hawks and coyotes killed this draft IMO

Really, the team with the easiest #1 pick in half a decade had a good draft? Huh

 

[Chad Smiley]

Chicago killed it.

 

[lomekian]

Interesting that if you look at almost every mock draft, it was impossible for the wings to get Nate Danielson & ASP with their picks. Seen 1 mock out of 20 that had the Wings being able to get both.

 

[Umingmak]

I guess we'll find out when we play Shitcago and Beddard is hitting a streaking Moore with a tape-to-tape pass on a breakaway and that wee tiny defenseman we took at 17 breaks his stick on the crossbar afterward in frustration.

There's still time to delete this.

 

[Frk It]

Honzek off the board. You can breathe a sigh of relief

I liked Honzek 10x more than ASP

 

[NickH8]

When did everyone here start over rating Moore?

 

[Ulysses31]

Really, the team with the easiest #1 pick in half a decade had a good draft? Huh

mostly refering to moore at 17 obviously

 

[Frk It]

You almost had to take him. He was the smart pick. The kid has a great feel for the game.

Absolutely not.

 

[lucaseider]

Ugh, I'm 54, why does barlows beard destroy mine? Prolly had to start shaving at 7, the bastard.

 

[ricky0034]

hawks and coyotes killed this draft IMO

the Flyers too getting Michkov at 7

 

[WingFanSD]

we should have just traded down, with both of these picks, we could have picked our 9th at 17 and we could have picked our 17th at 25 or 26.

This is grotesque. A wee tiny defenseman that will never make an NHL roster when the fastest guy in the draft, who happens to play a position of need, is still on the board. WHAT THE ACTUAL F*CK IS GOING ON HERE.

AHHRRRRHGGGGLLLLXX$%#*&FAAHHHHHHKKKKKKK

how do you knw that they would have been there later? you are not a nhl gm, you do not have any insider knowledge.

[Pavels Dog]

Trade away Hronek for #17.

Use 17 on a guy who will be lucky to be as a good as Hronek one day… makes sense.

That’s rebuilding tbh.

 

[Bench]

It's funny watching them use Larkin as the NHL comparable to Moore when Larkin was being compared to 3rd line plugs here a decade ago.

 

[Winged Wheel Willy]

Sale…trade up, Stevie.

 

[Pavels Dog]

mostly refering to moore at 17 obviously

And if that was their only pick it’s nothing special.

 

[Umingmak]

With our picks in the books, this has been an incredibly boring draft compared to all the rumors. All that talk of trades, and there hasn't been a single one through 20 picks.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

I guess we'll find out when we play Shitcago and Beddard is hitting a streaking Moore with a tape-to-tape pass on a breakaway and that wee tiny defenseman we took at 17 breaks his stick on the crossbar afterward in frustration.

That wee tiny defenseman is the same size as both the guys you're pining for.

 

[ricky0034]

to be fair that whole Helm with hands thing literally came from the Wings themselves

 

[Realgud]

we all know larkin is a 3rd line plug on a good team tho

 

[raymond23]

Y’all stress me tf out with all these hot takes

 

[Ezekial]

The internet is a cesspool of lies and misinformation.

 

[Ulysses31]

agree to disagree, getting moore in the back half of the 1st round is huge

 

[KJoe88]

Starting to get really demoralizing as a Wings fan. Genuinely losing faith in SY.

This is hilarious and stupid
