GDT: GDT: 2013 NHL Draft in New Jersey [6/30 @ 12pm PT on TSN & NBCSN] GDT #1

[Pinkfloyd]

They didn't trade up to get Coyle though.

And that matters how?

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

Maybe, but in the next two months there will be about 5000 posts on the main board about trading him now.

I've read (might have been in moneyball) that there were MLB teams who'd value players who had hot girlfriends much much more than those that didn't. If that was an organizational requirement, imagine being a scout for that, eh? Haha.

Lower self confidence=ugly gf he said

I wonder if DW wanted Mueller, or wanted a Dman. Since Morin, Zadarov, Pulock, Morrissey etc were all gone. Maybe he felt the defensive drop off was big after Mueller?

Or you're just less shallow and more likely to be focused on the game rather than whoring around with the boys instead of training.

I'll get some flack here, but if the noteables are gone, thoughts on a risky high skill pick with Buchnevich?

Still hoping for zykov

I can understand that. Though I liked Hagg a tiny bit more than Meuller.

 

[Negatively Positive]

Really wish we still had 3 second rounders.

I'm glad we only have 1 because DW would have traded the 49th and 58th to draft 48th.

Great pick with Bigras. I like Florida and Colorado's drafts so far.

I read that college football coaches are less likely to hire assistant coaches with less than attractive wives. They think that if they can't recruit a beautiful woman as their wife, they won't be as good a recruiter.

Franklin from Vanderbilt said that in an interview as well.

Eye candy and salesmanship play big roles on and off the diamond/field/ice/etc.

Probably goes a little way towards explaining how so many Pros wind up penniless a decade after their careers end too.

 

[Episkey]

There goes Erne to Tampa

 

[glasgow26]

And there goes Erne

 

[AJ SF4L]

Tampa takes Erne

 

[BaileyMacTavish]

Erne goes poof.

Hard not to like teams who have lottery picks...

 

[AJ SF4L]

And now Montreal snaps up De La Rose

 

[WTFetus]

And that matters how?

Because you said the Coyle tweet was cherry-picking...

Kurz' tweet was cherry-picking stats. I don't know why you highlighted the Coyle comment.

Zero chance we pick him. Wilson's shown he drafts scared.

 

[murdock1116]

Petan or Zykov please!!

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Does anyone remember what Craig Button's Scouting report scores for Mueller were?

Skating
Ice Q
Hands
Shot
Compete Level

I believe hands and shot were 3's. There was one more 3. 2 5's.

Excellent trade by Carolina. I really really like Sekera.

 

[AJ SF4L]

Wow, #35 and McBain for Sekera.
