GDT: NHL Draft Day 2

[Doctyl]

What’s the expected return for Reinhart?

1st and a goalie

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Looks much worse than last years lineup

It'll be better by default because Quinn is gone.

 

[Nickmo82]

What’s the expected return for Reinhart?

Better than Blais + 2nd, no doubt.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Signing Danault feels like a disaster waiting to happen man

 

[FIRE DRURY]

Looks much worse than last years lineup

Looks a lot more balanced and grittier than last season.

 

[EdJovanovski]

How?

Buchnevich, Strome, Blackwell >>>>> Goodrow, Blais, Danault (if we even get him)

 

[TheKing30]

Their banking on big steps forward from the kids

 

[Doctyl]

Danault is like a guy that solves all the issues a lot of you love to complain about. He has grit and he is excellent at faceoffs. Yet you're blacklisting him?

 

[MarkMessyay11]

Have to hope that Kakko, Laf and Kravtsov are ready to step up big time.

Agreed. But this is statement holds true no matter what transactions Drury made/makes this summer.

 

[EdJovanovski]

What’s the expected return for Reinhart?

Kakko, Shesterkin, 2022 1st if they were trading with us

 

[Doctyl]

Buchnevich, Strome, Blackwell >>>>> Goodrow, Blais, Danault (if we even get him)

Buchnevich is more talented, but I'm not sure what good playing Laf and Kravtsov in checking roles does for this team. If the 3 kids cant replace Buchnevich's production, we might as well blow it up and start all over again. I would take Danault and Goodrow over Strome and Blackwell 10 times out of 10

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Danault is like a guy that solves all the issues a lot of you love to complain about. He has grit and he is excellent at faceoffs. Yet you're blacklisting him?

for 6 years 6M+ at 29 years old?

again, it would be targeting the right players but wanting to pay 50% tax

 

[I Eat Crow]

Looks much worse than last years lineup

Except it's not

 

[Doctyl]

for 6 years 6M+ at 29 years old?

Thats pretty standard market value for a 2C, no?

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Thats pretty standard market value for a 2C, no?

Sure if he can put up enough points to be a 2C

 

[EdJovanovski]

for 6 years 6M+ at 29 years old?

Drury is just a generous guy

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Better than Blais + 2nd, no doubt.

It should be.

He's better than Buchnevich.

 

[FIRE DRURY]

Danault is like a guy that solves all the issues a lot of you love to complain about. He has grit and he is excellent at faceoffs. Yet you're blacklisting him?

Him and Goodrow will be beasts on the PK too. And they’re both good on the dot. The more time they’re on the ice when we’re a man down, the less Zbad is.

 

[tomobson]

Smith - Hajek not being our third pair is enough to make us a better team next year.

 

[Doctyl]

Sure if he can put up enough points to be a 2C

We've been over his ES production before. He is productive playing on an offensive blackhole of a team. He isnt best utilized as a PP guy, ES and PK while still putting up top 6 center production for those minutes.

 

[FIRE DRURY]

I was today years old when I realized you’re two different people.

 

[AlaBlueShirt]

I would love Danault but the price tag is just too much

 

[Doctyl]

I was today years old when I realized you’re two different people.

Yea...I have to rebrand in ~70 days

 

[Rangers in 7]

After getting a nice nights sleep here’s how I see yesterday:

the rangers did not get the greatest return for buch, however this opens up space for kakko, laf and kravtsov to her more ice time. This was always the plan. I loved buch but truthfully for us to become a cup contender it’s the three forwards I mentioned above that are going to have to ply a huge roll. The buch trade is what it is

the Othman pick was bpa for the rangers and the other center prospects all have question marks. By the time any of those centers are ready the roster makeup would be completely different. None of those guys were going to jump in next season and play important minutes. I can get behind our pick

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

We've been over his ES production before. He is productive playing on an offensive blackhole of a team. He isnt best utilized as a PP guy, ES and PK while still putting up top 6 center production for those minutes.

So does Chytil.. but if he doesn't play the PP neither will Danault
