Pre-Game Talk: 2023 Draft Discussion

[Statto]

I’m looking forward to every pick we make being roundly pooped upon.

 

[chris kontos]

does blake still think its a smaller,faster nhl or is he inching closer to the size and skill wins in the playoffs model (like its been since the nhl started)? or is he going to trick everyone and play without a goaltender next year?
trying to get a read on blake at the draft and the philosophy.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Sawchyn or bust

 

[kingsfan28]

I have no idea who they'll take. How about the meanest SOB in the draft?

 

[Schrute farms]

finally, round 2 has started...let's go (Kings go)!

Goalies going -- two now in first 6 picks.

yep that sucks

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Three goalies off the board in round 2.

 

[kingsfan28]

all the goalies will be gone by pick 54.

 

[FSL KINGS]

Still got time to grab a coffee.

 

[LAKings88]

Boring draft honestly. Kings can’t even trade up. Wouldn’t be shocked if they trade back.

 

[Scottkmlps]

The Wings own 75% of the 2nd round?

 

[LAKings88]

Kalan Lind went to Nashville.

Yamamoto and Kostin to Detroit in cap dump.

 

[fsanford]

is Dvorak still available?

 

[kingsfan28]

some of these trades crack me up. remember when you had to move guys with equal value. now its "future consideration" aka, pay for our our workout gear and a case of beer .

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

is Dvorak still available?

Kings took him.

 

[KingsOfCali25]

is Dvorak still available?

Not anymore lol

 

[fsanford]

Kings took him.

i figured that is where they would go. Big LD. Also my bugging device at draft table seems to be working ha ha ha

 

[kingsfan28]

is Dvorak still available?

nope. The Kings took him.

 

[kingsboy11]

6'5 LHD, you have my attention

 

[Schrute farms]

pretty happy with that pick -- from size alone and that he uses it too. No idea if he can play.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Have mocked Dvorak to the Kings many times! After losing out on the run of goaltenders this pick made sense...A big LD-man...I see LA going goaltender in the 3rd round maybe Fowler if he's available

[KingsHockey24]

Cool we drafted a #7D.

 

[Nasti]

Another old boys club move if it happened.

 

[FSL KINGS]

Cool we drafted a #7D.

Can't teach size!
