Post-Game Talk: 2023 NHL Draft 1st Round post game talk

[MarkovsKnee]

Well, we drafted David Reinbacher.

No trades.

Lots of surprises like Arizona drafting 2 Russians.

Discuss it all here.

Expectation: Wright and Michkov

Reality: Slafkovsky and Reinbacher

Time will tell.

 

[Whitesnake]

Whatever. See you in 3 years.

[JackZap]

Down bad

 

[Frank Drebin]

We can say this was unexpected, but was it really?

 

[Gainesvillain]

Absolute massive fail by HuGo.

Turning 5 31 and 37 into David Reinbacher and Alex Newhook is inexcusable.

 

[Hannibal]

What a fail.

If Askarov + 15 pick was really on the table, fire Hughes tonight.

BORING

@waffledave "It's disingenuous to say Reinbacher is going to be, at best, a #2 and then turn around saying we passed on "multiple" potential scoring superstars. We passed on one who has that kind of potential."

That's your opinion and you're free to it. I don't agree that we only passed on one. And I think he's at best at #2 cause I don't see any real big offensive potential there with Reinbacher.

 

[Habsfan18]

Even if he reaches his potential he’s viewed as more of a #3 or #4, at least from what I’ve read by multiple scouting services. That’s fine and all, but you want more with your 5th overall pick, especially when the alternative is a damn near generational forward who is there for the taking.

 

[Playmaker09]

Another desperation pick.

After picking KK and Galchenyuk in two of the worst center crops in history, we take Reinbacher in the worst defensive class I’ve ever seen.

You don’t get bonus points for picking the biggest fish in the smallest pond.

Legit the only times we simply took what the draft board gave us we ended up with Sergachev and Caufield.

This organization has a fetish for trying to be the smartest group in the room.

 

[Habitant#1]

Corey Pronman is one of the guys who's highest on Reinbacher and in his description he has "not dynamic with the puck".
Wow that just screams 5th overall value!

 

[NotProkofievian]

IMO, we got the 6th best player in the draft with the 5th best pick.

 

[MadMslm]

Is Hughes speaking to the media ?

 

[Cubebrick]

Solid pick.

Y'all want some fries with that salt?

 

[Seb]

People riding the Reinbacher train are happy! Choo Choo!

 

[larek]

Brutal decision - shocking for Hughes

 

[TheFalk]

fire molson

 

[GREMLIN]

Man, if I was a Yotes fan I’d be livid.

 

[McGees]

What an overhyped snoozer of a draft.

 

[sampollock]

Was not a exciting time

 

[Koivu11]

 

[CapSpace]

f*** this clown team once again. We lost this day big time.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Benson lower than Savoie speaks a lot about the quality of this draft. Sabres got both now.

No goalies, Adin Hill bla bla bla.
