GDT: Draft lottery

[Bergey37]

Dropping from 2 to 3 isn't nearly as bad as what happened to Detroit last year - from 1 to 4? So we get the 3rd magic bean; it may still go far toward Eichel, giving BUF 2 of the top 3 picks.

I’m very intrigued by our #3 spot

I would have liked to have had a higher pick than Seattle though. It would have made a good expansion trade chip

To afraid to look at the trade board. Are the Leafs fans offering crap for Manson and 3OA yet?

Murray clearly wanted Power. You could see the disappointment in his face when they announced the ducks at 3

He did look unhappy but he looked unhappy last year as well. I think Benier was their guy personally.

I think those two kids were 1&2 on their list.

I think Eklund and Hughes can be just as good, if not better than Power/Beniers

Like I said, 3 is a whole lot better than 4

We have 5 divisional rivals in this lottery and of them only Seattle jumped past us. That’s as much as we could have asked for

As someone who wants Clarke this is fine by me I am worried Seattle will select him though. Just glad a team I hate didn't surpass us. Top 3 pick is nothing to be upset about, and there's always the chance we get a lottery win next year

Slow the brakes on Clarke lol. Seattle is taking Beniers at 2

Seattle is in no way locked into taking Beniers at 2.

Toronto fans still hiding with their heads in the sand.

I was honest to God expecting us to drop to 4. I’m assuming it’s either eklund or Hughes now

 

[Static]

Murray went out of his way to mention this draft being strong in dmen, so I don't think he was just talking about power.

 

[bsu]

If I had to guess today, I say Murray takes Hughes if Beniers is gone.

 

[GunnarStahl]

Idk why people are acting like Beniers is the consensus number two pick, he was literally ranked 4th by Bob McKenzie with a split between him and 2-3. Presuming Power goes first and second is either Guenther or Edvinsson then I’d say our pick is probably gonna be either the remainder of Guenther and Edvinsson or Beniers

I think his debut in the Worlds have increased his ranking

 

[sasha barkov]

we're taking Hughes or Mctavish. Realistically, I see CLB taking Mason if we dont. Very similar to dubois stylistically and reached for dubios, i expect the same at 5 if mctavish is available.

fairly certain our pick will be hughes . Makes too much sense

 

[GunnarStahl]

That is fair, if the next Bob list has him ranked as a unanimous second overall then that will give us more clarity but I’m just saying 2-4 could likely be any combination of Edvinsson/Guenther/Beniers/whoever so there’s no need to be abandoning the idea of him being in the black and orange in July

People get mad because they think of it as "dropping."

In reality, you were always in the 4th spot, with a chance to move up if you got lucky.
