This set up is just awkward an uncomfortable.

Get Drafted

Hug family
Come to stage amid high fives
Have awkward convo with video feed of guys who drafted you and then do joint interview.

this making the player talk to the owner on a video screen is totally not awkward at all

I feel almost as bad for the GM and his cronies, who assuredly want no part of this

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Whats wild is this kid is a LHD and DObson is RHD and it never occurred to NYI to keep both.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Cosentino wanks between picks.

Yeah, I really don't see any reason for this set up. Having the teams there, in person wasn't broken.

 

[Habspatrol]

Gotta be Misa here. Just gotta be.

I suspect somebody in the organization is aware that it is possible to keep 2 defencemen on the same team

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Why do i feel like a pick is going to be made by Fan Man dropping from the sky?

 

[LeafOfFaith]

They should've had jar jar binks announce this pick.

 

[axlsalinger]

Great pick..

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

this is so fucking cringe.

 

[axlsalinger]

I have a crazy idea. Since they already rent a large venue with a live audience, rather than doing these awkward video exchanges, maybe next year they can put the NHL GM's and players all together in the same room so they can talk in person. They could even give each NHL team their own table in the middle, and everybody can just walk up to the podium whenever they need to!!!

Like, last year in the Sphere was amazing... and they decide to butcher it with a clearly obviously bad idea.

Did the teams complain about it? They didn't like being there in person?

 

[axlsalinger]

Pick makes sense for Chicago (over Hagen) since Bedard and Nazar are also smallish C/W types ... still think James has more pure offensive upside though.

 

[axlsalinger]

Now can the Isles talk the Mammoth into a tradeup?

 

[axlsalinger]

Narrator: they could not.

 

[Habspatrol]

Isles gotta be champing at the bit to move up here.

I think they get the Bruins pick at 7
