GDT: 2021 Draft - Part 4 - 8pm SN, NHL network, TSN1200

[Yak]

Trade both 2nd round picks for Wallstedt?

 

[PatrickEaves]

very surprised to see Wallstedt last this far. Will probably see another team move up for a goalie pretty soon

He's polished and advanced for his age. But I am really not enamored with his lateral movement at all.

 

[Sens72]

If Wallstedt drops into the mid-20s I can see us trading up

edit: seems like Edmonton is taking him

 

[WORLDSTARHIPHOP]

Forgive my ignorance because I'm not a prospects guy, but all we mostly go off on are lists and rankings, unless someone has seen most of these prospects play. How much of a bigger deviance are rankings this year due to COVID? Now to compound to that we're drafting a guy that was injured(?) as well? I thought the consensus this year was that it's going to be a weak draft and be a crapshoot.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

All these American players seem depressed as hell getting selected by these Canadian teams lol

Rich families, rich spoiled kids.

The game is 'a changing.

 

[aragorn]

The sens don't have an actual gm or actual scouts

Yes they do, I'm advising them.

 

[Micklebot]

It's a display of logic... it can be about literally anything at all. It can be about picking Halloween candy. It can be about getting caught in infidelity. We already have 'intel' that NYR was targeting him. There is no reason, anywhere near conclusive, to expect that trading down and getting Boucher was a simple endeavor.

Here's some logic for you; driving impaired actually has evidence to support higher risk of crashing. You've provided no evidence Boucher would get picked had we moved back, just fear mongering that he might have. We're done because you're resorting to bad faith arguments like the one about Brayden Pointe. There's really no point continuing once discussions get to that level.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Yes and we had a lot of success too, the problem I have is the so many posters here ONLY FOCUS on the bad picks and never on the good picks! I don't know why that is? Is it because they think they could do a better job then the actual GM and SCOUTS??? I don't get it!

We do have a good scouting staff. But even a good scouting staff can screw up on occasion.

And I don't remember anyone complaining last year with our two top 5 picks. The idea that everyone is always negative is a bunch of bs.

Wasn't there a bunch of people pissed that we got Sanderson? That he was just a Cowen?

Yes

 

[Yak]

Edm needs Wallstedt worst then us however.

 

[WORLDSTARHIPHOP]

Yes

I think there was still people pissed until that 5OT NoDak game

 

[albator71]

Oh for Christ's sake here we go another hater! Isn't that just a beautiful thing!

 

[BondraTime]

Would love to move up to grab Dean

I never said he'd get picked if we moved back, although there IS 'evidence' he may well have. All I said acting as though he absolutely would have been available had we moved back is wildly presumptive.... which you took issue with. And here we are.

The argument that we could have moved back and grabbed him but just didn't is a bad one. That's all I have said. Cheers.

(Full disclosure, I didn't do nearly as much research and personal video viewings as I normally do because covid and I didn't really care as much this year)

The guys being picked have followed general consensus generally. Just the odd outlier like our pick, and Wallstedt "dropping" (though with goalies... there tend to be more variance).

I suspect that the later round picks are going to be wild though, and in 7 years, you are going to see quite a few more "steals" than in normal years.

No no you're right, everything is perfect in Sens land. Maybe we can trade back into the 1st round to select projected 5th rounder!!

 

[Yak]

WTF Holland? Edm needed a future goalie and he just passed on him. Holland is idiot. Guess he will draft d-man!

 

[Emerica]

Would love to move up to grab Dean

Yes please

Mike Smith gonna be around til he's 50. They dont need a new goalie.

 

[cudi]

Just ask Gord to do it for you.

 

[Sun God Nika]

I would keep 39 and 42 at this point rather than see the sens trade them both and get someone ranked 60 at 25

I mean out of all the many things to legitimately shit on about this organization, the drafting is at least above average in the NHL

 

[Super Cake]

This f***ing thing is taking forever to end.

If it were up to me, i could make it only last an hour or at the most an hour and a half. 3 hours of this bullshit is just too long.
