Why can’t we have a team that values offensive D over defensive ones.

This is the true shame of our nation. Was served this at a pizza place outside Pittsburgh

Yes, I tell everyone that the worst pizza I've ever had has been in Ohio. It's like they banned Italians from their state.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Not surprising some of the best front offices in the league clean up on draft day with a modern forward thinking approach while the rest of the league leaves value on the board.

Really sucks not having a (high) second round pick.

Detroit picks 3 times in the first 11 picks (9/10/11) of the second round. Chicago's got 4 picks in the round (altho only one is early).

 

[Appleyard]

Gulyayev and Makar. LMAO.

When teams are not scared to pick Simashev and But top 12?

But Gulyayev falls to 31st. Lmao.

And Cristall seemingly will be available in 2nd.

Do teams just never learn?

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Colorado is going to have all of the offensive defensemen.

 

[Strawberry Fields]

Maybe we can move Laughton tomorrow for a 2023 2nd and 2024 1st? Not a bad consolation.

BOS 1st and one of Detroit's 38485 second round picks. Don't think that's the kind of move the Wings are going for though.

Can't have anyone more offensive than our coach.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Not a single trade during the first round.

Pretty crazy.

 

[Strawberry Fields]

I just want all of you to know I've tried liking multiple posts of yours but this website is ****ed

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Chicago will get Cristall tomorrow.

Anaheim and Columbus will pass somehow.

 

[RANKKA]

cristall is a 2nd round player, oh my that risto trade keeps hurting me

 

[The Rage Kage]

Notice how few "real" trades there were the last week.
Dubois, Colton (2nd), Toffoli (3rd, 3C type), Newhook (#27, #29). Durzi (2nd).
More than last year, but I expect the action will heat up the next few hours, though some deals will be contingent on certain players being on the board.

Well the opposite of his expectations usually happens, so I guess trades are pretty much done.

It's actually kind of frightening how right this was lmao.

 

[Amorgus]

Yay bedtime

 

[FLYguy3911]

Cristall I knew wouldn't be this league's cup of tea, but I'm shocked Brindley didn't go today. He's pretty grindy for a smol boy.

 

[Flybynite]

Why can’t we have a team that values offensive D over defensive ones.

Seemed like we had some pretty 'offensive' D last year. Maybe not 'offensive' in the HOCKEY SENSE of the word though.

 

[BigToe]

1.76 ppg in the WHL and you're not a first round pick.

 

[Striiker]

I’m 100% back to hating the Flyers

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

It's actually kind of frightening how right this was lmao.

“Not a single player that teams wanted was on the board.”

I can see it already.

The board is the board and the market is the market.

 

[Strawberry Fields]

1.76 ppg in the WHL and you're not a first round pick.

If he was 6'11" he would've been a top 5 pick.

 

[GKJ]

Zero Q players in round 1

 

[Appleyard]

 

[Columbus Hockey Dad]

I’m 100% back to hating the Flyers

Wow, now there’s a shock. Get me the smelling salts, I may pass out.

 

[GKJ]

Ducks will take Cristall

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

need to acquire a second or 2x tomorrow. Cristall on the board still somehow?

I like Lukas Dragicevic, Gavin Brindley, Noah Dower Nillson, Oskar Fiskar Molgaard
