2023 NHL Entry Draft


Recommended Posts

I hope we pick Tom Willander, I think the SHL will be really good for him next season to challenge him at a higher level. I could see a good pairing with Him and E Pettersson on the back end being physical, defensively responsible, and moving the puck well.

Wow, Colby Barlow barely makes it in the 1st round?  Willander and Danielson in the Top 10? Very interesting, Draft Day is going to be so unpredictable. 

I predicted Barlow would drop.  Some think he will go higher than Wood.  If anyone watched the U18's then they would know that isn't going to happen.  Willander IMO will go higher than ASP.  Benson is also going to drop IMO.  At 11 I am hoping for Reinbacher, Wood, Willander or Danielson.  Danielson is massively underrated IMO.  I think he can become a two-way 2C in the NHL...

Willander is committed to Boston University next season

he got a sniff of SHL Games this year but he’s committed to going to the NCAA next year. It’s an interesting path. I take it he wants to get use to the North American ice/style/angles/timing ASAP. And I love it.

 

i think Willander if drafted would be Quinn Hughes future partner.

 

but I wish he could have actually played games in the SHL it’s too bad the NCAA commitment kept him from that. I can’t think of any swedish dmen who have gone this route off the top of my head?

He is a great little player in JR.  
He is just too damn small.  
I would be so bummed if we pick him.  
 

Did you mean to quote the benson one seriously or the bedard one jokingly? Since Reinbacher and Simashev are big boys
