GDT: NHL Draft 2023

[Chapin Landvogt]

So, the Isles have their Nordic pick out of the system.

Still, wouldn't mind Swedish Dmen Landen or Wikman with the next pick.

@Chapin Landvogt thoughts on Nurmi?

 

[Dutch Frost]

The pick is...


Jesse Nurmi



Is that good?

to quote the horrible Michael Rappaport on drafting Porzingis - WHO THE $#% IS THIS GUY??!?!?!?!?!?

Very good with the puck. Can skate with it. Can dish it. Can shoot it.

Not a guy you want on the ice without the puck.

If im watching round 2-7, i want to hear about the prospects. Not marleau or mcphee

 

[IslesNorway]

Next up will be the overagers and teammates of other Isles prospects.

 

[Skip To My Lou]

Of course. Two of my favorites to divisional opponents. Ciernik to PHI.

5'11 - 165lbs??!?!?! 165 lbs???? Dear god, lets get this kid a dozen bagels a day and lots of red meat. He needs to bulk up.

 

[Metnut]

Nurmi kid looks like maybe a taller Ishkatov?

With Bailey gone, Lou can now re-sign Engvall, who'll likely get upside of 3.5 MM per.

In essence, Engvall is picked up for a 2nd and a 3rd.

If Engvall re-signs that may be how Lou viewed the Bailey trade, ie., is it worth a '26 2nd rounder to be able to keep Engvall.

You rarely see lifelong Islander fans in the NHL. Classically he goes to the Rags.

Potentially working out with Maggio. So not the worst risks to take late in a draft.

Not many Isles fans from Rockland

That was at least a year ago in that clip

Reminds me of my friend and lifelong Isles fan Keith Kinkaid ending up playing for the Rags and Devils haha.

 

[leeroggy]

Well, if Arem Minnetian is still on the board, then wow wow wee wah.

I'd be doing cartwheels if we could add him.

Maybe at 145 . . .

Edit: nope, went 125

Worked out with Devon Toews as well

is mathew mania a good pick for a right dman?

 

[Skip To My Lou]

is mathew mania a good pick for a right dman?

I'm a fan.

 

[Chapin Landvogt]

is mathew mania a good pick for a right dman?

Absolutely!

Would be a fairly wonderful selection at 145.

 

[seafoam]

I get Tomas Tatar vibes.

 

[JRD76]

Absolutely!

Would be a fairly wonderful selection at 145.

Hope they pick some Right dmen

Interesting, The Hockey News had Nurmi rated higher than Nelson. Had Nurmi at 95 and Nelson at 98.
