2023 NHL Entry Draft

[BigDaddyLurch]

We need to be atrocious again. We need it so bad. The tank to end all tanks.

The C class looks very promising.

...the only thing stopping us will be Arizona & Chicago, the tankiest of the tankers...

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

Yeah, their goaltending needs crash hard!

Having an unprotected 1st in this draft for Chiarot is crazy.

...Barkov injury, Huberdeau to come back to Earth, and Bob to stink up the joint (and Spencer Knight still not ready) and we're laughin'...right...right?!?...

 

[Takeru]

We will pick top 10 and who knows on red flags, Michkov for sure becuase of his contract and geopolitical situations.

It’s settled, let’s draft michkov then.
Ensures the continuation of the tank and will come over for the Kaprizov effect in 25-26 en route to our next cup

 

[Jabba11]

Connor Bedard is too small, doesn't fit in our team. We big now

 

[Doublechin]

Concerning the tank next year, I think the Hawks and Coyotes will be top in their class. I could potentially see the Flyers and Sharks being close to them unless either goes on a UFA frenzy. We should be a bit further behind.

I think Ottawa, Jersey and Buffalo all take a step in the right direction while Seattle remains close to where it was this year.

The only way we do way better than expected is if Price somehow plays 50 55 games and Slafkovsky, Suzuki and Caufield all take a big step up

Right now our D core is what's going to keep us In it

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

[Nedved]

TANK HARD FOR BEDARD



wow, looking at this, we did good not picking a center this year.

especially since Michkov is very risky with the Russian business

They are all C's lmao

We're not guaranteed to get Bedard but we surely will pick in the Top 8

Only thing that will be left to find is a #1D, hopefully the Panthers suck balls this year, or we can get another good 1st round pick by trading Petry/Anderson

michkov and bedard are being compared to ovy and Crosby.

 

[Legend123]

Habs need to spread the memo: slay cats for taps. And we draft mychkov and Bedard.

The 2022 draft is pretty sad when u think at least 3 of the top 2023 prospects would have gone 1oa in the 2022 draft

 

[Kaladin]

Dvorsky is slovakian? Say no more.

I'm in.

 

[NotProkofievian]

Bedard's too small, doesn't play a 200 ft game, bad lockerroom guy, could fall to the 2nd round IMHO AINEC tbh.

 

[MasterMatt25]

Any potential number 1 D types in this draft? In the event we are not picking top five, but rather 6-10, and the centres and Michkov would be gone, who has the best chance of being a 1D?

Doesn't look to be a strong draft for defense

 

[tooji]

Dvorsky is slovakian? Say no more.

I'm in.

Slaf - Dvorsky - Mesar

 

[SOLR]

Theo Lindstein 2 way / Hunter Brzustewicz (in a pronger way)

 

[caufieldbeerman]

Let's say we redo the draft with all the players available for 2022 and 2023. Where Nemec , Slaf and Wright would rank ?

Would it be ?

1. Bedard
2. Michkov
3. Slaf
4. Nemec
5. Cooley
6. Wright

 

[Kaiden Ghoul]

Bedard
Michkov
Yager
Fantilli

I feel Yager would be more versatile to us with his strong two way game and he can play everywhere.

Lets be honest the chance are ultra slim to none to have Bedard, we have to finish last and a team out of the something like top 11 must win the lottery, if we win this with a more or less of 1.5 pourcent, i will laugh my life.

Suzuki-Yager
Slaf-Dach-Caufield

1 big line who can score and a pure playmaker
Suzuki and Yager could be a pain to play against, 2 high iq player

Im on the Yager train

 

[SOLR]

Bedard's too small, doesn't play a 200 ft game, bad lockerroom guy, could fall to the 2nd round IMHO AINEC tbh.

I AM SO OFFENDED.

 

[morhilane]

The first two are accurate.

I wouldn't discount him being another Bo like Wright.

1. Bedard
2. Michkov
3. Slaf
4. Nemec
5. Cooley
6. Wright

More like, Slaf 10th overall like Rantanen

Bedard (2023)
Michkov (2023)
Yager (2023)
Carlsson (2023)
Fantilli (2023)
Dvorsky (2023)
Ritchie (2023)
Sale (2023)
Benson (2023)
Slaf (2022)
Brzustewicz (2023)
Lindstein (2023)
Nemec (2022)
Musty (2023)
Haltunnen (2023)
Wood (2023)
Savoie (2022)
Cooley (2022)
Wright (2022)
Heidt (2023)
Smith (2023)
Gulyayev (2023)
Jiricek (2022)
Dragicevic (2023)
Danielsson (2023)

2024 looks weaker than 2023 already.

 

[HomeAndHome]

We need Bedard in order to round out the PP! Caufield, Hutson, Bedard with Slaf will be hilarious in a few years

 

[NotProkofievian]

I am so pumped to see what Leo does this year. His confidence with the puck as a 17 year old in SHL last year was something special. I haven't seen that kind of chutzpah in a Swedish prospect since Dahlin.

I’m also looking forward to see what he does on his draft year. Very high on him.

 

[BenchBrawl]

Huge difference between the 1st overall and the 2nd overall in most years. We see all these guys as a great crop, but the season hasn't started yet.

Bedard seems like the real deal.

We need luck on our side, one more time.

 

[Clearedwaivers]

Theo Lindstein 2 way / Hunter Brzustewicz (in a pronger way)

A Pronger type would be a welcome addition for sure.

Dvorsky
Cooley
Wrighter
Slafkovsky
Haltunnen
Benson
Nemec
Lindstein

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Probably win a few games and draft 12th
