GDT: It's Draft Day 2016 | 7 PM EDT - NBCSN, SN, TVAS

[Burt Reynolds]

Nash grabs Fabbro of course and has great D coming out their arses

 

[ranold26]

Arizona stole the draft tonight with Keller and Chychrun.

 

[toasterjam]

amazing trade by red wings there..wow

 

[ap3lovr]

Ken Hollland just took the rookie GM to the woodshed. Got rid of Datsyuk's cap hit to move down 4 spots.

I think the other way around here. A young GM took on a cap hit that he won't have to pay a penny on. His team can actually make money this year and stock the prospect cupboard.

 

[Coach Parker]

I'm 99% sure it was reported nobody offered a first for Eriksson at the deadline

Makes me feel better about the entire situation if that is the case. Back to the draft:

Fabbro is still there!

 

[pierre gagnon*]

chychryn if smart will use this day to inspire him for his career

 

[DKH]

Just putting this out there:

Didn't Minnesota offer their first (15th overall today) for Eriksson at the trade deadline?

No but it's creative whoever put it out there

 

[Gee Wally]

Are you drinking tonight, Wally? Because I like it.

Sober as a judge.

Im much more bubbly when drunk.

I have no issues with opinions unless they are delivered rectally with no back up.

 

[smithformeragent]

Sounds like Button, MgGuire and McKenzie are really talking out of their ***** at this point.

 

[Pia8988]

Arizona will have 12.5 million in dead space next year. Great for the tank

 

[BruinsPortugal]

Meh arizona stealing the show.

 

[Alan Ryan]

Agreed.

Sorry to be negative, had a personal bias for Fabbro and having them so closely ranked (along with Chychrun) made it an easy decision to be excited for Fabbro over the other two.

Again, not negative the slightest over McAvoy being a Bruin, more disappointed that the real opportunity to see Dante as a Bruin passed. Feel the same about Johansen in the 2nd round.

Here's what Kirk had to say on McAvoy:


The first thing about McAvoy is that he pushes the pace. He’s got an explosive first few steps and he loves to grab the puck and just go. For any fan that has seen the Bruins hemmed into their own zone, going with the D-to-D passes in the face of ferocious forechecking pressure, this is welcome news. If you’ve seen Torey Krug skate the puck out of trouble on the left side, McAvoy represents someone who can do the same thing on the right.

The best thing about McAvoy can get him into trouble at times, as he likes to pinch and gamble. I’ve seen him skate the puck all the way to the back of the net, fail to pick up the back side pressure and turn the puck over before his forward can rotate back to cover, leading to an odd-man rush the other way. A lot of that is just coaching and experience, but his decision-making will need to improve at the next level.

McAvoy only had three goals last season, but he’s got a good shot- he can get it off in stride or generate power from a stationary position and by the end of the year he was shooting with more authority. Watch for him to jump to double digits next season with the added role and confidence as a sophomore.

[Boston Bruno]

Does Arizona have to pay a retired player? Dats counts against zonas cap. Why do they care? They get better inventory of players to find the next star. Dats money will be gone before it's a problem.

I think Arizona did well. Got good value for nothing

 

[Fossy21]

**** Detroit

If they can convince Datsyuk to stay and Pronger to come out of retirement this team will be ridiculous. #slowclap


Awesome

 

[MAINE-IAC]

Thanks for clarification.

Nobody wanted him at the trade deadline and yet he is holding out for max money and Sweeney probably pays him.

 

[ranold26]

I think the other way around here. A young GM took on a cap hit that he won't have to pay a penny on. His team can actually make money this year and stock the prospect cupboard.

Pretty much this. They'll meet the floor and continue to develop.
That team is going to be beastly.

 

[BB88]

Move up for Fabbro, McAvoy+Fabbro 1st round would be alright.

 

[Gee Wally]

chychryn if smart will use this day to inspire him for his career

And this will be the last time the words Chychryn and smart will be used together at HF.

 

[DKH]

Advice to all the posters - think everything will go your way

Last draft party won the big prize a team autographed jersey

This year the team autographed golf bag - actually the girls did but it will be holding my clubs on sunny days

 

[Gee Wally]

Move up for Fabbro, McAvoy+Fabbro 1st round would be alright.

This!

This!

 

[Judge Smails]

Sounds like Button, MgGuire and McKenzie are really talking out of their ***** at this point.

They sound a bit like they went to the Charlie Jacobs School for Public Speaking.

 

[MAINE-IAC]

Looks like a key a tough kid . Wouldn't have minded seeing Boston move up there

 

[smithformeragent]

The sound a bit like they went to the Charlie Jacobs School for Public Speaking.

"Ch-Ch-Charlie McAvoy"

 

[Burt Reynolds]

This!

This!

It seems to easy at this point. I just pray the sweenius is using his brain.
