GDT: The 2021 NHL Entry Draft Thread! Round 1, 8pm EST on ESPN2!

[simonedvinsson]

Eklund or Edvinsson. What a choice.

 

[Hatter of the Beach]

My stream is 2 or so minutes behind based on these comments. Keep refreshing to see who we picked lol

 

[Zetterbeer]

I'm going to die if we don't take Eklund here.

Real tears

 

[Snuggs]

Real quick, why’s ESPN using ARI’s old logo? Did they switch back or something?

Idk but I do like it better. Loved that cracked out looking yote.

 

[Christoph53]

Eklund and it's tequila time for me

 

[FabricDetails]

What if they pick neither of the Swedes? Haha.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

How good is Eklund?

 

[The Real Pastafarian]

Never fails, Red Wings on the clock...straight to a commercial, for the cheesiest thing they can find. They'll come back just as they're announcing the pick.

In my news feed last week ESPN had an article on Tampa winning their 2nd Cup in a row. I kid you not, this was the picture they used above the story:

A swede. Maybe Wallstedt.

 

[ShanahanMan]

Hakan must have seen Eklund an insane amount. Whichever way we go, I trust they will have done significant homework.

Not a Flex Seal fan?

 

[BStinson]

How good is Eklund?

I said he’s easily an E5

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

How good is Eklund?

In my opinion the best player in the draft.

 

[8999]

Gotta be Eklund if the comparable is Zetterberg, right?

 

[FabricDetails]

Maybe Wings trade for SJ's 7 and get both Eklund and Edvinsson.

 

[jfc64]

What if they pick neither of the Swedes? Haha.

They should take some minutes now and try to trade for Holtz...

Raymond - Eklund - Holtz haha

 

[Snuggs]

Picks in!

 

[TheOctopusKid]

This.

 

[Martinez]

Really an interview right now…

 

[drwings40]

It's Edvinsson.

 

[Avery Rule]

I am nervous about going way off here, but... with pick #6 Detroit takes.... William Eklund!

 

[Ishad]

Booooooooo

To be fair, would you want to use a picture of Stamkos or Hedman?

Stammer looks like he smokes bath salts and Hedman has that rad scar that makes him look like a Bond villain.

Bob saying edvinsson
