GDT: NHL Entry draft thread : Kings traded down w/ Mtl #21 for #26, 57 and 198

[RocketKing]

So maybe Pulkkinen?

Oh well

 

[Omni Owl]

Guess that means Tampa is going to try and re-sign Stamkos now that Sergachev is dumped.

 

[funky]

I am guessing Adam Jericho

 

[Docgonzo]

Damn picks in this second round just not falling our way.

Kings got Jeannot

 

[RocketKing]

Yes!!

[tny760]

a goalie huh?

 

[funky]

There is our grit. Jeannot. Love it.

 

[Docgonzo]

A goalie? Thats surprising.

 

[Schrute farms]

Meh on the goalie pick. But maybe we had eyes on some that went just before.

 

[LAKings88]

I heard it was a bad year for goalies but George seems like the best of the bunch.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

that seemed like a panic 'well f*** all our guys are gone' pick

"just give me BPA" "BPA on espn rankings is a kicker" "f*** it we ball"

 

[Schrute farms]

especially after hitting such an unexpectedly home run with last years goalie pick.

 

[kingsboy11]

There was a run on a bunch 1st round talent leading up to our pick

 

[KingsHockey24]

I called the Jeannot trade 20 minutes before it happened.

I am actually Rob Blake guys.

 

[tny760]

i was actually a little tilted that you posted that cause i went searching to confirm and there was nothing, then it actually happened

 

[Reaper45]

Not sure how I feel about a goalie in the second.

I’ll be happy if Jeannot can be a 10-10-100pim kind of a guy.

If anything I'm worried he goes out and scores 20 goals again and gets 100+ PIMS making it harder to re-sign him.

I say we sign him to an extension right away. 2 years / 2M

With the Jeannot trade, the Kings next pick is in round 6. If Blake and company are back to drafting a goalie every year, then it kind of forced them to take one with this pick...without making additional trades for picks.

the 2nd is for next year.

 

[Reaper45]

What happened to Kaliyev? Anything?

 

[FSL KINGS]

Picked the wrong time to water the garden.

 

[Moses Doughty]

I don’t remember them doing actual rebuild ever. They did have Perry and Getzlaf join an already good team.

The sharks were pretty talented for awhile there.

Doesn’t guarantee success but if they stay the course they will be competitive.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding but I had been talking about currently. Issues already starting for them, and keeping course doesn't always work out.

Even the ESPN crew corrected one of there own saying Zegras is a goner and has no future with the Ducks, after someone rolled in with his hype train. You could also add OTT to that list too.

Yea true, talent is there with him but it's the rest that isn't. Ottawa/Buffalo seem similar with ownership/management getting in the way

 

[King'sPawn]

What happened to Kaliyev? Anything?

Nothing yet.

the 2nd is for next year.

At the moment, their next pick is still in the 6th round.

It was 2025 2nd + 2024 4th that went for Jeannot.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Kaliyev is being moved for a 4th and a conditional.
