Mods; can we just make this the official GDT? I was going to start a new one because I found this extremely helpful draft tool via reddit and wanted to pin it at the top:

re-signing ben street doesn't do it for you, huh?

Actually I was really happy about that. I just hope they have a season.

We will have 1 of Raymond , Drysdale , Perfetti , Holtz , Sanderson or Rossi. Whoever we get is instantly our 1 prospect. Now imagine adding 2 players with Ty Smith-ish upside at 18 and 20. Tomorrow will be a big day.

I’ll be happy if we use all 3 picks but pleasantly surprised if we find the right young player to trade for with one of the picks. Would be nice to not be unwatchable again next year.

Found another amusing Draft Simulator. There's a bunch of sleepers at the end that they haven't ranked.

@SJinNewJersey, I hijacked the OP, need to jazz it up a bit.

What is it, 5 minutes per pick? 3 minutes. Can’t remember because you know “devils draft Hischier...” *click* “Devils draft Hughes...” *click*

 

[New Jersey Devils]

I’m really curious as to how this will be presented live. Are most players (outside of the top 10 or so) have hats for almost every team?

Draft in October is just too damn weird.

There was a article a week or so ago where they sent the top 50ish prospects 31 hats each

 

[Blackjack]

I guess if you're not in the top 50, and you get some random ass hat in the mail, someone is taking you early.

I really hope we get to see some draft riser not ready to be called, rummaging through a pile of hats awkwardly trying to find the right one.

It's more of an unofficial clock, the TV broadcast kinda dictates things. If you were to rewatch the old drafts, you'll typically see some random NHL employee standing by the team's table and their job is basically to tell them when to head up to the stage.

One amusing thing for me from attending the draft was hearing the impatient fans who'd yell at a team to hurry up and make their pick. I forget which year it was, but I yelled back "The TV broadcast is still in a commercial!"

The intervals will range anywhere from 3 to 6 minutes depending on whether they feel the need to interview the player/GM/etc.

I still have last year's draft on my DVR:

1st pick (Hughes) 7:18 EST
7th pick (Cozens) 7:53 EST
18th pick (Harley) 9:01 EST
20th pick (Heinola) 9:13 EST

The timing will probably be slightly different this year, but that's probably a decent ballpark approximation.

Okay, maybe I'll tune in at like 7:30. Don't care about the first three picks.

Anton Lundell is just the most bizarre prospect to me, he's like the first prospect whose floor is higher than his ceiling. Every writeup is "he's a safe pick, he'll definitely play in the NHL... also, he kind of sucks and will never be that good"

Their Zoom background changes to match the team that selected them after it’s announced. The graphics guys are going to knock it out of the park. (I don’t actually know.)
