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

[kings11]

They are going to take the 6'7" guy.

That’s what I immediately thought

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

Unless Montreal has something else lined-up this feels like an odd time to do this trade. For the Kings, this looks fine

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Dean Letourneau? WOuld like to see the Kings take Sacha Boisvert but will probably gone by then...Maxim Masse

 

[GKJ]

Good move. Don’t get why the Habs felt the need to rush into this. Not like they’re in the top 15

it was a good move,hopefully the Kings aren't done

Maybe the Kings trade the 26th for a 2nd rounder in the 35-40 range , a 3rd rounder and a 5th rounder

 

[kinghock]

I'm going to make this the NHL Entry draft thread since most of the discussion will probably be in this thread.

Here are the updated picks

Now Kaliev for Ottava 3rd round pick

 

[FrozenKing18]

Is there a slim chance we can pry Askarov from NSH? We’d be set with Byfield, Clarke, Askarov as the new core. Probably a dream scenario.

You'd have to trade Clarke to get him

Garbage for garbage. Works for me.

 

[Statto]

How far will Connelly fall? Maybe 26?

Personally I want to avoid anyone falling down the board for whatever reason, risers are the way to go IMO.

 

[tbrown33]

Personally I want to avoid anyone falling down the board for whatever reason, risers are the way to go IMO.

Why? Kopitar and Vilardi were fallers, for example.

 

[Dog as Man]

Check out 2011 pick 21. Stefan Noesen. Carolina RW. Line #4. Double digit G's, DD Assts., DD +. 5 playoff goals this year. Playing for peanuts. Veteran presence. Is there a downside to signing this guy?

 

[Hockeyville USA]

Package Kaliyev with a 2nd and try and get another 1st?

Would Kaliyev fetch a 2nd?

Thought he might go tonight or tomorrow

Kaliyev fetching a 3rd

 

[Statto]

Why? Kopitar and Vilardi were fallers, for example.

When I say risers , I mean trending over a period of time. So where there has been clear progression over the year. Kopitar was too foreign for some and Gabe had his injury issues. For a faller they really need to be very clear as to why they are falling as it introduces more risk in my eyes.

 

[Cook24]

mayor kept hinting that if the kings traded back that Emery would possibly be our pick...

It could be a good value signing.

There's 30 UFA forwards who scored at a 40 point pace. There's lots of value out there.

 

[KingsOfCali25]

I'll take it! Kings need to restock the prospect pool for the next GM

 

[Telos]

I don't follow prospects anymore typically until the draft, but Emery looks impressive, could be a good pick. Of course, the last few times I was hoping for defensemen they ended up going other ways. I remember wanting Myers so bad when Teubert was selected, and thinking Byram would drop to us and ending up with Turcotte

 

[KingsOfCali25]

I'm in the Brandsegg-Nygard, Hemming, Emery camps for the pick.

 

[MonkeysUncle]

Now Kaliev for Ottava 3rd round pick

watch it will be for Erik Brannstrom, if so they better be getting a 3rd if we are to take him on, as it has been reported they are trying to trade him before they have to qualify him and not a big enough upgrade on left side, oh wait he might be forgot about Englund for a moment

 

[DoktorJeep]

We all know that this move has zero impact on making a deep run, nevermind a cup.
