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

[My Special Purpose]

What does that have to do with OUR pick? Usually the quality of players goes down the longer the draft goes. In my experience, anyway.

Going from MacKinnon/Barkov/Drouin/Jones to Lindholm isn't a "drop", it's a "cliff".

I'd have overpaid if necessary to move to No. 3. I know Tampa Bay wanted Drouin, but for the right price, they could have been convinced to take Lindholm. If we had jumped to No. 3 to take Jones, then obviously Nashville takes Drouin, right? Or maybe they like Lindholm.

Wow. What a move by Lamorello. Wish he was our GM. Our GM doesn't have the guts to make this any better. No guts, no glory.

 

[DaleCooper]

Lol Luongo bangs the drum publicly for a trade for a year. Now what?

 

[cptjeff]

Well, that is one way to resolve the Luongo situation.

 

[DaveG]

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

god damnit, Lou still ****ing has it.

 

[tarheelhockey]

Holy crap, New Jersey.

That's a monster trade for both teams.

 

[Blown Away]

I guess Vancouver gave up on ever being able to trade Luongo. He was too expensive to buyout so they trade the better goaltender. These long term deals are dealing coming back to bite some teams on the butt.

Other than the fact that highly respected, top scouting agencies like THN and McKeens actually had Lindholm rates HIGHER than Barkov, sure.

[bleedgreen]

Dying to hear what this edm offer really was.

 

[My Special Purpose]

This draft is Exhibit A in my "our GM doesn't have it anymore" argument. And honestly, the prosecution rests.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

That's something else. Gotta think this was an on-the-fly move from Gillis.

 

[TheBigKahuna]

These long term deals are dealing coming back to bite some teams on the butt.

Good, and not a minute too soon!

 

[Discipline Daddy]

I had guessed the Devils would take Shinkaruk. Now that the Canucks are there, I'm feeling Nichushkin.

So wait...you claim the difference between the Top 4 and Lindholm was a "cliff", but in the same breath, claim Tampa could have been "convinced" to take him. Or that Nashville would have taken him over Drouin.

Talk about speaking out of both sides of your mouth.

If there's this "cliff", then everyone knew it, and JR couldn't have gotten into the Top 4. If there's no cliff, JR could have made a trade, but the difference would have been negligible.

Can't have it both ways.

 

[DaleCooper]

It's Bo.

 

[Unsustainable]

Horvat

Nichushkin dropping

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Wow, interesting...

 

[My Special Purpose]

You never answered my question. What would you have done differently?

I'd have traded up to No. 3 and taken Seth Jones.

 

[Wild Caniac]

LOL at the pick.

 

[Brock Anton]

The overrating of Bo Horvat begins.

 

[Jussijuice]

Schneider for Horvat, meh. Would think they could get more.

 

[rocky7]

wow that optimistic feeling i had about all the potential they had IN THIS DRAFT squandered! but hey, they didn't pick nurse. good day for the carolina hurricanes. woo hoo!! i hope it works out for them a couple years from now.

 

[bleedgreen]

Wow. Thank god some people around here aren't Vancouver fans. Horvat better be more than he has seemed so far.

 

[DaveG]

oh god is that a bad pick here, REALLY Vancouver? REALLY?

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

I'd have traded up to No. 3 and taken Seth Jones.

I'd have traded Jamie McBain and Danny Biega for the #1 pick.

We can say this crap all we want. Yzerman seemed locked onto Drouin and we won't know what they were asking for.

 

[Wolfpuck]

oh god is that a bad pick here, REALLY Vancouver? REALLY?

Schneider for Horvat

Hoo boy
