GDT: Draft Day Bonanza - All rumors/speculation/draft talk here ( Poll Added!)

[Kaapo Cabana]

Sportsnet 650 said Vancouver and Rangers might be open to swapping picks if Forward Oliver Wahlstrom is there at 7 as NY Rangers are high on him.

Would the Nucks and Oil trade with each other? If so, I could see Tanev for the 10th as a base
They trade down with us,

they have the 9th and 10th picks

Plzzzz

 

[TheTakedown]

I feel like we're not getting any actual authentic rumors or info... yet Im still losing productivity at work.

Bro, same.... I"m just jackhammering the F5 button at this point hoping for new posts.

Not surprised by this...

what are we adding?

 

[Ghost of jas]

Do we know who specifically said it?

I’ve seen that speculated by Vancouver observers for a couple of days. Vancouver seems to be locked in on Dmen, most notably Bouchard.

 

[Polar Bear]

Guessing our later 2nd.

So I don’t have any bold proclamations to report, but some interesting nuggets.

Definitely got the impression that Tkachuk, Zadina and Wahlstrom are 3-4-5 for the Rangers.

Cost to move from 9 to 7 might be 28.

Some concerns with Boqvist’s decision making process.

Montreal reached out to Dallas about Seguin.

Calgary has made multiple calls about Hayes, who is generating interest from at least 5 teams.

Edmonton and Calgary at least chatted about Hamilton.

Think Rangers would be happy with a second for Spooner.

 

[Levitate]

Yeah swapping the 7 and 9 shouldn't realistically cost much especially if there are two guys Vancouver wants

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

I just wonder if tkachuk is the kinda guy who can impact a game if he's not scoring...and if zadina iss a guy who can't.

Then how much is their scoring difference gonna be?

If zadina is a 30 40 guy but tkachuk is a 20 40 guy...I'd take tkachuk and everything else he brings instead of those 10 goals

Zadina already a pretty good 2 way winger, he can absolutely impact a game when he’s not scoring

 

[TheTakedown]

I’m not a big Hamonic fan but that’s a guy that might work in a flip trade with Edmonton.

Truth.

Could you get Hamonic for one of Spooner/Namestnikov/2nd? Flip Hamonic + Vesey to Edmonton for the 1oth

I realize I'm way under on the payment amount here but a) I don't watch the flames often and b) Chia pet factor

 

[Zibanejbread]

I like it.

 

[GregSirico]

Vanvcouver does not have any additional second or third rounders this year so that would be their target.

 

[bleedblue94]

Can guys that have seen wahlstrom more than me comment on any comparisons to brock boeser from that standpoint of him being a shooter. I believe in boeser's draft year there were concerns of footspeed and also his ability to make space for a shot without an effective puck distributing center to help him. I am just wondering if there is any sort of comparison. Thanks

@Edge if you don't mind chiming in

The 28th, really? ehhhh that seems like a higher price

You think all three forwards are going 3-5?

NO way

Clearly need a bidding war pronto!

 

[mas0764]

My board....

Not in Play
Dahlin
Svetchnikov

Highly Desirable/Would Trade a Good Haul For
Zadina

Would Make Small Trade Up For
Wahlstrom

Would Sit Back and Take and Be Happy if None of the Above Were Available
Kotkaniemi
Tkachuk
Hughes


Would Feel Like I Par'd the Course/Satisfied But Not Thrilled
Bouchard
Dobson
Boqvist

Would be disappointed/scratching my head/hoping the team knows better than me
Anyone else

So were looking at:

Dahlin
Svechnikov
Tkachuk
Zadina
Wahlstrom

That leaves:

Boqvist
Bouchard
Hughes
Kotkaniemi
Dobson

Of those 5, which do you take?

 

[noupf]

Where is this going to be televised?

If it’s on nhl network or any of those, I’m out of luck. Is there a way to stream it?

Thank you, sir. Any idea what Calgary is offering for Hayes? Anything on the other teams?

I think he meant 3-4-5 on Rangers board.

If that is how things play out, I see no reason at all to move up from 9 (assuming of course that moving to 3,4,5 would be prohibitively expensive).

 

[Edge]

Highly Doubtful.

With the fact that 5 teams are in on Hayes, that would make it seem like the Rangers are actively making him available. It's not just one team calling
