GDT: 2023 Draft- do we draft in the first round?

[WreckingCrew]

We're going to hear 32GMs congratulate Poille & 31GMs congratulate Vegas

 

[SlavinAway]

LOL Price

 

[MinJaBen]

We are only on pick 6, let’s pump the brakes a bit.

If we somehow land Michkov because other GMs are risk averse chumps I will tattoo every one of the Borg’s faces across my back

 

[Lucky Lindy]

good work Carey

 

[DaveG]

I'll be interested in seeing how much the Russian factor is real here. Yotes could be a destination for Michkov simply because they can afford to go full DGAF having 2 firsts.

 

[Brock Anton]

Unless Arizona bails us out, Michkov gonna end up in the division too because teams that have no future for the next 3-4 years have no foresight/patience to wait.

Looking at you San Jose and Montreal.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

I feel like Montreal could have traded down a couple of picks and still got that pick

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

That was hard to watch, sheesh.

Lol WTF YOTES, took a Russian that wasn’t Michkov! f***ing gonna wind up in the division now huh, brutal

 

[Canes]

Coyotes gonna Coyote

 

[WreckingCrew]

I feel like Montreal could have traded down a couple of picks and still got that pick

Yea, he was like 5th-ish ranked Euro skater and probably 10-15 wasn't he?

Also, we're on pick 6 after almost 1 hr

Also also, is the board getting painfully slow and bogging down already just because Montreal drafted a guy. Wait until something drastic happens this whole thing is gonna implode

EDIT: Also also also...what the f*** Arizona, wasn't he like 20-30 ranked?

 

[DaveG]

woah, intrigue.

 

[Brock Anton]

So he’s going to PHI or WSH. Great.

I f***ing hate this division.

 

[CanesFanBudMan]

Time to trade up for Michkov

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Simashev was around 15-20. Yotes, hold my beer

 

[Canes]

So he’s going to PHI or WSH. Great.

I f***ing hate this division.

Meh, for a minute it looked like Bedard could end up in our division. Fantilli and Michkov are good but not Bedard good.

 

[HisIceness]

Coyotes I feel always try to play this sneaky "We're smarter than you think" game every draft and every draft they fail.

 

[Lucky Lindy]

so, some trades now please?

He's a LOT better than that. Guy is shades of the rise that EK and Seider had before their draft years. There's a reason I had no hope that the guy would be there with our pick.

 

[LBS I Digress]

Have to think that Leonard is probably gonna go next based on info that came out after the Flyers interview process was over

 

[Canes]

Flyers lucked out hard.

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

f***ing absolutely absurd that those moron teams from 2-6 let this dude fall to the Flyers. Absolute disaster

Well look how much I know lol

 

[WreckingCrew]

At least it's gonna be a few years before he destroys us, and Philly hasn't really been relevant in a number of years...hopefully they keep f***ing themselves up

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

michkov is a smart move for them. He wont come over for 2-3 years. So they 2-3 years to collect other top 5 picks

[Discipline Daddy]

The disadvantage of picking #30 is, we'll all stay up til 11 PM, have them cut to commercial when we pick, and then find out after that we traded into the second round.

The advantage of picking #30 is I won't literally say out loud "don't pick Jake Bean" "don't pick Jake Bean" all evening long only to have us pick Jake Bean. (Granted, I would have still f***ed it up and not taken McAvoy if I were GM as I liked Luke Kunin at the time).

 

[chaz4hockey]

Blank Jones and Philly.

 

[WreckingCrew]

Holy shit the boards are slow tonight...they ever gonna upgrade them from running off a hamster wheel?
