Prospect Info: 2023 NHL Draft (mod warning 1st post)

[Anaheim4ever]

Yeah i know its early but 2022 draft discussion started pretty quickly too last year.
So far its #1 Bedard and #2 Mitchkov but after that what are players you are interested in for the Ducks ?
I don't see Bedard falling like Wright did at all. Who will be this years Slaf and Cooley ?

Blanket warning to everyone - the season is over, the active tanking is over, and everyone needs to remember how to get along.

Polite discussions of different viewpoints is fine. Assertions as to who is a good fan, who is a bad fan, and most particularly trolling behavior is going to result in thread bans and warnings. The vast majority of posters here are great about this. There are a few of you, on both sides of this issue, who are trying to start things, and I would advise you to carefully consider if that snarky comment you just made is worth being your last post in a thread. I would advise the folks who think that making an even snarkier response to make that same assessment. Neither of your posts will be seen by anyone else for long regardless.

It is perfectly fine to not understand how anyone could root for the team to lose. It is perfectly fine to not understand how losing has strong benefits to the franchise king term. There are gaping holes in BOTH positions, that may be discussed and debated…POLITELY.

We are all Ducks fans. Time to remember that and stop being at each other’s throats.

You guys understand that Michkov is not only under contract in Russia until 2026 but also regarded as a star that the local elite wants to clutch onto? It's unclear if he'll ever even play in the NHL.

He will play in the NHL, this is an outlandish statement.

Our prospect cupboards could be overwhelmingly full in 2 years.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

We can then ship some of them for a Matthews rental in a couple years

It’s gunna be awkward if matthews doesn’t resign in off season….


Instead of leaf fans offering us crap for good players, they’ll be shipping matthews to Anaheim for all of our young players on trade boards

 

[GunnarStahl]

Sale creates a lot of offensive opportunities, a true dual threat.

I guess Alexei Emelin is going to have to fulfil his military duties shortly...

This Aron Kiviharju kid pops off the page for a 16 year old.... Wow he's going to be a stud.

 

[bsu]

Aron Kiviharju is going to be a stud.​

He could very well be the greatest player who ever lived…but he is not eligible until 2024. Off topic

ANAs 1st
Klingberg trade
Package a couple 2nd rounders

Trading for shit 1 yr contracts could get a couple firsts....

I feel like a lot of teams will go 2024 draft for that…. Unless you specifically mean on draft day like the mrazek and Kassian deals

 

[tomd]

IMO, the best chance for another 1st (in addition to flipping Klingberg at the TDL) is taking on Bailey's contract from the NYI.

 

[AngelDuck]

I’d be very down to take on Bailey. Why not? Has experience and don’t think he’s awful, just overpiad. Kind of reminds of Dadonov

I don't know man, the prices for these guys seem legit ridiculous. Teams with gobs of space must know that they have teams right up against the cap over a barrel and are trying to squeeze them for all the assets we can.

It's of no real concern to me though, the waiting game is only going to benefit us. Plus, as @lwvs84 pointed out in the Klingberg thread, we reached the cap floor with his signing and pretty much have a full roster already (with the exception of a face-punching 13th forward), so we don't really need to facilitate a trade, GMPV can pick his spot to maximize value.

there’s been a thread on him already, I didn’t even realize I was in it a year or two ago

We wont be in the running for him that year... we will def be trending up after this year.
