8 QUESTIONS AFTER THE 2023 NHL DRAFT | BARDOWN PODCAST

[@brianwallace9298]

Why did ESPN and Emily Kaplan think it was appropriate to ask Matthew Wood during his interview after just getting drafted by the home crowd Predators, “What’s something we don’t know about Connor Bedard?”….this kid’s been waiting for this moment for his whole life and you ask him about Bedard? Come on now

[@MrHunterbg]

Kaplan was awful at asking questions to draft picks. I get it’s tough, but do some research beforehand. Think she made Will Smith sing the Fresh Prince song. Anybody could’ve done better than she did. Good at her job, but damn was she brutal with the interviews.

[@Poldylox]

Michkov has met with the flyers twice and on both occasions was really happy with the flyers wanting to draft him. He had a real good time in vorhees apparently.

[@Nacnud92]

Fantilli had the BEST hair of the draft hands down. Looking like a dapper Dan Stan up there. I hope he brings his best to c Bus, GO JACKETS.

People don’t realize that kaprizov stayed in the k for 3 years. Now carry’s the wild. Imagine Mitchkov if he does stay in Russia than comes over when the flyers get better.

[@alessandroscuderi7300]

Everybody knows Kaprizov stayed in KHL after being drafted but you got the years wrong. He stayed FIVE years in KHL after being drafted which is a legit concern with Michkov. He could resign there like Kaprizov did and take even longer.

[@ryanwasiak7050]

None of you are scouts or have even watched most of these guys play, why would you crap on these organizations and these teenagers when you don’t know a thing about these kids other than what you’ve seen in the media?

[@seanpierce2943]

There were certain teams Michkov wasn't interested in playing for so I can't blame the teams that didn't take him for that reason. Montreal had discussions with him but it was obvious him and his agent wanted Philly from what we heard come out in the media a few days prior to the draft.

[@CarmeloCaldarella-n1e]

Marcel Marcel is the most unique name hands down

[@BelleVegasBoy]

Could be the opposite ...from a certain point of view

[@rexology_bg]

My explanation of Arizona's draft is that the talked to all of the North American players and they all didn't want to play there. The Yaroslavl guys were the best players that didn't shudder when asked their reaction to being drafted by the Coyotes.

[@111oooo]

"Experts" were saying Gretzky was too slight to make it in the NHL. He was 6 feet but slim. Jagr was not that fast but was said a to be really good once over the blue line, same with Selanne as I recall. So Jagr went 5 (with Canucks taking Nedved instead) and the Finish Flash going at 10 because they did not have blinding speed. I look at the draft with Steve Larmer and Luc Robitaille in mind. Not that big, not that fast, no big shot but hockey IQ yes. Larmer was an All-Star and I think won the Calder and Luc inducted into the HOF

[@ZombiewilleatU]

Also with the Reinbacher Habs question thing kinda weird that would ask a kid from Austria that, hope they didn't ask it to any potential German prospects as well lmao

[@coastaku1954]

I'm very happy with the Leafs picking Easton Cowan, he was on fire during the Playoffs and I always loved watching him play, it's even better that I live in his hometown and have met his family before~

[@MrKohulann30]

Carlsson is gonna be way better than they think, him being better than Fantilli isn't out of the question at all

[@deltagolavista1]

‘Bout the Yotes: it wouldn’t surprise me if the first question they ask prospects is ‘will you play for our organization?’ Second, they drafted Russians, who, they have indefinite first contract signing rights for. Much like Michkov, who said he wouldn’t play for them, both of these guys can develop in the KHL until a new building is ready for the team and then bring them over. It’s a safer pick than Cooley who needs to sign by August 2026 or he becomes a UFA.

It’s very debatable that he was the “best player” I think Fantilli as the better player but I also had Carlsson as the 3rd best player in the draft. They are very close but I think Fantilli’s shot and his physicality puts him over Carlsson

With easton Cowen as a leafs fan, I was like wtf at first. But since I've been watching highlights and footage of hime. I like how he makes smart passes and can make a playthat gets the zone entry then gets him self open perfectly for the goal. And his wrist shot where he is really great at making the goalie believe he has the whole net covered and whip it left side is beautiful. So many of his goals are life that too and it's always perfect. And I think he will fill out the left side with knies and Robertson beautifully in the future
