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

[Pazucha]

Looks like Montreal drafted no one from U18 Championship despite traveling there in person.

 

[vokiel]

Yo dawg! Apparently we need goaltenders in Montreal!

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

4 goalies in a row picked.

 

[red devil]

8 goalies were drafted in the 5th round

 

[calder candidate]

This draft will is awfully disappointing…

 

[Gravity]

Giving me major 2015 vibes

2013 vibes.

 

[nyhabsfan]

I think we have a full house
3 Goalies / 2 RHD

I can't believe we drafted 3 goalies in this draft.

I maybe in the minority on this but I think Michov is over-rated and his play in the KHL will not translate to the NHL., specifically his play away from the puck.

I was hoping Leonard, but okay with Reinbacher.

 

[sukimono]

Hellnemo is still there....pick him Habs.

Hellnemo!?

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Yo dawg! Apparently we need goaltenders in Montreal!

Everyone needs a good goaltender. there are maybe 4 currently in the NHL.

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

Should have drafted Jiricek or Nemec last year and Michkov this year, but we can't have nice things, apparently... Habs doing Habs things.

Don't worry, next year's draft is stacked for defensemen so we'll reach for a forward.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

This has to be one of the worst drafts in recent memory for MTL. This draft pushed us back another 3 years

Definitely not. Overall, it won't hurt us that much. Reinbacher will be a player.

 

[Schooner Guy]

Why not take a chance on Milic or Ratlaf from Sea instead of the Russian goalie at least? f*** Bobrov

The Russian goalie is 6foot3 according to Elite Prospects and Russia is a goalie factory. Compare the number of high end NHL goalies from Russia vs high end goalies from the CHL. It's not even the close.

 

[mbz]

Worst draft in recent memory?

 

[McGees]

 

[1909]

Hopefully it’s more like Ottenger than the other two

Anderson had a very good carreer.

Should have drafted Jiricek or Nemec last year and Michkov this year, but we can't have nice things, apparently... Habs doing Habs things.

Hey folks, we have Cole Caufield for the next 8 years. And Hutson, the 9th marvel of the World....

 

[Seb]

Thought for the draft Post-mortem : This was supposed to be an offensive heavy draft but it actually is goalie heavy!

 

[Twisted Sinister]

We need a nickname for these two... Bobointe ?

Labrov, or even better... Labrovomy.

So... Has everyone else realized these people are f***ing horrible at their jobs yet?

 

[Draft]

Am I losing it or is JORDAN TOURIGNY still available? Did he murder someone?

 

[Natey]

How many picks do we have left?

I want Fedotov badly

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

2013 vibes.

At least we took some chances on talent with Lehkonen, Reway (who looked great before health problems), and Andrighetto

 

[Blame the referee]

There is place for one more goalie…Thomas Milic

 

[JurequeparJuraj]

Wow what a failed franchise have we become..

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

I think we have a full house

Someone here wanted the Habs to pick a lot of goalies late. No way to know if a goalie will be any good. Buy in bulk and pray.

Everyone thought Montreal crushed the 2012 draft and no one is an NHLer, so hard to say.

Maybe this is the Sharks situation where they had Kipper, Nabokov and Toskala.

 

[The Great Weal]

It would be nice to have scouts from Carolina/Buffalo/Anaheim instead of Gorton's buddies who he butt-chugged a beer with back in the day. I don't like how ALL our management is from people from his NY days or just good friends with zero experience.
