With the 14th overall selection in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft, the Pittsburgh Penguins select…

I just want someone fun

 

[The Old Master]

Benson over Moore, I can see a case for.
Yager over Moore, no way. Yager gives me Angelo Esposito vibes.

yager has more up-side, rh and has a great shot he could start on our pp.

Probably unlikely but man would it be awesome to have our own Mercer or Barzal one of these days

Best I can do is Jeff Carter and 25 mins of Bryan Rust.

Barzal would’ve been a monster 3rd C penalty killer.

Happy NHL Draft day folks!

Sully sees this list and is working on Dubas to find the next Zach Boychuk.

Mr. Snake bitten. I’m still waiting for those flood gates to open. In Shero we trust.

Happy NHL Draft day folks!

Draft Day yes. I'll get back to you on the Happy part....

If Benson or Perreault isnt there (or by some miracle someone else falls a lot) I think I'd be fine moving down at least to 22 or something like that if it measb we get an extra pick. We need a LOT of prospects. And I think there's a bunch of players thats on the same tier after the top 10-12 picks (if goes as planned)

 

[Lust for Life]

Draft is in the middle of the night for me. Try not to kill each other whatever happens.

 

[Ogelthorpe]

Well, something is going to happen today.

@Pens x You found a nickname for Dubas yet?

 

[Jacob]

Had a dream we took Barlow. Was slated to be in the later part of the top-10, couple teams were becoming hesitant on his absolute best-case upside, couple others had guys they really liked that were ranked lower by most. Dubas was smoking a calabash pipe on the draft floor.

I won't form an opinion until I'm told who to shit on and how to shit on them.

Don't want to be too unrealistic and naive, after all.

Shit on everyone all the time

Easiest way to cover all the bases

Hopefully this comes true- and not just the drafting Barlow part.

I think that, looking back in 5 years, Barlow is going to be a consensus top 5 guy in redrafts. He seems like a pretty sure bet to make it as a complimentary power winger, and pretty soon, too.

Dufus

That or Doobler will do.

 

[Dominance]

Ideally, Dubas has some trade offers more or less worked out but is waiting to pull the trigger to see who falls our way. Barlow, for example, is easy to see making the team in only a year and should be snapped up if he falls. But if we’re looking at a range of players who all are 2-3 years out, then I hope he calls up someone like Chicago and works a 14 + Granlund for 19 + 2nd trade.

If this happens, you need to change from the iconic Gene-stache to the Barlow-stache. It's written in the stars.

 

[PensandCaps]

I'm a big fan of Yager if he's still around at 14. Good defense and great shot and great at carrying the puck. McCann esqe.

 

[WickedWrister]

I haven't been following the draft as closely as some, but what I've been able to gather about this class is that there's a clear top 5 or 6, then like 15-20 guys that nobody can reach a consensus on. To me, that screams trade back. Not like 20 spots, just a handful to accrue some of that draft capital we've spent over the years. Restock the cupboard. Then take BPA regardless of position.

I like the short kings, so thats maybe Andrew Cristall range. Doesn't Dubas have a stereotype for shawtys? Undersized skill guys?

 

[Jag68Sid87]

Hoping we take one of Benson, Perreault, Yager, Moore if we stick at 14, but there are others that would be solid picks too. One of the three RDs, for instance.

Let's go!

Benson and Perreault are my best case scenario. If they're not there I'm all for trading down.

Do not want Moore.
