GDT: Draft Day! 1st round Friday June 23rd. In TT we trust: TVA, SN 7pm EST

[Mercury10]

I'm also curious about the % chances of a trade up? This might not be the right thread to discuss it but we've got some time to kill until #25 is up. lol
My guess is about a 20% chance of a trade up and it would be for one of the 2nd tier centers.

NHL Draft day : 1st round at 7pm

It's draft day...Nico or Nolan?

Habs move up, move down, trade away or do nothing.

 

[TennisMenace]

Will I get stoned if I say I don't trust TT? Because I don't. We never seem to have great kids coming up.

 

[JuicyHam]

One of my favourite days of the year. Always exciting even if it is anticlimactic.

Is he really even the head scout anymore? From what Ive heard and read he just seems to be VP and help make decisions about trading prospects and trusting his scouts

 

[Milhouse40]

Pending call
Another big one.

There's a thread open where you can post your picks as they happen and compare your list to Timmins' after the fact.

 

[Tyson]

Already started. Will Habs make a splash? Or the usual draft day dud?

Seriously, just trade the 1 round draft pick we all know it's going to be another bust.

 

[Harry Kakalovich]

Very excited - best hockey weekend of the year!!

I'd trust him with picks in later rounds.

We need someone else to pick first round.

 

[JusticeBeaver]

So many fake accounts on twitter reporting trades, be on the look out!

 

[Le Barron de HF]

Is RDS really showing the draft tonight?

 

[Habsfan18]

My favorite day of the year by far.

 

[WeThreeKings]

It's always crazy. Most of the changes to teams are done today

Pretty much. I still don't understand how anyone projected McCarron to be worth a top 30 selection. Offensive potential was NOWHERE to be found. IMO.

Just TVA and SN afaik. I just checked it on my satellite, RDS is broadcasting Tennis/CFL at 7:30pm.

He was picked 25th and with his size he was probably not making 2nd round. There wasnt much better taken after him. The best two players after him so far because its still early is Hartman and Lehkonen.

Ditto. And even there, the same question marks around Mac were present with Hartman.

How can a scout be a great talent evaluator in later rounds but not in the 1st round ? Makes no sense. Talent is talent, it shouldnt matter when we pick. 1st round is the most crucial and TT is meh.

I suppose that people's logic is that Timmins is good at finding future NHLers in later rounds (no impact players) and expectations are higher in that regard when you're picking in the first round. My problem with Timmins is more that he seems to have difficulty targeting forwards. His resume is much more impressive in net and on D.

Lekhonen was quite a pick though, but yeah he has a much better average at picking Ds than forwards, I agree.

If ever the Habs draft someone today and I'm like "WTF WHY?" I'll just remember this

 

[Habs Icing]

Any chance we can watch the draft on the web?
