GDT: 2023 NHL Draft: Day 2 (Rounds 2-7), Thursday, June 29, 11 a.m. NHLN, SN, TVAS

[Hope Of Glory]

30 point guys aren't worth two picks in 30s either.

30 points guy at 22 with potential to do more do have that kind of value. Maybe it's a bit of an overpayment but we weren't getting surefire top 6er under 28-30 with that package.

 

[WentWughes]

Pinelli, Barkey, Perron, and Ziemmer all interesting as well.

 

[Vachon23]

I would have trade up for Ziemmer

 

[JeffreyLFC]

For all the accolades about this being a good draft after the top 20, it is very bad.

 

[KevSkillz4]

f***. Kings select Ziemmer

 

[Draft]

Nice little run of solid players.

 

[1909]

And there go Cataford and Ziemmer. Suniev, Perron, Barkey, Rykov, Price, Mania, Ciernik, Pinelli, Minnetian, Cagnoni highest left for me.

Normal isn't it ? Habs cannot draft them all.

But if you keep your picks (like #31 and #37), you might have more chances.

I was hoping for Brzustewics as an option when Habs still had a 2nd. I liked that pick. Like what I saw in live viewings this year.

Not really, it's pretty good actually.

Not very bad, but no really better than any other drafts through the years.

 

[Sam de Mtl]

Nothing. That's why Montreal should be swinging for the fences with every single pick.

Right.

And each can interpret things as they want, but Newhook is a swing for the fences to me, more so than what would have been available at 31 and 37.

 

[JeffreyLFC]

Not really, it's pretty good actually.

I do not see the same talent as last year 3rd round for instance.

 

[waitin425]

Is Cam Allen a DND? He was forecasted a year ago to be the top D man!

 

[Runner77]

We got him for 2 early 2nds. You don't get 22 year olds guaranteed to produce 60 points a season for 2 2nds.

I like the trade but those were two 2nds in a deep draft. They could have been staggered so we kept one for this draft. Was hoping we could have moved someone to secure another. It is what is is.

Looking forward to Newhook.

 

[Draft]

Mania could be fun

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

Normal isn't it ? Habs cannot draft them all.

But if you keep your picks (like #31 and #37), you might have more chances.

Yep. Sawchyn and Cristall are better than any forward prospects we have.

 

[Whitesnake]

We'll pick Tourigny or McKinnon at one point to add our Q player.

 

[Naslundforever]

30 points guy at 22 with potential to do more do have that kind of value. Maybe it's a bit of an overpayment but we weren't getting surefire top 6er under 28-30 with that package.

They have like a million meh picks and middling prospects, they can only sign 50 I think; I‘d trade assets including picks for real needs and go for home runs with the picks left (pretty sure Newhook will fill a jersey and brings speed).

 

[Habsfan18]

Ethan Miedema could be worth one of our 4th’s.

 

[MON4NHLTOR4MLB]

If Reinbacher busts, this could go down as our worst draft in history

 

[Mrb1p]

I like tourigny

 

[Team_Spirit]

Heidt/Ziemmer teammates dropped a lot..

Off ice issues? Has to be character related. Ziemmer was the 2nd best goal scorer among draft eligible in the W.

 

[Draft]

LMAO, you must not have followed the draft for very long.

 

[Mrb1p]

If Reinbacher busts, this could go down as our worst draft in history

No matter what happens with our picks, it will be. The only way this is a good draft is if michkov busts.

 

[The Great Weal]

Define bust. He will be a top 4 NHL dman.
