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

[BJCOLLINS]

So folks time to prepare the mind…..

I’ll be giddy if Fantilli or Carlson fall, I’ll do a happy dance and you can Rock me with a slap me if we get Will Smith, I’ll be okay & alright with Michkov but then it’s damn “whatever“ if we trade for Philly #’s 7 & 22.

Okay this is not likely…..but I’ll move back to okay (with little happy dance) if Arizona trades #’s 6 & 12 OR we trade our pick for Arizona’s Cooley from last year.
Anything else and I’ll consider it another Kostitsyn debacle & rage for 20 years. Just getting ready folks, cheers.

this is why reading comprehension is important

i dont who that person is so there was no way for me to know if it was a real or fake account, doesnt change the fact about it being the right move to make.

 

[TT1]

imagine faking Frank Seravalli, i guess that's what makes it look even more legit

 

[Schooner Guy]

I predicted that scenario, but the more I think about, the less I see Grier gambling. Ex-goon, new GM, f***ing elated to have made it, started from the bottom now we here... he's going to pick the safe player (Carlsson).

Grier wasn't a goon. LOL! He was a very high scoring Boston University kid who could put 15-20 goal seasons in the NHL, and was a good two-way player. He maybe averaged 1-2 fights per season and didn't rack up many PIMs. Are you confusing him with Oilers teammate BGL?

I wouldn't be surprised if Grier makes a surprise pick (e.g. Ryan Leonard). His early GM tenure has been somewhat unconventional and I don't think he cares what anyone thinks.

Which one of us did it is the real question!

 

[Kaladin]

Don't bother. I've been asking this for months now and no one can answer it proper.

BECAUSE...REASONS.

What are you on about the answer is obvious.

The drop off from Michkov, who is the second best overall player in this draft and the likes of Fantilli and Carlsson isn't massive so teams are willing to get the slightly inferior player in exchange for less risks. When you get to 5th overall though the drop off from a Michkov to a Leonard is steep so it is much worse for the Habs to not pick him vs the earlier teams. There are people who really believe in Smith and club him with the other two but I don't personally see it. Regardless, enough scouts seem to think he's in that tier. Leonard? Reinbacher? The consensus is they are in a steep drop off tier below Michkov.

In other words, you’re a big fan of fake Kent Hugues.

Their pick this year will affect my evaluation of Slafkofsky. Most of my current evaluation is my own impression but part of it included giving the club the benefit of the doubt. If they mess up bad, there’s no goodwill left for any of their picks.

Kinda a strange line of reasoning. I'm not really sure how a 2023 draft pick would cause you to adjust your read on Slafkovsky, or how a 2023 draft pick is a stronger indicator of how he'll develop than eg. Dach.

Calm before the storm.

 

[The Great Weal]

Isn't it awesome that the insiders have the same amount of knowledge as us regarding what we do with our pick except they get paid 6 figures for it and we don't?

Geez dude.

i have never joined twitter buddy i don't know about the technicalities

In other words, you’re a big fan of fake Kent Hugues.

why are you littering this live thread with meaningless comments, come on lets focus on the players

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

We know nothing friend.

Nice racial profiling.

What the hell does x goon have to do with racial profiling???????????? Chris Nilan would fit that description too.

 

[FrankMTL]

He's dropping a deuce and reading HFBoards for some insight.

 

[Ozmodiar]

Nope. He’s still a goon.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

I wish Twitter wasn't used by the hockey community so much its such a lame platform everybody thinks their s**** doesn't stink just a bunch of dudes addicted to their phones tweeting anything they want and non stop speculating for clicks.

Started from the bottom…

I deleted it though as I was realized it was hasty and stupid, and I definitely know that poster would not be doing that.

So yes, my bad.

and each one says the same thing.... lol

As a fan, I have less information than the club. If I find out there’s no driver steering the car, the extra info becomes meaningless.

 

[HabsCowboysOwn]

HF Habs in a few hours if they don't f*** it up and pick one of the top 5 players

 

[SnapVirus]

Im listening to french radio right now (BPM) and I realize that we have so much fans who dont know shit about the draft, the prospects and are saying crazy things.

People would rather SEE a trade. Than drafting the best player. Because trades excite them.

Yeah, lets trade Ovechkin for Dvorak and Petry.
