Prospect Info: 2023 NHL Draft Thread

[Guttersniped]

Can we all agree we wanted San Jose to get it?

I wanted Arizona but I’m weird like that. (I don’t want to debate this anymore, please don’t yell at me.)

 

[Oneiro]

It’s Chicago, they be able to rebuild quickly around him.

They’re starting from Korchinski, Nazar, Reichel - not really that much. It’s gonna be a long rebuild even with him.

 

[DerekDevils30]

“Uhhhh Kevin. Wrong line.”

 

[Emperoreddy]

He's out West for the decade at least that's all that matters.

Oh yeah I'm not losing a single minute of sleep over this

 

[Captain3rdLine]

Chicago is the most perfect option because the team is most ruined.

Disagree. They’re also rebuilding the best. Have an absurd amount of picks coming up.

9.5 mil NMC anchor for the next 7 years. They're not doing anything

I love Nazar though he barely got to play this season. Reichel took steps.

They just got a huge piece, they just need to be a little patient.

Bedard is gunna demand max salary on his 2nd deal too, book it. Unless he busts...then yea, they're not doing anything in that case either lol.

They have a ton of picks, will have a generational player, cap space and are a destination market for players. They will go through one or two year of being bad and then become a playoff contender.

Yea I would've prefered SJ or Arizona but I'm fine with this. Anaheim would've been lethal.

They’re early in it but with how many picks they have coming up and now this they’re in a phenomenal rebuild position.

 

[Guttersniped]

Some leaks on twitter that the Flyers won, let's hope those aren't true

What they are actually having in compare with Ducks or Columbus? They are in miles away.

Uhhh they’re extremely early. Those draft picks won’t be contributing for a while. As other’s have mentioned they have a 9.5M anchor.

They’re starting from a good spot but it most likely takes more than 1-2 years.

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

They’re early in it but with how many picks they have coming up and now this they’re in a phenomenal rebuild position.

Only if they actually take advantage of it. Remember, the oilers should have 10 cups by now with how many high draft picks they've had.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Man we really got some crazy lotto luck when you think of some of these teams who have been bad for what seems like forever and never got to move up

 

[Captain3rdLine]

I’d way rather be the Blackhawks than Columbus. Look at the amount of draft picks they have coming up. Gonna take a bit of time but they couldn’t be in a much better position for a great rebuild.

 

[Hisch13r]

It really sucks that there's 3 great centers this year rather than just the 2. Really wish Columbus dropping to 3 meant they don't get their future 1C

From the Chicago games I caught this year Reichel impressed me, he looked good with some scrub linemates. He may be the biggest winner of the draft lottery results

4 lottery wins from 2011-2022 lol

That’s always how it is. Have to hit on the picks but the first step is having them and they definitely do

Seth Jones is really not that bad. I bet his analytics look better on a better team.

 

[Lou is God]

As someone who lives in Chicago I'm happy, because I'll actually have a reason to go to the games again.

Feels super rigged though lol

If this was rigged he would be going to Arizona
