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

[Larrybiv]

Remember when I said I wanted 2nd overall?

No man, missed that......but I KNOW, I said same. Actually predicted 2nd pick.....my gut never lies. And God knows, it's getting larger... which is a good thing for getting these premonition's.

I will see him in 3 weeks in Brno (CZE)

Post-game coming up momentarily for anyone writing a novel.

Why do you have to harsh on us writers, huh?

 

[RGY]

Have to say, i am still in shock

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

For anyone keeping score: That's 4 TPS players we will acquire since 2016.

I look forward to reading this from the official nyr twitter in a couple months

[JT Kreider]

Big ups to Ryan Strome

Same, have a headache as well.

Similar type of feeling as when we win a big game in the playoffs.

 

[Black Aces]

I actually found myself thinking that if Kakko is the pick, I’d love to find a way to get Zegras.

I’ve become quite attached to him.

Is it feasible? Is Kreider the center piece?

When that was going down, especially when Buffalo’s card came up it felt like all the big playoff wins we have had in the last decade.

Don’t worry Chytil will get arrested on child porn charges or some other typical Ranger luck to bring us back down to......wait this is still real!??

38 points in 45 games in a men's league...5 points in 5 playoff games including 4 goals.
People thought Kotkaniemi was rising high in a men's league. What Kakko is doing is a tier above that.

 

[ncmike]

This is very likely the best post in this history of these hallowed boards.

(Hope your calf is okay)

If his calf’s not ok we can have veal! I’ll show myself out

 

[RGY]

Where is our Top 20 Prospects Rankings thread lol. About to blow up next year

TierS!

Peyton Krebs came up so many times in my tankathon generator it feels like he was a Ranger and we traded him. Good luck Peyton!

 

[Black Aces]

Serves him right for being that good. The Devil only passed through Georgia, on the way to New Jersey.

I felt bad for him with that fake smile. I know we are biased but you cant compare playing for the rangers or blackhawks vs devils.

 

[Rangerfans]

Please Gordon don't go "off the board."

Yeesh, daydreaming aside, that would be a tough one to pull off.

Getting into the top 10, especially in this draft, is going to be hard.

I have a difficult time seeing a team giving up a top 8 pick for Kreider, and I think that’s what you need to get a kid like Zegras.

Even if you have a scenario where a team like Florida is willing to give up a their pick, you still have to then try to package that pick and another pick to make that move.

And at that point, it starts to feel overly complicated and like something from a video game. Which is usually a good indication that it’s not realistic.

 

[RGY]

I thought the nerves/excitement/shock would subside by now but it hasnt.

 

[I Eat Crow]

So is the drop off from 2 to 3 greater than 1 to 2?

Yes.

 

[FoxyClean]

I'm ready for that Kreider-Kravtsov-Kakko line.

 

[Black Aces]

Hischier and Hughes will feel like Crosby and Malkin for the next 10 yrs plus.

Not even close.
