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

[Whitesnake]

Can we just make a trade....with the picks we have? To move up?

 

[le_sean]

Hopefully it’s more like Ottenger than the other two

Craig Anderson was good for a long time.

 

[MadMslm]

Man it’s depressing to see all those guys and get not shot at drafting them.

They may never make it, but it’s always fun to add prospects with some king of offensive upside.

Chicago is everywhere, it’s insane to see the amount of moves they are on.

Now I wish they would have went for the Hall trade, would have added some offense and a possible gain of assets later in the season.

 

[dinodebino]

So we are stuck with our vets. I was expecting that, TBH. Our tandem is very hungry right now. They don‘t want to get rid for any price. Mmmmm. Interesting.

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

Almost had a heart attack thinking they took Mania

 

[sampollock]

kent wants quanity this year looks like, other then the Hook deal

 

[Cournoyer12]

He's prepping to make some terrible free agent signings Saturday at 12 patience my friend

Rusty tire irons and misshapen rims no doubt!!!

 

[Hope Of Glory]

I hope I'm wrong but this feels like a Shaw/Dvorak type reach. Avalanche pro scouting rarely give up good talent in trades so maybe they are due for a mistake.

At least Newhook is way more talented than those guys. This is way more my type of gamble. Shaw/Dvorak were never going to be bonafide top 6er. With Newhook, it's a possibility.

I do agree that Colorado's pro scouting is pretty solid. So why they did let him go? Maybe he was miscast, maybe we fooled ourselves. Or maybe that's why we had to overpay.

We'll see but I like a gamble. But like any gamble, it might not work.

Maybe move some guys for ‘24s…

 

[Kairi Zaide]

Craig Anderson was good for a long time.

Craig Anderson kept having a bad season and then a great season and then a bad season and then a great season.

 

[sukimono]

Awoye Mr.NET, fais d'quoi tabarnak!!!!

Unless I end up being mistaken, I think the Habs feel everything is fine. They have their offensive and defensive cores set.

I dunno if I feel as strongly, but anyways.

 

[Wats]

Feel like Seattle has good drafting, people laughed at the organization at the expansion draft but they are building something pretty good.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Minnetian or Mania would be excellent value here.

Watch them have good years and put us picking 13th or something as a last f*** you

People here would have lost their minds if this team picked Beniers 2OA.

 

[le_sean]

Craig Anderson kept having a bad season and then a great season and then a bad season and then a great season.

I’d argue he had an elite 7 year run in Ottawa (2010-2017). He always seemed to have the Habs number.

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

It really seems like this franchise is never able to take advantage of deep drafts.

 

[MadMslm]

We have so many forwards and defensemen it’s crazy.

I get that with the amount of late picks we have they might be inclined to trade for picks in next year’s draft or to get players of equal value in exchange.

At one point we’ll see movement. Dvorak has an 8 team ntc coming up on july 1st.

Last year draft (Shane Wright exlcuded) was a slam dunk draft.

 

[The Great Weal]

I still remember the "glorified Danault" comments that aged like milk

 

[Lockin17]

No shit..

 

[Mrb1p]

People here would have lost their minds if this team picked Beniers 2OA.

By people do you mean WTK and only him? Because Beniers was always an impressive player.

I still remember the "glorified Danault" comments that aged like milk

WTK

 

[Wats]

People here would have lost their minds if this team picked Beniers 2OA.

Why's that? He was pretty consensus #2, way more than Slaf for #1.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Canucks take Mynio. He had a terrific playoffs for Seattle. Not a lot of offensive upside but plays a solid, grinding defensive game.

I was looking at him for 5th round.
