GDT: NHL 2023 draft 🎲 lottery 🎲 5pm PT, ESPN - Ducks will select 2nd overall

[ScarTroy]

Trying to be rational for a second:

Zegras
Terry
Fantilli
McTavish
Drysdale
Mintyukov
Zellweger

Time to win some hockey games

Let me be sad for another 10 minutes please, and then I’ll revisit this post

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

_______ McTavish Terry
Zegras Fantilli ______

Not bad!

If only comtois ared about NHL hcokey as much as he cared about beach hockey, hed be a great fit

hoping we can find a good winger with our 2nd round pick to help fill out those other 2 spots.

Also think Pastujov or Perreault could be potential guys there.

 

[ADHB]

He's an insider.

The whole thing is a joke anyway since they already knew the results. Should have doubled down on Weekes' gimmick and had him film his segment saying "breaking news, breaking news!" while sitting on the toilet or something.

 

[NHL Fanatik]

Idk I love Fantilli

Michkov is also insane and could show up on an incredibly cheap ELC when Anaheim's on the come-up

But I can see not wanting to wait for the new shiny toy lmfao

 

[Smirnov2Chistov]

Isnt fantilli pretty competitve on both sides too?

Playing in college vs professionals is a different story

 

[gilfaizon]

I don’t care about mean streaks, I care about being competitive on both sides of the ice. Carlsson can be that guy in all situations. He’s played against men already in a competitive league

Incredibly short sighted.

 

[KelVarnsen]

Ducks have a much better future right now than the hawks. Bedard may be awesome but he’s in for some long term pain playing all by himself.

 

[ReptilianQuack]

This also means we will have a "Tank" thread for another 2-3 years on this Forum.

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

Sucks to lose Bedard but we will get a good player and one that'll have more team success too.

 

[AngelDuck]

He's more of a "competitor" than Carlsson. Quite honestly, he's a faster Toews.

 

[Gliff]

I guess on the bright side, we technically did actually win a drawing. Unfortunately, it was for #2, but it's something. Is that the first time in franchise history?

Bad side of this, this is one of our 2 wins in 5 years, even though we dropped lol.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Really doesnt matter they both will be playing professionals shortly.

100%, they have no Malkin or Draisaitl

 

[Smirnov2Chistov]

Incredibly short sighted.

Lmao please explain how

 

[branmuffin17]

Please Verbeek, please stop saying "y'know." Please?

 

[Smirnov2Chistov]

We’ll just agree to disagree. I get you love Fantilli, much prefer Carlsson

 

[gilfaizon]

Lmao please explain how

Because Carlsson is playing in a mens league hes a better fit? Bedard is also playing in the CHL, your argument ends there.

 

[Tony O]

Does Fantilli stay in college or come straight to Anaheim? College picks make me nervous ever since Schultz.

 

[Arthuros]

Maybe Chicago picks michkov…

Biggest plot twist in the history of the league.

The second biggest plot twist is if WE draft Michkov.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Its nothing really about that im all ears on either player. Im happy with whoever the org goes with.


I just think your points for Carlsson over fantilli are a little on the weak side is all.

 

[ScarTroy]

Eh boys/girls at least we get to watch meaningful hockey for the first time in 4 years. The world championships are going to be so fun to watch knowing we get our pick of our guy

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

The second biggest plot twist is if WE draft Michkov.

Imagine Chicago takes Michkov... and were so commited to fantilli/carlsson that we say nah and go for 1 of them.. and bedard goes to columbus at 3.

 

[ADHB]

Bad side of this, this is one of our 2 wins in 5 years, even though we dropped lol.

When did we win a drawing before? I'm not remembering one other than the weird Crosby year.

edit: Oh I see what you mean. I think it's mentioned elsewhere, but I believe the rule says you can only move up twice in 5 seasons. This doesn't count against us.

 

[mightyquack]

Verbeek: "in the last few days of the season we were looking at pick 5-7, and that would have been really disappointing".

Yeah, we tanked.

But PV said he expected us to be a .500 team months ago so clearly this season was a failure!
