NHL Entry Draft 2023 NHL Draft Thread

[Icelevel]

So we drafted 2 more Ben Rogers? Lmao this team

no not at all

 

[Gil Gunderson]

This might be the most uneventful draft I've seen

Yeah, after the first 7 picks this draft blew.

 

[Icelevel]

25 picks away from our 7th round domination

 

[Ouroboros]

Hell yeah. Bout that time for the Sens to make 3 elite 7th round picks.

 

[Cosmix]

Senators honestly have a good young core but it honestly pisses me off what they’ve done with the draft when I compare with Buffalo. Giving away picks or wasting top 10s on freaking Tyler Boucher

I dislike our bottom 6 a lot, then we are losing Cat and Giroux isnt gonna play for ever. They better wake up

Management still has work to do…

Ownership has work to do!

Okay for the sens special in the 7th round I predict our picks to be.

1 QMJHL player that was mostly injured last season.
1 high schooler that wasn't even ranked.
1 overager that's playing in an obscure American league.

 

[Cosmix]

I suspect that Habs fans heads must have exploded between the brief period where the 4th pick took place, Michkov is available, and Price goes up there and forgets what the hell is going on, and ends up selecting Reinbacher.

3 years is nothing.

Was Kaprisov not ample evidence that bringing a guy in at 23 is no sacrifice?

Worth the wait.

I'm concerned about Price; I think he has some health issues.

I'm feeling a 6'6" freak Swede that isn't even producing in the J20 league, a Euro goalie nobody is even sure actually exists, and a USHL overager.

mtl takes luke mittelstadt

philly takes M Mann (at least that avoids a potentially awkward decision)

 

[Ouroboros]

Philly takes Matteo Mann. Nice to see him drafted.

 

[Cosmix]

This board would be doing the same if we passed on Michkov for someone else

Heck our board blew up when we took Boucher over Sillinger and everyone else in round 1

How's Boucher doing?

 

[Ouroboros]

At 204 Sens take Owen Beckner form the BCHL

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Dorion has abandoned the overager union.

 

[Icelevel]

At 204 Sens take Owen Beckner form the BCHL

6'2" all the way. The ideal size for nhl right now (imo)

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Sens go back to the BCHL

 

[Cosmix]

I can't believe they wanted Shane Wright he's brutal. Watched him a bunch in his draft year surprised he didn't slip further than 4th. I don't think this is similar to last year Slafkovsky was the right choice.

Reinbacher is going to be a solid d man. But man they missed on a true offensive stud. They don't have one.... they don't. The timeline on Michkov is also perfect for them. They had 9 picks gotta swing for the fences once in a while.

Shane Wright seemed disinterested and sluggish for a top pick.

 

[Ouroboros]

At 207 Sens take Vladimir Nikitin.

Obscure Euro goalie, baby!

 

[Icelevel]

goalie! gotta do it

 

[Cosmix]

Yeah...having 1 or 2 little guys (especially at forward) won't sink a team. But you do need to surround the little guys with good size, skill, and the willingness to be physical.

Not to mention tough and mean when necessary.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Kazakhstan U20 lol

Very nice!

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Did we deadass just draft someone from the Kazakh league?

Looks like he's going to the BCHL too!

 

[Ouroboros]

Are you really even a scout if you aren't watching Kazakh U20 games?

 

[Masterplan]

Here's a good strategy by PD, pick guys with no online profiles so the internet trolls can't have an opinion....

 

[SensBrawler]

Really want this guy to pan out. Would be hilarious if we went all these years trying to find our goalie of the future and we eventually one in.....Kazakhstan.

 

[Icelevel]

jimmy clark. wouldn't have minded him over the goalie boy
