So 2023 NHL draft is over

from a #LGRW POV i'm not sold 100% on either top 2 picks more so with Danielson, i think Benson would have been a better choice. Sandin Pellika was the top D still there so i can go with the Swedes pick more

These 2 choices Imo put more pressure on Yzerman to land a top 2 C by way of a trade + sealing the DeBrincat deal given Detroit's piss poor luck in getting top end franchise players from successive draft lotteries other teams walk away with guys to run their top lines offensively

The lower round picks bar Trey Augustine & Noah Dower-Nilsson were odd where the focus on big defensive D seemed to be the norm typified by Brady Cleveland

I still get the Yzerplan but really it's a kinda meh draft given the lack of scoring the team has, maybe Yzerman has decided he can't get that talent via the draft

Lemmy wide link - which hopefully works

Back in 2016, two trades happened that seemed like seismic events in the NHL that... never really impacted any of the teams involved in the way that they thought it would:

• PK Subban is traded from the Montreal Canadiens to the Nashville Predators in exchange for Shea Weber
• Taylor Hall is traded from the Edmonton Oilers to the New Jersey Devils in exchange for Adam Larsson

At the time, these felt like franchise defining moves that would have immediate impacts, but ultimately didn't really move the needle in any significant way.

• Taylor Hall wont a Hart and helped the Devils get to the playoffs for the first time in six years, but then missed the playoffs for the next two and was traded to Arizona in 2019 for Kevin Bahl, Nick Merkley, Nate Schnarr, and the pick that NJ used to get Dawson Mercer
• Adam Larsson did help the Oilers on defense, but ultimately never got farther than the 2nd round with Edmonton. He was taken by Seattle in the 2021 expansion draft
• PK helped Nashville make the Stanley Cup finals his first year with his new club, but fell short of winning it all, losing to the Penguins in six games. He was traded to New Jersey in 2019 to free up cap space.
• Shea Weber's time in Montreal was plagued by injury. He did help the Habs to their first Stanley Cup Finals appearance in nearly 30 years with their Cinderella run in the 2021 playoffs, but lost the series in five games. Weber has been LITRetired ever since that run.

How did you guys feel about those trades when they happened? Ambivalence? Excitement?

Well I'm a bit late on the draw on this, but link above is a runnable python script for the draft that autoupdates once per minute. Will need to install plemmy extension (pip install plemmy). It will prompt for your server, community name, username/password then get to work posting a post titled "2023 draft" and updating it once per minute.

**It does not know how to tell when the draft is over, you will need to stop it manually (ctr+c on linux/unix). **

Been working on this as the draft was happening, I'll be hoping to get that figured out soon.

can see here to see it in action

Picks: 2023 1st (31st OA originally from Fla), 2023 2nd (37th OA)

Prospect: defenseman Gianni Fairbrother

NHL schedules for 2023 (even though it says 2022...)

I've started work on a lemmybot that can be run using python to automatically run a score-tracker in a post! There's still some work to go to make it more user friendly but getting the link out early. There will be a few updates to the script to cache some information and to make it easier to pick the team without needing the teamID from the nhl api prior to the preseason.

If anyone who codes wants to help I'll also gladly merge pull requests as they come in.

Winners:

Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy: Kris Letang, Pittsburgh Penguins
Calder Memorial Trophy: Matty Beniers, Seattle Kraken
E.J. McGuire Award of Excellence: Connor Bedard, Regina Pats (WHL)
Frank J. Selke Trophy: Patrice Bergeron, Boston Bruins
Hart Memorial Trophy: Connor McDavid, Edmonton Oilers
Jack Adams Award: Jim Montgomery, Boston Bruins
James Norris Memorial Trophy: Erik Karlsson, San Jose Sharks
King Clancy Memorial Trophy: Mikael Backlund, Calgary Flames
Lady Byng Memorial Trophy: Anze Kopitar, Los Angeles Kings
Mark Messier NHL Leadership Award: Steven Stamkos, Tampa Bay Lightning
Ted Lindsay Award: Connor McDavid, Edmonton Oilers
Vezina Trophy: Linus Ullmark, Boston Bruins
Willie O'Ree Community Hero Award (U.S.): Jason McCrimmon, Detroit Ice Dreams Youth Hockey Association

Full trade, per sources:
To #NHLBruins: Rights to RFAs Ian Mitchell and Alec Regula.
To #Blackhawks: Taylor Hall, rights to UFA Nick Foligno.

No salary retained by Boston, this represents a pure salary dump to clear $6 million off Bruins' books.

By the CBA, DeAngelo cannot return to Carolina within a year of his trade from the Canes, especially when salary is retained. The two teams are set to discuss with the league in Nashville, who could either sign off on the trade or force both teams to wait until July 9th.

It's unclear whether the trade will still go through if the Flyers and the Canes are forced to wait.

4x2.9 Full no movement clause for the first 3 years

Deangelo is still a shitbag
