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

[Martinez]

No doubt. There's something they like far more in Cossa. I was hoping Yzerman might give us some insight on that mini interview there but it was just normal fluff about getting a good goalie.

Yzerman saying absolutely nothing on ESPN brings a tear to my eye

 

[ChadS]

Who are your day 2 centers?

 

[bedtime20]

Smart move by stevie&co, there is definitely something up with jesper. Cossa was the right pick.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Imagine having Holland as a GM taking 38 year old Duncan Keith at full salary, losing Larsson in the expansion draft, then trading down and losing Wallstedt in the process.

Horrible

No thanks!

 

[Martinez]

No it would be Seider/Cossa vs Broberg/Wallstedt. Nice try tho.

Wow let’s give Holland a chance buddy

 

[Go Wings]

Imagine having Holland as a GM. Trading for 38 year of Duncan Keith at 5.3 million a seasons for 2 more years, losing Larsson in the expansion draft, resigning 39 year old Mike Smith for 2 year in goal and then trading down when Wallstedt is sitting right there.

Complete utter garbage, soooo glad he is gone from Detroit.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Who are your day 2 centers?

Tyler Johnson

 

[Go Wings]

No thanks!

I redid my post I forgot about him resigning 39 year old Mike Smith to a 2 year deal lmao

 

[ricky0034]

curious to see who Holland wanted here instead of Wallstedt

Lambos? Raty? both feel kinda on-brand here

 

[HoweFan]

Who are your day 2 centers?

Salminen or Klimovich

 

[jfrank21]

Who are your day 2 centers?

Wyatt Johnston if hes still there

Lambos? Ratu?

Aatu Raty to Edmonton. Kenny loves the fallers. He looks at it like bargain shopping at the grocery store.

"Wow! This jug of milk that expires today and has a box cutter slash in it is 50 cents off! What a steal!"

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

I wonder what Nedeljkovic thinks about the pick.

 

[Rzombo4 prez]

Who are your day 2 centers?

Wyatt Johnston if he lasts

 

[Winger98]

so, Raty to Dallas or Minny?

 

[Rzombo4 prez]

Why would he think anything about the pick.

 

[MBH]

Pretty good pick from Holland.
But man.

 

[MBH]

so, Raty to Dallas or Minny?

Raty falls to one of the late Columbus picks

 

[ricky0034]

just glancing at McKenzie's list this draft feels surprisingly as expected so far for such a chaotic year other than that Ottawa pick

21 picks in so far and it's been the top 20 on that list plus the 29th(the Ottawa pick)

 

[Winger98]

Raty falls to one of the late Columbus picks

Because the GM is finnish?

 

[Martinez]

Florida could have
Barkov
Lundell
Raty

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Wow Wallstedt LIVES in Lidstrom's street and we still didn't get him. Hopefully Edvinsson +Cossa is better than Eklund + Wallstedt in 5 years.

 

[Martinez]

Jeez no wonder Nill traded back

 

[TheOctopusKid]

I wonder what Nedeljkovic thinks about the pick.

I can't imagine he feels too threatened by it. Goalies take a while to develop, right? We have him for 2 years, he proves to be a high quality, kick ass starter - gives Cossa two years to continue to develop and maybe a year or so behind him as a back on a follow up deal. If we are fortunate to end up with a Caps like situation where they had a series of high quality goalies and rolling them out or trading them based upon salary and need

 

[MBH]

And now, our pick.
Wyatt Johnston
Man.
