GDT: 2023 Upper Deck NHL Draft: 1st Round, June 28, 7 p.m. et | ESPN, SN, TVAS: Nashville, TN

[Kudo Shinichi]

Don't overthink it Hughes, just pick whoever of the big 5 is left

 

[Habs 4 Life]

Upper deck still exists? Didn’t know that.

Does O’Pee Chee still operate?

yes

 

[Runner77]

Draft won't be as exciting without the #31 & #37 picks. It's a long wait from pick #5 to pick #69.

Considering the sheer number of posts and time dedicated to the traded picks throughout the season, it feels like a big dose of excitement was taken from under us.

 

[Beendair Donedat]

wait are they saying Slaf has a low ceiling?

Probably.

He hit his head on everything else last year, might as well add the ceiling.

 

[dinodebino]

yes

Oh my! Shades from the past!

 

[River Meadow]

I dunno why but I figured this was on TSN

Pierre McGuire

Bob McKenzie

Gord Miller


Those were the f_______ dayssssssss

Post of the day.

The Montreal Canadiens are proud to select..


From Czechia...

Eduard, Sale.

 

[ZUKI]

People should put Michkov in their lineups. It worked so well with Dubois.

Call him Michel Michaud

Thank you!!!!

I was pumped just for the sheer volume of high end talent I expected would be added via draft or trade from this exceptional draft.

Instead we end up with Alex Oldhook and our second and third best assets are in Colorado???

It’s like getting gas station sushi.

The entire fan base will have a heart attack.

 

[Boris Le Tigre]

Do we trade down now?

Now that we traded a couple. Maybe that increases the benefit of a trade down.

On a positive note, we can tune in and tune out of the draft pretty quickly if we want.

It's all about 5 for me. The other picks are irrelevant.

 

[ZUKI]

100% expecting it to be traded down.
Philly, Preds, Caps and Detroit are on my radar.

They can't trade it to 4 teams, just one.

 

[WentWughes]

The top 7 will go:

1:Bedard
2:Fantilli
3:Smith
4:Leonard
5:Carlsson
6:Reinbacher
7:Michkov


No need on arguing, it’s happening. Welcome to the Habs Leo.

 

[Naslund]

The last 2 times we took a risk. We have won big time (Price and Caufield). Maybe ,we will add Hutson to that list soon. Come on Kent, take a risk and gamble on Michkov.

We risked in taking Galchenyuk (did not play in his draft year), and failed.
We risked in taking Kotkaniemi (he was a reach because we needed a C), and we failed
We risked in taking A. Kostitsyn (a player with medical issue from a country producing few NHL players), and we failed.
And Caufield was not a risk at 15 after dropping there. He was then the obvious pick. Price was a risk.
Risking is not always the way to go.

 

[rahad]

Is the draft at 7pm or 8pm?

 

[Team_Spirit]

This draft class is pretty top heavy to even be in the mix for a guy like MM at 5 is unreal. The off the wall predictions are hilarious..

Call him Michel Michaud

I like it

Free avy

Do I take it you’re out after the 5th pick is announced? That’s really too bad.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

7est

If Leonard goes before Michkov or Carlsson, I'll be absolutely shocked.

It is when that player has more talent then the others.

I miss the good old gum in them.
