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

[Gardner McKay]

I wonder if he goes to CBJ in a deal for Panarin. Probably not a straight 1 for 1 but I don't think its super far off, especially if Panarin isn't going to re-sign in CBJ.

This screams Boqvist to me

Hughes is considered one of if not the best skaters in the draft, is Boqvist really considered the same? I thinkGS is right.

 

[Lion Hound]

It’s not an appropriate comparison. In fact, it’s a little lazy.

Whats Lazy about it @jas ?

This screams Boqvist to me

Quinn Hughes skates circles around anyone in this draft class or anyone in the previous few.

Stage three of the rebuild begins tonight.

Stage 1- 2017 NHL draft- Andersson, DeAngelo, Chytil
Stage 2- TDL- Hajek, Howden, Lindgren, Rykov
Stage 3- 2018 NHL draft

The latest 'critical juncture' as social scientists say. Looking forward to how our prospect cupboard looks after this is all over. Hopefully there should be some good names to get excited about for day 2 as well.

I feel this way as well. Idk why people keep bringing up the the three year timeline when were already 1.5-2 years in

Better than Nico? I have my doubts...

 

[Edge]

"He is the best skater out of all of them. He is the best creative mind out of all of them."

This screams Quinn Hughes

Boqvist comes to mind here as well.

I could see Vancouver being set to take Boqvist no matter what and looking to see if they can extract an extra pick from a team, namely the Rangers or Hawks.

It's potentially no skin off their nose, and maybe they pick up an extra pick or two.

 

[GregSirico]

Better than Nico? I have my doubts...

Quinn Hughes looks like he's literally dancing on the ice. He eludes people like it's nothing.

 

[ManUtdTobbe]

Why do you think he's apparently falling so much?

He's not falling, others are Rising for (dumb) reasons like recency bias and positional needs. (Dobson and Kotkaniemi)

This screams Quinn Hughes

Probably a sound byte lifted while talking about Dahlin so as to "throw off the scent"

 

[Fvital92]

Soccer....sucks.

[E-Train]

Obviously, I'm pumped for tonight. I am really excited for @Joey Bones day 2 reactions. Especially when there will be plenty NYR picks at last.

 

[NYR]

Only 3:30 and my refresh f5 finger is getting worn out already.

Time to close shop, crack a beer and wait for the incoming board meltdown.

LGR!

Cheers

It's a very narrow description of Brady Tkachuk, especially considering what I heard a variety of hockey observers say yesterday. Tkachuk offers a heck of alot more than "a more skilled Tom Wilson". That description also elicits the type of response the @TheTakedown gave.

Who was that quote from?

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Any news on the Ranger front other than the rumor with Vancouver?

 

[NYR Viper]

I wouldn't disagree but that last comment about his skill level is what made me say Boqvist

 

[Thirty One]

Any news on the Ranger front other than the rumor with Vancouver?

They are not qualifying Adam Tambellini.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Soccer....sucks.

(Runs for cover)

Reported.

 

[ManUtdTobbe]

That quote should be Hughes, he's by far the best skater in this draft.

 

[GregSirico]

 

[NYR94]

Is anyone else picturing the Muppet character in Edge's profile pic walking down the streets of NYC staring at his phone typing frantically and swearing

 

[Ghost of jas]

Any news on the Ranger front other than the rumor with Vancouver?

According to Maloney, they like Bokk and Kaut.

 

[GregSirico]

I'd put money on it that it's Hughes.

 

[E-Train]

Outstanding find. @Edge new avatar.
