GDT: 2023 NHL Draft

[Joe Hallenback]

Jets going all big team drafting Jacob Julien 6'4 center from the London Knights

 

[None]

Another can't teach size pick.

 

[Daximus]

Jacob Julien 6'4, 181 lb center playing for London in OHL.

 

[BobTheSolarsystem]

We generally draft well high taking fallers. Barlow was ranked pretty highly and dropped to us at 18 so we just sort of take advantage there.

Well we got 2 picks coming up here. Absolutely no idea who we are looking at.

Almost all teams draft well in the first round... we haven't hit a diamond in a long time

If we want to compete, we need a scouting system like Dallas - I don't understand our strategy anymore

 

[Sweech]

Well all the moaners about not taking Canadians and big kids can have their dessert now. Let's see how it works out though.

 

[None]

Pionk's younger brother goes to Minnesota.

Until their hits in the 2017 draft, Dallas had a pretty shit drafting record, even in the 1st round.

 

[Gabe Kupari]

At this point, 5th round. Who are some of you kidding

 

[Daximus]

Almost all teams draft well in the first round... we haven't hit a diamond in a long time

We actually hit well above average in the first round.

 

[Sweech]

I thought this was a deep draft? Did it just die after the 2nd round or is it just us?

I hate to slam picks I've never watched but these guys don't project as successes whatsoever.

 

[Daximus]

Solid pick here with Milic. Smaller goalie but the kid is highly athletic.

 

[Joe Hallenback]

Nabbed Millic

 

[None]

I'm fine with the late flyer on Milic. Would've preferred Conmy with one of the 5ths.

 

[JetsFan815]

Jets pick their goalie right on schedule Thomas Milic at eliteprospects.com

Pretty good stats for Seattle, though size might be a concern.

 

[tbcwpg]

Thought Milic would go around here. Milic and DiVincentiis is a decent younger prospect pool.

 

[Sweech]

Pionk's brother just got taken.

 

[Rheged]

Well Milic as the token goalie is nice at least.

 

[surixon]

Seem to be going for all out size this draft. Don't like it as this is what got us into trouble after 2015.

 

[MardyBum]

Julien is one of the oldest players in the draft too. Blehh. Milic is a nice flier though.

 

[Daximus]

Milic is a surprising pick from the Jets but kid has been really good! Led Team Canada to Gold at WJC, Seattle to Memorial Cup. Kids a gamer.

 

[surixon]

I like the goalie pick. Overager but had a fantastic year last year and can go pro this fall.

 

[MardyBum]

Ayyy @superdeluxe

 

[Daximus]

The nice thing about Milic is he is likely ready to turn pro now, could start with the Moose as early as next year.

Honestly that probably doesn't even matter. He couldn't even make the USHL.

Boo, Hurricanes get Perron.

Some player's come from family culture where education comes first...

Probably that is why the NCAA choice... imo...
