GDT: Official Carolina Hurricanes 2013 Draft Bonanza. ft: Ryan Hartman and the Whalers

[HisIceness]

Nap time for JR.

 

[icing]

Yay. Third-line center upside. Brilliantly done, guys. So much for all the phone calls.

Yeah right. You trolling? He is the real deal, first center star potential. But if "bust", could end up carrying a third line. Pretty nice potential even if a "bust" wouldnt you say?

 

[vwg*]

Love all the Nichuskin fanboys being disappointed and crapping on Lindholm. Absolutely love it!

 

[Unsustainable]

Monahan

 

[TheBigKahuna]

LOL you people obviously don't realize how good Lindholm is

His stats must be extremely misleading then. I bet in 3-4 years, we'll be looking back at this draft, and *****ing about what a terrible job JR did, again.

 

[Lucky Lindy]

He can play in the NHL next year, if he wants to.

 

[bleedgreen]

Anyone who actually thought we were gonna get help this year from an 18 year old was dreaming. It's perfect that he can't come for a year, now we can't rush him. If he was Canadian we would've forced him in.

 

[Brock Anton]

Yeah right. You trolling? He is the real deal, first center star potential. But if "bust", could end up carrying a third line. Pretty nice potential even if a "bust" wouldnt you say?

Ignore totalkev. He has an agenda every year to trash JR. We could have taken Jones at #5 and he'd *****.

 

[TheBigKahuna]

He is the real deal, first center star potential.

Not in the NHL.

 

[Sasha Cares]

They took a defensive center, in a DEEP draft. JR made a big deal out of taking an NHL ready player, and takes the ONLY guy so far that can't play in the NHL next year!

Wow, what a disappointment.

Exactly. I mean our team needed help NOW. and we didn't even take a high ceiling player to make it worth the delay. Got, why couldn't we have sucked just a little more last year and got Jones.

 

[DaleCooper]

You don't draft for one season. Isn't that the kind of knee jerk insanity you guys always crap on JR for? Now you're mad because he didn't.

 

[MD]

People complaining about this have no clue who Lindholm is. Third line center upside? This guy is compared favorably to Nicklas Backstrom.

 

[Vagrant]

The team right before us got SETH JONES. We got a smallish Swedish center who is two years away from making the team. How can you guys not be disappointed? What will it take? Stunning that you still trust this group to do what's best for the Hurricanes.

It's just no longer surprising. Your schtick is that you hate every move the Hurricanes make because you have an axe to grind with the organization or perhaps just JR in general. I have no idea. But whatever it is, it has become so predictable that it's white noise.

Misleading? Please...

His stats are better than Nicklas Bäckströms, of Washington. He turned out pretty nice...

 

[Sasha Cares]

Where are people getting 1st line C potential. Haven't heard that out of ANY experts mouth.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

You haters so realize Lindholm's drawing comparisons to Bergeron, Giroux and Forsberg, right?

 

[Unsustainable]

and he is physical. sedins are not. stop crying. with staals, skinner, ruutu, tlusty and lindholm you guys will have a fantastic top 6 in years.

I don't hate the pick at all. I think he will play wing though with us in the top 6.

Doesn't he also have an out clause for the nhl?

 

[My Special Purpose]

Anyone who actually thought we were gonna get help this year from an 18 year old was dreaming. It's perfect that he can't come for a year, now we can't rush him. If he was Canadian we would've forced him in.

bleedgreen is here. Let the rationalizations begin! Five of the six picks so far in this draft will play in the NHL next year. Guess which one won't.

 

[Gr8Dan]

The question is where are all the trades that were predicted to happen?!?!!

 

[Brock Anton]

His stats must be extremely misleading then. I bet in 3-4 years, we'll be looking back at this draft, and *****ing about what a terrible job JR did, again.

30 points in 48 games as an 18 year old against professionals? What's wrong with that?

Oh that's right, JR made the pick so it sucks.

 

[bluedevil58*]

How does this help us now? He can't even join the team for another year!!!!

 

[Brock Anton]

You haters so realize Lindholm's drawing comparisons to Bergeron, Giroux and Forsberg, right?

Shhh. Let them whine, it's incredibly entertaining.

 

[Blown Away]

Where are people getting 1st line C potential. Haven't heard that out of ANY experts mouth.

Who would you have picked? Monoahan? Calgary just passed on Nich too.

 

[Sasha Cares]

Oh well at least we didn't take Nurse. I wish we hadn't started so well last year though. We'd have Jones.

 

[FlyingSquirrels]

C'mon guys, what is this play right now ****?? Do you really think an 18 year old kid was going to make the difference in us winning it all??

This is a good pick. People just *****ing because we all got excited about a trade that didn't happen. Ridiculous.
