GDT: Draft thread Day 2 - 11AM

[ACC1224]

No but the difference is you can decide in November that Nylander’s ask is too high and trade him.
Marner has a NMC in a few days.

Correct, you won't know Marners ask.

 

[VanW27]

With the lack of picks I'd be surprised if we don't trade back.

 

[Larcos_Unal]

I want lots of deals, I want absolute chaos...let's go Bundy

Ross Colton going to Colorado

 

[BertCorbeau]

With the lack of picks I'd be surprised if we don't trade back.

A lot of teams rebuilding teams have multiple picks too that make good trade partners to move down

 

[al secord]

Has Treliving drafted anyone yet? What's he waiting for?!

 

[JT AM da real deal]

Take a big fast D or C with our 1st round pick .. a kid with an edge and enough size to withstand a Cup run

 

[SprDaVE]

Colton + a 1st for Newhook is good work from Sakic and MacFarland

 

[Burnie97]

It goes on to talk about Otto Stenburg. I don't know much about him but the stats look good other then when he played against men in Forlunda.

Sounds like maybe a confidence thing. Anyone know much about him.

He played C but then played more wing later.

It'd be nice to get another solid C in the organization.

 

[Rob Brown]

Colton + a 1st for Newhook is good work from Sakic.

He isn't GM anymore but yes, tidy work by the Avs.

 

[Burnie97]

Unless I'm missing his sarcasm... I mean every other teams management is there. It'd be pretty silly not to show up.

I think more just a joke given that they had barely any picks before this trade.

Figured with the trade they made for ... forget his name now but it was like 4 picks for him lol



Please someone take Murray... c'mon Chicago

 

[ChuckWoods]

Hopefully, maybe, Willy gets dealt today.

 

[Nineteen67]

The Leafs are in a precarious spot; not a Cup contender, but not awful, with a few assets that could be moved to fill a hole without creating another hole.

Interesting to see what they do.

 

[Budz]

Hopefully, maybe, Willy gets dealt today.

Got something for us Chuck?

Why anyone would want Quick is beyond me. He had a brief resurgence last year, but has looked cooked for the last 5 years otherwise.

I get the market sucks, but if Quick is attracting interest, we should have no issues finding a spot for Murray with 50% retained.

I am also surprised that Chicago wants a goalie. Are they buying out Mrazek? I figured they'd want Soderblom to get a legit chance in net and they do still have Mrazek.

 

[Schenn]

Hopefully, maybe, Willy gets dealt today.

 

[EGL22]

With Dubas gone for the first time in years I don't have to just check out prospects that are under 6 feet or under 180 lbs or not Canadians.

As my girls would say, "is the tea hot?'

I think we should behighlighting Montreal's incompetence here more than anything. lol

 

[1specter]

IMO it's still a Masai Ujiri / Bobby Webster type scenario, I'm sure Sakic's fingerprints are on it

 

[daethfromabove1979]

Treliving loves drafting from CHL, but he doesn't discriminate and drafts them big and small.

Yes, he HATED big players with skill.

 

[Rob Brown]

Sure, just worth noting. You also have Avs fans on the trade boards saying 'glad Sakic is our GM', bit sad lol.

Draft Day is the juice of the hockey futures' site. It's like Christmas for draft junkies.

Sadly Kyle Dubas has created a sparse (almost desolate) selection process for quite some time now.

Ultimately he's "cancelled Christmas" on us more than I like to acknowledge.

Ok. That might me my final parting shot at Kyle. MMM...maybe not.
