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

[bobbop]

Dobson.

Wrong one. Dobson is a wonderful skater. Bouchard not as much.

 

[jerseyjinx94]

Is there any pre-draft coverage on NHL network or anything?

 

[Synergy27]

My own preference would be for Dobson to fall somehow... and I'd also be OK with Tkachuk or Kotkaniemi or any of the three you list here. A little afraid of Wahlstrom being yet another Ranger floater, but there are plenty of opinions out here to the contrary, so... OK there too, I guess. I haven't left Gorton & Co. too many ways to thoroughly outrage me with the first NYR pick tonight, so agreed... let's just DO this already! The afternoon is dragging horribly. Time to crack the first bottle.

I'll be happy with any of the consensus\rumored names being the decision at 9. I'm fine if Farabee sneaks in there too. I'm not convinced that Wahlstrom will have a better NHL career than Farabee. It's going to really suck watching him fall right into the Icelanders laps.

@Amazing Kreiderman We need you. Run to the table, snatch any paper you can get your hands on, go to the closest bathroom, take pictures and upload them. Then just surrender yourself. They will just kick you out of the country.

 

[Blueblood9]

So ive not been following the prospects since the end of the season but before i stopped following Zadina was firmly entrenched as the #3 guy. What the hell happened that there is now a possibility he falls to 9. Did he get arrested or something?

This is outstanding - now picturing this to (actually) occur..

Yes... on NHLN now.

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

Spent most of the day rearranging furniture in my bedroom so I don’t have to worry about the draft, I finished and it’s still 3 hours away

It's not so much Zadina falling as it is others rising.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I was expecting more reactions. I suspect most didn't understand the reference.

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

Yes... on NHLN now.

Then NBCSN at 7.00.

I’m sober tonight and available for translation services for the inebriated.

 

[LaffyTaffy]

Yeah watching now, nothing crazy but it is sure getting me pumped. I am watching because on occasion they pan to the draft floor and I play Wheres Waldo with Gorton LMAO

Dont worry I'll drink for you.

from what I gather, he's a little soft and tends to defer the puck handling responsibilities to his linemates, especially though the neutral zone.

Sorry, wasn't sure why i was convinced it was Dobson.

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

I probably get it on the ADA side, not so much the Lehner side.

 

[Captain Lindy]

I have a bad feeling though

Buffalo - Dahlin
Carolina - Svetchnikov
Montreal - Kotkaniemi
Ottawa - Zadina
Arizona - Hughes
Detroit - Dobson/Bouchard?
Vancouver - Tkachuk
Chicago - Wahlstrom
NYR - Bouchard/Dobson?

I wanted a top forward goal scorer.

So do I. In my opinion if we pick D, it may be a sign of a long rebuild up ahead.

 

[LeetchisGod]

The calm before the storm. We need first liners by any means necessary.

 

[Irishguy42]

Wahlstrom. No matter what. If the Canucks want to do 7 for 9+48 or 39, and Wahlstrom is there, I do it.

Chicago will definitely get Wahlstrom otherwise.

The problem is that if we do that trade and both Wahlstrom and Tkachuk are there we will take Tkachuk and I cant afford a new tv right now so I would like this one to remain intact.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Any of Zadina/Tkachuk/Hughes/Wahlstrom/Kotkaniemi/Dobson and I am a VERY happy man. Basically trusting in @Edge list and that they NYR make it happen.

Big night for the future of the NYR either way.

 

[Alluckks]

I'm astonished there hasn't been any trades yet

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

If the Rangers make a bad pick I’m blaming @Edge

And I’ll do it IN PERSON
