GDT: 2024 NHL Draft (June 28 - June 29, Las Vegas Sphere)

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Remember he is just 17. Thats a young age to call someone a bust. After putting up a 100 pt season

 

[Holtbyisms]

If we were going 15-20 picks off the board we should have just taken Mews. Better organizational fit and a better prospect.

 

[Calicaps]

One thing about Ross, he always prioritizes Hockey IQ which everyone seems to say this kid has in spades.

I don't think anyone is calling him a bust, I think most of us expected to go BPA and he clearly wasn't even remotely close to that. There's still a bunch of guys available at 27 who are superior prospects by a mile.

Says he tries to play like Oshie. Nice!

Thanks we have had some posters who hate GMBM and take every chance to blast any move he makes. Welcome to the Caps board

I lived 8 years under GMJB so I sympathize with their GM woes.

I disagree with so many scouting reports on Parascak. Opinions get copy and pasted like facts but at the same time if I was a scout I wouldn't want to come to Prince George either.
Even as soon as next year people are going to be saying "how did he fall so far". Sorry if I'm wrong but at this level he plays like an elite 2-way forward and if some or all of that can translate he will be a stud.

Oh yall got Ehlers?

We didn't unless something happened recently. There was something on Twitter early this afternoon that had us moving our 1st and cristal for him.

Not wanting to be sexist at all but I don't know who this Meghan is with their draft prospect evaluation.

The ESPN draft crew was a big let down. Her rankings were all over the place

She prob asked ChatGT to make her draft rankings lol

Who wouldn’t want to make a scenic 9-hour drive from Vancouver to see him play?

LOL! My BFF lives in PG and regularly tries to get me to visit. I'm 90 minutes from Victoria (In WA state) and still have never been. LOL!

Almost 4 hours to make 32 picks. The NHL is ridiculous.

 

[Cush]

Edmonton trades a future first for pick 32

[Ovie's Neighbor]

GMBMs draft record is mediocre at best. But at the same time you usually need 3-5 years to judge picks and it is such a crapshoot that I never judge any pick too harshly when it is made.

 

[Langway]

Teddy Steegs still on the board. So is Med Hatter Basha.

Have to figure they'll be trying to trade up from 52 for someone.

 

[hb13xchamps]

Edmonton must really love O’Reilly. That could be a high pick if things go South and Drai and co decide to leave

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

is 11:30 est pregame show or the start of round 2?

looks like 1130. Odd start time

 

[Cush]

I believe back in March I said that Aron Kiviharju will be their first Finn in forever.........

I think the new GM wanted to put his stamp on the team.

 

[pman25]

Chernyshov, Basha, Stiga, Freij, Elick, Hutson, Artamanov, Ritchie, Badinka, Miettinen, Mews…lots of dudes
