GDT: 2024 NHL Draft - (1st Round - 6/28 at 7PM ET and Remainder of Draft - 6/29 at 11:30AM ET)

[Curufinwe]

Andrae isn’t even a confirmed NHL player yet. Drysdale is always injured. WTF is wrong with these people? Stop drafting for need!

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Every time Briere opens his mouth I die a little bit more.

It’s horrifying.

 

[pooch]

Brilliant

But he’s going to better than all of them

 

[trostol]

I get that. It was a bad net return, but it's some indication of a direction... even if we can't trust them to make use of it in the future.

I'm very unhappy and yet sorta happy. It sucks being a fan of this team.

i am not sure it is unless they are planning to suck and get better talent, using the picks for a trade ..or offer sheeting someone

fireable offense based on that statement alone..

this is why this Org. will never change, they dont feel any pressure to actualy join todays winning NHL

And that's why I really want to see what comes of TK. If they sign him, I'm straight back in hell.

 

[Danko]

Really bad value

They are being run by legitimately stupid people

This is tacit proof of a connection between the Drysdale trade and passing on Buium. It is now completely fair to bring that up as an additional cost of the trade. Why would you ever say that out loud?!

 

[freakydallas13]

I think that having Michkov and putting him with slop is more painful than just having Ryan Leonard and slop. Because I want to watch Michkov, but I want to cry at the same time. I could totally check out in the latter scenario.



They are over the moon with his work. This guy struck gold burrowing his way in with Fletcher.

So will Matvei once he sees the roster he has to play with.

Absolute f***ing joke of a team, absolute f***ing joke of a GM and an absolute f***ing joke of a reason to pass on by far and away the BPA

 

[Magua]

I love that they claim they didn't draft Heiskanen for a similar reason. Even if you don't believe them, that's what they said.

Brilliant

Buium isn't even small! He's got a thicc build. I could write 100 things about this, but I'll settle on this one for simplicity......

…wait. That’s not even a great offer unless that other pick was really good. WTF

 

[Curufinwe]

Always base your first round picks on the size of a second round pick from four years ago

 

[Tarpongg]

2 years into the fake rebuild, you’ve made 1 extra pick (Bonk), and made one trade of consequence (Provorov). The other trades were minor (Walker, Hayes). You’ve retained and resigned 90% of your core slop.

Perhaps I’m missing something, but when does this supposed rebuild start?

Probably when I wake up and realize that this was all a nightmare

Flyers get Joan Jett and a 3rd

Oh, Christ, no wonder they took him. What better way to emphasize how much we hate ourselves for loving them?

 

[MayonnaiseOreo]

I had major hip surgery yesterday and I have to say that was more fun than tonight's draft. All that talk of potentially moving up and then having Buium fall right into their laps, only for them to somehow screw that up was disappointing. I pray Luchanko ends up being a great player but it likely wouldn't be for another 5 years anyway. Just seems like the typical "cute" pick they've been making since 2013.

 

[Redpath]

Brilliant

This is just unforgivable.

No follow-up questions on this one, I'm sure.

 

[Magua]

I would’ve traded the 3 1sts for Lindstrom at #4 to satisfy their maniacal center lust over the choices they made. Forget Demidov. That’s where I’m at, @JojoTheWhale .

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

It's hilarious that we can still be shocked by their stupidity (and laziness) even after everything we have been through. But I don't feel like laughing.

I was trying to be hopeful. I woke up 4:30 a.m. French time and right away checked the draft coverage. Took me an hour to process it, and then trading 32 happened. It's honestly worst case scenario. I have to watch now, only because of Michkov, but it's going to be hell knowing that this organization is still run by f***ing idiots.

Last night I had this dream where a few friends and I were being chased through the hood by basically everyone in the hood. Snoop Dogg was trying to lead us to safety, but there was none. One of his guys shot at us before Snoop could identify that we were friendlies. It was f***ing terrifying.

What I'm saying is that, starting from last night and continuing until now, this day has been one long sesh of "Call of Doodie."

 

[Fight4yourRight]

Briere is such a f***ing twerp. How did this moron get hired?
