GDT: Draft thread Day 2 - 11AM

[4thline]

Only 3 Canadians
7 were 5' 9" or less and weighed between 145-180

9 were 5'11" or less and 6 were 180 or less

4 were 6'-6" 2" and were 160,165.170 and 190.

So looking at the whole picture and not just a snapshot I do believe my point is made.

This is a very complicated way of saying that 13/20 were 5'10 - 6'2

Not really as there were 3 factors involved,height/weight/Canadian.

So it breaks down more to 4/20 were over 6 feet and also only 4 were over 180 and only 1 over 6 foot and over 180.

I knew Dubas always said size did not matter but I did not think it was this drastic.

Glad he is gone.

Congrats to Flames for being the pettiest team in the league

Right? What do they think is going to happen? If he wanted to trade up above CGY and pick their player, not being at the table is not going to prevent that...

Former Panthers scout and now Fan590 expert, Bukala (sp) on the Fan590 this morning was saying Wes Clark valued those types of players.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Now we are rumors to be after Reeves or Woord in free agency LOL. Exactly what I knew would happen. Our idiot GM is going to overpay a bunch of replacement level players and f*** us even harder.

See my tag line. JOKE.

 

[SprDaVE]

It's not a draft day without reading discussions about the size of players and how it needs to be. Never change... never change.

Thanks for directing me to your tag line. I now understand what you were talking about.

Damn good pick up for the Penguins for a 3rd round pick. 2 years left at a 5M cap hit for a 25 goal scorer that just won the cup...

I wonder who's the GM there?

Good players seem cheap right now... I'd start shopping instead of waiting for Free Agency

Capped out teams looking to dump good players. Rebuilding teams willing to eat 50% to dump good players. Sounds like the Leafs should get involved.

But no... we need a 3rd pairing LD at a premium price. Can't wait.

Love that the Penguins are trying to get even older. They may have interest in JT or Gio?

I'd be asking about Garland with retention, Duclair is being shopped (think he'd fit nicely with Tavares and can move Willy to 3RW), not sure if there is value in Mantha retained, and Kuznetsov wants out, half of Calgary is leaving.

Start looking into some creative options there.

They will be in a rebuild soon, and a 2 year contract of a 32 year old is not really an issue.

What exactly are the Leafs trading to get involved in soms of these deals?

They have nothing of value anywhere? I don't think we're at that point.

Leafs are focused on the most important negotiations perhaps in Leafs history... Trying to get Holl and Kerfoot re-signed

Go ahead and tell me.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Our 5th and 6th round picks, rights to all of our impending UFAs, or a plethora of undersized wing prospects.

 

[SprDaVE]

Go ahead and tell me.

I don't know. You're the one that seems to disagree, you tell me. They have a first round pick, they have other picks in other years. They have prospects that have a variety of value. They have roster players, some are even considered elite, to trade and mix it up.

Are you saying none of that has value? They don't have a 3rd round pick? a 6th round pick?

But the rebuttal will be that they have no value, right? They never do.

Smith went for a 3rd, Hayes at 50% went for a 6th, Hall just went for free, Johansen at 50% went for free.

Cap space is valuable it seems.

It's fairly common actually. As an example, pretty sure when Rick Dudley left Toronto to go to the Habs, we made him sit out at least a round.

28th overall this year, 1st next year, so picks they should probably start keeping around.

A 3rd in 2024, 2025.

Nick robertson

A bunch of meh prospects.

No exactly the most desirable list of things.

 

[HockeyVirus]

I usually don't do this, but I have a friend at the draft and Treliving has been talking to Doug Armstrong A LOT apparently. He claims that he lip read "Nylander" from them as their table is right in front of his seats.

So... Nylander to the Blues tonight? Paryako? IDK what makes sense

I dont see how theres a fit there with any of those players with the Leafs cap wise until they know for sure what Matthews and Nylander are getting

isn't Paryako basically a cap dump?

Also, aren't Armstrong and Treliving close? Maybe I am thinking of someone else and Armstrong, but maybe they are just talking
