GDT: NHL - non Bruins- Draft Picks and Deals discussion.

[BlackFrancis]

Grundinin is still out there?

Not sure about trading off your pick when that guy was available.

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

Dude. We’re in different universes right now. Move on.

you're the one who doesn't know the rule..... whether you like how they do this.....

You got me!

Mats Lindgren fell pretty far, I had him being picked around the Bruins second round pick

 

[Lobster57]

Columbus just drafted a defensive end

 

[Gee Wally]

Duncan Keith retiring.
Oilers off the hook.
Hawks will pay the penalty over next two years.

 

[Lobster57]

Duncan Keith retiring, comes off Edmonton's cap but the Hawks take a hit

Getting rid of Kassian and Keith should really help them. I would probably move on from Klefbom too.

Mike Smith is also going on LTIR for the remainder of his contract, aka retiring. They may be a good trade partner. Reilly/Gryz + Smith? That'd be some serious cap unloaded

Reilly is not worth a player. Gryz for Mcleod or Jesse P, I would not do, but not outside the realm of possibility.

Happy to see a St Mark's player taken by San Jose, as I am a 1985 graduate.

I don't think Edmonton moved a pile of picks to Arizona yesterday to rid themselves of Kassian's cap hit just to obtain Boston's bad contracts.

Think you're undervaluing Gryz slightly here.
Also Craig Smith is a complimentary winger who can pot 15-20 goals. I'm only moving him if Lysell makes the team.

Your probably right. Edmonton's pro scouting sucks so maybe they like Gryz and Smith.

Bruce Boudreau, wrestlers. Vruce “ I want to be the new Lou Albano”.

lolol

Pretty sure Gryz has positive value all over the league my friend.......just because you don't like him doesn't mean others dont.

 

[BlackFrancis]

The Canes are the only team that scouted the MHL after Russia's military adventures began.

That's my story, at least.

In all seriousness I do agree Gryz has positive value. I don't like how he was used last year (as Carlo's partner a lot of the time).

Miller/McQuaid is a perfect stylistic partner for Gryz on a 3rd pair, 2nd PP time........never should see the ice on the PK

I sort of disagree. Grzlcyk's biggest impact is puck retrieval and breakouts. What the hell is some immobile defense-only guy bringing to that pairing? They'd be great if you get stuck and need someone to start clobbering in front of the net or pinning someone on the boards, but that kind of partner seems like they'd hamper Gryzlcyk's strengths more than cover his weaknesses.

Oft injured transition defenseman. He isnt an offensive guy or defensive guy, transition is his only attribute. He doesnt have much trade value, 3rd rounder or later or sweetener in deal. He'll never be the center piece in one.

I like him with Clifton and McAvoy. I actually think Gryz is better off with a guy with more skill to read and react off of. One of his strengths in along the offensive blueline working in tandem with his partner. Giving him guys with no offensive ability I don't think suits him even though traditionally you would think the smaller guy/big strong guy tandem would be the way to go.

As the center piece of a package to get a better player? I don't see that happening either.

 

[JCRO]

Im glad they brought up SJ and Grier literally joining right before the draft. I was thinking it must be weird having the team make picks without any influence from the GM (or little influence) prior to.

 

[Dr Hook]

Brennan Ali, Avon Old Farms! Where is Pierre when you need him?

 

[Riverfront]

seattle kraken have had a very impressive draft.
very good picks throughout.
