Davidson: You're on the ice, skating along, when all of a sudden you look back- Bedard: What one? Davidson: What? Bedard: What stadium? Davidson: It doesn't make any difference what stadium, it's completely hypothetical. Bedard: But how come I'd be there? Davidson: Maybe you're fed up. Maybe you just wanted to go pro. Who knows? You look back and see Andrew MacDonald, Connor. He's skating at the blue line- Bedard: MacDonald? Who's that? Davidson: (annoyed) You know what a pylon is? Bedard: Of course. Davidson: Same thing. Bedard: I've never seen MacDonald, but I understand what you mean. Davidson: You turn and pass the puck along the boards, Connor. Bedard: Do you make up these questions, Mr. Davidson? Or do they write 'em down for you? Davidson: MacDonald stands in place, the puck sails over the blue line, and he's beating his legs trying to turn himself to backcheck, but he can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping. Bedard: (angry) What do you mean, I'm not backchecking? Davidson: I mean you're not backchecking. Why is that, Connor? (long pause) Davidson: They're just questions, Connor. In answer to your query, every GM is loving stupid. It's a test, designed to provoke a Twitter response. Shall we continue?

i’d love to know if the whore thing was just to gently caress with them and test their mental fortitude or something or if they had like a 20-80 scale where “mom was a whore” knocked em down a few points

As a reminder, the draft is today beginning at 7:00 p.m. EDT / 4:00 p.m. PDT for the first round only. Rounds 2-7 take place tomorrow during the day. Where to Watch USA: ESPN and ESPN+ Canada: Sportsnet, SNNow, TVA Sports I figure this thread can double as the draft GDT

In Wheeler's latest mock, he has Will Smith going to Columbus. He also has Michkov going to Philly. Yes, I realize mocks are all useless. Just thought this was interesting because I figured Carlsson was a lock to go to Columbus, and that Michkov was dropping to Washington.

Friedman is apparently saying the Habs are willing to move down from 5 which is true madness. Don't ever trade a top ten pick, especially this year.

They are filled to the brim with young depth guys but nobody that would be expected to be elite. They have a chance to get one here and it sounds like they are going to pass it up for players who’s ceiling is another 3rd dman or second line center.

I hope the Habs fail to find a worthwhile deal to move down and settle on taking oh say Tom Willander #5.

feels like if the Habs are serious about that then they feel the top 4 is gonna be Bedard and then some combination of Fantilli-Carlsson-Smith. so they’re selling Michkov. which, c’mon JD. do some illegal tampering poo poo so that he signs here. violating both international sanctions and the CBA would be very funny

I don't follow prospects and thus I don't know much about Michkov, but if he's a potential star that just has the known issues, then I know he won't fall to the Flyers or they'll end up picking someone else if he does. They should take the chance if he did by some miracle fall since they're not gonna be remotely good for 3-5 years at best anyway.

If it was a given that Michkov was coming over in three years teams would be stupid to pass on him after pick 3. There's not a single team on earth that wouldn't need a seasoned 21 year old star on an ELC in 2026. I just don't think it's a given he's coming over then or ever.

Who was the last high profile Russian to bypass the NHL entirely? Its been a long time. Michkov might not want to play for Arizona but he will want to play for some team Unless Putin puts his thumb on the scale then welp

Nissin Cup Nudist posted:Unless Putin puts his thumb on the scale then welp Besides that, Kaprizov took 5 years post-draft to actually come over (and yes he was a 5th round pick but he was widely acknowledged as a top prospect by the time he was 20). That's longer than many (most?) GM tenures.

My issue is the geopolitics of it all. I find it highly unlikely Russia will let the star youngster of their highest profile team join the NHL without a fight. I would expect they'll demand a hefty transfer fee at least, and who knows if it'll be permissible to wire $20m to the Russian government then. It's a bureaucratic nightmare at the moment and unless you're absolutely convinced he's a game breaking talent who will come to the NHL no matter what, I can justify teams passing on him in the top 5.

Most of these gms of poo poo teams are worried they'll get fired before Michkov comes over so that's probably half of it too.
