GDT: Are You Ready to Rummmm...er, Draaaaaaft!

[izlez]

Zadina was a consensus #3 for a while and we took him at #6.

Podkolzin was a consensus #3 for a while and we took him at #6.

This parallel is one of the unfair reasons that Podkolzin is the one player I absolutely do not want.

And certain aspects of his actual game remind me of Zadina

 

[Hen Kolland]

that leaves us with one of Zegras or Dach, whom I'm both very high on

I think you are forgetting the team doesn't care about any of us. Yzerman's reason to move up or down is because he's Steve Yzerman and he does what he wants. Hang on and enjoy the ride.

Not saying the team cares, it was just my opinion lol.

I hope the team does not listen to us, I wanted Holland's head on a stick when we drafted Larkin, so there's that

BOYS. TELL ME WHO TO LIKE AND DISLIKE!!!

 

[Frk It]

Long ass work day for sure. I am not expecting a very chalky first round after 2 and am super excited to watch this unfold.

This is going to be a long workday.

You guys gotta start taking this day off... trust me it’s a game changer.

 

[izlez]

BOYS. TELL ME WHO TO LIKE AND DISLIKE!!!

Like: Dach and Turcotte

Dislike: Byram. I am certainly not alone in this opinion and you will be joining a very large bandwagon, so don't question it (I'm so lonely)

 

[Realgud]

Like I said before, I'm totally expecting the scouts go for Boldy if Turcotte or Byram doesn't fall. Boldy will be tried at center eventually too.

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

This is going to be a long workday.

Yep and Friday’s are already long enough

 

[Marky9er]

Let's make this a genuine draft, it's Miller time folks.

Oh yeah....draft night! Pick a good one Stevie, but not a winger alright?

Wait really? How does he compare to the top D men from last years draft?

Just watch out for The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.

"Really" as in the fact that I do believe it. "Not really" as in I am virtually the only one. Every one in every fan base would be thrilled with him. I just wanted to trick someone into siding with me.

I think he is bad defensively and lacks effort while only looking to jump up on the rush to be a 4th forward. He doesn't possess any elite level offensive skills (skating, shot, passing, stickhandling), he just takes advantage of being that 4th forward in the WHL but will be a big defensive liability.

I said the same thing about Sandin. Your with me right?

 

[Lil Sebastian Cossa]

Who spit in your coffee this morning?

Me.

I'm an asshole.

 

[Orthodox Caveman]

It’s the day we’ve all been waiting for!

I hope we get some real gems, whomever we pick.

 

[izlez]

Don't really have a strong opinion on Sandin. I'd gladly jump on that bandwagon if you jump on the anti-Byram bandwagon.

Plus, it lets me hate on a leafs prospect. I'm in!

Game changah.

This is Frk It's oatmeal cookie idea. It's nothing compared to Bench's Big Mac idea though.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

It was an extremely dumb video of Carley Johnston out in the streets of Detroit asking people to pick who would be the next Red Wing at #6. The board had actual top prospects along with Fulton Reed from Mighty Ducks, Daniel Norris, TJ Hockenson, Luke Kennard, Harry Styles. Half the people they showed picking were choosing people who aren't even hockey players.

It made Red Wings "fans" look absolutely stupid. I imagine it was met with some crooked looks and deleted as a result.

I saw this and skipped it. Nothing like making your own fan base look like shit.

This is the kind of stuff you do to troll others, not make your own look like morons.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

They should just start the draft @ pick 3 and stop wasting everyone's time lol.

I've read some pretty negative reviews on him as a defenseman, but just about all of these come from HF people so I take it with a grain of salt. Still, there were enough from a few voices whose opinions I generally respect, so I have never been super high on Byram. I've not seen a single game the kid has played however so the entirety of my opinion is based on word of mouth. If he lands in Chicago or Colorado then hopefully your opinion of him proves to be correct.

No further questions your honor.

 

[SuperScript29]

Suppose there's some truth to Yzerman moving back, I would assume that we can trade into the mid to late 1st round if we get another high second rounder. Would you guys rather have one of Zegras/Dach/Cozens and just keep our 35th and hope for a decent player there, or a combination of Podkolzin/Boldy/Krebs and Seider/Harley/Robertson?

 

[StNickFan]

Plot twist:

Yzerman trades away #6 for a teams 2019-2022 2nd rd picks stating that picking in the 1st round is too easy.
