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

[JimEIV]

We can make zero moves and next year’s team will still look a lot different.

Can't do that...not this year. We need additions.

 

[Ripshot 43]

A big shoot first RW would really round out the top 6

This is true since Bratt can slide back to the left.

 

[MauDevils]

10 minutes into Jack Hughes highlights and I've yet to see a goal.

Compared to 20 straight minutes of Kaapo Kakko producing in a mens league no less...

 

[Kurt Cobain]

Jack Hughes could easily become one of the most marketable players the NHL. He is handsome, well spoken, extremely skilled and an American. Taking him changes more than just what happens on the ice. This is big and we better take him.

 

[Lou is God]

Don't forget Ty Smith on the way

Wow, I absolutely forgot about him.

 

[BenedictGomez]

If there's anyone I want to trade up for, its caufield.

Caufield's likely to go something like #18 to #23'ish, so that's not out of the question.

Why do you got to be that guy?

 

[Ripshot 43]

Fastest thread we will fill all year.

I love you guys

And I’m not even drinking

Help the PP too. We don’t have many high quality rightys

 

[R8Devs]

Right? Oiler fan here. Stopping by to say I'd much rather see you guys with the pick than the Hawks or Kings. Congratulations.

thanks, I would like to see McDavid and Draisaitl in the playoffs again so I'm not rooting against them either, better for the league to have those two playing in the playoffs

And I’m not even drinking

You should be... Champagne

 

[Saint Beaurivage]

I watched an hour of videos with Hughes and Kakko tonight. Hughes looks like the better player and playmaker.

He has a Dennis Savard type move that he uses quite often to shield the puck and fake defenders out. I really don't see him being heads and shoulders over Nico Hischier in all fairness. They are both #1 picks so they are both talented. You never know until they play with NHL talent.

 

[Darkauron]

Just caught up.


I CAN'T f***ING BELIEVE IT. WOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[My3Sons]

Man I hope HUGHES is amiable and personable. That is one of Nico’s best qualities and will go a long way in the inevitable media campaign.

 

[MauDevils]

Why do you got to be that guy?

Not sold on Hughes yet, but much like the Nico pick...at least we control our own destiny.

What’s the list of top RWs I’m FA?

 

[JimEIV]

We never had a 1st overall for all those years now two...New world...even more mind blowing is we'll have 3 on the team next year most likely.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Can't do that...not this year. We need additions.

Well I agree, but just pointing it out.

 

[Emperoreddy]

What’s the list of top RWs I’m FA?

Eberle? I don’t think it’s that great.
