GDT: Draft thread Day 2 - 11AM

[mikeyz]

Why are the boards crashing?

Draft day. So there’s probably a shit ton of people online right now. And the more traffic, the better chance the site crashes.

Coyotes look like a band from the 50s. Beach boys or something

All of their fans. All 5 of you

Habs board melting down and I don't blame them

They're completely botched their last two super high 1st rounders

Yeah but who was a better selection than Slaf at the time?

 

[uncleben]

I genuinely feel bad for him.
That's a nightmare scenario for me. Public presentation, not only in front of 1000s in person, but millions on TV, and you full on freeze..!



Conspiracy: Habs never meant to take Reinbacher. Price started with the wrong first name, froze, and then the team was like, "f*** it, who is the highest ranked David???"

 

[Canada4Gold]

whoa

 

[supermann_98]

If Arizona takes Michkov he's never coming over right?

Arizona will have relocated by the time he joins the league

 

[Steven1562]

What?!? Simashev at 7? Wow.

 

[TheDoldrums]

MICHKOV NOT EVEN THE FIRST RUSSIAN???

 

[al secord]

Price had too much herbal tea

 

[Fonzieleaf]

Hot damn. They pick a Russian and it wasn't Michkov.

 

[Peace Frog]

I believe that the Michkov camp basically said there’s only one team he wants to play for. I imagine that is why teams are passing on him.

 

[fahad203]

Wait what? why ? how ? why?

 

[Steven1562]

Never thought the first Russian off the board would Simashev over Michkov lol.

I liked Simashev in the late 1st but at 6? With Leonard/Michkov there. Wow a big time reach.

 

[notbias]

What is happening................

 

[keonsbitterness]

Habs pick looks like Guy Lapointe.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Tf is this draft

 

[tmlms13]

Probably just said we're taking a D and he was next on their list. He would have been there at 12 most likely

 

[Steven1562]

You could have picked him at 12....

 

[AcerComputer]

Why would they not trade down? Wtf?

 

[uncleben]

Oh damn. Even Simashev knew it was off the board.

Early dominoes on D???

 

[notbias]

If you're Philly, you've got to take Michkov, trade all your players, and tank as hard as you can til he comes over.

 

[Schenn]

Even crazier, 6th!

What?!? Simashev at 7? Wow.

 

[MarMarSab3]

Wow

 

[Kurtz]

Did they name the wrong Russian by accident?

 

[Leaf Rocket]

There are a lot of behind the scenes hand shakes folks Caps will get his boy
