Going into night 1 of the #NHLDraft without a 1st round pick… So worth it.

Is this the GDT for the draft? I guess there won't be a ton of interest here in the Pens section...

For the Pens, but I assume it would be used for all. I personally don't give a **** about who other teams pick.

I'm guessing not that many here do...I'll godric chat in here because I don't want to make another thread...

Honestly, my draft knowledge this year is about as low as it's been in some time...

CBJ wants to move down by coupling one of their many turrible contracts with the 3rd pick

One of the mods can change the title and move it to the other hockey section. I'm good with whatever.

As I said before, I like that we've got two picks so close together in the 2nd round.

Maybe Columbus is going to use Sonny Milano to move a contract...Milano and Bobrovsky to Calgary...?

Is it just round 1 tonight?

Kopitar isn't actually a pretty good comparison to Matthews. And I hate player comparisons.

Yep. 2+ starts tomorrow at 10am.

They have a different kind of quickness, but everything else is bang on.

Matthews' mom is a first round pick too. Amirite??

Laine is a frigging weirdo

Postby **meecrofilm** » Fri Jun 24, 2016 7:38 pm

So that has to be a minor surprise.

The word on the street is the Columbus did not like Puljujarvi. They tried to move out of that spot and couldn't get the value they wanted...
