GDT: NHL Draft Lotto: Did we lose for Hughes? YES WE DID!

[NJDevs26]

When the Kings went #5 everything changed.

I had a delayed reaction...I wasn't sure if that bumped us up or not but the commentators said it did so I was like holy crap.

Nightmare scenario for the Flyers makes me happy as well

This pleases me greatly.

F that Franchise and their dirty-ass players

Congratulate with #1st overall top draft pick in 2019! from a Rangers fan!

Enjoy Kakko.


No offense but I really wish you drafted 3rd.

 

[Nico Hischier]

What if we could unload zajac and schnieder and bring in Panarin and bobvrovsky

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Devils say NO. PLEASE. NO.

I wonder. I'd very seriously consider pulling the trigger on that deal.

 

[Ripshot 43]

Someone give me the Hughes comparables. What is his expected peak?

Best I can think of is Patrick Kane but plays center. This kid is flat out dynamic with the puck.

I actually don't want Bob. He's going to want too long of a term

 

[Patrik26]

For all the non-STH out there who've been contacted by the Devils in the past, guess what .... you're about to be bombarded with sales calls.

 

[My3Sons]

We are in the best timeline...

He saw 1,457,316 futures and only one where NJ won the draft lottery.

This pick is totally justified after what we had to endure the last 6 months lol. We were literally Binghamton Devils fans this past season. Things look a lot better after today, that’s for damn sure. 2022 is when I think we really start to hit our stride if everything projects as it should.

Absolutely need several defensive prospects to be homeruns. If not, we need to bring in that help.

This team is going to ooze character with Hughes and Hischier.

Let's call it like it is now, THREE #1 picks on the roster, there's no excuses left for Shero. This team needs to be a contender sooner rather than later.

We're pretty set up front. The hard part is going to be fixing the defense. The kind of defensemen we need don't exactly grow on trees.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Best I can think of is Patrick Kane but plays center. This kid is flat out dynamic with the puck.

I think Kane with lesser hands and more character/better skating. Kane is truly a wizard with the puck. I agree that Hughes is dynamic, but I don't think he is near Kanes level of puck handling skill.

 

[Patrik26]

I had a delayed reaction...I wasn't sure if that bumped us up or not but the commentators said it did so I was like holy crap.

I was always under the impression that if a team is next on the board but is bypassed by the team above immediately above them, it's an auotmatic move into the top 3. When it got to the Devils, I was pleading with Daley to show a Kings card.

Ty Smith?

 

[Ripshot 43]

Just hit me... we are going to have a #1 pick American born star playing for is.

No offense to anyone else in the world but this is just so cool to me.

Yes, absolutely. This team was one of the worst ever, with all the injuries mixed in. It shouldn't have been, but were, with the injuries and really awful goaltending for 50% of the season, this is some sort of justice.

Somewhere in Canada, Don Cherry started Raging all of a sudden...

 

[MadDevil]

At this rate, we're going to be the ones to get the draft lottery changed again.

 

[MadDevil]

Ty Smith?

He's part of the solution, but we still need some more help back there.

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

Random but who is #13 in that video?

 

[Azathoth]

I’m still giddy.

 

[Brooklyndevil]

Taylor Hall does it again. We’re pretty set down the middle for the next decade. Just hope the kid can make the team. He even looks smaller than Nico when we drafted him. Good news for the organization.

 

[BenedictGomez]

For all the non-STH out there who've been contacted by the Devils in the past, guess what .... you're about to be bombarded with sales calls.

Oh dear god, you're right.

And it's even worse for me as a former STH (I get at least 2 calls per week).

 

[R8Devs]

edmonton gave us taylor hall. edmonton is the reason draft lotteries changed which in turn helped the Devils win two #1 picks. i don't think we should ever give them shit again.

 

[Nico Hischier]

Ya this pick just sped up the rebuild. Need to surround with solid players on good contracts. Address goalie situation this offseason. Draft heavy in defense with our other picks and boom/bust forwards late
