Draft Draft 2020 Draft & Undrafted Free Agent Thread: Part VIII

[Polar Bear]

Happy Lafreniere day, everyone!

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Oh baby, baby, baby! I'll get some shit done, then go groceries. I.e. booze.

I have potentially 5 picks I'm looking forward to being made. Two NYR picks and three German picks (hopefully in the 1st rd)!

LGR !!!

Speaking of booze, what is everyone's weapon of choice going to be tomorrow?

It's today bro, in like 13 hours. I think I'm going with cider today ... and the 420 of course

Lol I've been up all night and haven't gone to sleep yet, you're right

Lol I've been up all night and haven't gone to sleep yet, you're right

I've been up half the night because I have a pinched nerve in my left shoulder and a lower right side injury where the cartilage has separated somewhat from the ribcage. It's all going to take time to heal but for now I can't sleep in bed on either side. I can sleep a bit on one side on the couch in the living room though.

Going with Pink Whitney. Add a little lemon lime seltzer to it.

Been drinking whiskey the last week watching the Yanks, so switching it up.

Would anyone be opposed to taking a d-man at 22? Guhle?

No booze. 9am for me. I usually wait til at least midday.

Obviously I’m also extremely excited for Lafreniere. Everything I see tells me he’s going to be the real deal.

I’m VERY curious to see what we do with the 22nd. Should be some good players available there.

 

[NYblades]

Would anyone be opposed to taking a d-man at 22? Guhle?

I would seriously consider him there.

 

[Edge]

Would anyone be opposed to taking a d-man at 22? Guhle?

D-man is potentially in play at 22. Rangers would be very interested in Guhle.

Got a Maker's Mark Private Select that I was planning on saving for a special occasion. Opened it the night of the lottery, we won. I think it's only fair that I drink it again tonight

I see top-4 going exactly as you have it.

Rossi probably goes top-10.

I forgot #3OA is San Jose’s pick.

The 2019-20 San Jose Sharks must rank pretty high on the disaster list. Make the WCF the precious season, then bottom-out the next—without their 1st.

 

[eco's bones]

Wishing you a speedy recovery, my man.

Since June it's been one thing after another--this is just the latest iteration. I'm beginning to think there is no recovery. But anyway the rib thing is supposed to be 4 to 6 weeks.

 

[Ghost of jas]

Still hoping for Lapierre at #22

 

[Lion Hound]

Today is the day!!!

What im hoping for...

#1st Overall: Alexis LaFreniere. Im so excited that the club is finally getting 1OA. Can't wait to see LaFreniere in a Rangers sweater. So much to look forward to. For a draft fan, that is a die hard Rangers fan this day is literally a dream come true. Lets get this one right NY. Draft and develop a legitimate leader, bonafide NHL All Star and hopfully a guy that will help raise a cup one day here...right here in NYC!

#22: Marat Khusnutdinov. Plenty of talk about him here. Some don't love him. He's not even on some radars, but I really like the player. It was good to know that he is on the Rangers radar after Edge's post the a couple weeks ago. Even though he didn't seem as high as some of the other names. Maybe they can add a 2nd and snatch him up. Truthfully i am not even certain he will be there at #22.

What I think will happen...

#1st Overall: JD and or Gordie take the podium, or the...Zoom call. Not really sure how this is going to go. Maybe some quick words for the Tampa Bay lightning. Then Gordie in his best Clint Eastwood eyebrow raise, selects LaFreniere.

#22: We have a trade to announce...

NY Rangers trade pick number #22, Anthony DeAngelo and Ryan Strome to the Pittsburgh Penguins for Evgeny Malkin and pick #77.

I think JD's influence is going to come through here today. JD gushes when he talks about Malkin. I think he's a player that Davidson has always wanted. This isnt the deal, im personally hoping for. I would rather see a cost controlled #2 center, but this is the deal I think the NYR's are pulling off today that is out of left field.

Just wait until they go into 2020-21 with a goalie tandem of Devan Dubnyk and Martin Jones

34 yo Center who hasn't played a full season since 2008-2009 doesn't sound like JD. Plus we are getting worked in that trade. I wouldn't even do ADA straight up for Geno.

I’d love that but he won’t be there at 22.

 

[JohnC]

I only hope Laf doesn’t go bust bust. A possibility that never gets discussed ‘round these parts.

weed is my choice. better than booze

 

[True Blue]

D-man is potentially in play at 22. Rangers would be very interested in Guhle.

Hoping against hope that a Schnieder or Holloway drop. But realistically setting my sights on a Kreig.

While I will be very excited to see the Rangers call out Lafreniere's name as their first ever first overall pick, the real excitement begins right after that.
