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

[Lempo]

Another nadir hit.

 

[Ginger Papa]

Got yourselves a sniper.

I think a couple of Seasons in College will develop his strength and make him a solid pick.

“We like our group”

f*** you

2nd in the league. Obvilusly we're always going to try to improve, but c'mon, it ain't like when we were hearing that in 2013.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

If you’re going to take a project, the 30th overall pick is where to do it. So no complaints

 

[chaz4hockey]

Lol my wife said another small forward but then again she wanted the small Russian defenseman that just got drafted by the Avs

Nadeau is going to U of Maine with his brother.
High skill guy.
The power that Nadeau creates off his shot is not only downright terrifying to witness in person, but also awe-inspiring from a mechanical point of view. He’s effectively stacked more nuance and deception to make it an even more dangerous threat. From his curl-and-drag attempts around sprawling defenders to his angle-changing release, Nadeau’s arms are always separated from his body leveraging the full force of his upper body leveraging down on the stick. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide

[Brock Anton]

Easily the most boring 1st round in recent memory.

 

[Daeavorn]

so now we have Boom and Boomstick

 

[WreckingCrew]

seriously BCHL , i could score 100 points in a undersage beer league , im disapointed

Alex Newhook was drafted 16th straight out of the BCHL with less goals & pts than Nadeau

 

[cptjeff]

Also, 5'10" player from the Maritimes, clearly we just drafted the next Crosby.

 

[Lempo]

so now we have Boom and Boomstick

at least we didnt get Gauthier , i just wish we would have done what i suggested , 1st and 2nd for detroit 3 2nds rounders , but waddel has blocked me in chat , haha , im always suspect on why players dont join main league , he was drafted in the Q , its small leagues that i dont care about like , really do we actually care who we have in the ECHL some have placed Nadeau in the third round anyhow i hope he shows me wrong At Maine

 

[The Jerk Store]

I think it's safe to say that we easily won the first round.

 

[DaveG]

between Boomstick and D-Fens we have the best cult movie references in our system.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

You rang?

Bradly Nadeau is going to be a late riser on many draft boards as his end of season stat lines look ridiculous and are too gaudy to ignore. Nadeau played his draft year in the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL) and has committed to play for the University of Maine in the NCAA next season. Canada’s Junior A hockey leagues don’t get a ton of respect so even after scoring nearly a point per game in the BCHL as a 16-year-old last season, there weren’t a lot of people talking about Nadeau coming into his draft year.

McKeens had him at 27.

 

[DaveG]

Black Book had him at 21

So... not a single trade yesterday. Not even a pure trade up/down in the draft. Boring. Just 4 hours of watching teams draft guys you've never seen play. Let's hope today is more fun.
