GDT: The 2023 NHL Entry Draft - Nashville, TN - 4:00pm (AZ) - ESPN, ESPN+

[Tad Mikowski]

Only thing i can think of is they have 6 forwards rated similarly and didnt wanna miss out on D

 

[Dead Coyote]

In what world is Simashev not available at 12

 

[rt]

Trade down. Dangit!!

 

[SpaceCoyote]

Expect the unexpected haha, think I'm the only one here that is happy about this pick. Team must have gotten wind that someone was going to take him 7-11 and there was no trade opportunity.

 

[Dead Coyote]

So when it came time to pony up and take BPA instead of drafting for need we collapsed like a sandcastle lol

 

[JasonDemersWasOkay]

Trash. It’s Soderstrom over caufield/boldy all f***ing over again

 

[che]

Now I think we go Wood at 12

 

[Nowotny]

All that tanking and we have Simashev to show for it?

 

[rt]

That's a 'We were definitely taking Reinbacher, but he went so we panicked and took Simashev.'

I’d bet you anything they had Simashev ahead of Reinbacher.

 

[lanky]

I like that Simashev is big and MEAN and skates like the wind.
I'd like to know why he didn't put up many points in a junior league. His output doesn't really fit that of such a high pick.

 

[SniperHF]

That's a 'We were definitely taking Reinbacher, but he went so we panicked and took Simashev.'

I think it will come out that we had him ranked here all along. Coyotes continue to think they are seeing something the rest of the league is missing. We've done this multiple drafts recently.

 

[Sinurgy]

I want the Coyotes to take a Russian at #6!
<monkey paw curls>
"And with the 6th pick the Coyotes take Simashev!!"

 

[Llewzaher]

speechless

 

[rt]

Now I think we go Wood at 12

Daniil But.

 

[ParisSaintGermain]

"expect the unexpected"

To draft someone way off the list is rather expected for Coyotes fans.

Another idiot who does not understand us.

 

[British yote]

I don’t get it, just trade with caps. Pick the same guy at 8 and get another asset

 

[Alberta Yote]

I'm not even going to wait and watch the 12th pick. I can be disappointed later.

 

[ck26]

This group seems mixed ...

 

[Llewzaher]

I heard

I’d bet you anything they had Simashev ahead of Reinbacher.

I liked him better as well just not at 6

 

[Dead Coyote]

1 pick later, we're gonna be hearing about this for years.

"Quite soon, it's my dream to be there"

 

[AZviaNJ]

When did we re-hire Chayka?

 

[Heldig]

Laughing stock selection.

 

[SR]

Theres no way Leonard or dvorsky is going to be there at 12.

I guess Benson would be a decent grab, but we need centers.

 

[Dirty Old Man]

So I was in a work MS Teams meeting 4-5pm, but I was watching the NHL.com ticker, thinking "so, has everyone in here lost their s**t yet?"

 

[Freddy Sjostrom]

If MTL would would not have drafted David Reinbacher, you have to think the Coyotes would have. Who knows?
