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

It's funny. A lot of posters wanted Leonard and I haven't seen a single one of them have a childish tantrum over Reinbacher.

When you have no argument, go ad hominem and use personal attacks!

 

[Runner77]

We will take all the overagers and goalies thank you very much.

​

 

[Guy Larose]

Judging from your post history, you defend everything the club does no matter what. I have 30 years of garbage history on my side. What you got?

Nope, not at all. I just don't act like a spoiled brat every time they don't do something I wanted. Only 30? I'm 53 and have been watching since I'm a wee kid. I've criticized them plenty. I just don't waste my whole days doing it. I have 1832 posts in about 5 years on here.

This. Ti-guy is thin skinned.

Nah, just don't like adults that act like babies when they don't get what they want.

I f***ing hate the pick but man, I hate this negativity even more. I know for a f***ing fact that the majority of people complaining have at best watched a few highlight videos and that's it. Getting so emotional and worked up about something you know hardly anything about... It's not healthy. I mean some are obviously just trolling and f***ing around but others, I'm not so sure.

​

HAHAHA....so we take guys that weren't picked in their drafts or even the last two drafts? What does that make them? 11th rounders by now?

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Now, let's get to the off season where the Habs keep all their players and pretty much roll back with the same team hoping injuries don't occur so they can finish 10th

 

[waffledave]

Yeah that's why NHL scouts are infallible and never make the wrong pick. Never mind that an entire scouting staff was outperformed by an excel document picking the highest scoring CHL forward over the course of the 2000s.

So you agree then?

 

[BeliveauFan4ever]

Calling the rebuild over and no ppg forward, yet?

Gonna roll with a Carolina-O but with lower octane?

 

[Schooner Guy]

Oh well. I'm just happy to be calm while doing it and not crying, and jumping up and down with a soother in my mouth.

And I have lots of arguments against the small, one dimensional, average skating "generational" talent who got passed over by 6 teams. I'm sure Bobrov has lots more good stuff on him.

 

[David Suzuki]

​

or they think their exploiting a market deficiency. Any 20 year old taken this late is probably many years away from ever playing in the nhl if they ever make it

 

[Treb]

Parayko was a 10th rounder.

I wish we had Carolina's octane.

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

So you agree then?

I think if you compared them based on results it would be pretty much identical on average. Do you really think the average poster here couldn't have done better drafting for this team throughout the 2010s?

That we couldn't, even by drafting based on doing polls, have done better than (among 1st round picks, or players with >82 games played):
Tinordi, Gallagher, Beaulieu, Galchenyuk, Hudon, McCarron, de la Rose, Lehkonen, Andrighetto, Scherbak, Evans, Juulsen, Sergachev, Mete, Poehling, Kotkaniemi, Romanov, and Caufield?

 

[BeliveauFan4ever]

Love that team’s competitiveness. Always show up. They don’t need a dominant F as bad as Habs do, but they need one.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

3 goalies and no Milic. Disappointed there

Don't really need him right now. The goalies are at minimum 2 years away from signing an NHLC which is when both Primeau & Allen are done, and we should know more about Dobes NHL potential.

 

[Jee]

Dennis Good Bogg

this draft really is the weirdest i'ver ever seen

That's all the "defend management at all costs" crowd has. Personal attacks.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

The draft of Russians sealed it for me. There’s pea brain idiots running this club. They drafted all the arguments against Michkov in other players. If Wayne Gretzky had a contract in the WHA (he did) of 3 years. Would you not draft him?

It's pretty obvious that they didn't think Michkov is a generational talent like the people on this board seem to think. They look at him as another Caufield, and we already have a Caufield.

Reinbacher will help with the build.

I'm not being serious. No, I don't think a bunch of people on the internet would do a better job than professionals.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Connor Levis going in 7th round. He was going 4th in majority of drafts.

 

[Schooner Guy]

That's all the "defend management at all costs" crowd has. Personal attacks.

Hey...I thought this management group was crazy bananas to appoint MSL as head coach and I posted that here. I'm not too weak to admit when I'm wrong though and boy was I ever wrong.

Pretending you know more about a Russian prospect than a head scout whose dad works for the prospect's parent KHL team is messed up.

 

[SOLR]

HAHAHA....so we take guys that weren't picked in their drafts or even the last two drafts? What does that make them? 11th rounders by now?

A guy doesn't get drafted while developing his game, doesn't mean it's a wise decision by the teams.
Many players develop into professional candidates later.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

I really hate Carolina. They stole my draft.

1. Nadeau
2. Unger Sorum
3. Perron
4. Rykov
5. Khazheyev
6. Mukhanov
7. Even f***ing Michael Emerson!

All players I really liked. They did it in 2021 too.

 

[Kennerback]

On some level I like Reinbacher. I don’t think he can bust, it’s a safe pick, And we’re leaving this draft with at least a good roster player.

Brière said they were trying to do everything they could to move up to 5 to get Michkov and can’t believe their luck. Look at the words they use in Philadelphia and they think they’ve drafted someone exceptional way beyond a Caufield. The Flyers and the Habs both can’t be right. One is right. One is wrong.

 

[Redux91]

I'm actually NOT pissed about the 3 goalies lol
I trust Gorton when it comes to G, and we nabbed 3 pretty good ones and one of them HAS to "hit" lol, at least 1 god please
Happy for the MTL kid tho
