Pre-Game Talk: 2022 NHL Draft Mega Thread: All Draft Talk Goes Here!

Geekie has potential, but he’s slow as molasses. Very well could be a fatal flaw. I wouldn’t touch him in the first 18 or so picks.

So was Getzlaf.

IMPORTANT QUESTION!

I don't have the cable in my appartment and usually catch the games through "some free online streams". I Really want to see the draft and I'm willing to pay for some streaming service from an official online tv broadcast. (I'm assuming the draft won't be streamed from my usual sources)

I want to know what are the different broadcast to show the draft live and which one has the best deal? Ideally just a 3-day or 1-week cheap deal.

I already looked at tva sports and the cheapest deal is a 1-month deal at 19.99$ CA

Important to know I live in Montreal and therefore may not have access to every online broadcast.

Thanks in advance for all your resourceful answers!

Cheers!

Who’s your internet service provider? I know Bell offers TSN for 1 day for like 7 bucks with the Fibe app.

I’m actually between places myself. Have bell at my new place but no tv lol

Have TV at my old place but no cable

So was Getzlaf.

For every Getzlaf there are many more Logan Browns

We can afford to take a gamble with our 2nd pick.

Ya if he fell to 26 he’d be worth it. But wouldn’t target him via trade up.

But the 2 minute highlight video

One of these days I'll learn my lesson with big centers that have skating deficiencies.

...but it is not today.

Tried as I could but could not find the ''doesn't matter'' option. Upon extrapolation of the manic synopsis it seems rather insignificant as whomever is selected is not an elite dynamic player. Much more significant will be the subsequent moves thereafter following.

Translation: Lavoie saying Wright had a terrible year. He put up 94 pts in 63 GP. If that is a terrible year, I'd take him.

My thoughts exactly.

Such a bad take from Lavoie. No context whatsoever (whole season missed last year) and some vague arbitrary standard of a generational player D-season. Oh Wright didn't reach it? Sorry Shane, you're not in the conversation for 1OA anymore lmao.

Amateur hour take. Again, there are reasonable causes for concern about Wright, but labeling his season "terrible" and gross hyperbole such as "falling out of his chair if he's selected 1OA" are stretches for the ages. Dear god

I don't give a f*** about points.

McCarron doesn't have Geekie's skills.

How many points did Getzlaf have in junior?

The point of big centers like him is if they make it, they can play against other top centers more easily. So they score less points than mini wizards but they can actually play when Mark Messier comes in front of them in the Conference final.

That said, I am not saying Wright couldn't. You can pick both Wright and Geekie too for all I care. It's not the same pick.

Yeah, like noted big centers on recent cup winners:
MacKinnon
Kadri
Point
Stamkos

 

[Runner77]

Take Lamoureux, as well. And you will have all the towers of the draft.

Who’s going to pay “a good young player” just for the dubious privilege of drafting someone in a weak draft class? Might as well keep the player you already know is “good.”

Oh boy lmao it would be a mistake to pick Gauthier at 3, Cooley at FIVE? After Gauthier?

Sign me up for this!

What's up with the whiteout logos though?

The way it’s going, there won’t be much to chew on trade-wise, before the draft begins. Maybe they’re all wary of who might be slipping and want a clearer idea of what they might be giving up.

Assume we draft Wright this year, then BPA next year is also a Centre. Odds are Suzuki just goes back to right wing no?

He can play both and would provide great depth incase of injuries.

one more sleep all.

the heat should going get turned up!!

Moving Suzuki off center would be nuts.

I don’t think a better center than him will be had next year. Even Bedard and Fantili probably end up at wing. Bedard can be pure offense ala prime Kane, while Fantili can be the Slaf some here want but with better wheels. Suzuki/Wright is a center duo you build around.

Exactly why I didn’t vote. I’m more interested in the deals Hughes concludes. I’d love to see the 1OA traded.

 

[MON4NHLTOR4MLB]

Better view. Slafkovsky is an absolute monster.

So was McCarronn and how did that turn out?

They'd probably play Wright at 3C.
