GDT: 2023 Upper Deck NHL Draft: 1st Round, June 28, 7 p.m. et | ESPN, SN, TVAS: Nashville, TN

[The Real Timo]

Leaving the draft with Newhook and Reinbacher just wtf

Welcome to another 10 years of mediocrity.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

We won't be tanking

Slafkovksy, Mesar, Reinbacher, and Newhook is a bad haul from two years of tanking.

I guess this ensures we're on the tankwagon next year. I really don't see how it's feasible.

We won't be tanking next year, but I don't see us that much better unless several young players take giant step forwards in their development, and not just Slafkovsky.

We need to half our man games lost to injury too.

I expect a 6-10 finish again.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Should've hired Briere. f*** Hughes.

Briere is a worthless effing moron. Flyers are going nowhere.

 

[OldCraig71]

Lots of people in this thread who think they know more about hockey than pro scouts. Also, these same people predicting the future.

There's no reason to be disappointed until these players have played in the NHL.

A lot of the people here have been watching the pros f*** things up for 30 years.

 

[Garo]

We will have an all defensemen team, that will be great.

Do we even have a right D that doesn't need to meet Bettman to make the team?

 

[Natey]

Beck and Hutson don't count in your ridiculous analysis.

He only named 1sts

 

[Canadienna]

Michkov was tailor made for Montreal

A skilled superstar to Hockey Mecca.

What is wrong with you ?

An Austrian defenseman ?!?

I'm glad you asked.

We're cursed.

 

[Boardish]

Last time I felt this bad was when we drafted McCarron.

I’m deeply disappointed, but truly, I don’t know anything.

 

[MadMslm]

I thought they would have Reinbacher and Leonard so close that they wouldn’t mind trading back with the Flyers.

I guess they

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Not as random, but a bit of a reach.

 

[Schooner Guy]

Slafkovksy, Mesar, Reinbacher, and Newhook is a bad haul from two years of tanking.

I guess this ensures we're on the tankwagon next year. I really don't see how it's feasible.

Nobody in this draft other than Bedard is going to help a team next year anyway. This isn't the NFL.

 

[Belial]

Wow that's a reach lol

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

This is what happens when u hire morons as scouts

Bobrov and Lapointe are both shit so was Gorton in NY

 

[Natey]

move up and get Benson... he's the smartest player in the draft.

Oh wait, we have nothing to move up with lol

 

[MarkovsKnee]

I had Detroit taking Nate Danielson. He's a good two-way player, with a high level of skill.

Have you seen our draft record for the past 20 years??? I definitely think we know more than they do.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

I'd love to hear what Hugo projects Reinbacher to be.

Better be a 1RD. If he's a #4 tho I'm going to be so disappointed

His projection is a number 1 RHD

 

[SOLR]

Move in, get Dvorsky right now.

 

[sampollock]

Piss me off

Small , weak and soft..

Good , same old

 

[atrud66]

Yzerman just picked his future 3C lol

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

I do love how the draft never goes how anyone expects it, all the experts are always wrong

 

[SnapVirus]

we picked Reinbacher because we got Matheson for a player like him.

we picked Reinbacher because he nicely answered our question about ww2

 

[Habs]

Reinbacher will still be very good. Just not game breaker good.

He's basically Josh Georges

 

[Pacciosoftie]

So why make a move to accelerate the rebuild by acquiring newhook and then select a dman that will take 3+ years to have an impact?

The kid said he had a second job as a recruiter and needs to work another year FFS. Also he has ZERO offense. He’ll top out as a #4 dman. Fkn morons

 

[Riddick412]

Trade up and steal Benson. Do it.
