GDT: 2023 NHL Entry Draft Day 2 Rounds 2-7 - 11AM ET, ESPN, ESPN+

[GoAwayPanarin]

Leave him in college for 2 years.

Sometimes a good strength program is all it takes.

 

[MrAlmost]

This is a different front office. They really are not overthinking it which is finally great to see. Fantastic.

 

[Savant]

He talks weird.

It's like he's speaking English in French.

He looks like Napoleon Dynamite

 

[glr1926]

Good to get a second right wing in the organization

 

[bl02]

Why?

Offensive instinct with puck on his stick.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

So supposedly he's high IQ. That's actually what we need more of.

He makes passes that few even see on the ice. Finds lanes that aren't there.

Still looking for my sniper xD

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

Now when people suggest Lafreniere needs a skating coach to get to the next level they can also suggest a group rate for him and Perreault.

And Othmann, and Kakko lol. Still, at this point in the draft, you just want to get a player.

 

[ajdj10]

He's our next best orator after Trouba.

 

[turcotte8]

Emily Kaplan looks like a ferret from the side

The front too

 

[LaffyTaffy]

bad skater and not a C, but high IQ and brilliant playmaker. We’ll see if we can develop skating

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

LOVE it. He's probably Top 3 in the draft in terms of Hockey IQ

One of the ESPN analysts said he has THE top hockey IQ

 

[hockeyplayer999]

163 lbs. he is tiny and slow. Fits right in with rangers

 

[Savant]

Offensive instinct with puck on his stick.

I don’t see that comp at all

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

bad skater and not a C, but high IQ and brilliant playmaker. We’ll see if we can develop skating

We need a RW just as much as we need a C. Take the BP.

 

[Jacques Strap]

IQ is off the charts. Very happy. I still like Musty but.... Dan Muse influence.

 

[Savant]

163 lbs. he is tiny and slow. Fits right in with rangers

No one better on the board though. This guy should have gone in the teens

 

[GENESISPuck94]

He talks weird.

It's like he's speaking English in French.

Jean Girard from Talladega Nights.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

This was a great pick. Some of you can never be happy.

 

[ReleasO The KakkO]

His backchecking can be somewhat lazy, and it’s clear that he is an offensively-minded player.

Great. He can room with Panarin.

 

[Tob]

skates like stepan, talks like trouba.

 

[Savant]

IQ is off the charts. Very happy. I still like Musty but.... Dan Muse influence.

He’s better than Musty

 

[will1066]

Leave him in college for 2 years.

Sometimes a good strength program is all it takes.

LOL where is this supposed good strength program in our organization?

 

[duhmetreE]

Leave him in college for 2 years.

Sometimes a good strength program is all it takes.

If only we could have left Laffy go to college...

 

[Brief Candle]

I really want to see Othmann play this year. I think it's time.

 

[bl02]

I don’t see that comp at all

don't kill the messenger lol.
I'm just happy to able to get someone like this at 23.
