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

[Dr Jan Itor]

NHL roster is set now I guess, with ~$5M in cap space.

 

[Wabit]

All set to put the 110 pick up to keep the 1st post here updated. Then a trade happens and I have do to more stuff. Yes I'm bitching and moaning...

My lord is Utah going to be a pain in the ass to play if half those dudes make it.

They are going to be a pain to play next year with all the moves they've made.

That's been an annual comment about that franchise going on a decade now. I'll wait until their moves actually impact on ice play at this point.

Saw this stat on Lauko from April last year "Bruins now 23-2-0 when Jakob Lauko is in the lineup."

Wild appear to be targeting "Winners"

A little tongue in cheek I suppose, but literally a pain in the ass. Maybe not a threat in terms of actually winning hockey games, but they may just end up injuring guys lol.

Ok, Roberts, Misa, Caswell, Curran, Avramov, and Humphreys my favs for this pik.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

All the LDs

 

[Lapa]

f*** yes, Kiviharju on round 4

 

[TaLoN]

Aaron Kiviharju

 

[Wabit]

LD again, this one is small too

 

[Jbcraig1883]

Wow, they take the falling D whos had D injuries and never grew.

 

[TaLoN]

Winning the hockey name game of the draft if nothing else

 

[Circulartheory]

Picked my best next available nice!

Not the big guy I wanted but a guy who started as a top 10 pick on Mckenzie's draft list. Why not at 4th round

 

[Waiver Draft]

Get excited about Aron Kiviharju, one of the 2024 NHL Draft’s premier defensemen

Kiviharju has had the spotlight on him from a young age, and he’s still holding strong heading into his draft...

[Lapa]

Kiviharju is easily a first round talent without the injury this season. More than fine with this pick.

 

[Bazeek]

Brackett and Guerin sure aren't shy about taking swings on fallers.

 

[BuiumSaveUs]

I don’t think Guerin realizes that his team isn’t going to have much jam if they’re all 5’9. Regardless, sick pick

 

[57special]

We hit page 19 for the GDT. That only happened twice all season: The all preseason games and the G2 (TOR) GDTs. The Draft thread last year hit 32 pages.

It's hard to beat the Stramel Outrage Thread

 

[saywut]

AHL team is kind of clogged so EU/NCAA players(3/4 years rather than 2 before a decision) make sense, Kiviharju is good value in the 4th.

Really like Florida's draft.

Can you imagine if we had Perrault!!! (we can get this one there, too!)

This is the GM listening to his draft guy pick. It's way too deep in the draft for the GM to have much knowledge about the players.

 

[Jbcraig1883]

San Jose grabbed Roberts....last of the big D I liked.

 

[57special]

f*** yes, Kiviharju on round 4

Finns come piling back into the board?
