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

[Sagikev]

He's an incredible passer and the games I watched he was basically the teams #1 defenseman. Really smart player, great vision. Could use some weight to be stronger, but definitely not a midget.

Thank you!

 

[MadMslm]

So how about an American from high school now ?

 

[JeffreyLFC]

Tourigny is starting to make sense:

We have his brother, check. Diminutive RD, check. French Canadian, check.

 

[Lockin17]

Florian and Bogdan could have been pick in the 5th rd easy .. stupid !!

 

[WeThreeKings]

I have no idea why teams are afraid of Minnetian or Mania.

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

I liked Timmins’ drafts better. That says a lot about my confidence in the last two years.

Yep. If it weren't for Hutson somehow dropping to the late 2nd...

 

[Natey]

Ok then. I guess ?

A defensemen scoring like 0.45 ppg in the KHL throughout the season and playoffs is really solid, especially when he gets a ton of minutes.

Really want Fedotov now

HFhabs getting mad at picks that has a 1-2% hitrate.

Typical exposure of negative, pre-conceived bias.

If we go by hit rate, Habs might as well just trade every pick. They're well below league average in last 10 years.

When we do for players with 22yo with untapped potential, people are mad anyway.

Damn if you do, damn if you dont

So high upside in the 4th round, which is what you want. Only Florian was a bad value pick so far.

What's the section titled? Sleepers?

 

[Hope Of Glory]

Ciernik, finally. 120th

 

[waitin425]

Some kid born in 2004/05 was named Larry. Think about that for a second.

 

[MON4NHLTOR4MLB]

Philly is absolutely killing this draft! I want Briere ugh

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

And there goes Ciernik

Maybe Florian is to make Arber an easier re-sign.

 

[bleuetbio]

Phily did great again there with Ciernik

 

[MON4NHLTOR4MLB]

Good news is if we keep being a crap drafting team, eventually, eventually, they’ll have to clear the whole scouting department finally for once

 

[Guy Larose]

What does he have to do with anything? At this point it's not KH or Briere it's the scouting staff.

Probably why Habs aren't very successful. Looking at winning organizations, they seem to do quite well in drafting.

 

[sampollock]

habs table looks bored

Not really sure what they saw in Bobrov. His drafting history is very, very sad.
