2023 NHL Draft

[Zapp]

Colorado gets him haha

f***ing Makar and Gulyayev..

We’re going to get torched by the Avs for years.

 

[Ghost of Kyiv]

Gulyayev at 31, what a steal. Avs are killing it the past couple of days. You hate to see it.

I’ve been watching Gulyayev for awhile and he’s an elite playmaking d-man. Like a player who can break the game just like Makar just in a different way. He creates space for his teammates better than any d-man Ive ever seen at his age.

Still some nice names on the board like Cristall, Dragivec, etc.. wish Dallas had an earlier 2nd rounder

It’ll be interesting to see if their warts can push them far enough down for Nill to snag them (the the scouts like them). Etienne Morin is another on that could hopefully fall to us. Well over ppg as an ‘05 defenceman is pretty good, but like Dragevich has concerns about skating.

There would've been 6 guys on the board at 29 I would've been stoked to have. Edstrom, Gulyayev, Heigt, Brindley, Cristall and Nadeau all would've been super exciting if Dallas still had the pick. Just for the sake of my own future receipt I would've went with Edstrom. 6'3" 2-way centers as good as him aren't usually available at that slot, I can get my undersize skill guy fix later in the draft.

 

[M88K]

M88K on suicide watch...

Nah, NHL awards are meaningless

 

[Satan]

No 1st round pick + on a Wednesday? Bad

 

[redbeardtx]

Legit fell asleep halfway through this crap

 

[Erebor]

I really hope the Stars draft Damian Clara.
He is from the same region than I come from, he played in the national teams with some of my teammates and we have the same summer athletic coach.

 

[Zrhutch]

Not too concerned about other teams in our division drafting well. Dallas’ 2C is 20 years old and the core of this team outside of Roope is all proven and 24 or under. Lotta ball left/lotta hoops to jump through for the Nashvilles, St. Louises, Minnesotas and Chicagos of the world to catch up.

 

[David Castillo]

I'd be varying degrees of excited, cool, and eyebrows raised for any of the following:

• Beau Akey
• Andrew Cristall
• Hunter Brzustewicz
• Koehn Ziemmer
• Andrew Gibson
• Jaden Lapinski
• Albert Wikman
• Gavin Brindley
• Coulson Pitre
• Adam Gajan

I like some others, granted. But some of these I LOVE.

 

[Triple Ex El]

Replace "Friends In Low Places" with "Akey Breaky Heart"?


*sorry, I'll see myself out...

 

[David Castillo]

Already four names scratched off my list. I knew most of these were pipe dreams but Gibson that high? Damn.

Dude I know wtf. Hoping Ziemmer is still there at 61

 

[Satan]

Very cool

[Zapp]

Good pick

 

[Zrhutch]

This guy had Michkov ahead of Bedard so take it with salt

 

[Kipper 17]

Good skater, high IQ, potential at both ends of the rink. I like it.

 

[Smelling Salt]

Give that man a PHWA membership

I really don't think Michkov above Bedard is crazy. Outdoing Kucherov his pre-Draft year is no joke. Still, Bacon has always made it known that that it's a strict equivalency model ranking and nothing more.

Most people on here don’t have access to KHL prospects or know much about them so they just follow the consensus. I wouldn’t expect many people here to know how good Michkov actually is
