GDT: NHL 2023 Draft (Day 2) - Kraken edition - 8 AM PT, NHL: Network

I'm envious wish I could come down for the Development Camp. Perhaps another when the Famiglia doesn't have so many commitments

I was seriously debating going to camp as well this season, but the wife and I have a trip planned to our cabin and will be out starting this Friday.

Hardly an expert on draft prospects here, but Kraken seem to be getting great value with their picks. Quite apparent that RF is a really good GM!

Seriously. Would love to roll up north for that, but like… other commitments and stuff. Boooooo!

Is this the cabin near Roosevelt?

Colville.

 

[The Marquis]

Colville.

Well I should have added “lake” to Roosevelt because nobody in Their right mind would buy a cabin in Roosevelt WA unless they were in the waste business. Always liked the Colville/Kettle Falls area. If I didn’t already have a place up north of Leavenworth, I’d be looking up in that general area.

Ha ha ha. Yes. Very close to there. This is my first trip there in the summer, so I am interested to see how busy it gets there.

If it disappoints, take a day trip to Leavenworth and you’ll feel like nobody visits Colville, and that’s a good thing. My cabin is just north of the “area people feel is close enough to Leavenworth to care”. Thank goodness. nIMBY!!! My wife loves the tourist of Leavenworth, but I hate it. And grew up in the area so I’m like “embittered local”. Glad the place is far enough away for me but close enough for her.

I know what you mean by that. Leavenworth is so commercialized that it has lost that charm it had.

For a string of about 5 years I used to participate in the huge German car cruise to Leavenworth that you probably hated every June.

Oh, yes, the famed Leavenworth Drive. Honestly, I didn't hate any of it back when I was growing up there, but I certainly don't love it now when I visit. Honestly, these days Leavenworth Drive doesn't even make a dent in the weekend visitor numbers. It's always a madhouse there, but the summer isn't nearly as bad as Oktoberfest was (thank you Oktoberfest people for moving it to Wenatchee) or even a fraction of the Christmas season is.

There's a roller coaster on the hill west of town now. That's weird.

Super weird. Why leave natural charm in place when you can give it the Vegas treatment I guess. :/

Something in the city government there are radically changed VERY recently, and definitely not for the better.
