2023 Draft Discussion

Granlund and 15th for 42 and 43

If we are taking Granlund, we are not giving up two 2nds.

 

[Frk It]

Wasn’t Reinbacher the one who nonbed interviews? I could swear I read Montreal, among other teams, were not impressed. They said he lacked any fire or personality

Feel free to link where you saw this

In The Black Book they made it sound like Montreal picking Reinbacher is pretty likely

doubt pittsburgh would even do that anyways.

Dumbass is their GM/president now. He traded a 1st with Marleau to dump that bad contract.

 

[ZDH]

Looking more and more likely Michkov will be there at 9, getting really interesting now.

so are you saying that’s a bad deal for wings or pit?

After hearing the negative comments from Washington's scouts about Michkov, I think it all comes down to Philly.

Can’t imagine Michkov is tops on the Flyers list with Torts and Keith Jones making the decisions. Whose a huge bodied, super physical “realgud” powerforward or a stay at home, hard checking defenseman for them to take?

Prediction. Washington picks him.

Bad for the Wings.

Toronto ended up trading the 13th overall pick to Carolina who bought out the last year of his contract ($6.25M AAV but only $4.25M in salary).

Granlund has 2 years left $5M AAV but $11M in total salary.

We probably shouldn't be giving up one of the 2nds let alone two of them.

You wouldn’t take Granlund at 5m for 2 years to move up 25 spots to get a top 15 pick in a loaded draft? That’s crazy man. We’re not strapped for cash.

Who said anything about cash?

Toronto paid 13th overall and a 7th round pick to free up $6.25M cap space and $4.25M actual money and got a 6th rounder back

Why would Pittsburgh only pay 15th overall to free up $5M (per year) in cap space and $11M actual money AND get two high 2nd rounders back?

If anything it should be 15th + a 2nd (they don't have one) + Granlund for nothing back.

I'll take Granlund for #15 or I'll give up two 2nds for #15. I'm not doing both.

 

[Pavels Dog]

He was #2 on McKenzie’s pre-season ranking in September and was widely considered to be the #2 player to start the season.

People don’t realize that Fantilli and Carlsson both really exceeded expectations this year.

Rankings aren’t necessarily the same thing as projecting where he will go. It’s been obvious for a while he’s unlikely to go in the top 5.

 

[Zetterberg4Captain]

Prediction. Washington picks him.

I'm not sure

I think Washington is gonna want a guy closer to being NHL ready then 5 years away from his debut.. if at all

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

Great deal for Detroit if Granlund has some good hockey left. OK deal for Pittsburgh because they help their cap.

 

[Frk It]

Rankings aren’t necessarily the same thing as projecting where he will go. It’s been obvious for a while he’s unlikely to go in the top 5.

It is when the ranking is based entirely on feedback from NHL scouts, like is the case with McKenzie’s.

 

[HoweFan]

At nine I’m happy with Leonard, Dvorski, Reinbacher, or Moore. Not so happy with Danielson, Pellikka, Cristall, or Perrault. Whatever happens I will be satisfied that Steve and company know a little more than I do and I will get behind whoever they pick.

 

[HoweFan]

If Reinbacher didn’t do interviews that could drop him considerably in Steve’s eyes. He puts a lot of weight on interviews

Fair.

we are on opposite sides of the coin my friend

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

Finished a mock.

@My Cozen Dylan draft

#9. Leonard
#17. Wallinder
#41. Nadeau
#42. Gibson
#43. Pitre
#73. Brzustewicz
#117. Cheslock
#137. Townsend
#169. Khazheyev
#201. Hay

A lot of players I wanted ended up getting picked high.

Still, I think that's a good class.

would be fine with this haul based off who you had to pick from.

Thanks. After Brzustewicz was still available at that spot, I had to take the upside.

The players after that? Swing.

Legit pissed that Nilsson went right before I picked.


EDIT: Both were to Barry

What is that they did not like about him?, or they just want him to get fall to #8
