GDT: NHL Draft 7/23 R1 7pm ESPN 7/24 R2-7 Nhl Net

[GaryU]

Truth, but kind of unfair.

This draft was mired with the pandemic. There’s bound to be a lot of wrongs on evaluation of the players this year

Especially by you in this case.

Peter Reynolds is better than every single pick the Hawks made.

Damn! Too bad we missed him. Where did he go again?

Damn! Too bad we missed him. Where did he go again?

Where did Panarin get drafted? Marty St Louis? Giordano? Kunitz?

Peter Reynolds is better than every single pick the Hawks made.

He played 33 games and only against a small number of teams (5ish) from Atlantic Canada. The Atlantic group of the Q did not play against any of the Quebec teams due to travel restrictions. They had what was called "The Atlantic Bubble" which made travel between those provinces (Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, PEI and New Brunswick) a lot tougher.

There is zero chance any scout who wasn't based in Atlantic Canada saw him play live.

It was a sample size issue. With skill players you need to see their play and to see whether they can sustain that over a season and how they handle tougher competition. If he's the real thing, he'll get drafted next year. I think several skill players will probably be in the same position.

Where did Panarin get drafted? Marty St Louis? Giordano? Kunitz?

LOL c'mon. You're better than that.

I’m still waiting for Mustos 2019 boy toy Keppen to prove he is better than Teply

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

Make that four goals

Fun, he's doing exactly what Scouch said would happen. Gets drafted, quits squeezing the stick.

Stanley takes another L

Stanley takes another L

Doesn't mean anything at this point. Undrafted guys attend camps all the time. Can it really be a Stanley L if every team passed on him multiple times over?

 

[jls24]

I would love it if we invited Almquist to camp.

Stanley takes another L

Hes still not going to date you fam

I would love it if we invited Almquist to camp.

Chicago if they drafted Peter Reynolds

Chicago if they drafted Peter Reynolds

Absolutely

 

[newmanager]

I like the direction the team has taken in the past 3 drafts. More in line (size wise) with the leagues top teams like Tampa. Going to be a few years until we reap the benefits though.
