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

[Random Forest]

I can enjoy this pick. Seems like solid upside here.

 

[Curufinwe]

Ol’ Gill was waiting for this one

 

[Fight4yourRight]

First decent pick.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Seems like a decent pick but I hate the thought process of trading up at this point in the draft giving away more lottery tickets for a range that just doesn’t produce great odds in a singular sense.

 

[AndHeMissedTheNet]

LOL pens

 

[Danko]

Penguins still going for it with that group?

 

[GKJ]

Ant on WIP rn

Penguins still going for it with that group?

As long as Crosby is around, they’re in it to go

I don't hate trading up if there's a guy you love who's a tier above on your board and you're sure he won't make it to you. But adding another 3rd to move up 18 picks seems a little steep compared to what I've seen others pay. IDK.

Plus I've heard the 2025 draft is the deepest draft in league history (from the Flyers) so I would think we'd want that extra 3rd!

 

[Tripod]

Remember, to trade up and grab Gill, it means the Flyers had him rated higher and couldn't believe he was still there.

Incompetence

 

[Sombastate]

I miss Chuck

So, as it stands, we traded Zeev Buium and #77 for Jett Luchanko and Spencer Gill.

They could have taken Gill at 51 and the big Swede at 77 and kept the Wild’s 2025 3rd.

 

[wankstifier]

They don't pick again until 148

 

[BigToe]

Of course the Canes take him!

 

[ponder719]

I hope Chicago’s pick plays with an edge, so he can be Mean Mr. Mustard.

 

[BiggE]

Keith Allen’s rotting corpse would be an upgrade over Briere, aka Cuck Jr., at this point.

 

[GKJ]

Logan Thompson traded to the Caps

Really hoping he has a sister named Pam

 

[Tripod]

We will get ranked with the worst draft this year

Now I await a shit trade to top it off

 

[ponder719]

I’m gonna need the Caps to send a team over there to present him with a jersey, do a photo op like he just got drafted.

 

[Sombastate]

We will get ranked with the worst draft this year

Now I await a shit trade to top it off

We are unambiguously the worst team in this draft

 

[FLYguy3911]

Mews is nothing special but kinda odd the league didn't like him much.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

I know everyone doesn't follow football, but one of the big takeaways from the avalanche of data that we have gotten in the last decade or so is that while no one is great at drafting, the ones who are worse at it than everyone else are those that are overconfident in their personal board.

That's the Flyers in a nutshell. And it's so much worse to do it in a sport where projections are for significantly younger players.

How can it dip? His blood is sugar.
