Milic just went to the Jets. Backup taken before the starter.
GDT: NHL 2023 Entry Draft - Day 2/First Round complete, Rounds 2-7 June 29, 2023; 11:00 a.m. Eastern

I think it was Hradek speaking, he called Ratzlaff a sneaky good pick by us. Likened him to Dustin Wolf going around the same range.
It wasn't Hradek. Some guy named Jason. Hradek talks all mealy mouthed and sounds like an idiot.

Ratzlaff is pretty solid here. Played great behind a loaded team. Also on hockey Canada's radar, so he will get some extra work/instruction through that avenue
At this point who the heck knows.
Aron Jessli. He will be at Niagara next year. Seems like a total PITA and a good 7th round get.

Milic is 20 and Ratzlaff is a first-time eligible. OA's always go later.
Ruslan Khazheyev to Carolina because Carolina is Carolina-ing.

Love it. LOVE it. Adams is checking nearly every box I/we wanted him to.
It's been fantastic.

If we were in Montreal’s spot at 5 I think we would have taken Michkov…but if we wouldn’t I would have wanted them to take Benson. So I found the first round delightful.
Strbak was near the very top of my round 2 wants And I wanted them to use a mid-late round pick on a goalie…so that worked out
A couple big forwards with upside and another good RHD prospect…
tough not to like what has happened in this draft.

Absolutely wonderful. Needs met, critics silenced for the most part.
How about you and yours? Opinion?

For those who wanted it, now's the time to swing for Luke Mittelstadt.
Not the 2nd/3rd round like some were suggesting.

And it works. For all we pumped Botts tires for the Skinner deal, Kotchetkov and Nikishin are the picks who they gave up and that's one of the best goalie prospects and the best defenseman not in the NHL right there.
Enjoying it mostly. No complaints. The Quinn injury news though is terrible.
It's a literal masterpiece, couldn't be happier in any achievable way.
