GDT: 2020 NHL Draft Round 1 - 7 PM - NBCSN

[None Shall Pass]

I have class during the draft. And it's the class I need to pay attention to the most. Ugh.

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

Happy Draft Drysdale day!

 

[The Grinder]

Finally a Devils hockey event is upon us.

It is no underestimation to say today is damned important for the franchise going forward. I’d be happy with obtaining two serious contributors to the roster to consider today a success, whether we make all three picks or work our picks 18 and 20 + for a current player in the age bracket Fitz is looking for.

Sanderson
Rossi
Drysdale
Raymond

in that order for 7.

Let us know when you have no class

Retaking the class next year really isn’t the end of the world

Let us know when you have no class

Since I’m 41, I get the reference here. I don’t know if the youngins will though...maybe we should call Bubbles?

I’m close enough and the reference is going over my head at the moment

 

[MNDevilsfan]

Hoping for Raymond, Rossi, or Holtz, though with a strong start I'm guessing the former will be off the board by 7.

Guessing (based on the few tea leaves there are to read) the pick will be Sanderson if he's there and Askarov if he's not.

Rodney Dangerfield in Back To School.

Hi. I was wondering if the mock draft competition thread could be opened back up for those who still want to join the competition, as that isn’t really a discussion thread. Thanks

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

Let us know when you have no class

I`m unsure if it is a back to school reference..it`s close.

 

[FooteBahl]

What’s the over/under for the time this site crashes tonight? 7:10 EST?

Guys I just got of the phone with Lou's brother's sistser's son's father's boyfriend's, plumber's dentist's massage therapist and he told be we're picking Askarov.

Wow, surprised he's falling all the way to the third round, but I'll take it.

 

[Tretyak 20]

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

So in other words, tommorow is ebay time for the top prospects?

I doubt we draft him 7th. The kid is under contract. Who knows when he’ll come over, if ever.

 

[Brooklyndevil]

Sign a dam goalie Fitz.

Perusing betting lines on NJ sportsbooks to see what oddsmakers feel about the draft order. The most likely for each draft slot:

1. Laf -20,000
2. Stutzle -125, Byfield -110
3. Byfield -125, Stutzle -110
4. Perfetti -165, Raymond +450, Askarov +500, Sanderson/Rossi +600
5. Sanderson +200, Raymond/Askarov +400, Drysdale +600

Player to be drafted first:
1.Sanderson (-162) vs. 2.Drysdale (+120)

Draft position over/under:
Askarov over/under 10.5
Sanderson o/u 5.5
Drysdale o/u 6.5
Raymond o/u 7.5
Rossi o/u 7.5

Reading the tea leaves, it seems as though the Sanderson hype is real and that he will not be around for our pick (at least in the eyes of oddsmakers). It really comes down to what Anaheim does at 6 to see if we get a shot at Drysdale. If they go with him, the likeliest choice is between Rossi and Raymond at that o/u 7.5. Thankfully Askarov’s o/u of 10.5 makes me think he will not be our selection at 7, but you never know. Personally, I’d be very happy choosing between Raymond, Drysdale, and Rossi at 7 if this is indeed how it shakes out with no monkey wrenches thrown in the mix (there usually is).

That's a weird way to spell Gunnarwolfe Fontaine

Gunnarwolfe Fontaine is a weird way to spell Gunnarwolfe Fontaine.

 

[OmNomNom]

my gut is we end up w drysdale

 

[Ripshot 43]

Rodney Dangerfield in Back To School.

I’m disappointed because I’ve seen that movie recently too

Interesting take on the draft. Thanks for posting this unique view.

If we walk away with Rossi or Sanderson after 7 the draft is a win for me.

 

[HischierSeDgewOrk]

man do i wish our 2nd pick was 10.

 

[TonySoprano]

Im hoping for in order of preference @7:

Rossi/Drysdale
Perfetti
Raymond
Sanderson
Holtz
Askorov

But in the end I'd be happy with everybody except The goalie
