2023 NHL Entry Draft

[NewEraGM]

We need to finish bottom 10, correct? (to be in the lottery for the 1st or 2nd or 3rd overall). I'm 99% sure about this, but not 100% sure, yet!

Finishing outside of the bottom 10 won't get us in the lottery..I assume.
(really hoping for a top 10 pick! or...playoffs! nothing in between! hoping for a shot at the lottery..to move up to 1st or 2nd or 3rd overall!! Bedard or Fantilli or Carlsson).

Thanks/cheers (ahead of time for any info on this).

That’s incorrect.

You’re still in lottery if you’re 15th or something but if you win, you only jump to 5th, not 1st.

It's originally Florida's pick, but it's owned by us at the time of the lottery. Not sure what logic applies here. Original ownership vs. ownership at the time of the lottery. One thing for sure, trading for a 1st will become popular for rebuilding teams if it allows them to bypass the rule.

Trading for a 1st is popular now. Majority of 1st round trades are top 10 protected - even the Eichel trade it was. Vegas just sucked last year, so it ended up 13th instead of 20+ like they expected.

This is the 1st test of the "2 wins" standard. It's extremely rare that teams don't protect their 1st, when they don't it usually bites them in ass.

Florida giving up Fantilli in the Chiarot trade

It could happen. You never know.

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

It could happen. You never know.

would be a trade we would talk about for the next decade Fantilli ( potentiel 1 C ) for a few games of Chiarot

 

[Team_Spirit]

How many time did they hit refresh?

Just let me have this ok

 

[JotAlan]

Does anyone have a top 10 highest ceiling players in this draft?

 

[HuGort]

If we snag one of Bedard/Fantill/Carlsson/Michkov, I swear I won't complain about this team for an entire calendar year.

You more than likely dreaming. Before this win we draft 11&12th. I was hoping for Barlow and Heidt.

If Caufield misses some games, we are going to start sliding - we are really just over the edge, I'm fully expecting will get past the edge early January.

What do you mean?

Our only hope is Florida's pick at this point. Habs are finishing in that sweet spot of 12-16.

December 13...HuGo is going to start selling + injuries.

People are being overdramatic again. Reminds me of the time we were guaranteed to finish 11th last to give our 1st for Dvorak last year. Or how it was impossible for us to fall below Philadelphia and Chicago.

This team is not good, but our start will likely prevent us from a bottom 3 finish especially when there are teams like Anaheim, Columbus, and Chicago.

Simply stating my thoughts on where I think we will finish. We are 3/8's finished the season and it is right where we sit right now.

We haven't even gone through our hard stretch yet and injuries are pilling up, 1st line has cooled off, defense is showing its weakness, and goalies are wildly erratic. Don't know why you think Florida is in a better position to get a better 1st than us.

Smith gonna be outta reach too now

 

[Mrb1p]

Watching Reinbachers league play Im pretty amazed at the forecheck this league has? Holy shit it may be the most physical league in europe. He got absolutely hammered by a forechecker.

I havent watched a swiss prospect in years, really.

 

[SlafySZN]

Smith gonna be outta reach too now

Hope not.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Danill But? Et le but!

Honzek/Dvorsky Slovak watch I assume the Habs are scouting them heavily.

 

[Vachon23]

Smith gonna be outta reach too now

Where not gonna pick Will Smith with a top 3 pick

 

[WeThreeKings]

Smith gonna be outta reach too now

Daniil But at 10. Pronman always does something completely galaxy brained.

Anyone see Yegor Sidorov, he's lighting the dub on fire, 14 goals in 15 games, damn. He was passed over last year, 18 all year.

Grant found this year "I'm in love with this guy" selection. He will probably be #1/2 by the end of the season.
