2023 NHL Entry Draft

[Gravity]

Question is which ones on this list will end up dropping to the 2nd 3rd etc

Legit any C in the top 10 and I'll be happy. If mgmt fails to do this, I'll crucify them.

 

[Goldenhands]

If we don't get out of that draft with one of the top C it will be a huge failure.

Unless Dach starts to play like a top 6 center, but you can always move Dach to the wing so yeah, ideally a top line center out of this draft.

 

[sampollock]

Some centres in draft next year

 

[McPhees Moustache]

Play poorsky for Dvorsky

 

[Lazytrout]

Lose with Honour for Connor

No honour for Connor

 

[Nedved]

outside the bottom three for a f*** me

 

[Habricot]

Top 10, according to Craig Button.

1. Connor Bedard (C) - Regina (WHL)
2. Matvei Michkov (RW) - Morozova (MHL)
3. Adam Fantilli (C) - Chicago (USHL)
4. Calum Ritchie (C) - Oshawa (OHL)
5. Dalibor Dvorsky (C) - AIK (J20 Nationell)
6. Brayden Yager (C) - Moose Jaw (WHL)
7. Zach Benson (LW) - Winnipeg (WHL)
8. Leo Carlsson (C) - Orebro (SHL)
9. Charlie Stramel (RW) - US NTDP
10. Theo Lindstein (D) - Byrnas (J20 Nationell)

Bedard, Fantilli, Ritchie, Dvorsky, Carlsson - get into bottom 5 and take one.

I really hope we get a top 3 pick because we won the lottery not because we did not loose it.

 

[Gustave]

We need to be atrocious again. We need it so bad. The tank to end all tanks.

The C class looks very promising.

Top 10, according to Craig Button.

1. Connor Bedard (C) - Regina (WHL)
2. Matvei Michkov (RW) - Morozova (MHL)
3. Adam Fantilli (C) - Chicago (USHL)
4. Calum Ritchie (C) - Oshawa (OHL)
5. Dalibor Dvorsky (C) - AIK (J20 Nationell)
6. Brayden Yager (C) - Moose Jaw (WHL)
7. Zach Benson (LW) - Winnipeg (WHL)
8. Leo Carlsson (C) - Orebro (SHL)
9. Charlie Stramel (RW) - US NTDP
10. Theo Lindstein (D) - Byrnas (J20 Nationell)

Bedard, Fantilli, Ritchie, Dvorsky, Carlsson - get into bottom 5 and take one.

We should at least be in the top 10. If Dach doesn't work out, they better go for a C.

And the great thing is though I have no doubt the Blackhawks and Arizona will be at the bottom, the worst will only have a 25 % chance of 1OA. So we will still be able to have a chance at Bedard.

 

[McGuires Corndog]

We need to be atrocious again. We need it so bad. The tank to end all tanks.

The C class looks very promising.

Bedard is the next mega star, getting him would be the dream.

 

[Jabba11]

Bedard will fall to 4th overall. Give me this year's Slafkovsky or PLD/Huberdeau.

It's a joke. Give me Bedard or Michkov. Honestly, Michkov is such a generational talent too.

 

[Gravity]

Please, please, please lord baby Jesus let us draft top 5 in 2023

 

[BenchBrawl]

TANK HARD FOR BEDARD

Top 10, according to Craig Button.

1. Connor Bedard (C) - Regina (WHL)
2. Matvei Michkov (RW) - Morozova (MHL)
3. Adam Fantilli (C) - Chicago (USHL)
4. Calum Ritchie (C) - Oshawa (OHL)
5. Dalibor Dvorsky (C) - AIK (J20 Nationell)
6. Brayden Yager (C) - Moose Jaw (WHL)
7. Zach Benson (LW) - Winnipeg (WHL)
8. Leo Carlsson (C) - Orebro (SHL)
9. Charlie Stramel (RW) - US NTDP
10. Theo Lindstein (D) - Byrnas (J20 Nationell)

Bedard, Fantilli, Ritchie, Dvorsky, Carlsson - get into bottom 5 and take one.

wow, looking at this, we did good not picking a center this year.

especially since Michkov is very risky with the Russian business

They are all C's lmao

We're not guaranteed to get Bedard but we surely will pick in the Top 8

Only thing that will be left to find is a #1D, hopefully the Panthers suck balls this year, or we can get another good 1st round pick by trading Petry/Anderson

He better flee Russia now, it was quite evident that all Russian players were on our DND, I'd say that with 75/25 confidence

Yeah, their goaltending needs crash hard!

Having an unprotected 1st in this draft for Chiarot is crazy.

 

[HabsForHire]

That'll be tough again.

Arizona and Chicago will definitely be bottom 2 this year.

I expect HuGo to keep selling so we'll see.

That's what we said this year lol, we probably won't be last again but bottom 10 is very very likely. And who knows maybe Bittman hands us another 1st overall

He better flee Russia now, it was quite evident that all Russian players were on our DND, I'd say that with 75/25 confidence

Plus things can change in a year. who knows, Russia might be completely cut-off at that point. Kinda scary

 

[NeptunesTrident]

Does Fantilli slot in as a C or LW in the NHL? I've seen some questions raised regarding it.

I personally see him more on the wing at the moment.

@Goldenhands who are we drafting this year?

Where are we drafting?

No clue, not expecting to follow the next year crop much.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Leo Carlsson is my guy unless he poops his pants.

Why's that?

 

[Goldenhands]

Why's that?

I gave my best, we have some knowledgeable guys over here to keep us informed.

Leo Carlsson is my guy unless he poops his pants.

Could be, big fan as well.

Worth noting, Dvorsky ended up 2nd in scoring at the Hlinka below Michkov, no doubt that we will get a great player at the top of this draft.

 

[Takeru]

How many of these guys will end up with huge red flags by the end of next season?
And where will we end up picking?
Hopefully before the high bust potential zone, I can’t take another top pick war so soon after this one lol

We will pick top 10 and who knows on red flags, Michkov for sure becuase of his contract and geopolitical situations.
