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

[JPeeper]

Benson should have gone first overall in the draft just because of that haircut

Fixed it for you.

 

[scoopscj]

Great pick by Buffalo

 

[Mike C]

The Sabres are going to be a force to be reckoned with

Devon Levi baby!

 

[GOilers88]

The losers of the draft so far are the Habs

Not close

How do you figure?

 

[JeffP]

with these mullets and short ties, they might be better off opting to just skip the photos

 

[Sheppy]

I’d hang out with Zach Benson

 

[spfan]

I don't know if Simashev actually has a lot of high end potential though. His offensive production was pretty damn poor for a player selected in the top 15, let alone 6th.


Why would you think that in 2023?

Thompson, Dahlin, Power, Samuelsson, Levi, Benson, Savoie, Cozens etc.

Their youth and prospect pool is ridiculous.

Simashev is a very raw prospect. He's got the tools. I'm not saying he was nearly the right pick, but there is upside there and there is a strong likelihood that he's at least a 2nd pairing d-man too.

So we need to replace Crosby and Malkin eventually. Moore is a top 10 talent. Pens are also a slower team. Moore is the best skater in the draft. Come on, do it! Would be happy to pick ASP too though.

 

[brentashton]

And now they’re hiring carnies. Even scarier.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Cmon lets see some trades.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Benson is a boom or bust. He's tiny.

taller than Bedard, better skater too

 

[Scouter]

Huge nice surprise that CBJ get Fantilli after missing out on Bedard! Reinbacher maybe went a bit high to MTL. Really nice pick by the Flyers, I thought they might pick him! I hope Willander works out for Van, but he was taken pretty high, Barlow might be the better pick there.

 

[Gnashville]

ESPN has kicked Pittsburgh to the curb lol

 

[William H Bonney]

Did Price take over Bedard's body?

 

[Kcb12345]

Lmfaooo the awkward interrupt

 

[spfan]

That's funny, Yager was in a lot of mocks to Pens. I don't hate the pick, but it wasn't quite my BPA.

 

[William H Bonney]

Bucci just interrupting Bedard non-stop. World class panel.

 

[ViD]

How do you figure?

Passed on an opportunity to draft a generational winger talent

Could’ve traded down with the Flyers and still picked the Austrian

 

[Bandit]

Buffalo has a better future than anyone in the league in my opinion. And they just added an arguable top 5 talent in a strong draft.

People were saying that about the Kings 5-6 years ago and now everyone but Byfield and Clarke have been traded. You never know.

 

[Kcb12345]

Not sure it someone posted this but lmfao

 

[SI90]

I would say Moore to NSH but this draft is as drunk as Carey Price

 

[Ocoee]

They only drafted him because his last name sounds close to Jagr

 

[Deen]

Weird they don't have a chart or something on the side for best players still available like TSN did.

 

[Fraser28]

taller than Bedard, better skater too

Pretty much the exact same height actually.

 

[TheBeard]

YAGER-BOMB

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Penguins drafted a good one
