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

[The Feckless Puck]

Can you think of a more Coyote thing to do, that is the question?

Well, yeah, I can - not only drafting a defenseman at 6, but drafting someone ranked in the 20s by everyone else.

Or, worse, trading both picks away for the signing rights to Radko Gudas.

Just home from work, starting the pre-game drinking (Big Dogs Brewery lagers) and watching VGK social media.

How can the intern who runs this crap post a sad message announcing Reilly Smith (2yr x 5m) is leaving, and then 10 minutes later be thrilled that Ivan Barbashev just signed an extension (5yr x 5m)?

Does social media makes us stupid? Or is social media is the way it is because we're already stupid?

Someone did mention Mark Visentin earlier ...

Yes.

“Expect the Unexpected“ - GMBA

 

[GiveAFlyingPuck]

Last chance for all the insiderrrrrrrrs to tell us what's going down.

 

[ParisSaintGermain]

My guess (this post will self delete in two hours because it will probably be ridiculous ha).

I think Leonard is the guy for us. It will take a degree of luck to pick him at 6; but if he is gone, there is a major consolation price falling on our lap.

I think someone in the top echelon (top 8) will slide a little, and we will try to trade up for him from 12.

Getting close now, let’s hope “the unexpected” is extremely rewarding!

I’d be really happy to get Leonard. I have a suspicion we will get Reinbacher instead and I’ll be really grumpy. I just hope we get Benson at 12th to make up for it.

Who are the highest upside guys at 6/12? Bensen? leonard at 6? But at 12?

Don't forget going all forwards, but of course none in the top 5, in next years defense heavy draft.

I think at 12 you gotta add Wood and Perreault for upside.

Leonard Perreault combo?

 

[rt]

Megan Chayka is absolutely insufferable.

Leonard Perreault combo?

With Cooley as the “Smith” on that line? Yessir!

 

[Summer Rose]

Reporting in. Watching the draft from my house in Florida.

 

[More Cooley]

Meghan Chayka, LOL

Meghan Chayka, LOL

She sucks so bad.

 

[Prarievarg]

Let's go! Leonard/Smith at 6 and Wilander/Benson/Perreault at 12

 

[Llewzaher]

so easy to spot the Coyotes table

 

[SR]

Let's go! Leonard/Smith at 6 and Wilander/Benson/Perreault at 12

Im in on this.

Prefer Benson or wood at 12, but would be very happy with this outcome.

The traditional boo for Bettman….

 

[Sinurgy]

Seeing that footage of Chicago drafting Patrick Kane triggers me. I can't believe those f***s are getting Bedard.

 

[Summer Rose]

I'm intrigued to see where Michkov goes.

 

[ParisSaintGermain]

We won't pick Reinbacher, he is not special enough to select over some amazing forwards.
Also D takes forever to develop, BA will want to shortcut by doing some trades alla Durzi.

 

[TheLegend]

Our draft table is like a “where’s Waldo” picture.

The traditional boo for Bettman….

I am standing ovationing him in my living room, on my own, and I am proud of it.
Am I biased?
Maybe.
