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

[spfan]

As a Kings fan I can assure you they are not.

I'm not saying they're the cup favourites, but I think they're a pretty good team. Clarke is excellent.

 

[CamPopplestone]

I wouldn't be surprised if we take Honzek at 16

 

[zombie kopitar]

70 flex as a pro player seems ridiculous , are there any other NHL players using that low? (Bedard says he uses 71/72 in interview for context)

 

[JPeeper]

Flames up next, I expect to trade down at least twice before we pick.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Poile should have congratulated himself

The Smashville line was good enough.

 

[Woodrow]

good pick

 

[William H Bonney]

Wood is a beanpole. It'll be interesting to see how much he fills out in a few year

 

[JPeeper]

70 flex as a pro player seems ridiculous , are there any other NHL players using that low?

Johnny Hockey uses a Jr stick with like a 65 flex or something ridiculous.

Kessel uses a 65

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Picked it,Wood is a good pick! Hope he stays in College another 2 years then make the move! Was hoping he would slide to the Kraken but maybe it was wishful thinking

 

[TheBeard]

YOUR NEWEST SHASH-HOLE, MATTHEW WOOD

 

[Bozo Nicholson]

That's a big ole boi.

 

[SI90]

Calgary pick is going to request a trade at the podium

 

[flames23]

I wouldn't be surprised if we take Honzek at 16

This is who I expect and think he's a solid prospect.

 

[spfan]

I wouldn't be surprised if we take Honzek at 16

Could. I'm a tad surprised he wasn't already taken. I thought he was gonna get really over valued for his size. I personally am pretty low on him.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Quite a few scoring wings play with that. With Centers and more defensive players, it's a non-starter.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Flames will take...Perreault

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Thats allot of goals in a short tournament.

 

[TimeZone]

The losers of the draft so far are the Habs

Not close

Zona is right there with them

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.

I get it, but they've been the "team with the brightest future" for well over half a decade, at some point you need results. I think they have a lot of talent, but I'm certainly not willing to say they have the brightest future of all the teams in the entire league, I don't know if I'd put them top 5, not until they show me something, anything, even a WC sneak.

I'm not sold on Simachev either, he's got some tools, but I think if you're drafting that high, picking a guy with middle pair upside is pretty f***ing absurd, I don't think he'll ever be a legitimate top pairing guy and that's pretty shameful for a #6 pick in a very deep draft as far as ceiling goes.

 

[Sol]

How corny. Dude gets drafted and they ask him about Bedard? Idiots.

 

[zombie kopitar]

Okay that tracks

Kessel uses a 65

that doesnt

 

[Woodrow]

lol these Bedard highlights are ridiculous

 

[NYR94]

Bad form asking this kid about Bedard, let him have his moment

 

[Kcb12345]

How corny. Dude gets drafted and they ask him about Bedard? Idiots.

Honestly a rude question like this is his moment lol sure let's take the attention off of him back to the guy who has had his for a while

As.a beer league hero I don't get it. I'd kill to learn the bow and arrow technique
