GDT: 2022 NHL Draft - Boots down in hostile territory

[Cosmix]

Ottawa takes famous Canadian jazz piano player 72 overall

Yeah! We already have a statue of him in downtown Ottawa!

 

[Gil Gunderson]

We just drafted guys ranked in the 100's and 200's at 64 and 72. I get they watch these guys more, but at some point it gets ridiculous no?

Oskar Pettersson at eliteprospects.com

Good size, decent numbers. Don't know much more about him, but seems promising

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Wowowowowo Oskar Peterson

 

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah! We already have a statue of him in downtown Ottawa!

Saves us some cash when he carries us to our first Stanley cup

It's what we do man.

This whole "Ottawa is great at drafting" thing has been overstated for a long time.

It might have had some credence 10 years ago!

Lets not pretend draft rankings by independant sources are extremely accurate and "right". These scouts for independent services are mostly guys the NHL teams don't want scouting for them.

 

[Big Muddy]

I wanted to get Firkus although I really doubted he'd be available by the time we picked.

 

[PostBradMalone]

Pettersson is a good pick for you guys.

Continuing the tradition from last year of drafting "Who?"

 

[Ice-Tray]

And here we go again with trashing the picks seconds after because they don’t align with scouting agencies….

Clockwork!

Totally. I'm just saying we see a decent amount of these "contrarian" picks and we also see a penchant for big D-men that historically has boned us.

Other teams draft more in line with those lists than the Sens. If we're going to take these guys, is trading down not an option? It just seems like such a waste of decent draft picks.

No teams are great at drafting man.

Maybe some teams are better at drafting in line with a list you saw? But that’s about it. Most of these guy will
Not be good nhlers

And like clockwork here you are to whine about the whiners

If you pay $10 dollars for a stock that is trading at $5 that doesn't guarantee that you won't make money on the transaction.

Still an overpayment, alas.

Because the picks last year really proved us wrong huh?

Pronman had him 76th in his mock draft. I am sure there are many people who had him in this range... we know of at least 2, and Pronman is pretty plugged in.

Clockwork!

Is it just me or does this "tradition" get old fast. Let the guys play and develop. We as fans haven't watched many of these players.

It’s time to jug up dude, plastic bags are so done!

 

[Dan Patrick]

I'm here to whine about whiners whining the whiners whining the whiners

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo

That's what was said last year and our 2021 picks all look bad.

Tho I don't mind our picks this year.
