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

[Ducks DVM]

I bet that ESPN has no idea what to do with us not having a pick any time soon so they can go to commercial.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Move up for Ritchie, Musty or Barlow

 

[Anaheim4ever]

I am very, very happy for both of us. I have been very loud that Carlsson is who I wanted for Columbus, but I can’t be upset that this is how it worked out. I’m going to be watching both of them with their teams for a long time.

Columbus gets a big shot on each line now, Fantilli with Gaudreau, Laine with Johnson. Actually perfect match for them in terms of dynamic duos with playmaker paired with elite shot.

Having both Jiricek and Fantilli they are gonna wreck people in the playoffs someday lol.

Idk what we do
Zegras/Carlsson/Vatrano ?
Or Vatrano/Carlsson/Terry
I think McT is best one to stay at center as opposed to Zegras.

 

[AngelDuck]

Just such an anti-climactic showing from us. I wonder if we end up just using all our picks at their current slots

 

[LePerilsofPerreault]

Call and ask Yzerman for a favor

 

[HunterDuck]

Leo has the higher offensive potential, higher IQ and is a puck hound, and knows where to go. He can easily adapt a more physical game with his size.

Basically drafted the next Kopitar/Barkov

That Kopitar comp got me

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Move up for Ritchie, Musty or Barlow

Moore sale and perreault still on board too…. Lot of solid options to trade up for.

Figure Sandin will go soon (I also imagine we’ll see another couple dmen randomly coming)

Prob which seems kinda meh.

We need high end talent…. There’s high end talent on the board…. Take 2 picks and trade them to 1 of those guys

59/60 ain’t gunna do much for us anytime soon

Halfway through the first and I feel like a lot of these names we mention on the board are top ten guys a lot of years.

I’m so relieved at the news the Babcock deal is only two years. I’m over my initial rage and horror at the choice, but I still don’t intend to be as intense of a fan with him at the helm. I don’t think I’ll be able to stomach seeing his face all the time. It will be very interesting to see what he does with all these ingredients Jarmo is assembling for him, I will say that.

Carlsson making plays with McTavish planted in front of the net is also so exciting. Plus Anaheim’s incredible defensive prospects? I can’t wait to watch both of these teams grow. I’m so glad I picked you guys.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Fantilli seems like a great kid, hopefully he does great things in Columbus and never for some team I don't like

Honestly good for you guys. He wants to be there. Hopefully a lifetime Jacket.

Sandin to Detroit maybe?

I'm excited about Columbus as well lol. It's my aunt and cousins team.

We got a hard ass coach too, Cronin got praise from Carlyle of all ex coaches lol.

That would work well McTavish/Carlsson would be better defensively and handle tougher matchups while Zegras/Terry face weaker competition.

I'd put Gaucher on LW on Zegras line to protect him lol. Some of his antics gets players mad at him. Gaucher is a big mean boy who has some suspensions I'm QMJHL.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Jets - Moore
Hawks - Barlow
Kraken - Bonk

 

[forever1922]

Let's hope teams look at these D getting drafted and start reaching for some next tier D.

Dragicevic, Bonk, Molendyk, Minnetian, even Akey going in the 1st would really help the Ducks to get a good forward at 33.

Looking at teams with 2 firsts all took a forward already, Red Wings already split 1F 1D:

Chicago
St Louis 2 more picks
Sharks

 

[LePerilsofPerreault]

I'm so happy Barlow didn't go to CHI

 

[GunnarStahl]

Damn, that’s a great value for that pick…

 

[OCSportsfan]

Not sure who is left, but what about trading some of the 2nds for a first round talent.

 

[Goose of Reason]

Barlow legit looks 30

 

[Beckett]

I could see Chicago swinging for the fences with Cristall.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Move up for Ritchie or Musty please

 

[forever1922]

I could see Chicago swinging for the fences with Cristall.

I'm thinking they might pick Bonk but they really just need BPA, they're bare.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

I could see Chicago swinging for the fences with Cristall.

I would… start of rebuild get the high skill guys and see what happens.


But I’m sure musty Ritchie and sale seem appealing.

Moore and perreault too.

Idk who would even trade down at this point so much talent still there

Move up for Ritchie or Musty please

They both should be pat players…. I hope he’s kicking on it

 

[NWWisconsinDuck]

Selfishly hoping to see us take Charlie Stramel so I can watch him multiple times this year

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Great pick

Moore + bedard is a lethal injection of talent

Selfishly hoping to see us take Charlie Stramel so I can watch him multiple times this year

Stramel seems like the most vanilla ice cream player
