Winners and losers from the first round of the NHL Draft

From an early gasp at second overall to finally finding out where the Russian wild card was going to be dealt, the first round of the 2023 NHL Draft had some breathtaking moments. With that in mind, let’s sing the praises of some picks while also getting a little skeptical about others.

[Warden of the North]

On the plus side the Habs board is somewhat on fire with their pick, on top of passing up Wright last summer.

 

[Tufted Titmouse]

Wonder if we could bring home Bailey for a low cap hit?

 

[fahad203]

Puljlarvi and Yammato both on the moves today

You thought our drafting was bad. What a waste of first rounders

 

[MilkofthePoppy]

Would have been nice if we took a flyer on Kostin. Love that guy.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

it was pretty funny to see all the doom and gloom.

 

[Menzinger]

Leafs should try and poach him

He is terrible. He lost his job to AHLers.

Twitter links stop working for anyone else?

Twitter links stop working for anyone else?

Yep, no access.

Sarivelli on the fan 590 just now:

"I would not be surprised if Treliving tries to take a run at Vladar in CGY".

Why? We have Samsanov's rights and Woll. Why give up assets for another questionable tender?

Cause Seravalli just throws shit at the wall to fill time. Just like his Brodie buy out suggestion, it makes no sense.

I wish I knew the logic. I'm not saying it makes sense. I'm only relaying what he said.

I don't personally subscribe to: "everything that Treliving was into in Calgary will be everything he'll do in Toronto"

 

[justashadowof]

How much that Corey Perry is traded back to Tampa Bay at the next trade deadline?

 

[francis246]

How much that Corey Perry is traded back to Tampa Bay at the next trade deadline?

He can’t be. There’s rules in the CBA that won’t allow for players traded back to their old team with retention for 12 months. And no way Tampa can afford Perry at 4 million.

That’s why Tony DeAngelo can’t be traded back to Carolina until July 9th

 

[ToneDog]

Lots of buyouts. Duchesne (Haliburton and played in Brampton), Yamamoto, Wheeler.

 

[Dayjobdave]

I wonder if the Leafs take a run at Duchene to play 2C.

 

[Warden of the North]

That Duchene buyout is a doozy. Wow

 

[Menzinger]

That Duchene buyout is a doozy. Wow

The Preds are going to have almost 12 mil in dead capspace.

Trotz has gone rogue lol

 

[andora]

This might end up interesting afterall

I love how 10 years ago this was exciting.. endless possibilities

Now, its like sitting in a courtroom as a defendant waiting for the verdict to be read out - the stress of avoiding bad deals, bad terms, bad roster fits etc...

 

[justashadowof]

$9.3M in real money cost for the Duchene buyout for the Predators.

 

[justashadowof]

The under 25 buyout is a really bad stain on an NHL career (Yamamoto).
