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

[WhatTheDuck]

There was some chatter about Cowan going tonight, skilled and plays hard. Looks so young still

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Maybe Carolina trades for gibson /shrug

 

[goonsaredumb]

Cowans Rankings, Leafs must of really saw something in him

 

[Rasp]

Keep the reaches coming so we get more guys dropping for us

 

[Ducks]

I mean if Cristall is actually available at 33, you take him right?

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Blues have gone with two forwards, hopefully they go D here

He had a great playoff run and TML noticed I guess. Still a reach.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

I think all the “droppers” are gone at this point

 

[Hockey Duckie]

Nelson and Haltunnen

Hoping for one of those 2 or Lardin.

I'm high on both Halttunen and Nelson, in that order. Another projected top-10 prospect before this season started in Halttunen and dropping from... ::: gasp ::: Finland. That's three drafts in a row for top end Finnish forward prospects.

 

[Anaheim4ever]

I wonder if the Coyotes will just keep picking every Russian they can so they all arrive at the same time when they move to Houston/Atlanta/Portland/Milwaukee/QuebecCity

 

[Terry Yake]

you have to take cristall if he's there at 33

 

[Anaheim4ever]

Colorado needs a LW to replace Landeskog spot, perhaps Henrique for 31st pick

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Pretty good 1st round for blues

 

[Hockey Duckie]

That's their only pick until round 5. Kinda limited and they went for their homerun swing.

No. Way too many red flags.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Don’t think there’s any trades coming, kinda a weird draft

 

[tomd]

Heidt or Edstrom probably the best forwards left.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

No. Way too many red flags.

Agreed, anyone you like at 33 potentially (obviously 3 more picks to ruin it)

Yeah with what's left, his size and scoring ability definitely intrigues. Edstrom seems interesting, Sawchyn as well.

I also don't know that the big goalie Hrabal isn't the highest upside play left. Never huge on using early picks on goalies unless they are special, but he looks pretty damn good.

That's my list of four, so that we are guaranteed a shot at least one haha.

 

[Ducks]

I heard that Cristall was one of the guys likely to fall out of the first round potentially since he's polarizing, but the only knocks on him that I'm aware of are his skating and physical maturity, both of which could get ironed out with the right training and he's just so skilled on top of it.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Heidt or Edstrom probably the best forwards left.

Edstrom would be fine… if we’re going for boom potential maybe a guy like nadeau

 

[tomd]

I don't want to jinx it!

 

[tomd]

Nadeau at 30

 

[Ducks]

Nadeau off the board now.

 

[goonsaredumb]

Nadeau gone, I hope his teammate Suniev is still available at 59
