GDT: 2022 Upper Deck NHL Draft: Bell Centre, Montreal, QC | ROUND ONE July 7th @ 7 pm ET | ESPN, ESPN+, SN, TVAS: PART 2

[Colezuki]

It’s wright people are just panicking and covering their bets now that they’re seeing odds shifting. This is the first time hockey has had drafts with betting at this level

 

[Whitesnake]

I don't see the Habs taking Hughes. Pretty sure that dad would want to see his kid flourish elsewhere.

 

[Noble]

You know your career is in the shit when you're making songs for skip the dishes commercials.

Time to call it quits Katy Perry

If they're going to pick Slaf, they should've done more to prepare the fans because it will be a sh*t show... If they just made that decision today than it really doesn't look good on HuGo... I'm nervous...

I can't believe they'd be that stupid. That convinces me it will be Wright.

We don‘t need to be prepared lol, we are adults and even the kids here should have been educated to handle this kind of news. We‘ll know in 30 minutes and even though I‘ll be disappointed if they pick Slaf, life is going to go on no need to boo Slaf, just hope he turns out to be a good pick.

 

[River Meadow]

at this point, i'm so burnt from all the speculation i don't care who we take

+1

 

[Justin11]

Can’t wait for the « we have a trade to announce » moment.

 

[BenchBrawl]

Slafkovsky is now the odds on favourite to go first at -140, Wright is officially an underdog. Wow. I feel confident in saying Slaf is going 1st.

Because everyone betting on Slaf due to shitty Wright odds

Wow, ok did I miss something?

Isn't this just because Slafkovsky has had a few big bids placed on him?

 

[HuGo Sham]

...and to continue that thought...i think if they take slaf, it's because there's a deal to move up into the top 15 to take another C. but what the f*** do i know?

Welcome to Montreal! Baptism by fire.

If he does get picked, Habs comms team will do a good job promoting/marketing him during development camp and fans will warm up to him by rookie camp.

 

[Jack Skellington]

Why would betting oddsmakers know anything more than literally every hockey insider

 

[Retired]

Was coming to comment. WTF?!

Jack Hughes and Mom interviewed live while dad watched on Sportsnet on the floor

 

[Hacketts]

I don't see the Habs taking Hughes. Pretty sure that dad would want to see his kid flourish elsewhere.

Not happening.

 

[sheed36]

I dated a beautiful blond air pilot that was from newfoundland and I tried to get her to explain to me what the f*** was b'y and it just feels like you guys use it anywhere, anytime.

Yes b'y.. Have no idea why we use it so much down here but yeah we say b'y A LOT.

 

[ClasslessGuy]

Hiw good is kent son?

 

[mbz]

Slaf is now the fav on fanduel….

 

[BoHorvat 53]

Wow, ok did I miss something?

Very, very big bets. Odds don’t swing that easily. I’m talking amounts in tens of thousands of dollars - and people staking that type of money usually have inside knowledge of some sort.

 

[FrankMTL]

That 's a trio of bad haircuts on Sportsnet.

 

[Noble]

Slafkovsky is now the odds on favourite to go first at -140, Wright is officially an underdog. Wow. I feel confident in saying Slaf is going 1st.

Don't pay attention to the betting odds. It means absolutely nothing.

These betting sites are just trying to cover potential losses by manipulating the odds. Nothing to see here.

 

[Kennerback]

Slafkovsky is now the odds on favourite to go first at -140, Wright is officially an underdog. Wow. I feel confident in saying Slaf is going 1st.

Very weird. Some insiders massively driving the betting? Literally nothing’s changed.

 

[SwiftyHab]

Anyone hoping Hughes picks his son at 26?

 

[domiwroze]

They don't have any more information than we had all day.

 

[Kaladin]

Wow, ok did I miss something?

Isn't this just because Slafkovsky has had a few big bids placed on him?

Yes - but people generally don't put huge money down unless they feel like they know something. It's just another data point - not conclusive either way.

 

[LurkingInTheCup]

Slaf overwhelming favourite on EU sites.
