GDT: NHL Entry Draft 2018: The Attitude Era Begins @ 7PM ET June 22, 2018

[Treb]

Damnit AA is gone

 

[nhlfan9191]

Lucky for her, the face is obstructed.

It’ll leak out. It’s unfortunate but wear underwear. And if you’re going commando, cross your legs as a lady. It’s funny but sad at the same time.

 

[DesmondDekker]

There goes alexeyev.

 

[The Great Weal]

NOOOOOOOOOOO. f***. f***. f***. WHAT A STEAL. OH MY f***ING GOD NOOOOOOOO.

 

[LaP]

Yeah there is a reason why he dropped that much.

Dropped too much imo.

 

[Tyson]

Saw that Caps pick coming

 

[Janne Niinimaa]

Wouldn't have minded trading a high 2nd + late 2nd for Veleno. Would have loved to trade up for Smith though.

In the end its okay, there are plenty of good players left.

Edit: Would have liked Alexeyev.

 

[Habs76]

Washington just got a steal

 

[TheBuriedHab]

Wasn't a huge Veleno guy so I'm not upset in the least.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Can someone make a comprehensive list of the guys who will be left for tomorrow's early 2nds?

 

[LyricalLyricist]

Same thing I'm thinking. This organization clearly sees value in local players, just doesn't seem they felt the value was in Veleno.

It's too bad. Imagine going from zero to Kot, Veleno and Poehling within 2 drafts with someone like Danault still young who is a fringe #2?

All above 6' too. Would've been nice but unfortunately wasn't meant to be.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

I'll trust guys that know more than I do on this, but I hope Veleno doesn't become a solid 2C

He dropped because there are concerns about his offensive upside. He should be a top 9 though. Could wind up as a Vermette type. Vermette was drafted in the 2nd rd with similar draft year production.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

I want Thomas or Berggren at 35
Wilde, Noel or Wise at 38

 

[Whitesnake]

People who didn't want Veleno for all sorts of reasons....well I bet we will take Groulx if he's not gone before. And then, you will wish we would have picked Veleno....

 

[sheed36]

8 centers chosen in round 1. 14 defensemen.

 

[HOPE]

Kotkamiemi+35+38 may be better depending who they pick.

I would of been fine with 35+55 wich maybe some team would have baited considering the slips...

 

[Habs 4 Life]

Seriously Bergevin should have tried for Veleno

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Damn. There goes Alexeyev.

Caps love themselves some Russians.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

All that hype for trades and nothing either lol.

Not a good 1st round for us imo. We should have traded up but we’ll see what happens tomorrow.

 

[Deebs]

Seriously Bergevin should have tried for Veleno

How do you know he didn't?

 

[Adam Michaels]

Lucky for her, the face is obstructed.

Lucky for us, her face is obstructed.

 

[overlords]

Alexeyev sounds like Bryzgalov.

 

[HomaridII]

Disappointing first round. Nº pacioretty trade for other assets, no leveraging the 4 seconds for another first.. More of the same

 

[sheed36]

Darren Millard of Sportsnet.. Montreal with the reach as they went to commercial.

 

[Maitz]

Who’s left for 2nd round for us??

 

[Deebs]

Not

All that hype for trades and nothing either lol.

Not a good 1st round for us imo. We should have traded up but we’ll see what happens tomorrow.

Not a good 1st round lol, jeebus christ man
