GDT: Draft 2024 @ 4pm PT, ESPN, ESPN+

[TheGoodShepard1]

Is HF super slow for all of you or just me?

I just got back on after the server traffic overloaded, been gone for a couple hours.

Guess I shouldn’t be surprised this is the biggest jam night of the year, there’s a reason this site isn’t called Hockey’s Present

Glad someone else took emery. Screams athlete, but not hockey player.

 

[McDonald19]

Of course they're bringing up trading Zegras on broadcast

Yeah, Emily is annoying.

 

[HanSolo]

Verbeek back at the table. Maybe he needed a cat nap. Surely the whole table will meet with the prospects after this is over.

 

[McDonald19]

just like everyone knew who Pat was gonna draft? or how everyone knew Pat was gonna trade Drysdale? no one knows what Pat is gonna do so thinking Emily Kaplan knows for a fact that Zegras is gone is nonsense

Yup, she acts like she knows what 32 teams are doing with their rosters. Total b.s. Not impressed with her at all.

Can’t you just let the guy go pee without calling attention to it?

I'm Verbeek's stalker. I can't help it.

 

[HanSolo]

Lol very whatever trade.

 

[Boo Boo]

Does Edmonton really want to trade into the first with where they’re at organizationally right now??

 

[HanSolo]

Chant of Oilers suck a section over. Good mix of Golden Knights, Blackhawks, and Sharks fans in the chant lol

 

[HanSolo]

Well that was worth the experience in the end.

 

[goonsaredumb]

Lot's of good RD's still on the board heading into the 2nd (and my personal favorite remaining D prospect Freij but he's an LD and I don't think we're taking another one)

Chernyshov and Stiga still available too, lot's of good options tomorrow

 

[Rasp]

Badinka still on the table. Hope we get him with 35

 

[goonsaredumb]

Well that was worth the experience in the end.

Looked awesome on TV, they should do it this way every year f*** getting rid of the in person draft

 

[HanSolo]

Totally agree. I get why they want to do it logistically (a lot of the executives looked bored as f*** just sitting there) but it's so much better this way.

 

[HanSolo]

This is now the second time in my life that Bob Murray has physically bumped into me.

Edit: obligatory it's not a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

I can only say that I like Badinka, Masse and Chernyshov as second rounders.
