NHL Entry Draft 2023 NHL Draft Thread

Connor who?

Connor who?

Kid is going to push Bedard for 1OA, as I postulated a couple weeks ago. Bedard is likely the choice but I’m thinking the Bobfathers finally ranking won’t be unanimous. Teams still value size down the middle.

The top 3 in this draft is ridiculous

Very good top end this draft. Top 3 guys would easily be #1 in the past two drafts.

Connor who?

Very good start don’t get me wrong - but numbers are a bit deceiving. Up until really today the quality of opponents haven‘t been there.

Going forward it’ll be interesting to see if he can keep up a similar pace.

If we aren't in the hunt for the top guys but we are in the lottery then we should trade the pick.

Connor who?

I could see Fantilli going first. I'm hoping Ottawa has a shot at Mathew Wood RW.

At least the draft is good and has multiple elite talents at the top.

It’s a good year to suck.

Apparently mynhldraft has us going with Eduard Sale, although Dalibor Dvorsky is available.

Sale is my fifth ranked skater at this point, but I haven’t watched Dvorsky this year. I will at some point, just slowly working through players.

Can we lock this till atleast American Thanksgiving

I'm not joking.

 

[NHL Dude 120]

If we can re-sign DeBrincat to a long term extension and keep our high pick we are going to be in a position to draft Giroux's replacement. That said I am also fine trading our 2024 1st round pick and a 2023 2nd as well to help get a D-men.

Just don’t 2021 our 1st when we settle in 10th-15th and we’re off to a good start.

Barlow, Wood, Honzek, Ziemmer, Stramel and Rehkopf seem like the most likely Sens picks if they end up finishing somewhere between 8-15.

Super early though.

Pretty depressing seeing this thread so early in the season.

Fantilli or Michkov? Hmm.

 

[Ouroboros]

Colby Barlow has Senators written all over him.

Someone to keep an eye on when they make their inevitable late-season charge to 9th.
