GDT: 2018 NHL Entry Draft (SJ Board Edition)

[The Nemesis]

What the hell? The lazy text-only NHL.com draft tracker doesn't auto-refresh?

What is this? 1997?

 

[Gecklund]

Trade the 2 4ths to move into the 2nd, take Wise

Trade the 2 5ths to move into the 3rd, take Roman

Kick back and wait for the 6th round, take Crookshank and goaltender David Tendeck.

Know that I have been satisfied by this excessively specific and impossible draft scenario.

Better plan.

Cancel the Martin waivers and trade him for a 2nd because teams love trading 2 2nds for over the hill D

Trade Karlsson for a 3rd

Keep our other picks

Sign Tavares today to an 8 year at 1M per contract. (I know there's no 8th year option for us but that's the only thing wrong with this contract right?)

 

[Gene Parmesan]

This draft is weird. There's so many great prospects still available and we are halfway through the second. The picks are just all over the board (in mock drafts I've participated in I've gotten Romanov in the 7th round.)

Because what the fans and media think never line up with NHL teams.

 

[PacificOceanPotion]

I go to work at 10 am PT, at this pace I may see the fourth round yet lol.

TSN's does. It's still on 46 though.

Solution: sign him to a 7yr/$1m contract and then immediately sign him to a 5yr/$1m extension.

Blam, done.

Otherwise it's all perfect.

 

[The Nemesis]

TSN's does. It's still on 46 though.

Yeah, it's a slower re-load because of all the graphics though.

and HF now breaking, the footer image is now a broken link.

Sound the fallout alarms.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

One thing I will give credit for this NHL Network telecast. Craig Button is not there. It doesn't feel awkward today like it did last night.

 

[The Nemesis]

520 errors and full-on meltdown mode initiated.

Great Zombie Jesus this is embarrassing.

 

[Led Zappa]

Astonishing that the biggest hockey forum in the world is useless for major events.

 

[Internazionale]

The Hockey Guy has a live reaction stream on youtube of all picks today for those interested.

I think it was the Kovalchuk signing that broke down the site.

 

[The Nemesis]

NEW AND IMPROVED HF!!!!!

 

[Friday]

Less exciting when I cant write on the board here. At least the Sharks havent done anything to talk about

 

[hohosaregood]

I hope we can get Jake Wise. Still on the board I think

 

[The Nemesis]

He is.

Now trade a 4th and 5th twice over for a pair of 3rds, Wise and Roman are still there.

Come on DW, where are all those balls you had last night?

 

[hohosaregood]

The way they talked about Olivier Rodrigue makes that pick almost like a classic Edmonton nepotism pick.

 

[hohosaregood]

He is.

Maybe he knows they're dropping to us and he's like "lol waste your picks assholes."

 

[hohosaregood]

damn there goes jake wise.

 

[The Nemesis]

Maybe he knows they're dropping to us and he's like "lol waste your picks *******s."

Nope. There goes Wise to Chicago

 

[Gecklund]

Maybe it’s just me but with NYR having so many picks, they aren’t having a great draft. Same with MTL to an extent.

NYI is having a fantastic draft though

 

[Captain Serious]

With Wise gone, I'm hoping the sharks go with Bulat Shafigullin

 

[The Nemesis]

Fun fact: Skarek was supposed to be the Czech starter at the WJCs. And then he lost the job to Josef Korenar.

 

[Gecklund]

With Wise gone, I'm hoping the sharks go with Bulat Shafigullin

I’m hoping for Lauko or McLaughlin

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Being this quiet on the 2nd day just seems unnatural given how DW normally works.
