2023 NHL Entry Draft

[Riggins]

if we don't get a Top 5 then we will be a average team again for many fuccking years.
So NO don't be it

We'd rather be top 5 obviously but you never know which spot will win the lotto. We could finish #6-8 and boom, win the lotto and pick 1st or 2nd. I'm determined not to freak over a few draft spots this year.

if we come out of this season with a big year from Suzuki, 35+ goals from Caufield and feeling confident Guhle is a top pairing D and Dach is a top 6 forward... let the pick fall where it may. It's going to be top 10 regardless and there are a LOT of good players to choose from this time around.

Guess we should trade Caufield and Dach like Chicago did.

 

[Mrb1p]

You guys worry for nothing. The team is 2-2, they wont finish outside the top 5 unless they lose the lotsrry.

Guaranteed one of
Bedard
Carlsson
Michkov
Yager
Fantili
Dvorsky
Allen

 

[NotProkofievian]

3A for Carlsson tonight. He's a monster.

MTL Pick #7 = Eduard Sale / Leo Carlsson
Panthers Pick #22 = Maxim Strbak
MTL pick #40 = Michael Hrabal

These would be my picks in 2023

Hopefully we get a other first pick by a trade at the deadline and get Lukas Dragicevic

 

[Peteux]

Ekblad is hurt for a little while. I can't help but think about what we could fetch if Panthers sink this year. Coule be a very epic draft.

Saw this, there d is gonna have to step up and play above if they even have a shot. Don’t even need them to sink just need them to finish as a bubble team really

If he is out like 2 months, it could hurt them alot...

I really liked what I saw from Strbak so far, could be a great pick at that spot.

Part of me is hoping the Panthers miss the playoffs, but man you never want players to get hurt. Gotta feel bad for Ekblad. It felt like he was finally « breaking out » last season, but the poor guy can’t catch a break injury wise.

Looks like 4-6 weeks with a groin pull.

For me I was saying to panthers fans all summer they were one injury away on d from disaster and I was assured they’d be fine. Now they could still be a great team and fine but huge risk.

Looks like 4-6 weeks with a groin pull.

Plus not being back to normal all season

We don’t have our 2nd rd pick we traded it way in the deal for Dvorak, we have Colorado but it will be closer to 60th than 40th. ***sorry we do have that pick it is the 2024 2nd that was traded, and Colorado 2024 2nd we received***

Those are also some of my targets, but based on my list I have them all ahead of where you are picking and they might still move up…
3-Carlsson 6-Sale 20-Strbak 32-Dragicevic 33- Hrabal

We have our own 2nd round pick this year. MB traded the 2024 pick in the Dvorak trade not 2023, fortunately for us.

HuGo got us a new 2nd in 2024 with the Lehkonen trade.

Wait so we paid a 1st AND a 2nd for Dvorak?? looool man that was an horrendous trade.

I'm really looking for the following in this draft:

Our 1st - has to be the most elite offensive talent available. Most likely going to be a center.
FLA 1st - We need to find a LHS sniper.
Other 1st (Hughes wants another one) - Best available RHD.
Habs 2nd - Jacob Fowler or Hrabal. Heir apparent in net.

All depending on who available as RD with the 2nd 1st round pick we will make.

We're 100% getting another first rounder at the deadline or even before that, from Dvorak/Anderson/Monahan/Edmundson/Dadonov. As soon as we get a first rounder offer basically, a la Toffoli. HuGo probably likes all 4 of them a fair amount by they've been consistent so far in setting an objective and sticking to it.

A future pairing of Mailloux Guhle would be so awesome. He just needs to stay healthy with that shoulder.

If we pick between 5-10 I’d love to get Cam Allen from Guelph. Physical, good skater and good shot.

Our Defense would look so stacked with Guhle, Mailloux, Allen as the top 3

Would rather get an elite forward in the 5-10 range vs. Allen.
