2025 NHL Draft GDT

[seattleblue]

McQueen is the first one outside of my top 16. Leery of the injury.

We need two more outside of my top 16 and then at least they could have taken the guy I wanted ...

Pens take Kindel, nice, that is two! three! I forgot Mrtka I have at 21

A trade! Pens trade 12 for Philly for 22 + 31, there goes that Hofer idea unless Pittsburgh is trading that to us and sending Jarry to Edmonton for Nurse

My remaining list:

9. Victor Eklund, RW
10. Carter Bear, LW
11. Justin Carbonneau, RW
12. Kashawn Aitcheson, LD
13. Jackson Smith, LD
14. Cole Reschny, C
15. Henry Brzustevich, RD
16. Logan Hensler, RD

Our first off the board pick! But Kindel’s hockey sense is way up there. 5’10.25” RW.

Like him a lot…..but seems early. Whatever. If they like him, take him.

Agree. I was surprised to hear his name called, but I can see why.

Bodes well for your accurate coveting of Reschny but bad news for us getting him

I think the new format is an improvement - definitely needs some tweaks though. The zoom call with the execs is dumb, and they should speed up the pick selection.

I think you might be alone with this opinion.

Probably, but no biggie. I always thought it was kind of ridiculous that a team could be trying to make a trade and another team 2 feet away from you could overhear and try to sabotage it. And then watching 20 front office execs lumber up on stage and try to organize themselves for a group picture like its a family picnic - while an 18 year old who could give 2 lumps who they are shakes all of their hands. Just looks like a scene out of Mayberry. Glad to see the NHL try to bring the event into the current century. They should really get a professional MC instead of Bettman though.

But to each their own.

My God, the run on centers is crazy!

[82birds]

do these kids all look tall or is Gary Bettman really short?
