GDT: 2023 NHL Entry Draft

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

The Great Avalanche Empire Eagerly Awaits the Recruitment of the Next Generation of Busts. They currently hold two 1sts, a 5th, 6th and 7th round picks, we know none of these draft picks will ever play for the franchise, yet we will hotly debate every single choice. Are you ready? I sure am not!

Does anyone have a kitten for this one? I'd really appreciate it.

Are all things rumors, draft and trade related going here for the time being?

Yea, I figured it could just be a live GDT thread where we talk about the actual picks, trade rumors and our frustration about how the Avs clearly should've picked this bust over that bust

 

[RoyIsALegend]

As of now, we have two picks on the board to make tonight.

I’m hoping we make zero.

We are going to take Hrabel and Stenberg and both are going to be amazing(ly quick to be moved in additional deals)

May I suggest to lock the other 2 threads? (Rumors and the other draft thread). Would be easier to keep up.

Can do.

 

[Alex Jones]

You know it wouldn't surprise me at all if the Avs end up picking twice tonight

Well, they DO have 2 picks tonight...

They should probably trade the picks for immediate help. But man it would be nice to have a few fresh first rounders in the pipeline again.

With the 27th Pick of the 2023 NHL Draft, the Colorado Avalanche select, Conner Bleackley.

Please trade them. Make the team better now.

You mean for those of us who don't care about the draft and only want trades?

Why?

These aren’t top 10 picks. These players will maybe turn into role players, just maybe, but most likely not.

With our track record, these guys will be worth shit all in a few months after they break every bone in their bodies and/or slump hard with their teams. I just know it.

Trade them now. Give us the best chance to win another Cup with MacK/Makar/Mikko in their primes. We are going to suck ass by the time these players would be ready to compete for depth spots on a lineup.

Really could use a real goalie prospect

Broadcast set to start at 5pm MT. Do we know when first pick will actually be taken?

Exactly. We're in a window to win. Trade and worry about consequences later. Would we rather have a 2nd line that works or another Oskar Olausson to wonder if he'll be anything?

 

[MacKaRant]

Some time after that

Oh cool, thanks

Probably 2-3 hours after that after some super cringey skits

This is correct. We need to wait for the east coast game to finish.

But check out live coverage on TruTV or ESPN-D3-U in the meantime.

 

[UncleRisto]

Great. Exactly the kind of player the Flames are hell bent on adding, but we know won't get them anywhere now or in the future.
