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

[Taylor26]

Anytime a GM congratulates the Florida Panthers.

Any time a GM thanks Las Vegas for hosting the event

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Sennecke third?? Holy

Odd. Apparently Buium's odds to go 3rd dropped dramatically as well.

Anaheim does have a dearth of RS forwards, with none in their younger core.

 

[Wabit]

I wanna say there should be something every time Bettman is booed but we'd all have alcohol poisoning before the first pick

Same probably goes for:
-thanks to host city, their own fans, etc.
-congrats to the Cup winners
-the talking heads saying stupid things

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

I was going to suggest "Draft pick's name gets completely butchered." but it sounds like Bettman is announcing every pick tonight and I didn't buy a 30 rack.

They're not all going up there? That's lame.

Guerin ruined it for everyone last year I guess

Really? That would be both surprising and not surprising to me. I really do like Sennecke, after Celebrini he was my favorite forward in this draft. But that is higher for him than I had previously seen.

They're not all going up there? That's lame.

 

[Circulartheory]

Sennecke third?? Holy

He's the fastest rising winger. And the only one with size. I have him #9 overall but if you ignore d-men after Levshunov (and your committed to drafting a forward), he would #5 of my rankings but I was debating Ignite over Bennecke and still torn. I still really like Lindstrom.

 

[Wasted Talent]

They're not all going up there? That's lame.

I guess they're slowly transitioning towards the remote draft of next year

I've been out of the loop here and everywhere - what is the latest word, dropping back to 18 + 34, trading it for Rutger, or likely keeping it?

Trying to trade it for Rutger, it seems.

 

[AKL]

If I had to guess in order of most likely, or most interested in

1) Trade for Rutger McGroarty
2) Trade down to gain an extra 2nd
3) Keep it

Hey there Gents. Been awhile. Just got sat down to watch the festivities in the shop......Better get a drink mixed up!.
My prediction....60% of us will say it's the wrong guy!

 

[BuiumSaveUs]

Sennecke going 3rd feels like galaxy brianing

 

[Sweetnut]

Oh sheeeit.

New rule:

"Hockey-IQ" a double down the hatch

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

ESPN needs to up their draft analyst budget.

 

[AKL]

Meghan's best available has Yakemchuk at 18, so I'm not even going to pretend to know how the first 12 picks go

 

[Jbcraig1883]

Oh dear lord, dear I say I'd rather have Mckenzie and McGuire every day over Hextall.

 

[Sweetnut]

Dang it!

Another rule:

Cringy Hextall moment, DRINK!

 

[AKL]

Dang it!

Another rule:

Cringy Hextall moment, DRINK!

I already did this when she asked Buium if he's going to tattoo the date of the draft next to the days he won a gold medal and the NCAA championship as if just getting drafted is similar to those two things

Missed you, dude!
Hope everything's alright.

 

[Roman Maroni]

Draft rule....drink 3 times every time the Blackhawks draft. Just because it's the Blackhawks.....

Missed you, dude!
Hope everything's alright.

Yup!

 

[AKL]

First mention of identity

 

[Wabit]

What the proper amount of time to be on the clock before you make your pick for 1oa?

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

What the proper amount of time to be on the clock before you make your pick for 1oa?

Whatever the TV broadcast asked you to do probably.

I'll guess you'll never sobered up since then.
