GDT: The Powerhouse @ NHL Draft Lottery | 2nd Overall Pick

[Oscar Lindberg]

Depending on the the next few months, I think there's a minor chance Kakko does enough to overtake Hughes

But either way, we win

 

[TheTakedown]

Guys I can’t even believe what I just saw.

Kakko to me is the better player. He’s a beast. The devils will pick Hughes now please lock Clark in a closet don’t let him pick HIS guy. This is easy Jeff.

This is a franchise altering day as far as I’m concerned. This fits what we’re doing better than taking another center. I believe between Mika Chytil Howden we’ve got centers. Kravtsov and Kakko will help them reach new levels.

I’d keep kreider and sign Panarin. Along with Lemieux the left side would be solidified.

I'm 100000000% on bord with this plaaan!

Oh yeah we should be thanking Buch. Skjei and Names. Sorry for cursing you guys out...AND thank you edmonton for winning your final game

Lol!!! McDavid's Broken Leg was the reason we won it

I’m a horrible fan. I just found this out now. Is this real ?!??

There is something phenomenally hilarious yet creepy about that GIF.

 

[Larrybiv]

This could change everything for the Rangers plan moving forward

What i am afraid of. Adding Panarin is def a possibility in my opinion now. Like u said, Kakko/Hughes changes things.

 

[Mandar]

Soooooo.....4th line of:

Letterri-Boo-Kakko

 

[I Eat Crow]

I think he’s the Calder favorite for next season.

Could easily see him stepping in and dropping 25-30 right away.

He broke Barkov's 17 y/o season points record.

Kakko is better than Laine at the same age. At risk of pumping up the Kakko hype train, I see him as a perennial 30 goal, point per game player.

Yeah dude. Heck, I moved my band practice to tomorrow night to watch this, so glad I did.

 

[NYR94]

Not really something to be bragging about.

 

[Baby Punisher]

Holy cow this worked out well for us. What a pleasant surprise! Who do we draft if the Devils take Hughes, Kaako?

 

[Tob]

Soooooo.....4th line of:

Letterri-Boo-Kakko

Not enough synergy.

I know people are against it, but I did say a bunch of times that if they ended up with the 1 or 2 pick it could significantly change their offseason plans.

 

[will1066]

Wut about Boo?

 

[Ghost of jas]

Frankly, I think this makes it more likely the Rangers trade Kreider now.

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Zibanejad and Kakko on the same line and PP oh my f***ing god

 

[JT Kreider]

Imagine bragging about winning the draft lottery 5 times

 

[Black Aces]

All the whining, crying, complaining, tears, temper tantrums, every f'ing time we got points didn't mean ****. 2nd overall pick and an elite potential prospect is what awaits.

Still required enough tanking for the 6th slot.

 

[CasusBelli]

I'm glad we moved to 2OA for sure but it's not like we've won the Cup and I'm not sure what the Devils are going to do but if they take Kakko we're almost certainly taking Hughes and vice versa. That's a very very good position for us to be in. Hopefully Tampa and Dallas come through for us--either of those things happening could potentially help move us into another top 10 pick.

This is a circumstance that should accelerate our rebuild and if we're getting Hughes I'm not likely moving Kreider because both Z-bad and Hughes are going to need wingers who have something of a clue about putting pucks in the net. As far as I know Hughes hasn't opted to an NCAA team and it's likely he's figuring on stepping into the NHL. Kakko will likely do it too.

I don't think I'd be disappointed with either.

I nominate you Asst. GM if Drury leaves for brighter pastures.

 

[Claxton]

It's him.

Unanimous #2. This won't change.

Btw, LOL at the cringe by Jack Hughes when the Devils were announced as the winners.

Imagine thinking you'll get to play on a historic original six franchise, a dream come true, but now you're off to Jersey instead...

 

[Gardner McKay]

It's him.

Unanimous #2. This won't change.

Btw, LOL at the cringe by Jack Hughes when the Devils were announced as the winners.

That was a McDavid-esque cringe.

 

[GoAwayGiannone]

Live look at @Edge when the Ranger's got 2nd OA:

 

[Zibanejbread]

Wut about Boo?

Who?

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

I just lit up a J for my bros in here.

Let’s face it, win, lose or draw that J was getting lit

 

[Bramskii]

Hockey is just more fun when the Devils and Rangers are both good. I'm excited for the future of this rivalry. Congrats on the pick!
