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

[TheNumber4]

Liam Greentree is the best name of the night.

If he doesn't turn out at hockey, I could see him being huge in the reforestation industry

 

[FMichael]

That bottom stripe on the new Kings jersey is ridiculous.

Yes it is...That and the 'glittery silver' really takes what would've been a nice retro-rebranding and makes it look cheap/gaudy.

 

[spfan]

Bium played on a stacked team, so his numbers are inflated. There is a reason he fell in this draft. He is not Adam Fox level...Every cup winner in past 10 years has a team full of Big D-men.

Yeah cause draft position always dictates the outcome. I'd have taken Benson top 5 last year. He dropped. Those teams look dumb, already.

Chicago could’ve walked out of this with Eiserman & Demidov smh

Yep, would've been a repeat of last year of excellent drafting.

 

[OKR]

Would’ve taken Stiga over quite a few guys that went ahead of him, but i’m probably rank him higher than most.

Gonna be interesting to see which Finn goes next, Kiviharju or Hemming. The way this draft is going, neither one is gonna be a 1st round pick tbh.

Size still matters buddy. It always will! Benson is a heckuva player but he got bullied on the ice

 

[JPeeper]

Steal of the draft coming up right here.

LET'S GO FLAMES!!!

 

[5cotland]

Artamonov and Hutson ranked so low is crazy!!

 

[Maurice of Orange]

I had Marek Vanacker going in the 2nd round shoulder surgery.

Chicago had a good pick here to move up.

 

[William H Bonney]

The ESPN interviewer is peak cringe

 

[Maurice of Orange]

I wanted the Flyers to take Gridin dammit.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

The ESPN interviewer is peak cringe

Hextall is beyond peak

 

[ORRFForever]

Craig Conroy always very personable.

Marchessault was the MVP of the playoffs just a year ago. 5'9" winger.

You can take the Tyler Myers and Zadorov's. I'll take the Makar's and Hughes.

And considering you're speaking about Coyotes draft history. By far their best pick was a small player. Cooley.

 

[Breakers]

Why even have a clock.

Clearly it means jack all.
On track for a 4 hour draft

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Craig Conroy always very personable.


Not sure if you are being serious.

I had Gridin at #36 tomorrow.

Led USHL in scoring.

 

[FlameChampion]

Norway has more drafted prospects thus far than Sweden or Finland. Thats crazy.

I'll take Victor Hedman in his prime over makar and hughes anyday.

You're talking about outliers here now...

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Dallas has a Corner Store?

For an almost 4 hour draft, it felt like it went by pretty quick for me. Don't even feel tired watching up to now. Meanwhile watching the NBA draft I fell asleep in the middle and missed my team picking in the 1st round.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Dallas has a Corner Store?

They do now and Emil Hemming will be running it.

 

[shaner8989]

Still lots of good guys on the board

chernyshov
Emery
Elick
Stiga
Pulkkinen
O’Reily

 

[Pablo El Perro]

No, apparently Wyatt runs it.

 

[gn2007]

I don't think teams are congratulating florida bc it literally was only 4 days ago, not 2 weeks ago like how normal drafts are lol.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Great pick by NY

 

[spfan]

I'll take Victor Hedman in his prime over makar and hughes anyday.

You're talking about outliers here now...

Makar will go down as having a better career than Hedman. and sure a huge d-man that has skill and skating is good. But you gotta have skill to be that valuable. Someone like Silayev doesn't have the skill. He's going to be a Zadorov, which is fine, but he's far from Hedman. Buium won't be Makar, but he's going to be a lot closer to that.

Even just looking at all time. Orr, Lidstrom, Niedermayer. Skill and smarts. Not physical specimens.

Also you say Buium fell. Both SIlayev and Dickinson both fell too, who have size.

I don't think teams are congratulating florida bc it literally was only 4 days ago, not 2 weeks ago like how normal drafts are lol.

They had it on DVR, they don't know who won yet. They'll get to it when they have time.
