Colorado has traded Pick 24 to Utah for Pick 38, 71, and a 2025 2nd Rd Pick (NYR)

8:53

I'm smelling an Emery pick. Bill Armstrong loves his musclemen and Utah was rumored to be leaning defender before taking Tij!

The Donny V

8:53

Basically 2 seconds and a 3rd if I'm not mistaken?

Gabriel Foley

8:53

Correct!

Looks like Utah trying to make a splash and get the (lack of) name out there

Gabriel Foley

8:54

Ha, they needed the logo on screen one more time!

Utah has a lot of bad to wash away

Gabriel Foley

8:56

Ah yup, Boston was high on Beaudoin! As was Ottawa, so rumors told.

8:57

A smart trade for Utah, and GMBA takes the other combine standout! Beaudoin is such a responsible forward - great positioning, fundamentals, supports the breakout well, and knows how to shut down the other team's movement! After an upside swing with Tij, Utah goes floor here!

Gbear

8:57

Beaudoin had the best bench press at the combine, so of course Armstrong took him!

The Donny V

8:57

Perfect fit in a system like tourigney's. I dig it

Gabriel Foley

8:58

You have to wonder how Boston feels! Are they getting a guy worth trading Ullmark away here?

8:59

This has been such a whirlwind of a draft - thanks again to all y'all keeping me company! I think there could be some random names here in the late picks. My favorite? Sam O'Reilly.

Gbear

9:00

I'd go Greentree here if I'm Boston.

Gabriel Foley

9:00

Oh man, forgot he was on the board! That's a plenty happy contingency

Boz

9:00

Wallenius

Gabriel Foley

9:01

I'm here for the Wallenius love! Who are some other favorite Day Two names???

The Donny V

9:01

Nikita Artamonov could sneak in late in the first round I think

Gabriel Foley

9:02

I'll give ya some of mine -

Hagen Burrows, Teddy Stiga, Justin Poirier, Eric Burger, Aatos Koivu, and I imagine very late pick Kam Hendrickson

Gbear

9:02

Listening to the SiriusXM coverage, Surin, in his broken English said he's a forward so he scores points! Love it!

UncleMike1526

9:02

Is Cole Hutson that much worse than his brother to be ranked 2nd round?

Gabriel Foley

9:03

I'll say, I'm not nearly as excited about Cole, after being the first scout to rank Lane in the First Round (way back in October 2021!). I think he faces a tougher physical battle!

Zakis

9:03

You must scout MN HS hockey to pick Burrows and Hendrickson lol

Gabriel Foley

9:04

Hahah, call me a fan!

Gbear

9:04

Bruins go High School. :0

UncleMike1526

9:04

Yeah big HS though

Gabriel Foley

9:04

Wow Canadian High School too! Letourneau is the highest Canadian 18U player ever drafted, if I remember correctly. A big acheivement!

Gbear

9:05

Giant big!

Gabriel Foley

9:05

Yeah, GIANT is a good word. He's a smooth player with a heavy shot, who dominated the slot in the youth hockey footage I saw of him. But that's easy to do when you're that tall!

Boz

9:05

hopeFully falls to 2nd round for Wings. Keep it consistent with 2 hyphenated last names

Gbear

9:05

Stiga will be a nice 2nd round pick.....hopefully for the Preds!

Zakis

9:05

Gridin for me

Gabriel Foley

9:06

Yes - all the USHL guys! Mustard and Bednarik too!

UncleMike1526

9:06

What's he going to be when he grows up? 6'13"?

Gabriel Foley

9:06

I hope they make skates big enough... get Shaq to sponsor em!

Or I suppose Chara would make more sense.

9:09

How are we liking this Kings redesign?? I would've loved to see some purple and gold, but man that logo still gets me excited!!

Gbear

9:09

Great value for the Kings here

Gabriel Foley

9:10

The Kings land Greentree! Call that a value pick beyond 25. He'll need to continue improving his drive into the zone, but still thrives at working the puck through the neutral zone. Great instincts, great perimeter player.
