Chernyshov would be a great pick to the Rangers. Give them a needed third-line boost!

9:36

Ah, well we've returned to our streak!

Ron Duguay

9:36

Great call!

The Donny V

9:36

Good call here

Gbear

9:36

Emery it is!

Nice Gbear

Drury Wants the Jewelry

9:37

Like the Ranger pick?

Gabriel Foley

9:37

Consider it a point for the chat! I love this, he projects as a fantastic defensive defenseman, and his fantastic athletic profile is well-discussed. But after two years of watching Emery... I think there's offensive upside there. He controls pace through the Neutral Zone so well, he could be a great puck mover in addition to a shut down defender!

Ron Duguay

9:37

So is he 2-3 years away?

Gabriel Foley

9:38

I would say three - but I'd want one of them to be in the AHL. Though he could totally be another Braden Schneider!

The Donny V

9:38

3-4 in my opinion

WadeM

9:38

Hey Gabe, who had the best 1st round and why is it Montreal?

Gabriel Foley

9:38

Geez, yeah Kent Hughes won the day. You won't see me complain about that, though - that's an NTDP parent!

WadeM

9:39

So close to Eiserman but almost feels like a relief to not have to take that risk

Gabriel Foley

9:39

Yep, clearly NHL teams were okay avoiding it! He lands with a good organizational fit, though

9:40

Funny, I think Emery could model his offense after K'Andre Miller to good effect. He'll get a chance to be his prodige on Broadway

Prodige on Broadway, another album name

Kyle Davidson. 3 drafts and 8 first round draft picks. Well Played Sir! Cool to be a Hawks fan again.

WadeM

9:40

You really think so? I think he’s gonna clash big time with Lou/Roy in terms of play style and stubbornness

Gabriel Foley

9:41

Well, we'll see. But the Islanders danced a similar dance with Wahlstrom, and could be set to learn from their mistakes.

9:42

Wow Ben Danford to Toronto!

WadeM

9:42

Saw someone say that MTL stuffed a jersey under their table after Eiserman went to NYI. What could’ve been…

Gabriel Foley

9:42

Awe boo...

9:43

Danford a rumored candidate to go in the first round will now serve as - what I suspect was - Toronto's backup to Emery. They'll get a similar profile in Danford, who sacrifices size for pace but nonethless knows how to use strong positioning and good stick-checking to shut down plan and regain possession!

WadeM

9:43

Not the best fit but woah that could’ve been a fun top 6.

Zakis

9:45

Still excited the Wild got Buium. Rest of draft is just gravy

Gabriel Foley

9:46

No kidding! Buium for Luchanko and a third will be an exciting pick to look back on!

Flyers

9:46

Who should we pick

Gabriel Foley

9:46

Go with a Russian!

UncleMike1526

9:46

Is there another chat tomorrow?

Gabriel Foley

9:46

Another chat tomorrow will depend on the pace of the day. So keep an eye out! Otherwise, you can connect with me on Twitter/X @NHLFoley.

UncleMike1526

9:47

Hey it's been great guys! Thanks for doing this. Gabe and Josh.

Gabriel Foley

9:47

Thank you for tagging along! It's been fun!

Flyers

9:47

Who will be the first team to pick a goalie and who will the goalie be

Gabriel Foley

9:47

Hmm, give me Ottawa taking Carter George!

UncleMike1526

9:47

I won't get on Twitter if you shot me. LOL

Gabriel Foley

9:47

I absolutely can't blame you there. Probably safer that way

Gbear

9:49

I'm locked out of my Twitter account for saying nothing even controversial. Screw them.

9:50

Bizzare Philly move

Gabriel Foley

9:51

Yes another trade! Edmonton closing us out now.
