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

[A1LeafNation]

No trades..wtf.

 

[jj cale]

Can we stop asking every player or GM when we can expect the draftee to make the team? It's such a stupid question and you'll get nothing interesting in the answer.

It's the mother of all dead end questions you can ask these kids.

 

[The Tourist]

Geez Walt, mix in a salad every once in a while.

 

[SUX2BU]

And the crowd goes mild

 

[Fraser28]

Someone is going to get a real steal in Cristall.

 

[Czechboy]

Swedes again! Really great draft and they've been doing quite well at the U18's.. it's showing!

 

[Gainesvillain]

Damn, Easton Cowan is another great pick. Konecny-lite. Well done Leafs.

LOL at the people here thinking Carey Terrance would be picked before him.

 

[spfan]

Lindstein, Too low of upside

 

[Czechboy]

not sure what's lonelier tonight.. being an Oil fan or being a Czech fan.

 

[WhataKnight]

Why is he standing so close? LOL

 

[SUX2BU]

What a weird draft from the Yotes...

It’s the choice of suits

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

NO I WANTED LINDSTEIN FOR FLAMES 2nd rounder

 

[ChiHawks10]

Kaplan should be fired, honestly. This entire broadcast team should never do one again. The production and broadcast are on par with a high school news broadcast. Just awful.

 

[Gainesvillain]

If I was limited to pick London Knights, I still wouldn't pick him. Denver Barkey is way underrated.

They don't call them the 'twins' for nothing, but if you watched the playoffs - especially when it got heavy vs the Petes - Cowan all the way.

 

[spfan]

Someone is going to get a real steal in Cristall.

It was very likely he'd fall. And there's certainly high bust potential, but his upside is among the highest in the draft. Teams are crazy to not take the swing.

 

[OilersFanatics505]

Coat check girl is the unsung hero of the draft

 

[William H Bonney]

I'm hope the shine of data "science" in the NHL wears off; otherwise we're looking at a future where the commentators barely watch the games but feels confident enough to make declarative statements like "based on the data, XYX is a comparable."

 

[spfan]

And yet Barkey is gonna go like 104th or something.

I hope Colorado takes a swing with that pick from Montreal

 

[Chileiceman]

I'm stuck watching ESPN broadcast. It is atrocious. Meghan Chayka is supposed to be some kind of expert who has likely never seen any of these players play before. No one had anything to say about Theo Lindstein.

 

[Bounces R Way]

I don't think that's going to happen. Data is the new oil.

Advanced analytics in the NHL are mostly trash, anyways.

 

[VivaLasVegas]

Merely watching to see if Vegas' pick this year will be able to put on his jersey before he is traded.

It's so bad. I don't know if I've ever seen a worse sports broadcast, in all honesty.

 

[William H Bonney]

Unfortunately true. The data quality in advanced stats is so poor and the analytical conclusions are usually worse.
