GDT: 2024 Draft Discussion

[GarlicbreadTB]

I like Roy. But he apparently wants 6x6. Not sure it's wise to go for that. Trouba I don't like that trade, but eh it's an OK stopgap for 2 years and possibly being able to get rid off Holl too.

 

[ZDH]

No Stamkos, no Kane no Drai no Roy...but we will get the corpse of Trouba!


I seriously can not chill anymore!!!!

According to Friedman the Sergachev move is to make space for Guentzel - not for Stamkos.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

eh nobodies getting Drai, there's like a 0.00001% chance he gets traded this offseason even in the event he eventually ends up getting traded

and it looks like Stamkos probably doesn't even hit free agency at all at this point too

New year same shit. We will probably make the playoffs one day and get smoked in the first round and look at it as a huge success. Man how far we've fallen...

 

[wingerdinger]

Dude I'm so frustrated!!! Sick of this long ass rebuild and playing small ball...

It was always going to be a long rebuild we were a bare bone franchise when steve took over. Nobody likes it but the franchise was run into the ground chasing 8 seeds playoff births now we're paying the piper.

Trade to let the better player walk and over pay a winger?

I mean I get it i'm frustrated too but you can't get guys that aren't actually there for the taking

This piper is the worse predatory lender of all time...

Guentzel is 5 years younger.

Tampa may not want to be stuck with Stamkos whos closer to 40 than he is 30. It's not crazy to me I could see it.

 

[RedWingzz]

He is #66 on Mckenzie's list and #33 on Button's list. Plante is not at all an unknown player.

So far I've seen everybody in our conference make moves to get stronger. What're we doing here Mr. Y?

Cute.

Also good hair draft for the Red Wings so far.

We are considering the future.

 

[ShanahanMan]

Crazy to think out of our entire roster, only 4 good players were drafted by the Wings (Larkin, Raymond, Ed, Seider). That has to be the least in the league.

Seems like he might be on the verge of getting Kane back...

Um... That doesn't really help.

 

[Christien]

Really really like Ondrej Becher; he stood out a lot in that series against Danielson's team IMO. Over-ager, but very good


to add to this, I'm wondering where he plays next season. Czech League or SHL, perhaps?

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Not only do we reach we make sure they are old too!

 

[Michael Brand Eggs]

He's 20. Button has him #56. Tons of points in the Dub, and had a very good WJC.

 

[lhsgolf19]

Will be interesting to see where he goes... talented kid

Wonder where all the moaning Eeyore's are when they actually go for offensive swings.

 

[schuelma24]

Liking the profile of the last 2 picks after thinking on it. Taking a swing on offense.

 

[ricky0034]

gotta say i'm really not crazy about overagers in general

that's more of a general philosophy thing than something specific to this pick though

Wonder where all the moaning Eeyore's are when they actually go for offensive swings.

if only they were willing to do so with their first pick

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Yzerman was hired in April 2019. Our best season was missing the playoffs on the last day. No one would have been happy with this in 2024 if asked then....

 

[Roomba With a Bauer]

Yzerman being weird in the later rounds again.

I think Yzerman is hoping Plante gains a few inches, looks like he has some vision and skill but got bumped down the rankings because of size.

 

[Killerjas]

A double overager, yikes. Low ceiling guy
