GDT: 2023 NHL Draft - (1st Round - 6/28 at 7PM ET and Remainder of Draft - 6/29 at 11AM ET)

[AndHeMissedTheNet]

Final prediction: whichever of Leonard or Michkov is still available at 7. if both of them go 5 and 6, then... honestly i don't know but i have a feeling it'll be a pick that a lot of Flyers fans won't be happy with.

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

Michkov
Benson
Leonard

In that order.

 

[Rebels57]

100% of Brieres effort was on that fantastic Hayes trade and failing to follow the rules with the DeAngelo attempt.

Torts hasn’t given him permission to trade Hart yet.

Can't make a cinderella run, ruin draft position, and get smoked in the 1st round next season without Hart.

Depends on which Hart we get, to be honest. In certain years he’d be the one leading that charge to the bottom.

 

[Hockeypete49]

Michkov, Benson, or trade down at 7. Anything else will be met with a giant meh.

I call BS. No way I give 7, 22,+ for him. This is a very good draft, and we need all the good players we can get at this point. I am very leary of Putin and what he may do in the future

 

[Flyerfan4life]

LOL. im so dum

im sittin trying to figure out why the draft hasnt started.. its well past 11AM EST.

HAHAA.. my brain is VERY smooth...

I see a couple other teams were able to get 2nd or 3rd round picks today....Briere needs get on on the action as well.

It ok. It's understandable after all the mental trauma this shitstain franchise has delivered to the fanbase in the past decade.

 

[EdmFlyersfan]

This feels like trade deadline day all over again. I hope I'm wrong and just being impatient, but this does not feel like the rebuild that is desperately needed. I am not encouraged.

No one wants the Flyers garbage at the price tag they were signed to...

TK, Laughton and Hart (yes, I know we have to wait on him) are all very tradeable.

I'm talking more of the likes of players like Sanheim and Flyers should have taken the rumored Laughton offer...

If the draft officially starts at 7pm ET, how long until they're done with, say, first 10 picks?

European asking for a friend.

 

[Adam Warlock]

If the Flyers draft Leonard...how long before the authentics start using the words "future captain".

I’d imagine they string it out at least like around an hour or so.

 

[Appleyard]

For me, what would be a roughly ideal 1st round?

7: Michkov or Benson
22: Gulyayev, Simashev, Cristall, Perreault, Musty

I quite like Šalé too if he is there at 22.

 

[trostol]

i'll be at work and prepped to be disappointed

That would be a fantastic draft, sadly, knowing this team, we’ll end up with Reinbacher at 7 and Wood at 22.

I dont "dislike" either player tbh... I don't think Wood would be "bad" at 22 for example.

But yeh, I just don't see either being BPA or close in those spots.

If drafting say ~12-14th and ~28-29th Reinbacher and Wood would be a solid outcome.

It'll be instantaneous.

Absolutely. I mean to me, Reinbacher is a very high floor sure thing. But the ceiling just isn’t there. He’s a 2/3 guy at best and I want more from 7OA in this draft.

My final top 15
1. Bedard
2. Fantilli
3. Michkov
4. Carlsson
5. Benson (the more I see, the more I love this kid)
6. Smith
7. Moore (I want those wheels)
8. Leonard (l really do like him, just think that there are 7 guys that are better)
9. Sandin-Pellikka
10. Gulyayev
11. Dvorsky
12. Cristall
13. Simashev
14. Reinbacher
15. Danielson

Don’t really think there’s much separation between 12-15 on my list and there’s 4-5 other guys who are right at that level too.

Dvorsky at 7 and then Denis Gauthier's kid at 22 because: size

I laugh, because there is no option that indicates I’m chugging bleach

[Flyerfan13]

Thinking a trade down from 22 is coming hopefully gain a 2
