[geehaad]

Let's separate all the well-reasoned takes of the past months from the hot takes of today, shall we?

The NHL draft is better than the NBA draft.

 

[tarheelhockey]

I hope we draft Grayson Allen.

 

[Bunch of Jurcos]

For the thousands in attendance and the millions watching around the world on NBCSN, ladies and gentlemen, from the American Airlines Center in Dallas, LET'S GET READY TO PICK SVECHNIKOV!

 

[HisIceness]

I hope we draft Grayson Allen.

I hear LiAngelo Ball is available.

 

[CandyCanes]

Today is the day that we can finally claim our gift from the hockey gods. Thank you hockey gods for finally gifting us a lottery pick, we are forever grateful. We shall hopefully use this gift wisely.

 

[JCLA]

Give me Svechnikov or give me death

 

[Svechhammer]

Pull a Sixers... Draft Svech, an hour later trade him for Tkachuk and a 2019 1st....

#winning

 

[tarheelhockey]

We have a trade to announce

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Pick 1 and 2 are going to be the most uneventful picks. Sabres already have pictures of Jerseys with Dahlin's name on them in their store. Chip said Svechnikov was killing time yesterday afternoon at a hotel Starbucks with Dundon. #3 is where it gets interesting.

 

[Joe McGrath]

I’ll say it, I think the Canes are going to win the lottery. Maybe as a thank you to TD for taking this festering turd off their boy Karmanos’s hands.

From the draft thread in February. Feel like it should be documented in here as well.

 

[SlavinAway]

Happy Svech Day everyone!

 

[Joe McGrath]

Draft Svechnikov.

 

[The Stranger]

Conspiracy theory or act of hockey gods?

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

"Gary, I'll pay PK's ridiculous price and agree to keep the team in Raleigh, but you are going to have to help me out here. What are you going to do for me?"

 

[CandyCanes]

This is going to be the Svech day ever!

 

[tarheelhockey]

Draft Svechnikov.

Don’t tell Tom Dundon what to do

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Somebody better research where he can get the best borscht in the Triangle as it's his favorite food. @garnetpalmetto any ideas?

 

[the halleJOKEL]

still surreal as heck taht we have the 2nd overall pick in this draft

Surrealism - the irrational juxtaposition of images


Instead of drafting Svechnikov, we will draft a flamingo

There's a Polish deli on NC-55 between RTP and Durham. That's about all I got. That said, if it means we keep Svech happy, I volunteer to serve as personal chef. I can read Russian and I've got 2 borscht recipes.

 

[HisIceness]

Don’t tell the highest boss what to do

Fixed

"Gary, I'll pay PK's ridiculous price and agree to keep the team in Raleigh, but you are going to have to help me out here. What are you going to do for me?"

It is curious how that happened isn't it. I'm not complaining at all, but man, to hit the lottery right after the team is sold? I'm not saying the wheels were greased... But I'm not saying they weren't...

 

[Lucky Lindy]

Finally.

 

[Bunch of Jurcos]

I'm sorry to say but for one day only Rusev day has been cancelled.
