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

[Boardish]

I thought this was a deep draft, especially for offensive talent.

Now it’s just offensive.

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

I genuinely think we have more defense and goalie prospects in the system than forward prospects at this point

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

two RD, two goaltender, do we see a trend?

But they were BPA, apparently...

 

[Cubebrick]

LAK with the steal

 

[Pazucha]

Curious what would people prefer in here NewHook or (31 Cristall) + (37 Hrabal / Gajan)

 

[habsfan891]

Lol 3 goalies are they joking

 

[Whitesnake]

Come on Habs...there's plenty of goalies left. Let's go. Overager Olivier Adam from Blainville. you know you want to!

 

[MadMslm]

I thought they didn’t get to see games in Russia.

I won’t lie, his stats and stature are pretty good if he’s actually 6’3.

What a weird draft. It’s hard to find it funny to some degree.

 

[Schooner Guy]

So NHL has the goalie at6'0 159 while EP has him at 6'3'' 168 lbs...

Central Scouting hasn't been to Russia in almost two years so many of their listings would be largely out of date.

Can't go wrong picking a 6foot3 goalie from a hotbed goalie factory country this late in the draft.

 

[MON4NHLTOR4MLB]

Winnipeg and Buffalo may have drafted better goalies than all 3 of ours aha

 

[The Great Weal]

1 "productive" forward in a draft filled with offensive talent.

Hmmm Blainville... ça doit avoir des tattoos ça

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

And with LA that's it for my draft list. Had Mania at 58.

 

[MON4NHLTOR4MLB]

1 productive forward in a draft filled with offensive talent.

Easy on the productive too

 

[MarkovsKnee]

THREE goalies!

Ok. Cool..cool. cool

 

[morhilane]

Looks like the Habs are focusing on prospects with rights that last more than 2 years. They don't really have a choices with how many they have.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Quentin Miller seems like a good value pick.

He's got size and seemed solid in the Mem cup. Worth the risk.

Russian goalie in Russia will likely be a few years.

Fowler going to Boston College can chill there for a few years.

Miller comes to the A, or possibly ECHL in 2 years. Spreads them out.

 

[Draft]

1 productive forward in a draft filled with offensive talent.

The 19yo?

 

[JeffreyLFC]

Curious what would people prefer in here NewHook or (31 Cristall) + (37 Hrabal / Gajan)

Newhook.

 

[ginomini]

Curious what would people prefer in here NewHook or (31 Cristall) + (37 Hrabal / Gajan)

Newhook tbh

 

[sheed36]

When I said last night I expected to say this a couple of times I didn't think it would be this many times. Damn.

The Habs just picking names out of a bag during this draft or what?

 

[SwiftyHab]

If you merge 3 g you get a big G no?

 

[GHJimmy]

Goalies for everyone in this thread

 

[le_sean]

Silver lining is every scouting service will rate our drafts as one of the worst which is usually good news. Too many times I’ve seen the Habs have a “good” draft only for no one to pan out.

 

[Scotianhab]

2023 draft is one of the most deepest in years. Feel extremely disappointed with our 4 picks so far.

Disappointed in the 7 picks so far. Wish we had a reporter that would call out Hugo and what is mindset was for this draft.
