GDT: Draft Day 2022

[Realgud]

Don't know ostlund like I knew seider. Didn't realize my post would begin such a commotion. I just know the person I know really likes ostlund, but don't know if that's who they are taking with either pick.

Sorry

damn it

Hoping for: Ostlund, Nazar, Ohgren or Savoie

HP ranks Lambert 8/9 on compete. One of the best in the draft.
At the end of the day, I think Lambert might project more as a Todd Marchant than a true top liner. But I think he's going to be a good NHLer for a long time.

I don’t believe Lambert has a compete problem. I think he genuinely doesn’t know what to do.

 

[odin1981]

This "yeet" that you speak of. It does not mean what you think it means.

What is 2OA in a weak draft really worth anyway?

Could end up the next Zacha, Zajac or Zalapski

If Montreal doesn't pick Wright 1st, second will have a value in a deal.

Lambert Absolutely does not lack compete; he grinds as hard as anyone in the top 10. He almost never actually wins the battles when I have watched though

 

[Holden Caufield]

Savoie, Gauthier, Korchinski and Nazar

Goyette at 40

 

[Roomba With a Bauer]

So I was looking over the history of the NHL draft, and Detroit has not been the host of the NHL draft since 1987. 35 years since an original six team was able to host a draft in its arena. Detroit has won 4 cups since the last time they got to host.

Sorry

Either pick?? So they are trading for a second 1st rounder??

But for real....Ill only be annoyed if they go D who isnt Nemec. I would be very happy with Kasper, Nazar, Lekkerimaki, Savoie, Ostlund or Yurov. I can see a solid reason for taking any of those guys.

 

[Killerjas]

European here, it will be midnight for us when we find out who goes to Detroit. Won't be logging into any social media streams tommorow because I dont want to get spoiled. The suspense is fun.

Will rewatch the Scouching draft stream for some good reactions and insights. Very hyped!

 

[Henkka]

What time will be the 1st pick ?

 

[NickH8]

Too bad we can only play four in our top 6.

You can only play four centers total...

 

[Hen Kolland]

You can only play four centers total...

This guy saying only 4 wingers can play in the top six as if he’s unaware that a majority of the season saw Fabbri and Zadina as second line wingers for this roster…

 

[Mister Ed]

I don’t believe Lambert has a compete problem. I think he genuinely doesn’t know what to do.

Lambert is what Zadina is right now - all the tools, but just can put it all together.

 

[DoMakc]

I'm happy with Nazar, Östlund, Savoie. Ok with Kasper, Ohgren, Lekkerimäki. Do not want: Gauthier, Gaucher, Geekie, Kemell, Snuggerud, or any of forwards masquerading as defensemen (Korchinski, Mintyukov, etc.)

 

[NickH8]

I hope Yzerman takes the top player on his list regardless of position, or horoscope or how much facial hair they have for that matter.

Sounds like coaching problem.

Great prospect, who can find the right coaching environment for him.

 

[Mister Ed]

Send him to Frolunda or Rogle for a couple of years, it might do the trick. But I'd rather draft someone else anyways, it's a moot point.

that draft hosts thing is weird to look at

as you said the Wings haven't hosted it since 1987(which was also the only time they ever hosted it), Boston has also only ever hosted it once and not since 1999, somehow the Rangers(or Islanders for that matter) have never hosted it yet Buffalo has 3 times and the Devils have once, Chicago has only ever hosted it once too(albeit in 2017), Toronto has hosted it twice and not since 2002

Montreal who is hosting it this year just hosted it in 2009 which is more recent than tons of teams, Ottawa a while back hosted it in 2005 and then again in 2009 for some reason

it all just feels so random looking at it

One of the best days of the year.

Really hoping to see a SY trade special today/tonight

What is Zelepukin chopped zliver?

Not trying to roast you for the typo. But it would've been impressive had Montreal and Ottawa both hosted in 2009.

Bring on the draft!

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Matthew Savoie or Frank Nazar.

 

[Ghost of Ethan Hunt]

If Montreal doesn't pick Wright 1st, second will have a value in a deal.

I read that Wright has ~ 50/50% chance of becoming an average 2C (at best), nothing special. Certainly not worth the assets it'd take to acquire 2OA, imo.

 

[AD1066]

I'll be happy with Savoie, Nazar, or Kasper.

Also oddly intrigued by Mintyukov despite being a LHD, have a gut feeling he outperforms his draft position and becomes one of the draft's best players.

What you read is a load of crap. But I will agree that it’s not worth the assets that it would take to acquire that pick.
