GDT: 2024 NHL first round. 7PM EST / 4PM PST

[Lou Sassole]

Well done Philly, well done.

 

[5cotland]

It's sad when some of these first round picks play zero NHL games.

Like Philly's previous 1st rounder Jay O'brien

 

[Osprey]

or maybe they were getting other trade offers and the Wild needed to do it so someone else didn't get him.

Yeah, that makes more sense. My apologies for disrespecting your franchise.

 

[jj cale]

At least Eiserman had months to get over it.

Poor Zeev was about to picked picked 3rd an hour ago.

Down draft year for the U.S.

 

[dukeofjive]

Dude would fit perfectly in harry potter movie.

 

[Jussi]

KONSTA!

 

[vildurson]

Helenius is good pick for Buffalo. Does things the right way. Can play second or third line center. Good faceoffs. Lundell type guy.

 

[5cotland]

Really Good Pick.

 

[BusQuets]

That Philly pick sandwiched between Buium and Helenius might look funny in a few years.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Dude would fit perfectly in harry potter movie.

His father will hear about this

 

[CanadienShark]

Totally the right pick for them. Congrats Buffalo.

 

[rynryn]

Yeah, that makes more sense. My apologies for disrespecting your franchise.

lol disrespect away. i'm not convinced they deserve respect (generally)

 

[Seb]

When will Helenius join the Panthers?

 

[Kravtsov420]

he tried to kill John McLean in diehard, he’s gonna pull out an aug any second

 

[fahad203]

Detroit is going to pick one of those Norigean players..... Since there are not Swedish players really left

 

[Dominance]

Yzerman has got to pick Eiserman, right?

 

[MichaelFarrell]

I think Buffalo did well with Kosta there but I think MBN may have been the better pick there.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Like that pick by Buffalo

 

[5cotland]

Yzerman has got to pick Eiserman, right?

Is he Swedish?

 

[GQS]

Yep, announced in December

Damn that sucks. At least they went out with a bang with having it at the Sphere at Vegas. Looks so damn good! Wouldn't mind having it held there every year.

 

[gn2007]

US lol

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

You’re wayy off there. That’s a great move by the Wild. They secured a great player there. They probably never thought Zeev would fall that far.

If there is even a little doubt that you won’t get him at that point, you give up the near worthless picks in comparison to secure that.

That pick announcement by the Flyers was obviously scripted, So they fooled the Wild in gifting them a free 3rd rounder next year.

 

[5cotland]

Stian Solberg or Michael Brandsegg-Nygård

 

[Some Other Flame]

Another with zero player trades on the floor. Thanks Buttmen

 

[spfan]

Good value. Not the greatest fit though. But funny that Sabres fans seemed convinced they wouldn't pick this type of player.
