2020 NHL Draft

Why would Nashville draft Askarov?  I thought they were okay in net for the next little bit.

I don't think you draft a goalie for need. Odds are it's 3-4 years before he's in the league at all.

Also Rinne is bound to retire soon (and declining) and Saros is decent but not exactly on a "goalie of the future" level.

I suppose.  I figured he wouldn't make it past the Hurricanes anyways.

 

[Guilt Trip]

But I have total confidence in the Leafs' goaltending.

Total confidence.

Let's see what Ian Scott turns into. Maybe the Leafs will grab Daws later on.

Does Carolina take Jarvis?

Would you? I probably would.

Wake up Dubas!

 

[Bender]

Kinda interesting no one really went off the board yet.

 

[Guilt Trip]

Wake up Dubas!

He's sleeping?

 

[Frank E]

Super exciting all the trades here tonight.

Really glad I tuned in.

Dubas will lol.

The order wasn't set but I feel like it was pretty clear who the top-12 guys in the draft were. This is kinda where things get interesting.

 

[Frank E]

F.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Of course. Ok trade down.

 

[L K]

Dubas is clearly trading down.  Have to maximize our 5th round picks

 

[Guilt Trip]

Of course. Ok trade down.

Won't surprise me.

 

[herman]

That?s a bit of a leap

 

[Kin]

Disappointing if only because some people's heads would have exploded if the Leafs drafted Jarvis.

 

[Bender]

Damnit

 

[Joe S.]

It?s amazing how these kids being drafted have webcams from 1998.
