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.

Hope we can get a winger with star potential, it's the one thing our rebuild lacks.

With the mass collection of prospect defensemen we have developing, we could be using one or two of them to acquire top-6 NHL wingers in the near future.

 

[GunnarStahl]

The guys who I have already earmarked as interesting and worth watching are Carlsson, Sale, Haltunnen, Barlow, Stramel and Perreault. Sale is especially fun from my viewings

Would love for this draft to cap off our rebuild drafts with a bang. Get a first for Klingberg and use our 2nds to get another. Having 3 1sts here would be awesome

that's ridiculous strength, especially for that age.

Yeah, that second one takes some balance and agility as well. Impressive.

Bump. We will be in contention for Bedard. I expect this to be a popular thread the further the season goes on.

You go from one extreme to another. It’s only game two. We are not in the race for Bedard.

Idk well land somewhere between 5-10 imo. Which is fine, so many talented players in that range... team still needs more talent... unfortunately we dont have too many assets to sell at the deadline.

Unfortunately was terrible asset management not moving gibson.... if the plan was move Manson Lindholm Des and rakell... gibson shoulda been moved. Im not sure why so many people here felt the need to keep him.

If we land at 5 we have a chance at Bedard. Unless something changes there's not a f***ing chance there's 9 worse teams than us.

Ill see how we look after 15-20 games... there is a lot of new players in the line up. Like obviously we arnt a playoff team. But i dont think were worst in league either...

The worst team is not the only one with a chance of Bedard.

I hope that dream of bedard works out for you

I hope that dream of bedard works out for you

Did I say that? I said we will be in contention because of how bad this team is.

 

[bsu]

Averaging 14 shots a game wtf.... then take into account his team is putrid... insane.

I mean, Bedard is really good, so I hope it works out for all of us lol.

This draft is hyper stacked at forward

Bedard, Michkov, Fantilli, and Carlsson are all pretty easy projections for top line roles.

And Sale, Dvorsky, Yager, Benson have that potential as well.

Absolutely stacked.

Absolutely stacked.

He's a legit #1 guy any other year, not all that different from the McDavid/Eichel dynamic

I don't know if he's on that tier but he's definitely better than anything offered last draft.

 

[bsu]

and draws a penalty lol

this looks like something that would happen to the Ducks.
