DRAFT DAY! Are you excited? After the boring stuff in the first six picks, it gets interesting.

Posted by crash davis 😺 (aka crash davis) Jun 28 '23, 06:01

Who will the Kraken pick at #20? Will it be the kid from Moose Jaw I know nothing about? Will it be the kid from Sweden I know even less about?

I decided to start following this sport to stretch myself a little bit mentally and I can't believe I am now this much into it.

Whatever the Kraken do, it won't have immediate impact. Ron Francis is a turtle, slow and steady wins the race. The Kraken's immediate future depends on players already in the pipeline like Shane Wright, Ryker Evans, Ty Kartye, and Joey Daccord.

it Spawn gets picked before the 5th round, David will lose his mind. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 28, 06:07
I’ll be sad if Felix Unger doesn’t go in the second round. -- nm - mafic Jun 28, 06:05 1
- I'd draft Felix Unger Sorum if I knew there was an Oscar Madison Whatever coming up in next year's draft. -- nm - crash davis 😺 Jun 28, 06:08
Past the first three, sometimes maybe six, you're drafting for two years out. -- nm - Reagen Jun 28, 06:03 3
- It’s why I don’t get the hype about the MLB draft. It’s not like the NFL or NBA where one guy immediately turns a team around. - Tim Jun 28, 06:32 2
  - I'd even argue that the one guy thing works only in the NBA due to the many moving parts of a NFL team -- nm - crash davis 😺 Jun 28, 06:37 1
    - Even there it's just the top 3-5 guys. After that there's no guarantee that the guy will actually be good enough to contribute in the next year. -- nm - Krusty Jun 28, 07:33
I wonder who takes the flyer on that Russian kid... -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Jun 28, 06:02 1
- I bet someone in the top ten is a gambler. -- nm - crash davis 😺 Jun 28, 06:14
