GDT: NHL Draft Day 1 GDT

[3ladesof5teel]

He has a good shot but falling in the rankings by most of the scouting sources is concerning.

I've seen him ranked much higher at many (15-25 range) so he was picked a little lower than some expected.

This is all a crapshoot anyway. I guess at least we have another prospect

 

[OnMyOwn]

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.

I kinda hope we keep him and trade any of the other prospects going forward. Need a top guy to develop and be ready for the dark days.

 

[GregR]

You only get drafted once (usually) and ESPN decides to shit all over the kid by not only interviewing Bedard (again) while he's picked instead of giving him the same glowing high marks everybody else has gotten but then double-down by not interviewing him like they have everyone else. EAD,

 

[The Old Master]

That was a punch to the gut.

Tell me,

click on "forms"
then click on "prospects"
then click on "brayden yager"
go ahead you can do it.

 

[The Grim Reaper]

Love the pick. How ready is he? 1 year out or 2?

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

I personally couldn't give a shit about the cliche questions the panel would ask and the cliche answers Yager was gonna give.

 

[HuskerTornado]

Oh shit, are they really just not going to give this kid an interview? His family has to be livid.

 

[Ryder71]

click on "forms"
then click on "prospects"
then click on "brayden yager"
go ahead you can do it.

Or, you know, you can just tell me if the reports were generally positive or negative.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Draper still has a punch-able face....

You still waiting, dude?

 

[Malkinstheman]

Pretty boring draft so far. Seems like teams blew their load the last few days

 

[Ogelthorpe]

The Blackhawks have Bedard, and now Moore…. Damn that’s a great draft haul.

 

[domaug]

minimum 3 years

never take one mans word on something. there's safety in numbers.

 

[Jacob]

I love that the Wild have a type and they triple down on it.

If they got Bedard and no one else THAT would have been a great haul.

 

[Andy99]

Is Yager still going to be in juniors this season or is he going to uni?

 

[Ogelthorpe]

Oh I agree. But not only did they get the best center in n the draft, who is a fringe generational talent, but now they got 2 of the top 5 centers available in the draft imo.

 

[Ryder71]

Is Yager still going to be in juniors this season or is he going to uni?

Probably stay in juniors.

 

[Peat]

Bugger, didn't want Perreault to go to NYR

 

[Pancakes]

Good pick by the Rangers. Ya hate to see it

Collectively, Our division foes are doing quite well

We’re gonna be the punching bag in a couple years. Been a long time coming, but it’s gonna suck.

Could ESPN find a more awkward interviewer?

 

[TimmyD]

Now I would feel more comfortable trading a 1st for Hellebuyck. 2024 1st, Pickering, Granlund and another piece for Hellebuyck

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

Gary Bettman shrinks an inch every year.

 

[Sorry]

Voted for him in the poll. I love right handed players. Never understood the modern perception that playing left handed opens your body more to the game. Mario Lemieux was a righty, enough said.

Is he the Pens best prospect now?
