GDT: Caps 2013 NHL Draft Thread

[Berakos]

WTB some trades

 

[Ovechtrick89*]

WOW! Weber, Jones, Ellis, Josi. Officially jealous!

 

[SimplySensational]

Detroit has reportedly moved down from 18 to 21 (Toronto moving up).

What in the hell?

18 seems like a place you have a good chance to get a great player.

 

[Langway]

@HeleneStJames: Contrary to tweets, DET has not traded 18th pick to Toronto. Faulty system, per Ken Holland.

It did seem a bit early to move down.

 

[Carlzner]

Caved in and bought plane wifi... still have 3 hours and this draft is exciting as hell so far, watching from Twitter.

 

[Ovechtrick89*]

The NHL draft, where trading Forsberg happens.

 

[strungout]

This is exciting?

Though if they did, would you think they were aiming for Pulock?

 

[Langway]

This is exciting?

Agreed. It won't get interesting until the mid-teens I suspect. Or until there's an actual hockey trade of consequence.

No idea what trading down or up would mean for a particular player later on at this point.

If there's maybe a storyline to watch soon it's whether Nichushkin falls.

 

[Carlzner]

For me, yes. Did not expect to turn my computer on to Barkov at 2 and Jones at 4.

 

[Ovechtrick89*]

Who have you all got going to the Caps providing they stick at 23?

 

[SimplySensational]

Afro kid up to the stage.

 

[Langway]

Well there's something:

@StapeNewsday: #Isles have acquired Cal Clutterbuck from the Wild for Nino Niederreiter.

Seems a bit redundant with Matt Martin around but...that's Garth.

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

****ing McNabb

 

[Calicaps]

Afro kid up to the stage.

Wut?

 

[SimplySensational]

I hope that GMGM tried to get in on that...

Wut?

Some fat kid with a Afro goes up on the stage with the Oilers every year, not sure who's kid he is.

With Nurse going up I guess I should've been more descriptive.

 

[Liberati0n*]

MacTavish sounds hammered in the interview.

 

[Langway]

Nichushkin to NJ with Kovalchuk would be a heck of a fit.

 

[Halpysback*]

Nichushkin tanking. I guess rumors about his crap combine were true.

Hopefully McPhee can manage to pull some strings and gets us another moody russian

 

[SimplySensational]

Clutterbuck... Caps couldn't have offered something better?

 

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

Lame so far.

Need moar trades.

 

[Langway]

Sounds like Cory Scheider to NJ for the ninth pick.

 

[butters8814*]

GMGM just having a great time in newark today. Having a good meal and talking to good friends, oh wait, of course no trades tho, and not helping the team, just sitting on his hands.

 

[brs03]

Sounds like Cory Scheider to NJ for the ninth pick.

Wow.

 

[sk84fun_dc]

NJD get a goalie Schneider for the first rounder; so not just year to year for NJD anymore
