GDT: 2022 NHL Draft, Rd 1 Thursday 7/7 ESPN 4:00pm, Rds 2-7 Friday 7/8 NHL Network 8am

The Sharks probably don't have anything worthwhile to make available for Dach that makes sense. They're not giving up 11 for a kid struggling to produce in the NHL. Maybe you do something like a Wiesblatt and a future 2nd for Dach but not 11.

 

[Lebanezer]

Do you offer the 11th overall for Kirby Dach?

I wouldn’t he hasn’t progressed well in Chicago and I’d rather have the cost certainty and star potential of the draftable options at 11.

That is my thought as well but it is an interesting thought. New GM and an owner that wants results...

Grier shocks everyone and trades EK65 Meier Vlassic 11 pick to MTL for the 1 pick. Then goes off the board to draft consensus #11 pick.

THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS - ShOrKs HoCkEy!!!!

1) 11 and next year's 1st to Montreal for 1

2) Trade 1 to a team for their 2nd this year and 1st next year

3) Trade the 2nd and next year's 2nd to get back into the 1st round

4) Trade the freshly acquired 1st this year and next year's 1st from the earlier trade to move up in the round to like 15 or so.

5) Pick a guy at 15 then proudly proclaim that he was the guy you had on the board at 11 anyways and now they were able to trade down and get him

6) Dodge the question when it comes up that the team traded down and ultimately come out behind because the net result was trading away next year's 1st to move back 4 spots in the draft.

7) Grier takes off his Mission Impossible latex mask and it was Doug Wilson all along

8) ???

9) profit.

Maybe in a world where none of the guys you like are still available you make a last minute offer on the trade floor

 

[timorous me]

Tough to trade Dach if you're Chicago. 3rd overall pick just three years ago means you shouldn't sell too low because of that pedigree, but his performance also doesn't warrant that big of a return.

That being said, a player like him would be ideal for the Sharks--young with room to grow and develop, not expensive against the cap. If only it weren't Dach, lol.

 

[Patty Ice]

It is interesting because it seems like some people (myself included) were willing to trade the 11th for Kakko.

 

[mogambomoroo]

Now that Chicago has the 7th pick, it has all ''Matthew Savoie'' written on it imo

 

[PacificOceanPotion]

Dude…I don’t know if I have some crystal ball in my mind, or if I’m having a nervous breakdown…I think we’re gonna draft Mcgroarty at 11

Yes please

Yes please

It's so open wide, I'm having a nervous breakdown too...

I feel that Kakko is (a) already a solid player, so even if he doesn’t improve much on what he is you’re still getting a solid player, whereas with Dach he’s real bad at the moment and (b) Kakko’a potential is higher. That’s why I’d be willing to move the pick for Kakko but not Dach, anyway.

Plus Kakko just had a good playoff run on a line with other young players

 

[Karl Prime]

After the success that Lafreniere-Chytil-Kakko had in the playoffs, I don't know why NYR would want to move him. Roll with that line next year.

 

[Jargon]

Again, reiterating, if we don’t move 11 for a young player as I suspect I’m agreeing with at least 15 of Hodge’s terrible posts.

 

[The Nemesis]

Is ESPN simulcasting the Rogers Sportsnet draft feed or are they producing their own content?

Cause I hate that Sportsnet has the exclusive rights to all NHL programming including the draft now. Their crew sucks outside of Friedman and David Amber.

Ottawa looking for a RD

Sharks have couple of them...

Nem,looks as if it’s ESPN doing their own broadcast. Buccigross, Boucher, Weekes and a lady I don’t know.

If we retained salary on Karlsson and he got injured could we LTIR it.

 

[Juxtaposer]

Vlasic at the draft table? Karlsson for a 3rd round pick incoming.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

I'm surprised ESPN doesn't have any of the TSN guys actually at the draft to help with the coverage. Aren't they co-partners or something?

 

[Bowie22]

Coach announcement incoming?

 

[PacificOceanPotion]

Vlasic at the draft table? But why?…

 

[Levie]

Coach announcement incoming?

Praying that he remembers how much he loves Montreal and requests a trade. To anyone who lives in Montreal and is attending this event. Please bring you dog.
