GDT: 2024 NHL Entry Draft - Round 1 - June 28th - 7 P.M. / Round 2-7 - June 29th - 11 A.M

[Mr Bojanglez]

Lidstrom is Sting's little brother and you cannot convince me otherwise

 

[Bleedred]

Steve Yzerman looks like my uncle with those glasses.

 

[TrufleShufle]

As cool as it would be to have Nygard, it would have been nerve racking hearing Dano say it every night.

 

[MadDevil]

This GM sucks! He should have traded away a pick I didn't like in a trade I would have also bitched about because he sucks!

 

[Hollywood Nosebleed]

Feeing meh, about our pick but that’s probably cause I didn’t think he’d be there. He def has huge upside but doubt he’s “Hedman” but he’s 6’7 so even if he sucks we’ll get a good pick in 2-3 years when he’s traded

 

[Billdo]

I am not a fan of this pick. I don't care how you wanna sugarcoat it. This screams like Muk 2.0, a reach pick when there were better consensus options. Pissed off right now.

lol how the f*** is it a reach pick when he was projected by everyone to be top 5 and we took him 10? If you don't like it, fine, but it isn't a reach at all.

 

[JimEIV]

You really can complain about everything.

That was our GM and every GM is speaking first.

You complain about me complaining a lot.

 

[britdevil]

I don’t like that all these old men announcing the picks are players I grew up watching.

These kids were pooping they pants when Lidstrom won his last cup. We old son. We old.

 

[Guadana]

Yzerman made yzerman pick.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

MBN will be tremendous on Detroit, that top 6 is looking better and better by the day but they won't make a jump until one of their C prospects pushes Compher down to 3C

 

[My3Sons]

Pity NJ didn’t have two first rounders to take MBN also

 

[Devil made me do it]

Ok. Let's process the pick a little here.

Devils did not need a puck moving offensive defenseman so from that point of view this pick makes sense.
Kid has size, physical enough and positionally sound on the defensive end. That all makes sense in terms of team fit.
He is an unusually good skater for his size. If he can turn into a Chara type I would eat crow.

I would still have gone Dickinson there. It's just my intuitive choice, having analized video of each player and reading scouting reports. You always go for the safe pick each time every time. I am not a big fan of drafting for potential. And you drafted a russian when you had a canadian stud like Dickinson fall in your lap? It's just a puzzling decision to me. I hope to be proven wrong but this is a pattern of bad picks with Fitzgerald. I don't trust the guy's judgment when picking in the first round. Too many blunders like Holtz, Muk and Stillman.

 

[BurntToast]

He is at least a massive defensive defenseman who can skate, if he hits he could be a nightmare.

Let’s swing for the fence, the Devils do it and ppl cry.

I was a Zeev fan but with Casey, and Nemo, Hughes, he is redundant.

 

[HBK27]

They literally just drafted a dumber Kevin Bahl who is Russian and won't be here for at least 2 years when two more talented and better dmen with more offensive upside, were sitting there. This isn't a guy you take in the top 10. This is a guy you can find in later rounds.

Tom just sucks as a GM with drafting and CONSTANTLY f***s the draft up. Holtz, Stillman, this lug.

Oh, f*** off already...

 

[Guttersniped]

You complain about me complaining a lot.

It’s a symbolic relationship.

 

[Nocashstyle]

what does the AHL have to do with anything that I said? Your lack of reading comprehension isn't my problem sweetie.

Then explain your use of the term “rot.” Because someone who isn’t overly dramatic might call that letting a player develop. Or you can just be overly emotional and dramatic. Your choice.

 

[Nubmer6]

Yzerman made yzerman pick.

As I said in a previous thread, I couldn't imagine MBN dropping past Yzerman.

Insert Daneyko OH BOY

Do people think Mukhamadullin was a bad pick?

so you know how there's this super cool player named gritsyuk who has the skillset and talent and growth that would be perfect for next year's team?

and you know how we can't have him on next year's team?

lemme know call me love u ttyl

 

[Guadana]

And you drafted a russian when you had a canadian stud like Dickinson fall in your lap?|

Go check Oilers roster and Panthers roster. Checking bolts champinship roster would help you too.

May be. Mostly it wouldnt.

Do people think Mukhamadullin was a bad pick?

some people do. education isnt for everyone

As I said in a previous thread, I couldn't imagine MBN dropping past Yzerman.

thought in the same way

 

[Dylan9z9]

Who

Steve Yzerman looks like my uncle with those glasses.

Who Your uncle Lindy?

 

[Oneiro]

Didn't know anything about Silayev but hey, if you keep taking these guys, eventually one of them is gonna be Pronger or Chara.

 

[JimEIV]

Do people think Mukhamadullin was a bad pick?

I didn't like it when it was made. Long forgot about it though. Felt like a big reach

 

[Killing Joke]

There are lots of 6'7 defensemen who are elite skaters available in the later rounds? Cool, wish we took a few of them each year. How have the Devs been missing out for so long?

He literally has no f***ing offense to his game. He's legit just Kevin Bahl 2.0. He's not physical, his size is worthless.
