GDT: NHL Entry Draft | Day 2

[Billy Kvcmu]

It’s always funny seeing ppl overreact to late round picks selection on the draft day
Especially this year…
Look, if he sucks in his D+1 year, then we can crucified him and Jimbo

Where does he play this season btw

 

[alternate]

Lazy drafting by Benning as expected. The lean scouting department is going to kill this franchise over the next few years.

Lazy?

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Anybody want to refresh my memory on where our 3rd went?

i can't keep track with how we give them away like candy?
and DB isnt loading

Dickensen
Well worth it IMO

 

[Breakers]

Dickinson.

Right, thanks I thought that was 2022 3rd

 

[m9]

Right, thanks I thought that was 2022 3rd

That one is gone for Schmidt.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Canes took the top 2 RH offensive d-men after Clarke.

Just found this

Time to inflate the stats in the Q

 

[ziploc]

Probably why he got picked.

 

[Breakers]

That one is gone for Schmidt.

ohh yeah thanks for the refresh
keep forgetting exactly where they went.

You know they are gone because we never have picks but lose track

 

[Bettman Returnz]

Stars were interested in Jones… would they switch gears for Schmidt?

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Lazy?

He was watching the U18. Saw Danila Klimovich get a hatrick and decided on him.

I watched Logan Stankoven in the WHL 2 years ago. Stood out and was relentless on the puck...Sigh. This franchise keeps missing out on guys in their backyard.

 

[mriswith]

Stankhoven, Pinelli and Chibrikov were all up at our pick. Morrow goes one before us, meaning if we had lost one more game (and not made one of/the worst trade in franchise history) we'd have had our pick of Eklund/Clarke and then Morrow and the rest.

I'll reserve judgment on who we went with but we passed on some guys that will hurt if Klimovich doesn't land.

It is funny to see people give an opinion on a hockey message board.

 

[Breakers]

I was hoping to wake up with potentially some new picks in a schmidt or holtby trade that happened early morning

one can wish

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

*cry* Stankoven goes to Dallas... *sigh*

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Funny is subjective

 

[WishfulThinker]

Feels like our pick was a reach and he could have been had at least 10-20 picks later, but oh well. I don't think anyone was expecting management to trade down for more picks or pick up more. Only perennial great GMs like Pierre Dorion have that capability.

 

[Bitz and Bites]

Klimovich is the the kind of high risk-high reward guy you take with your found money picks like if we somehow got a pick for Holtby or multiple picks from Schmidt.
when you have one pick in the first 4 rounds, you want a guy who’s a safer bet to become an NHLer, even if his ceiling is slightly lower.

Lol. Lazy posting. Lazy drafting would have been going with the most recognized name, not some from the hockey backwaters just because hattrick.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Ottawa has lost it. Literally just drafting size.

This is definitely true. Each pick is under such a microscope when you barely have any picks. If we are sitting with 3 second rounders you have much more freedom for a reach.

Pierre oh Pierre

Lol. Lazy posting. Lazy drafting would have been going with the most recognized name, not some from the hockey backwaters just because hattrick.

Lazy drafting would be following BPA on McKenzie’s list

 

[DFAC]

Its hard to be a fan of this team

 

[Breakers]

I have a bet going that Ottawa is going to take Brent Johnson


Out of the last 7 drafted defenseman to go to North Dakota
Ottawa has drafted 6 of them

they LOVE that school
