GDT: 2023 NHL Entry Draft Rounds 2-7 - 10AM ET, ESPN, ESPN+, SN

[Devils Trap]

Corey Pronman says he expects the Ducks to go Leo Carlsson at #2 now

 

[Frank the Tank]

Will the Bobfather leak every pick before they are made like he did last year?

I don't blame him if he's frozen out of the ESPN broadcast again.

 

[TJHKY]

Caps will pick Michkov

 

[EquivalentStay]

Hope Montreal takes him


Bedard is going to be great I just hate the Black Hawks ever since cheapo owner Wirtz they let Bobby Hull go to Winnipeg

Considering their fanbase is saying the 5OA would be 1OA in the last ten years, if they pass on Mich, everyone is going to laugh in their faces, which is business as usual though.

 

[um]

Caps will pick Michkov

I don't doubt Caps will want to pick Michkov, I'm just not sure if teams picking 4-7 will all pass him up.

I give it a 10% chance he falls that far.

 

[Leonardo87]

Still curious if Anaheim goes with Fantilli or Carlsson, there doesn't seem to be 100% certainty with that.

[BuiumSaveUs]

Feels like this draft has been years in the making

 

[EquivalentStay]

Come on down 1OA Ryan Leonard!

 

[ViD]

My bold prediction: there will be a Russian player picked in round 3-4 who becomes a superstar and everyone will be asking how in the world he wasnt drafted earlier ?

 

[abo9]

Can't wait to see where Zachary LeTriste goes

 

[EdJovanovski]

Corey Pronman says he expects the Ducks to go Leo Carlsson at #2 now

They clearly saw my write up on him, some say teams around the league have been rewriting their lists after seeing EdJovanovski’s Official Draft Ranking.

12. Adam Fantilli - C, Michigan, NCAA Perhaps my most controversial take, but Adam Fantilli possesses the same opposite Benjamin button syndrome that Lafreniere did. Fantilli has already peaked physically, and 3 years ago he already looked not a day shy of 35. Pic below is over 3 YEARS AGO

20-21 U18
Bedard 7-7-14 in 7GP
Michkov 12-4-16 in 7GP

21-22 U18
Bedard 6-1-7 in 4GP
Michkov 5-8-13 in 5GP

21-22 U20
Bedard 4-4-8 in 7GP
Michkov 3-0-3 in 2GP

Total
Bedard 17-12-29 in 18GP (1.6 PPG)
Michkov 20-12-32 in 14GP (2.3 PPG)

For reference, Fantilli didn't even make any of those teams at that age. Fantilli had 5pts in 7GP at the U20 the YEAR AFTER those U20’s I posted for Bedard & Michkov, in a more depleted tournament in terms of talent.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Todays the day

Todays the day Habs pass on Michkov LOL

 

[LemonSauceD]

Pls draft Benson or Simashev Canucks

There is something to the idea that you should draft based on who is the biggest babyface, assuming that player's parents don't also have babyfaces.

 

[Flamesfan62]

Wood or Perreault please

 

[SUX2BU]

Happy Tapioca day

Wirtz and the Blackhawks should draft Michkov, and he should straight up pull a Lindros.

 

[EddieTheEagle]

Wirtz and the Blackhawks should draft Michkov, and he should straight up pull a Lindros.

Okay...

 

[MichaelFarrell]

Who’s nervous? Nothing gets me more nervous than the NHL daft.

 

[jkutswings]

Wirtz and the Blackhawks should draft Michkov, and he should straight up pull a Lindros.

Oh come on now...

It doesn't specifically have to be Michkov that pulls a Lindros on Chicago.

 

[Aoko]

On this day the Treaty of Versailles, peace document signed at the end of World War I by the Allied and associated powers and by Germany in the Hall of Mirrors in the Palace of Versailles, France, on June 28, 1919

Did you really have to say "On this day" and June 28th?

Hey look our entire fanbase is saying this!!

Every fanbase has morons bud. Habs have a lot of them given it’s a pretty big one.

I can’t even tell what team you cheer for..quick search just seems to make you someone who likes to hate the Habs more than cheer for anyone else.

 

[ellja3]

If the draft officially starts at 7pm ET, how long until they're done with, say, first 10 picks?

European asking for a friend.
