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

[Arizonatah Coyetis]

Wow. Just wow. Very disappointing draft. Don't really care what they do with the rest of the picks now. I feel like our draft team has a "smartest guy in the room" mentality that scares me.

 

[zerekstar]

I think they want to lose fans not gain them

 

[Muppet]

So basically all the others said "lol please don't draft me" and BA goes with Russians who have no idea/don't care about the arena situation.

 

[Llewzaher]

Wow ..l I never thought I would have Strome vs Marner thoughts again

 

[ParisSaintGermain]

Cannot wait for RDS to go " et but de But!"

 

[MayDayMayDay]

Wife goes, "We must like big But's and cannot lie."

 

[lanky]

We were one of few teams with a scout in the arenas in Russia.
Clearly he helped Bill get some confidence that Russians are under-rated this year.

 

[Dead Coyote]

this is just extreme dude come on trade f***ing back you idiots

too bad there weren't any russians available with top end talent

 

[Magonus1703]

Oh my God. I mean we could have gotten Michkov and Simashev if we just drafted BPA.

 

[zerekstar]

I guess size does matter

 

[TheLegend]

Well it’s quite obvious we’re drafting for 2025-26 right now.

 

[Bonsai Tree]

So much for BPA, but going for need, big mobile D and big power forward, the Coyotes actually drafted quite well.

 

[rt]

Guess who hates absolutely everything? Me.

Oh wait a minute.

 

[Heldig]

Draft report is already in. F.

So dumb. They could have traded back for both picks. Feel gutted. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaay worse than the Hayton pick. Worse than Soderstrom over Caulfield.

I am in shock.

 

[Chootoi]

You're telling me they had Simashev and But as the 6 and 12 BPAs (or higher) in the draft? This is some John Chayka trying to be the smartest guys in the room bullshit with their shit eating grins up there.

Next they're gonna trade up from 38 and try and pick Ovechkin ala the 2003 Panthers.

Can't wait to hear the nonsensical spin doctor bullshit BA has to say in the interviews about this.

 

[AZviaNJ]

Relocate the franchise to Moscow

 

[Nowotny]

BA reminds me one lady I knew many years ago.....Obsessed with size

 

[RABBIT]

I’m not gonna pretend I know seems like we coulda loaded up by trading back but who tf knows

 

[rt]

The kids name is French for “Goal” so maybe Quebec City?

 

[Heldig]

Cooley is on the phone to his agent saying get me the F out of there.

Keller talking to his dad, going "I should listen to you".

 

[Nowotny]

I think they want to lose fans not gain them

They are trying to make it easy for us when they move

 

[JasonDemersWasOkay]

I thought the simashev was my least favorite pick in franchise history and then #12 happened. What a f***ing travesty this has been

 

[ParisSaintGermain]

Clearly the Coyotes were able to scout properly in Russia. And that could be a fantastic thing compared to other franchises.

Interesting that they decided against picking Michkov.

 

[SR]

Losing my faith in BA, which sucks.

Bedard is a tool. Someone is going to clip him. I get hes lights out good but, no humbleness about him.
