GDT: St. Louis Blues 2022 Draft Thread

[Stealth JD]

Wow...great pick by the Hawks. Korchinski has been rising. But they'd have been better off with Debrincat.

 

[Bluesnatic27]

Korchinski was a player I was very low on. I saw his talent and strengths, but I didn’t see the back-up strengths to allow for those initial strengths to translate in the NHL.

Looks like I can post again. Holy shit a couple of trades from the Canadiens crashed the boards for a solid 20 minutes for me.

How long until they sell of Korchinski?

 

[Blueline2757]

Yay I can post now

Great pick by the hawks

Seeing Detroit and Chicago pick early makes me weirdly happy.

 

[Stealth JD]

Kasper to Detroit was pretty well speculated.

 

[Bluesnatic27]

Okay, not the pick I would have gone with, but Kasper will be a great 2nd line player once fully developed.

Fairly Schenn like.

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

Stevie Y really doesn’t give a single f*** lol

 

[Bluesnatic27]

So Buffalo swinging for the fences on this one.

Biggest boom-bust pick in the entire draft.

 

[Blanick]

I actually like the Savoie pick for Buffalo.

Just a reminder to treat what you see on twitter with skepticism. There is a guy impersonating Rutherford trying to build a narrative or Army at the Calgary table discussing Tkachuk.

 

[Bluesnatic27]

And Anaheim took, who I think, is the best defenseman in the entire draft.

Excellent pick.

 

[Blanick]

San Jose trading down, giving the Coyotes the 11th.

San Jose got a haul. Two 2nd and later 1st.

 

[Bye Bye Blueston]

Nice trade for AZ. They had bunch of picks so converting late 1st and 2 2nds into high first is good work.

 

[Bluesnatic27]

The question with Geekie will be:

Is he a Getzlaf/Backes, or is he Nick Ritchie?

 

[Linkens Mastery]

At least the draft is going like 4 times faster than last year

 

[greybush314]

Coyotes have done real well tonight. Geekie has a sky high ceiling

 

[mk80]

Bill Armstrong is having a great draft day as usual

 

[Bluesnatic27]

Okay now THAT was a good Blackhawk pick.

I like Nazar more than Cooley.

 

[Bluesnatic27]

Rutger McGroarty is a great offensive talent. His skating is ugly, but that’s really the only thing he doesn’t do well.

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

Draft moving with good pace now

 

[Blanick]

Draft moving with good pace now

I swear the first 10 picks is half the draft coverage.

 

[Blanick]

I think Buffalo goes with a safer pick after the Lavoie pick.

 

[tfriede2]

Despite the Russian concerns, hoping for one of Yurov or Miroshnichenko at our pick.

 

[mk80]

Baring a trade we have Nashville, Dallas, and Minnesota up next. Starting to get into the Central teams before us now
