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

[Blueline Bomber]

I would have given up LaRose and the 5th to grab the #1 pick. And because I'm kev's version of a GM, I have mystical powers that forces other GMs to take the deal.

Jarmo goes with a European, color me surprised!

Jones is worth a little pain.

 

[Unsustainable]

Wennberg to CBJ

Zadorov still there

 

[Jussijuice]

Zadorov won't make it to 35th... At least 1 or 2 high-end D prospects will though.

 

[Unsustainable]

Not a chance.

A man can dream right?

 

[SeaBasstian]

Zadorov falling, maybe 35th?

yup, no chance. he's BPA right now with still 20 picks left before we pick again. have a feeling we'll get someone good, but not Zadorov.

Of course, to play Devil's advocate, we could always trade that pick + for the top 4 D we are looking for. we'll see

I am still on for Heatherington at 35

 

[Joe McGrath]

Without knowing what Tampa wanted, this argument is pointless. Everyone and their mother said the top 4 picks weren't being moved when the draft started. The first 4 picks happened in record time.

Rutherford said Lindholm either would be on Canes roster next year or go back to Sweden for last year of contract with Brynas.

Hoping for some sort of out clause.

 

[Oenatzu]

Jarmo goes with a European, color me surprised!

He says that he's actually more critical about European players 'cause he doesn't want to seem biased.

 

[tarheelhockey]

Why, so you can make theoretical arguments as to why it would be a bad deal?

Well of course, isn't that what we do here?

Another good point. 3 minutes to negotiate (10 seconds if JR called Yzerman and Yzerman said "no").

 

[tomdundo]

Pulock now. Still passing on Zadorov.

 

[Unsustainable]

Pulock to Islanders

 

[Jussijuice]

Surprised Shinkaruk still there, very surprised. Bet Buffalo takes him.

 

[Unsustainable]

Pulock is freaking thick.

 

[rocky7]

Dallas with Nichushkin

and the dallas stars choose to take a huge, huge risk on the "russian factor" (name - Valeri Nichushkin). they're screwed now.

 

[Moosetache]

OK, since Zadorov is still available....what would it take to get back into this first round?? 35th pick and what? McBain....anyone else?

 

[My Special Purpose]

JR should have known last night that MacKinnon was going No. 1 and Barkov was going No. 2. I know I did. I'd have started the offer with our No. 1 next year and No. 5 for No. 3.

I'd have even considered giving up more in terms of picks.

SETH JONES people. We had a chance to get SETH JONES. I'm not sure why it's OK that we just sat there and took Elias Lindholm instead. I don't get it. I couldn't be any more disappointed.

 

[Jussijuice]

Lot of buzz around Phoenix working a deal of a D (Yandle, Stone, Gormley?) for a forward

 

[DaleCooper]

JR on Lindholm and a tidbit on Skinner:

Chip Alexander ‏@ice_chip 54s

Rutherford says Lindholm has an out in contract with Brynas, if he makes Canes roster. Canes would not have to buy out final year.

Michael Smith ‏@MSmithCanes 1m

Rutherford: "This is a player who will have a chance to play with us next year." Notes he's a natural C but could play RW.

Craig Custance ‏@CraigCustance 2m

Jim Rutherford says Hurricanes are not actively shopping Jeff Skinner but would have to at least consider a significant offer for him.

Yandle for Skinner.....PLEASE

 

[Blown Away]

Yes. This why the Canes were drawing all the trade interest at 5. it was the highest pick that might be available. Tampa was not trading unless JR made a really stupid, lopsided trade.

 

[SeaBasstian]

makes me feel better. only thing i didnt like about Lindholm was him not coming next year. With the out in the contract and the possibility of him making team, which i fully expect him to do, excited for the chance to see him next season
