[GDT] The 2013 NHL Entry Draft (1pm MT TSN)

[flylock shox]

I wonder if Montreal wanted Poirier. They're off the board too it seems.

[JurassicTunga12]

Shea Theodore to ANA

[dissentowner]

THank you Anaheim.

Gabe Landeskog-Paul Stastny-Alex Tanguay
Jamie McGinn-Nathan MacKinnon-Steve Downie

Weren't a couple people using sad faces when O'Reily was pencilled into the third line a week ago, no he's on the first?

I guess the Flames argument is that we already have 2 relatively small top 6 LW prospects in the system. Shinkaruk didn't really fit.

But to me he was BPA. We can't bank on Gaudreau transitioning well to the NHL. They instead went after a guy who could be a 3rd line pest.

Another off the board pick...let's stop ripping on Feaster please.

[SebC]

Anaheim is proud to select from the Saddledome...

Well I guess Feaster drafted himself a consolidation prize after his trade with Colorado since lastwordonsports.com has Poirier's player comparison as "A more physical Alex Tanguay".

[GirlySports]

everyone going off the board (4 of the last 5 picks)

[Jbo]

So Calgary goes off the board, but MTL and ANA haven't.

Maybe the TSN list is not the end all, be all?

[Caged Great]

Anyone whining about the Poirier pick should watch that video. Awesome.

[IamNotKenKing]

So four picks later, everyone ranked mid-2nd round is an OK pick.
Thanks Bob.

nope, sorry... according to some posters, you are not qualified to make that judgement...or even worse, they'll post "maybe you should be hired by the Flames".

ridiculous.

[zoom]

anyone have a link to TSN 'best available'? Been looking for 10 min and it's driving me nuts.

This is possible, maybe Hartley and his old RDS ties knew something.

If that is the way you feel, you are more than entitled to stick to it. Just don't ever criticize any trades, any coaching or any players play from this point going forward.

Because you aren't any of those either, so apparently, you are not qualified to say anything negative about it.

Loving the banter both ways. Loving upset Flames fans on draft day. After all the crappy picks the Flames have made under multiple GM's, people still fuss.

Server will crash if Trollster goes off the board again.

Take Estrada's road and just assume they'll all suck. Crack a beer and enjoy the drama, I say.

The first clip he takes eight strides to go from his blueline to the top of the circles in on the goaltender. That is a great stride! Wow!

I don't know much about this kid and I'll just admit as such rather than trying to pretend I do

I wish there was an infinite thanks button.

[dammage79]

At least please take Zykov or Hartman @28. Pretty please.
