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

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

Gritsyuk is coming over in two years instead of one? Ohh the horror! Clearly the definition of “rotting” and a complete failure of Fitz and co. Might as well just jump ship and follow a different team. I won’t blame you.

 

[Devil made me do it]

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?

Who cares about 6'7 sized players? Why would you want an oversized player in your roster to begin with?

 

[njdevils1982]

wings gave him regular season name plate and not the generic preseason version

[New Jersey Devils]

Every year stupidly hope for a trade-filled draft

 

[HoliksGhost]

So when is our trade happening ?

 

[HughesCorporation]

"I MUST BREAK YOU"

 

[TrufleShufle]

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

That's why they picked him, because of his big reach.

Lmfao you lost the argument so early that you already jumped to “HURR DEE DURR GO ROOT FOR ANOTHER TEAM”

I said I’d prefer Buium because he doesn’t need Vladimir Putin to give him a knuckle sandwich to come play for the Devils. Pipe down, pipsqueak

Held it's value and was the centerpiece of a big trade for a stud like Meier. About as good as you can realistically ask for, and I think he's going to be quite good in SJS

 

[Guadana]

damn so many good player are available for later picks

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

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.

this is legitimately the opposite of the scouting reports on him.

Very weird stuff.

 

[Ripshot 43]

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

Seriously! When Neidermeyer was announcing the Ducks pick, I was like… “who’s this nerd?”

 

[devilsblood]

so when is our next pick?

 

[Comparison Ford]

LOVE this pick. can’t believe he was there.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

so when is our next pick?

mid 3rd

Where do you get he has no offense? Young defender in a pro league with 3 goals and 8 assists is not bad... it's certainly not "no offense"

Yeah but Nieds has always looked like a dweeb lol

 

[Hisch13r]

I’m going to need to sit in my Silayev hype for as long as I can before they crush me with the Marino/Pesce stuff.

 

[Guadana]

Very weird stuff.

I believe it was a joke. not so killing, pretty meh.

 

[Nocashstyle]

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.

I’m pretty confident that at least a few of the ones complaining they passed on Zeev would also be complaining if they took Bium and passed on Silayev when they found out he was actually the top rated player at that point.

Oh no our 6th round pick isn't an instant contributor to our NHL team

 

[OmNomNom]

Too many unfamiliar places today

Oh shit really? Nice, I thought because he was "fast" he was more of an offensive guy, so another of what we already have too much of. But he got picked because he's a tall defensive d-man and fast? Hell yeah man, thanks for the reassurance.

 

[AfroThunder396]

Oversized, lmao

That McDavid kid is overskilled, better stay away from him. Scores 150 points when 100 is more than enough, shows a lot of selfishness on his part.

wtf are we doing here

 

[Moist ReadOnly]

Get him over here as soon as possible after this contract hes on

What I want to know is would his ELC be one or two years?
