GDT: NHL Draft 2023

[danteipp]

I am pulling for Anaheim and San Jose at #1 and #2, so Bedard and Fantilli head out West. But, if the fix is in, I expect a combo of Chicago, Philly and Washington to come out 1-3.

Did espn just glitch or something between the 4 and 3?

 

[Surfrat]

would not be surprised with Chicago at #1

I think they did, Mickey Mouse production but what do you expect with ESPN and Bill Daly in charge?

Like they said after 4, Chicago moved up, but how would they have known?

 

[Lame Lambert]

Tell me this lottery isn’t rigged

Kane to Bedard. Not a bad transition

original six

 

[danteipp]

Lol, so rigged. Terrible glitches and production values too. Bedard to Chicago was obvious, probably sealed as soon as Chicago (tried) to help out the Rags with Kane. At least they didn't pump up the rest of the East, but Chicago deserves NO happiness. Their owner is scum.

 

[JRD76]

so chicago fans got see the hawks win 3 cups in 6 years and watch a superstar in patrick Kane for so many years and now get to see a generational talent. I guess them ripping the team apart to tank this past season worked. Feel bad for fans of teams that been shitty for a long time and needed a player like Bedard. Guess im just ranting because the hawks was the one team i didnt want getting Bedard lol

Bailey putting up a 60 point season next to Bedard next year

 

[Zeeker]

This is terrible for most fans, but really fine for us lol

Nobody in the East moved us and CBJ moved down

 

[doublechili]

Did espn just glitch or something between the 4 and 3?

Yes, they did. Once they announced that CBJ moved back from 2 to 3, the only possible outcome was that CHI moved from #3 to #1. I was able to piece that together during the commercial break.

Also, all of the FLA player names are already etched on the Stanley Cup.

Yes, screw Columbus. Jarmo is an atrocious GM.

 

[NC 1972]

I guess Chicago wasn’t on Bettman’s s..t list any longer.

League probably will air ball draw live now after this. Daly got caught majorly lying. Interview with him in 2016 said he doesn’t know what the order is and that Gary and another are in the room so he was caught fibbing there.

It is ridiculous that they don't do it live. There is zero downside to televising the drawing live, unless there is something you don't want everyone to see. Daly is such a tool.

 

[SI90]

Fantilli is going to be a monster. Glad he isn’t going to Columbus to team up with Kent Johnson. But Leo Carlsson who is likely to go third looks like he’s going to be a beast as well. Couldn’t definitely see this being one of the more easier top 3 picks to predict

I am happy that Columbus (shouldn't) get Bedard or Fantilli. Six top-10 picks for the Blue Jackets since 2010 is a lot.

Add in some very favorable trades going their way, including multiple cap dumps by Chicago to their buddy Jarmo (first Saad when he was still good, then Panarin), then dumping the corpse of Seth Jones on Chicago for multiple firsts, and Johnny Columbus last year.

They have had enough help.

Must be nice

 

[JTToilinginToronto]

He's out West, so good for us.

Im very interested to see where Mitchkov goes. Does he fall because of being in Russia? He is likely close to being as good as Bedard.

They say he’s ridiculously talented. I could see CBJ definitely being interested in him and they’re not afraid to go Russian but I just see Jarmo falling in love with Carlsson.

 

[Lame Lambert]

Hey at least they didn’t sign Kovulchuk to a 12 year contract or watch prospects workout before the combine.
