GDT: 2024 NHL Entry Draft - Day 2, 11:30 AM ESPN+ (Rangers Select EJ Emery)

[lakeshirts37]

Millers replacement

He’s RD so no - but sure he’s also black?

 

[mas0764]

Not that crazy about it. Guy couldn't score on a soccer net.

Maybe a third pair defensive defenseman.

 

[Atax]

Nice socks. I like this kid.

 

[Kords]

That's "1st in No Arm Jump amongst his peers" Emery to you

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

At this stage it’s a crap shoot anyways but I laughed out loud seeing this

 

[Hunter Gathers]

I'm fine with a safe pick. I don't anything about the kid, but we need to build a pipeline.

High floor, high ceiling. I actually am surprised he lasted this long.

OH GOD THEY KEEP TALKING ABOUT HIS f***ING RACE

JESUS f***ING CHRIST WHAT THE ACTUAL f***

 

[NYR Viper]

Jesus can we talk about the later and his game. I don’t care if he’s purple or green.

 

[Filip Chytil]

Seems like an odd question from Hextall

 

[2014nyr]

interesting pant length on pops

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

If he’s an elite skater and and athlete then he’s got a shot to play…even if it’s as a defensive dman that is actually mobile

 

[mike14]

Not enough black HHOFers to bring up. Surpised she didn't go with Iginla.

Of course Hextall brings up O'Ree omfg

You cannot make this shit up

It was literally his answer to 'dream teammate', it's not like she plucked it from nowhere...

 

[Ail]

lmao, oh well at pick 30 not expecting much.

 

[bl02]

It's a safe pick. What else you expect with basically the last pick of the round and no second rounder.
If the kid is a decent defensive dman I am ok with that. If Jones ever makes it we have two legit Dmen who can creat offense that are very young.
And Miller still has that potential.

 

[CaptTennille]

Emery has WAY better defensive IQ and situational awareness than Miller.

 

[Machinehead]

At this stage it’s a crap shoot anyways but I laughed out loud seeing this

Love to see it

 

[Profet]

So Meghan compare everyone to a future HOF but our guy? K'Andre Miller.

And no highlights.

 

[Atax]

Maybe I'm tone deaf, but why must they always ask these young men, about what it feels like to be the first or whatever, black player to do whatever? Why not just congratulate him on being drafted by the NHL and ask how he's feeling.

 

[GAGLine]

At this stage it’s a crap shoot anyways but I laughed out loud seeing this

What a clown.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Love to see it

His draft model is just dogshit. I can't take him seriously on junior and college guys at all. I get that he's trying to branch out, but it's obvious he's never seen any of these guys play a single shift.

I actually find it quite embarrassing that he releases this shit publicly for the draft.

 

[Sayba]

At pick 30 if you can get a

And no highlights.

the lack of highlights in general on every player is annoying.

 

[mas0764]

This lady saying offensive instinct can be taught LOL

Well, not by us.

 

[effen]

Love to see it

Is this the same idiot that had the stunning analysis of "if he didn't light up the Swiss league he was no chance" for Brennan Othmann? I saw a hockey card with like 1% for him years ago.

 

[Filip Chytil]

He's a Canucks fan!

Canada-born defenseman, who likens game to Rangers' Miller, to take next step at North Dakota

The younger Emery also played Canadian football growing up, but his heart was in hockey, especially after he watched his favorite NHL team, the Vancouver Canucks, face the Boston Bruins in the 2011 Stanley Cup Final.

 

[Machinehead]

"Defensemen who do not score very seldom make the NHL."

Sums it up tbh.

 

[will1066]

Did he thank the showgirl for taking his jacket? I missed it. It determines if he makes it or busts.
