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

[thedjpd]

Pretty unreal that Briere has not acquired a 2nd rounder. Come on.

I agree, this is pretty shocking.

At some point, you have to realize what the market is and make the moves for the future rather than 'just acquire value.'

 

[saophim]

Stevie on the phone. Cmon do it

 

[deadhead]

Briere has to be patient, as a new GM, I'm sure teams have lowballed him left and right.
Notice DeBrincat hasn't been moved by Ottawa, either.
Nor have a bunch of names like Hanifan, et al.

At some point the 2023 draft stops being in play and he'll have to trade for 2024, 2025 picks and prospects.

Yzerman said into the phone on camera “We’ll do the trade.” Not sure this is a mystery.

As over the moon as we all are for Michkov, the Flyers still haven’t proved they have the ability/want to collect assets in bulk to build around him. It’s funny in that the HockeyGuy logic is always: you can’t tank and win with 1 player! And yet the Flyers are being obstinate about acquiring more futures to build an actual team for the sake of Scott Laughton (or Ristolainen or….) in meaningless seasons. I just can’t believe they took a defensive defenseman, don’t have a 2nd, and are okay with that. My fear is a single elite prospect means they think they’re all set on that front.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I always love these stories about injuries to internal organs, etc. F***ing talk about their play and get on with it, Oprah.

 

[ponder719]

Well, that was a trade.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Surprised Tampa passed on Cristall.

I could not agree more. This is troubling.

That's not Nilsson lol.

 

[CutOnDime97]

Bedard Moore and Kantserov

Or they are keeping the Laughtons of the world because of their coach. Occum's razor

 

[bennysflyers16]

Michkov was actually awesome as no way the past GM's wouldnt of taken Leonard.

But like Magua says, Laughton still being a Flyers tells you nothing has changed with their thinking.

Its actually pathetic.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Chicago takes HACKS.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

This pace is not good for my borderline ADHD.

"Borderline" lol

 

[Kelmitchell2]

Would have loved kantserov, but if we can trade up and take dragicevic I'd be ecstatic

 

[Young Sandwich]

Lind family FTW.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Yamamoto to DET?

 

[wankstifier]

Seems like the Flyers pass on a Perreault every year. Are they all related and vocally anti Flyers?

[BiggE]

Heidt was in my top 20, really wish they’d make a deal and take him

 

[FLYguy3911]

Flyers interviewed him lol. Thank god he's off the board.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

"Borderline" lol

It's not diagnosed so I have plausible deniability.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I really didn't want that Brady Cleveland character. Glad he's gone.

GET ON YOUR F***ING BIKE, DANIEL, YOU BITCH!

 

[ponder719]

OK, NHLN, tone it down a bit. Yzerman's preferences are his business, and his alone.
