NHL Entry Draft 2023 NHL Draft Thread

[Nac Mac Feegle]

NHL typical.

Bet on yourself. Bet 99.

 

[Wallet Inspector]

We're gonna be stuck with 14 year old Blackhawks fans at our home arena forever now.

 

[LatteLarrys]

Ugh not the Hawks... Glad Bedard is going out west but ffs.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Zaitsev and Bedard .. good start

 

[ColinM]

Just keep Bedard out of the division, Montreal in particular.

at least we got that

 

[NyQuil]

Better Chicago than Columbus. Out of the conference.

And, he won’t dominate right away like he would have in Anaheim. I would have liked to have seen that team though.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Of course the Hawks win. Yet another team blessed with lottery luck.

Jumped 4 spots in 2007 and got Kane and jumped 9 spots in 2019 and took Dach.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Did Weekes just say the Jackets were 3rd?

Misdeal... do it over

 

[KingAlfie11]

Chicago had their dynasty . Total BS

Me thinks it's gonna take way more then Bedard for the Hawks to become a dynasty again Lol

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

McKenzie lottery edition had Michkov at 5 . Do the Habs take him if he's there?

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Really ugly look for the league. They should've lost their first rounder this year as part of their punishment. Instead they get a massive reward.

I wonder what Bedard and his parents think of all this. I wouldn't want my kid going to that team.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

So 12th overall plus 2 2nds for Chick

Sens have absolutely no draft capital or prospects and people want them to try and trade for a goalie.

Hilarious that Chicago got him. Hilarious how badly they botched the lottery. I mean I think we all knew he was going there didnt we?

I hope not. He is going to be an unbelievable player. They may luck into that one.

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

Top 2 picks are going out West. This was the most preferable outcome outside of Ottawa winning #2 overall. I couldn't care less which West coast team got Bedard.

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

Anyone but MTL. sucks it’s Chicago but whatever.

 

[bert]

...damn

That's a really good pick going to Arizona.

But people want to bring Pierre back. Debrincat is gone and Chyrchrun can leave in a couple years too lol. What a joke.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

In case you are wondering wtf happened to our picks. Not to worry our high end prospects are the envy of the league,

Debrincat (extended) and Chychrun > 7th and 12th overall.

Debrincat was last year. Don't bring him in here. I'm a little more concerned about the picks to get rid of players vs acquiring them

Fair enough, the money-in, money-out system has f***ed us too.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Have not date checked but it seems to me this proposed loss of a 1st would have happened last year. Not sure. Anyway I agree with the sentiment.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

I was kinda looking forward to see how far Chicago’s attendance issues go. They were heading towards pre-2008 territory with their lack of success.

 

[Rodzilla]

Id rather have Chychrun than the picks we gave up. Got to make the right moves to surround the core now and start winning. Wont have that luxury forever.


No justice tho, Chicago didnt deserve that.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Rigged.

To think that the lottery is rigged you'd need to believe the league intervened to ensure the Oilers, Devils and Sabres split 8 of 12 lottery wins from 2010-2021.

It's just sheer dumb luck.

 

[swiftwin]

Thank f***ing god he didn't go to Montreal.
