GDT: NHL Draft R1 (6/28): 6pm CT (ESPN/ESPN+), R2-7 (6/29): 10:30am CT (NHLN/ESPN+)

[Minnesota]

Brodin comparison? I feel old.

 

[Circulartheory]

I'd have him behind Yurov but ahead of Wallstedt. I still love Wallstedt.

We have arguably the #1 goalie prospect in the world (Wallstedt - #20 OV draft)
We have arguably a top #5 center prospect in the world (Yurov - #24 OV draft)
We have arguably a top #10 dman prospect in the world (Buium - #13 OV draft) - Yeah, he's better than the other dmen in this draft other than Levshunov - Hobey Baker nonimee at 18yrs old.

Woot!

No size, though. Bye bye Rossi.

Let's trade Gus Bus and Lambos for Askarov and run Wally/Askarov for the next decade! =D

You need a 1C, 1D and 1G to win a Cup, and now we've completed the first step

No size, though. Bye bye Rossi.

I'm legitimately wondering if we see a Rossi for McGroarty swap later tonight or tomorrow. McGroarty is likely NHL ready to take Rossi's spot and Hartman could fill in as a top 6 C again next season.

 

[Jbcraig1883]

There goes Heidt's boi.

 

[AKL]

Eiserman is in shambles at this point

 

[Wasted Talent]

I wonder if Guerin/Brackett were more worried about some other team trading up than Flyers picking Buium

 

[DANOZ28]

with our 2nd i want a big RHD.

Kleber is around that range...6'5 RH. Spencer Gill, too.

[AKL]

It's time to start thinking about whether we should take Eiserman at 45 or not

 

[keppel146]

Emery?

Could you imagine if we traded back before the draft? (Like Buffalo did I think?) I’d be pissed!

 

[Roman Maroni]

Billy and Judd on way up for that pick! Giddy with happiness!

 

[Circulartheory]

Kleber is around that range...6'5 RH. Spencer Gill, too.

There are TONS of big bodied men available at 45# and we need one in the prospect works.

Gill, Kleber, Skahan, Brunicke, Fischer.

Skahan isn't a RHD, right? I have Brunicke higher than 45 and Fischer about 30 behind 45. If we are just talking size, let's go Pulkkinen baby! Or Eliasson later!

 

[Roman Maroni]

Compared to last year with Charlie Strammel...

 

[ThatGuy22]

Lou needs to retire

Gabriel Eliasson, 6'7 207 lbs D, Evil incarnated. Most penalized player in J20 National Sweden.

Yep, mentioned him above! Super mean kid.

Really like Surin. Solberg still not taken.

[BagHead]

I missed the beginning of the draft, so I just now saw Beckett Sennecke's reaction to being drafted 3rd overall. It was priceless, and he's now one of my favorite players.

 

[Sweetnut]

Don Sweeney's got that cocaine snout, lol, Wouldn't buy a used car from that guy.

 

[Sweetnut]

Yep, mentioned him above! Super mean kid.

I love his scouting report on EP:

"A towering defenceman with decent skating ability and an endless lust for violence"

The fact he is one of the youngest in the draft, can skate, and is mean (needs to cut down on stupid penalties) is certainly worth it to me! Even if it takes 4-5 years.
