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

I think Washington takes the russian

 

[RememberTheName]

Cool moment, Protas going to the team with his brother, especially with them trading up for him

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Yet its clearly not irrelevant because here you and others are clamoring for centers drafted and.. where are they?

For some 'critically important position' thats 'a significant organizational need' clearly the actual people in charge dont agree with you

So yeah - thats like, your opinion man

Nonsense circular logic. The fact that they haven’t drafted many Cs of late is precisely why they need to begin drafting centers again.

 

[JimEIV]

O

NJ clearly have a target in the third round with this trade down.

Or we are trading picks for players?

 

[MasterofGrond]

Trading down is value, please draft someone good

 

[AfroThunder396]

We now have:

82
91
139
146
171

The 5th we just picked up (146) replaces the 5th we gave up with Marino (153)

Wouldn't mind a bottom 6 winger with some grit

I doubt there's anyone's player worth trading a mid-late third rounder for.

 

[StevenToddIves]

Logan Sawyer will be called a steal, not so much because he's a steal but because Montreal drafted him. So congratulations, Logan.

 

[MadDevil]

Thats fair but it doesnt require 1st 2nd or even 3rd round picks to be spent on for roles that wont ever see significant icetime behind those two (outside the injuries you stated)

Instead, like we have, we should be using those higher round picks on other positions that dont have two 1st overall staples tied to them

We have two top 5 pick defensemen on the team and just used a top 10 pick on another one, so maybe we should look at a center at some point?

 

[JimEIV]

I think I like rounds 2-7 more than round one? At least as much. The rapid fire is awesome.

 

[Comparison Ford]

getting that marino pick back was sleek. happy Fitz is finally comfy wheeling and dealing on draft day.

 

[StevenToddIves]

Devils coming up and Shuravin still on the board. Also another excellent LD out of Switzerland in Daniil Ustinkov. Some really good Fs like Kevin He and Justin Poirier and Carson Wetsch.

 

[Darkauron]

Yeah we REALLY REALLY need to draft some centers

 

[Moist ReadOnly]

A center would be on the third line (if he plays center)

You can have four high pick defenseman on the top 2 pairs

Thats a massive difference - two staples vs four staples

You know it’s going to be Stinky

 

[youryeah]

Daniil Ustinkov is a hell of a name

 

[Comparison Ford]

Daniil Ustinkov is a hell of a name

when he scores we can yell You Stink instead of You Suck during the goal song

 

[forceten]

Kos gone just before our #82 pick. Bummer. But Shuravin... my god.. how is he here?

 

[My3Sons]

NJ sort of did this with Casey. Im guessing there is someone they think is unheralded that would make it down from 75.

 

[JimEIV]

We're slow on the clock

 

[Comparison Ford]

seems like we may be wheeling and dealing again..

 

[TrufleShufle]

another trade?

 

[OmNomNom]

Trade

 

[Nico Hischier]

They making another trade?
