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

Right handed gloved goalies traditionally suck outside of maybe 1 or 2 years. Stay the f*** away from Askarov.

 

[Heffyhoof]

Was hoping something would break at work today, but alas I must go. Can't wait to read that Michkov was our pick!

 

[Schooner Guy]

Carlsson played center at the World's and everyone sees him as the most likely to stick at C from the guys being picked in the top 4. The reason why - he played in Allsvenskan and SHL, so he's playing a pro league and those conservative pro leagues generally don't have teenagers centering lines.

His feet aren't heavy, his skating just needs improvement but it's not anything more than average. My opinion is that his lack of acceleration power is just from being underdeveloped physically in his legs. But it won't matter, he's got skills, he's got reach and his hockey brain is probably the second best in the draft behind Bedard.

But this is just my opinion, I have to add a disclaimer now.

What in the blue hell do you know anyway????

So, who has stress diarrhea right now ?

[Lafleurs Guy]

VERY disappointing

Because MICHKOV is there.

He might be gone… we have to wait and see bud.

 

[Kennerback]

Get out of town!!!! I don't f***ing believe ya! No way man! You're going to flood your house out with tears.

Hahahahahaha!!!!!!

I really like Smith more than many on this board. If it’s Smith, I can deal with it with limited therapy.

 

[jaffy27]

And this is coming from someone who was on the other side of a debate for a lot of years, than me.

I may have had some of my strongest disagreements with jaffy but I've never put him on ignore and never lost respect for him. If people can debate with passion and integrity, I got 0 problems.

Cheers buddy, let's get a franchise player tonight, eh?

Oh ya, we’ve had our debates lol

But ive always respected you as a poster as I knew you knew your shit!! Like your in depth knowledge is pretty elite on these booards….at least in my opinion and I’m confident to say with most of the posters here.

f*** ya, let’s draft a cornerstone player…..Carlsson, Michkov, Smith/Leonard…..we getting one of them I hope.

To elaborate on your in depth knowledge, you were the 1st poster that “I” saw post about Smith, Carlsson’s and Leonard’s abilities!!!

You called it and I feel compelled to give you praise for seeing this one come multiple months ago

 

[Matthew McConaughay]

INTERESTING!

I like Askarov, but i would still draft Mich.

 

[MarkJ]

where do Preds draft?

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

No. I'm thinking about the trade down possibility. For once, I'd like to be surprised pleasantly with this team.

Yeah, I would not be happier with trading down.

But I don’t expect us to.

 

[HuGo Sham]

Friedman looks burned out

He's growing his hair out in the front to cover up that friar tuck happening on his lid

 

[McGees]

5th for 15th + Askarov - who does it?

 

[jaffy27]

Was hoping something would break at work today, but alas I must go. Can't wait to read that Michkov was our pick!

Sick days….just saying

 

[Beendair Donedat]

I will ask again,

Does anyone know of a stream/site to view the draft online? Getting on a plane in a couple hours and don’t want to miss anything. Please send a PM, thank you all kindly in advance!

 

[FrankMTL]

So, who has stress diarrhea right now ?

Nope, I don't have the Hershey Squirts yet.

 

[Nicko999]

I swear if Hughes does something as stupid as this, he is no better than Bergevin. Goalies do not hold such value. You can win with average ones.

 

[HuGo Sham]

5th for 15th + Askarov - who does it?

not me, not hughes

 

[Frank Drebin]

I guarantee you guys were not having that vanilla top 5 order like everyone and their dog is predicting

 

[LPHabsFan]

5th for 15th + Askarov - who does it?

f*** no.

 

[Andy]

5th for 15th + Askarov - who does it?

Not enough.

 

[Kennerback]

5th for 15th + Askarov - who does it?

“…criquets…”

 

[Pacciosoftie]

Let’s get this shit show started damnit, my body is ready

 

[le_sean]

5th for 15th + Askarov - who does it?

I’d think about 15+24+Askarov for it. Then trade back into Top 10. But I love Askarov.

 

[David Suzuki]

15, 24 and askarov for 5 probably why they have price there to meet askarov
