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

[SensontheRush]

I didn't realize you guys had so many high picks, not only in last year's draft, but also in the upcoming draft, and winning the lottery is the icing on the cake. You guys are really poised to succeed in your rebuild.

The hockey gods came through... your turn to the podium Gorton.

 

[Black Aces]

Did someone really leak this?

Probably Gorton.

That was a McDavid-esque cringe.

Damn I missed it. The McDavid one I have saved on my phone for moments that it calls for

 

[Bob Richards]

Also f*** Chicago

thx u 4 ur time

 

[ElLeetch]

This could change everything for the Rangers plan moving forward

my thought, too. Does it make us *more* in on Panarin, to take advantage of a budding star on an ELC? Taking advantage of guys on ELCs allows for a loaded cup-run before their new contracts are needed.

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

One of my first thoughts...Kakko is going right to Mika’s wing.

Gritty’s mouth looks like a toilet bowl.

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

KAKKOOOO!

**** you NJ, suck a dick.

how do you think we got the lottery luck recently?!

The rivalry only gets stronger

 

[TominNC]

So all the angst and whining about loser points and talking **** about our guys for trying to win, etc.

Seems we could have just enjoyed the small positives and got the #2

 

[Edge]

This really is a strange time to be a Rangers fan.

We’ve never taken this level of a rebuild.

We haven’t had this kind of young talent in nearly 30 years.

We’ve never had this many first rounders in such a short period of time. If certain conditions are met, no one will have.

We’ve never picked second overall.

We’ve never come out of a draft with a prospect like Kakko or Hughes.

This is unchartered territory.

 

[darko]

Soooooo.....4th line of:

Letterri-Boo-Kakko

What is Lettieri doing with first line players?

 

[Golden Puppers]

 

[CasusBelli]

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...

And there it is, every day, that view across the Hudson ... mocking your misfortune. Poor bastard.

 

[Larrybiv]

You all are going to burn in hell. You all sold your soul to the Devil. Oh wait, you all must be siblings of the devil.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

One of my first thoughts...Kakko is going right to Mika’s wing.

That pairing might eclipse 60% CF

Two long bois who can dominate the puck

 

[Machinehead]

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

If the Devils take Hughes and we don't take Kakko, I am literally starting a rally outside MSG.

 

[Ghost of jas]

I now want to trade up even more for Newhook

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Still required enough tanking for the 6th slot.

Yeah but many on this board said that was not a good position to be in and we would never draft in a top spot. Go back and read the hysteria after the last game. The tears were flowing.

 

[Black Aces]

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'd be ok with tanking and getting Lafreniere or Byfield.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

If the Devils take Hughes and we don't take Kakko, I am literally starting a rally outside MSG.

I’d just stop being a Ranger fan probably lol

 

[Zibanejbread]

 

[bobbop]

Who sees Clark going podkolzin after a strong U18. Don’t act like it would be absurd. Clark would do it

If McKenzie says anything about the Rangers spending a lot of time in Russia when Gorton is walking up to the podium, I will hurt myself very badly.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

I'd be ok with tanking and getting Lafreniere or Byfield.

This changes things man, Kakko in particular

We could be a bubble team next year

 

[Edge]

Alright can we stop with the pettiness for just one night?

I mean seriously, I’ve never said this in my 20+ years as a reporter, editor, poster and nuisance on here, but for just once, can we stop with the bullshit?

Enjoy this moment. We’ve never had this before.

 

[Leonardo87]

Wow doesn’t get better than that.
