GDT: 2024 NHL Entry Draft, at The Sphere in Vegas, Friday, June 28, 7 p.m. edt | SN, TVA Sports, ESPN, NHLN

[Essenege]

The Russian factor has a lot more complexities to it than just their KHL contracts. That's only one component.

Yeah, putting it to rest was maybe too strong wording but I thinks it makes it less of a factor and that will be enough to keep him top 4. Hope I’m wrong!

Hughes ain't done

 

[Deebs]

Didnt Hughes trade up for 13 th overall in 2022?.....Him trying again would not be surprising

I want that to happen. We have loads of picks with not much room. Bundle them up and make shit happen.

 

[Rapala]

It would be hilarious if Carolina took #4...and then traded it for the top D they actually need because that's not a team that is going to wait 4 years for the prospect they draft this year to be read. They aren't rebuilding.

Most people think the idea of trading up is for a shot at Demidov I think it's more likely they want Buium or Silayev in the case of Carolina.

 

[Redux91]

Pizz on the 56th, we need more quality or draft currency.

Yeah exactly

What this trade tells me is they find any other pick other than 1st round right now useless at this stage of rebuild

18 yr old 2nd and 3rd rounders right now aren't of interest at the moment

And that they are probably targeting a 'close to ready' type of late 1st round prospect
Or you never know
Something else is up too

 

[Rozz]

trades are hard --MB the clown

I was a MB supporter for the first 1/2 to even maybe 3/4 of his tenure.... looking back... what a f***ing knob the ended up being ... like he did some good things... but he was scare to make the necessary sacrifices to get price the cup in his window... and that will forever be his legacy

It is the accumulated picks were always going to be trade capital.

[Saundies]

3rd
Straight
Draft day deal lol

I love him

I honestly think it gives him joy to hear the crowd react to "We have a trade to announce" on the draft floor.

It gives me joy so I feel him.

 

[Hacketts]

Refreshing, no doubt.

 

[Rapala]

3rd
Straight
Draft day deal lol

I love him

If he was a car salesman he'd be selling his cars at the auto show right.

 

[Habano]

Let's take Demigod, trade up to pick either Connelly or Eiserman and then make a trade for McG

If only it was that easy!

Whole league when this clown was about to make a move including me

Hughes traded Romanov with a 4th round pick for 13th, I wouldn't call that a trade up exactly.

 

[vokiel]

Getting asset to get Macgroarty

I hope not, I could never pronounce that name. Definitely a tragedeih.

 

[Deebs]

I hope not, I could never pronounce that name. Definitely a tragedeih.

Just go with McGruber

 

[Gustave]

It is the accumulated picks were always going to be trade capital.

Also, let’s not underestimate the value of Pittsburgh second rounder. That thing will be valuable

 

[vokiel]

Just go with McGruber

I'd just end up calling him McGros

Just have his own McDonald's burger...

 

[417]

when people scoff at teams acquire non-1st round picks and stockpiling them.

Remember trade like this one.

[Walrus26]

Upside of being Draft O'clock + 5 hours? Lots more drinking time before the picks start.

Downside of being Draft O'clock +5 hours? Lots more drinking time before the picks start.

Demidov would be a minor miracle, but I'd much rather walk away with Dickinson or, another miracle, Lev, than risk Lindstrom's discs or settle for less than the BPA.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

lol we aint trading down even less with that trade

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

21st + Harris for a pick in the teens?
