GDT: NHL Draft 2023 | 4:00 PT | ESPN, SN, TVAS

I do hope Bedard disappoints. I never want to see someone outright bust personally. But I hope he's merely an all star level player

Seems like a nice boy, don't have anything against him.

 

[AngelDuck]

Kent French just confirmed that Gibson asked for a trade.

Did he really? Well, a Pitt trade makes too much sense

Seems like a nice boy, don't have anything against him.

Oh, I definitely don't either. I just don't want the Hawks to have anything good happen.

Don’t blame him after last season.

 

[ohcomeonref]

Is anyone listening to the Ducks broadcast or just watching on ESPN? I'd love to hear things with a Ducks slant

 

[McDonald19]

If they reach their max potential I see comparisons like:

Fantilli - Mike Modano/Andrei Svechnikov
Leo Carlsson - Barkov/Joe Thornton without the mean streak
Michkov - Caufield on super steroids.

Fantilli plays with more of an edge than those comps. He likes to body check and will punch someone in the face if needed.

Where?

 

[Ducks]

Where?

Live on the Ducks Stream.

He's got in 1 fight... and he didn't even take his gloves off. Where did you get that from? Yes he has a mean streak but I haven't ever seen him punch someone in the face. Svech and Modano both play/played physical and with speed.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Where does gibson + a 2nd (not ours) get us lol

There's no fighting in college

It;s tough to say what kind of fighter he really is

Not as much as some think... unless we retain which would be stupid IMO.

Exactly.

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

Someone challenge em to a fist fight before we pick

 

[Mortal Wombat]

Kent French just confirmed that Gibson asked for a trade.

Yep, and he said that it's been public information.

Could he mean the "Gibson is open to being traded" thing form a while back? Maybe he doesn't realize that he was the first one to word it as a trade request. So maybe he just inadvertently spilled the beans.

 

[DigiDuck]

Kent French just confirmed that Gibson asked for a trade.

Not surprising. He deserves a shot at playing meaningful games again.

Pittsburgh and Jersey should be in on him.

 

[AngelDuck]

We're going to have to take back a dogshit contract in a Gibson trade but I personally prefer that to retaining 50%

 

[2faded]

Still salty Chicago has the pick.

 

[Ducks]

Takeaways from the Verbeek and Madden interviews a few mins ago:

1. Ducks will be drafting size at #2
2. Team made up their mind a few weeks ago
3. North American scouting staff was unanimous in who they wanted to draft, regional scouts made arguments for their guys though.

 

[Mr Rogers]

David Poile looks like a grandma haha

 

[forever1922]

Bettman riding Poile as the boo-shield.

He’s come out and said he doesn’t mind fighting. Of course NCAA doesn’t allow it so the stats don’t show it. I watched a ton of Modano and I don’t remember him enjoying body checking. Amazing player though.

 

[Terry Yake]

so gibson sticks around for a handful of awful seasons and then wants out when the team is in a position to get better? lol

should've traded him after 2019

 

[SouthernCal]

Just because someone says they don't mind fighting doesn't mean anything lol

 

[Goose of Reason]

I'm sitting here so nervously when I'm honestly fine with any of Fantilli/Carlsson/Michkov and I have no idea why

Gibson to Pittsburgh for 14?
