GDT: NHL Draft Day 1 GDT

[Dominance]

Yager has plus plus skating and does not play small. Got those intangibles Sully will love if he’s still around.

After frying the WHL last year, the only criticism was uncertainty about his playmaking and how well he used his teammates. This year, he showed he had those attributes in spades, but his goal scoring took a step back.

You don’t just lose his elite snapper. Yager is a guy to get excited about.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

I kinda still wish they'd have done other things with this pick but hey I like that Yager is a skilled forward and not some left field reach at this spot.

*stares at Pouliot*

 

[Sorry]

Cool. Glad we got to hear Bedard talk instead of our draftee. F**K ESPN.

 

[Pancakes]

Look we've all been waiting for years for Yager to come back.

Kyle got it done.

A+

 

[66-30-33]

So no Yager interview? they interviewed Badard instead.

 

[pistolpete11]

Was just here in case they traded the pick.

 

[EVGENIMERLIN]

Yager was my HF poll pick so I’m happy

 

[The Old Master]

Just go to the hf prospects page and read the last 3-4 pages on him from guys that saw him play.

 

[edog37]

That was annoying as hell

 

[K Fleur]

Great skill set, even better name, but he’s not from Pittsburgh so this pick gets a C+

 

[Clare2904]

Not sure what feeds people are watching but SN said he changed his game up a little to become more of a playmaker instead of just goals. Really bumped up his assists whilst still scoring

[The Old Master]

this is our homerun swing.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

Ok he made the pick, now get a goalie.

 

[TimmyD]

So 2024 1st + for Hellebuyck now

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Very not stoked for Michkov to be in Philly, btw. Praying Torts is still there to ruin that kid when he makes the jump to NA.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

ESPN was so excited about the Pens' pick that they were left speechless about it.

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

Super curious to see where Ritchie goes. Like him a lot. Would be shocked if it’s not soon.

 

[OnMyOwn]

I hope our guy gets his interview. This is lame.

 

[HuskerTornado]

Cool. Glad we got to hear Bedard talk instead of our draftee. F**K ESPN.

Yeah, total bullshit.

 

[Ugene Magic]

I hope our guy gets his interview. This is lame.

He's got to wait his turn...

 

[HuskerTornado]

Wood was probably hoping the Pens would take him so he could play with G.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

It's gonna be fun to actually watch and follow a prospect's development for once. Somebody who isn't the "NHL size, plays the right way" safe pick and instead somebody who has the potential to be a difference maker down the road.

 

[Ryder71]

That was a punch to the gut.

Just go to the hf prospects page and read the last 3-4 pages on him from guys that saw him play.

Tell me,

 

[HuskerTornado]

I hope our guy gets his interview. This is lame.

With ESPN, who knows. They ruined the NFL draft with this type of crap years ago, constantly talking about the same couple of guys for 3 days in a row and ignoring tons of picks.
