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

[Jacques Strap]

We are drafting the whole USNTDP team. Let's go.

 

[B17 Apricots]

Perron off the board

 

[True Blue 96]

ofc they go to commercial while the Rangers make their pick this isn't the first year I've noticed that

It has happened for decades. You see it all the time when the Giants or Knicks pick in the draft as well. They know NY has a massive audience and they drop the commercials before they pick.

Same thing with the schedule. Rangers play 22 games on Saturday this year with only 5 at home. The league forces them to play weekend games away because it’s almost guaranteed a sellout for the home team.

 

[NYR Viper]

Blackhawks clearly want some vets around their young players.

Goodrow...

 

[Jacques Strap]

Perron to Carolina

 

[EdJovanovski]

Yup.

 

[cheech70]

Fortescue....loose translation in Italian.." strong rescue".....good qualities to have in the Ranger system of play

 

[Savant]

Really liked Barkey. He is a Yanni Gourde clone

 

[duhmetreE]

He’s not a PMD. He’s defense first. Maybe he doesn’t treat the puck like a grenade, maybe he does, but he’s not a guy whose transition game stood out to me

would have preferred Luca. He's still there if we can somehow trade Goodrow for a 4th or 5th.

 

[EdJovanovski]

f***, Flyers get another steal. I had Barkey in the 1st round

 

[Savant]

Yup.

I remember when we took dmen that couldn’t score but at least they could skate

would have preferred Luca. He's still there if we can somehow trade Goodrow for a 4th or 5th.

Not happening

 

[ecemleafs]

christ ppl. its a f***ing 7th round pick to get the guy they clearly wanted above anyone else. the rangers havent drafted a player in the 7th round that was worth anything in 23 years.

 

[Jacques Strap]

got the pearl river kid!

Local kid.

 

[hardnosed]

seriously I don't get it lol - was the difference that miniscule that a 7th enticed them to trade down a spot?

Maybe some other team was talking to Pitt and Rangers were able to ace them out because Pitt would only drop down 1.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Blackhawks gonna make the playoffs

 

[rangersfansince08]

christ ppl. its a f***ing 7th round pick to get the guy they clearly wanted above anyone else. the rangers havent drafted a player in the 7th round that was worth anything in 23 years.

the bigger issue is this guy can't score or skate. what is he good at? being tall?

 

[B17 Apricots]

I like how the commentator when speaking about Perron's frame mentioned the Stanley cup match up being heavy and catered toward size but the Conn Smythe winner is Perron's size

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Larry b**ch slapping Vince who said the exact opposite earlier lmao

 

[frozenrubber]

So far Dan Muse is officially the Rangers entire 2023 scouting team

 

[duhmetreE]

Yup.

he's a stay-at-home so I wouldn't expect his skating to be elite. Can't be worse than Trouba's...

from what it sounds like he's 3-4 years out. By then who knows what our d-group looks like.

who's left?

I just want for once to get an elite skater, like WTF. We somehow luck into back to back 1st & 2nd overall picks and a perennial Norris level dman; and all of thems biggest weakness is their skating lmao. Can't make this shit up

 

[B17 Apricots]

Strathmann and Rykov gone

 

[EdJovanovski]

Canes get Rykov shit

 

[LeetchisGod]

Blackhawks gonna make the playoffs

Defense and goaltending still a big problem.

 

[ArPanet]

maybe Drury knew Rangers fans wouldn't get to see the team pick if they didn't kill time making a trade
