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Go Gar Go!

 

[Tarpongg]

The Flyers will still end up with Gauthier somehow.

This is the most likely outcome- someone marquee name drops but the “brain trust” is fixated on their guy.

"I'm not sure why you are booing that, it is your city...but seriously," Contact Dr. Scholls for dental products because that is foot-in-mouth.

Sounds good, Danceguy.

 

[Soup Enthusiast]

this is incredibly awkward

 

[Hurricane28]

Expected better booing from the Montreal crowd
