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

[Fistfullofbeer]

The Kraken traded the 52nd pick?

Negative. We picked Molgaard.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Negative. We picked Molgaard.

Oh yeah and we took the Kitchener kid with the name I can't pronounce with the 50th and my guy Drago at 57 he'll be fun to watch in the WHL in the next couple of years with Tri City Americans

I'm liking what Seattle Kraken have done so far some real good potential and skill

 

[RainyCityHockey]

So do we take a goalie in this draft?
And if so, which round will it be?

Not sure who's left to take in goal..the Russian Zavagrin.Ratzlaf,Blomquist,Musser

 

[Sad People]

Just a suggestion but with the prospect thread it would be rad if the position of the player was in the thread title. Take it or leave it but i think it would help out a little bit.

Hopefully Milic in Rounds 5-7 or even get him as a UDFA.

Heidt keeps dropping. Maybe at 84?

Heidt was taken earlier I believe

I have added it. Hope that helps.

He was taken with the last pick of the 2nd round.


BTW: Damn. Would've been nice if Koehn Ziemmer would've fallen to us at #84.

 

[kihei]

Looks like a very good haul.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

No problem Bro

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Maybe its just me but I love draft week ... even more than playoff games. LOL. Such a fun week because there is no "losing or winning" in my mind. So nice to see kids happy being picked.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Caden Price at #84

 

[Dominance]

Avid CHL and particularly WHL fan dropping in to say it’s absolutely bonkers that you’ve picked up Nelson, Dragicevic, and Price outside of the first round. That’s your long-term defensive core right there. Dragicevic has 1D potential and Price truly does it all.

 

[RainyCityHockey]

Caden Price at #84

Could you just delete my Thread on him or merge both?

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Caden Price at #84

Another Dman this time LD-man...Good job he was rated a 2-3rd rounder

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Done

Francis & Co. caught a lot of flak for the expansion draft but my god have they done a terrific job in the regular drafts since. Truly building something good while the team in place is already overachieving.

 

[RainyCityHockey]

So far the Kraken are also drafting a bit for size in this draft.

Only Fisker-Moelgaard and Price are 6'0 and the rest is taller than that.

Kraken definitely need a bit more size...A thumper in the backend would be great,perhaps later they take a shot at one

 

[RainyCityHockey]

Center Andrei Loshko at #116

I hope we'll take a goalie with one of the remaining picks.
Thomas Milic from the Thunderbirds is still available.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Andrei Loshko a Russian Winger playing in the QMJHL with a late 2004 B-day

Oops Loshko is BeluRussian sorry

Obviously assuming everyone hits their ceiling is a futile endeavour, but what Seattle already has in place is really amazing.
