2023 NHL Entry Draft

[Deebs]

The consolation prizes this year are just insane. People should just realize that. It's not about having the 1st overall pick. It,s about having a high pick in the RIGHT year.

Yep. A top 5 pick is gold this year

 

[Mrb1p]

If there's one thing Yager can do, it's grip it and rip it.

Hes insanely hard on it too.

Top 7**

Top 7**

8

Fantilli or Carlsson would be amazing for what we already have in place. Big, LH #1C. At this stage I would take the Michkov gamble 4th overall. That will probably change depending on what the likes of Yager, Dvorsky, etc. do for the rest of the year.

The East looks really strong this year top to bottom. I think it's us vs.Philly for last. The West has 4-5 garbage teams but at least they pick up points against each other. If we have a 70 point season we should be in solid shape for the lottery. Now would be a good time for one of our patented 10 game losing streaks.

some shifts from Matthew Wood (#71 blue)

I should have a vid on Fantilli's game from last night soon.

[Sagikev]

Nice, gonna try to catch it

Lmao amazing avatar

 

[montreal]

there's some shifts from Hunter Brzustewicz (#4 white), Carson Rehkopf (#16 white), wasn't paying much attention to the Sudbury guys though so they may be there or not.

 

[montreal]

Was watching Beck's game from last night, Zakary Lavoie is off to a hot start, went undrafted last year but if he keeps putting the puck in the net he won't get passed over again I'm guessing.

YOU HAD 1 THING TO DO

 

[Riggins]

Anyone still down on Fantilli?

4 pts tonight, up to 15 in 6 games now. Guess he wants to challenge Eichel's draft year (71 in 40).

Nope, he's answered every question I had.

My questions are all about how he scales not how he does at this level.

Sweet lord baby Jesus let us get one of Bedard/Fantilli/Carlsson/Yager/Michkov

I think we must no? The only clear teams worse than Habs to be are sharks, hawks and coyotes. Maybe Seattle too. Plus they all play in a weaker conference together so they will share points.

Then I see Montreal and Philly in the east. So absolute worst case we land #6 in this scenario.... unless islanders/devils/jackets decide to shit the bed this year too. Still too early to tell

Be sweet if we could ever draft Fantilli. With what we have in farm now. Real sweet

Thats sick, by comparison, Cooley in his D+1 has 6 pts in 5 games...

 

[SlafySZN]

Bedard jinxed the Canucks when he said they would win the cup this season.

Now they have no wins and 2 loss in OT to start the season. He must happy, his favorite team could be in a good position to draft him

 

[HabzSauce]

If we do draft top 5 and land one of the Centers...

How do we handle our C position in 2-3 years? 2023 1st + Suzuki + Dach + Beck. Would be tough to manage minutes especially if our 2023 center is elite/franchise.

This isn't the thread for it but Dach would be gonzo by then.

Like they did trading a defenceman for a centre, they will trade a centre for a defenceman. It’s a good problem to have.

Suzuki will be one of our top 6 centers.
Beck our 3rd line center.
1 of Dach or the 2023 1st will play center and the other play wing.
Its a nonissue.
