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

Isn't Martin Madden a heavily respected scout...if they're so keen on drafting Buium 3rd overall, why were/are we so against that possibility at #5?

Because we already have Buium in Hutson. We also have nowhere near the forward talent the Ducks have.

The issue isn’t the player, it’s the fit.

Good thing I took today off from work otherwise I would be getting nothing done and I wouldn't be able to follow the news as closely as I am right now.

I was just thinking I would work LESS if I had gone to work as the wife left me a little list of stuff to do.

I almost feel mean for laughing at this one, on here, and out loud to myself.

 

[Jack Skellington]

It's draft hype mixed with first baby coming in two months anxiety.

How old are you? Only asking because your account date is so early you must have been a young lad back then. You were the Avtsin guy right?

Hahaha i love that spot personally

Odds watcher, how are we doing right now?

 

[Trabdy2]

I think we moved up to secure one of Boisvert, Hage or Luchanko at 21. One of them should still be there.

 

[Vachon23]

Hage would be awesome

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

Grant seems to think it's for Letourneau, and while we did show interest in him, it feels like he's a tier below the guys who will be available at 26

 

[BLONG7]

Yeah if he thinks we moved taking the chance of targeting only one player he's daft.

Tony takes daft, to another level.

I get needing sponsors, but pushing a gambling site with every single tweet is just lowlife shit.

 

[salbutera]

Marinaro says it’s Michael hage who we want at 21

Then as someone posted earlier why not wait to pull the deal on the draft floor when it’s known the player is available?

I call BS, 21OA is being moved either to go up or for someone

Odds watcher, how are we doing right now?

I'm learning how bets work, so worst case Ontario I'm getting learnded while I'm stretched out over here.

So BPA doesn't matter anymore?

Cause I swear that's what I constantly read about.

Also as far as I know, Hutson was a 2nd round pick, Buium is going top 5.

Clearly the scouting community thinks they're on a different level.

Who’s Lazarus?

Link maybe?

John 11:11-17 These things He said, and after that He said to them, “Our friend Lazarus sleeps, but I go that I may wake him up.” Then His disciples said, “Lord, if he sleeps he will get well.” However, Jesus spoke of his death, but they thought that He was speaking about taking rest in sleep.

we've obviously moved up because 40 year old D Levshunov is gonna freefall to 21

I don't buy that argument at all. You draft who you think is going to be the best player. There is always uncertainty, so you go with need at an absolute tie-breaker, but when you're picking in the top-5 it shouldn't come into the discussion unless you're deciding between two or 3 guys.

If you think Buium is the best prospect available, you take him. If you think Demidov is the best prospect available, you take him. If you think its a coin flip, then need (Demidov) breaks the tie.

We've seen Montreal mess up at the draft in part because they needed D or a Center or size enough times to know that fit is a bad reason take a player.

he would pound a few chicken balls and deep fried shrimp

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

MRW we pass on Demidov for Helenius or Silayev

Reporting Demidov is our main target at 5.

As I mentioned earlier. I've been doing a good deed each day for the past week, to appease the hockey gods.

Today I was out shopping and I noticed that a woman dropped a can of corn from her shopping cart. Seeing my opportunity, I raced over and began to bend down to pick it up. Focusing on the can, I didn't notice a young man coming from the opposite direction. I got to the can a split second before the young man. In the process, I hammered the poor bastard. Driving him across the floor, and into a display case. I jumped up and as I handed the can to the woman. I noticed a horrified look on her face. I turned around and the young man was still on the ground, holding his head. Surrounded by a bunch of people.

I'm a little twisted, so obviously I laughed. Then I went over to see if the young man was alright. Once I found out he was okay, I helped him up. Feeling bad at this point, I offered to pay for the young mans groceries. The poor guy didn't have much. So I took him around and told him to pick out whatever he wanted, that it was on me. He looked at me and had tears in his eyes. I thought to myself "Oh great, I gave the guy a concussion".

I asked him again if he was alright. That's when he told me that his wife had just had a baby. That things were really tight, so these extra groceries would be a great help. Now I had tears in my eyes. Totally forgetting about my own groceries, we proceeded to the check out. I paid for the groceries and we headed outside.

Just as we got outside, his wife showed up in an old beater car. The car was making screeching noises. Which was pretty obvious to me that the car needed a brake job immediately.

I told the young man that it definitely wasn't safe for anyone to be driving that car. Especially with a new born in the back seat. So I had the young couple follow me to my mechanic's shop. I had them drop off their car, telling my mechanic to do a full inspection. Replacing anything that needed replaced and to bill me.

On the way to their place, the young couple was crying. They were so grateful and kept telling me that they would pay me back. I told them that wasn't necessary. I dropped them off and let them know that if they needed a ride somewhere while their car was being fixed, to give me a call. That I would also pick them up when their car was ready.

Wow, sorry that was long. Hopefully I've done enough good deeds so that the Hockey gods see fit for us to draft Demidov.
