- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 มิ.ย. 2024
- The PWHL Draft and Awards ceremony took place in St. Paul, Minnesota, where to no one's surprise, Sarah FIllier was selected first overall by PWHL New York. After that, almost nothing went to script. A trade to move up - a controversial pick - Amanda Kessel almost going undrafted - some sneaky moves and celebrations for the players involved.
We try to wrap it up with some stories of what happened, from the Luleå trio to the controversy and the new teammates who are also old teammates. And there's more to come!

Sorry for the weird Claire Thompson photo edit at 22:00; I’ll have to speak to the staff about that one. I don’t know which dog 🐕 is responsible yet though. 😊
Thank you!!!! ❤ the podcasts!!
You are so welcome! Truly
Thank you so much for doing this! I love hearing your understandings and thoughts about the league and teams. I’m very disappointed in Minnesota. It’s not good.
You are so welcome! 🎉❤
It felt like Minn had the worst draft of any team. Montreal was crazy funny and smart 😂
I think all 3 Canadian teams did well.
Sauvageau isn't afraid to go against known consesus to say the least. I'm happy that MTL drafted a mix of youth and experience, we sill see how the chemistry of this group will pan out, il will be interesting to watch.
Minnesota already has a championship core so adding depth pieces is all we need
@@thenativechamp100 love this take as I will be fascinated to see how Minnesota's approach will pan out compared to other teams that seemed to favour a high turnover of talent.
@@guillaumelevasseur277 I’m hoping we resign Cava, Channell and Schepers. Also bring in Brandt from Boston for the 3rd or 4th line
Always happy to see a new video from you :)
What an amazing first season, and the Finals, draft and awards 👌🏽
Made a Reddit post yeasterday asking how ppl felt after Brittas Insta video, and man.. Can understand from what ppl where showing what stuff she interacted with. And the GM situation, just a realy sad way to end the season.
Im realy hyped for next season tho, all the new players, team names and logos, and for me gonna be realy fun to get to watch the Swedish and Finnish players as Im from Sweden myself.
With that said, cant wait to see what you are cooking up for us this off season :)
Toronto is deep. They added some important parts. If Spooners healthy this team will be tough to beat!
You definitely are 110% about Sarah Fillier. She's genuine and definitely going to be very cool overall to her fans. It won't be long before she's one of the fan favorites for PWHL New York.
The more you see from her, the more there is to like 🩵🩵
@@gamedayhockey I agree. She and Elle Hartje will be both amazing this upcoming season. I cannot wait to seeing them on the ice if New York will be playing in Detroit for one of the Take-Over Weekends of the PWHL like last March 16th.
Why isn’t Nadine Muzerall coaching in this league? Seems like every 4th player picked was coached by her. She must be paid well by “The Ohio State” buckeyes
I think she indeed makes a lot more money there 😄
Montreal was wicked 😂 lmao! Toronto had a great draft. Spooner and Gosling are going to be killer! I’m very excited.
I love how smartly Sauvageau played this. Don’t forget they also signed last year’s pick, Lina Ljungblom as a bonus, so she can work through the Kessel situation and make something out of it.
I agree that Kessel was a wasted pick who probably won’t lace up the skates for Montreal. They Just didn’t want Boston to sign her as a free agent .
Do you think Toronto would have taken her last overall if Montreal didn’t pick her up! thinking the same logic as Montreal was?
@@gamedayhockey agreed tenfold.
@@markd8469 I don’t know tbh, I don’t think Gina has the same attitude, she seems to play it straight. But any player you draft last is probably going to be a free agent so basically you’re just grabbing their rights.
On what draft board was Klára Hymlárová considered a third round pick? When was she considered a better prospect than Izzy Daniel or Abby Boreen?
Klára Hymlárová: Games: 36 Goals: 8 Assists: 16 Points: 24 Penalty Mins: 12 +/-: 1
Izzy Daniel: Games: 34 Goals: 21 Assists: 38 Points: 59 Penalty Mins: 10 +/-: +29 Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award winner
I had Klára Hymlárová as a 4th or 5th round pick, and I am a SCSU Huskies fan.
It is highly likely that Minnesota could have selected either Daniel or Boreen in the third round and still drafted Hymlárová in the 4th round. Why are you afraid to say that pick was a reach? Brooke McQuigge was another reach in the 4th round. Those mid rounds were a killer for Minnesota.
Oh, I understand. It looks like something in their scouting had her ranked more highly, but not taking Boreen there was a really odd move and signaled something was definitely going on with power dynamics. Hymlarova has a certain skill set that should translate to the PWHL but it’s not scoring and she hasn’t shown what Abby has so it didn’t make sense to me either. I’m happy that Izzy fell to Toronto and I hope she scores in buckets.
@@gamedayhockey The mid rounds of this draft were a debacle for Minnesota, and all fans can talk about here is about Britta Curl. That shows that politics is more important than actual hockey for these fans. If the PWHL doesn't want to end up like the WNBA over the last decade, they better put the game ahead of all of the political visuals, and that is the opposite of what they have done.
@@gamedayhockey With this draft and the ouster of Darwitz, it is highly likely that Kendall Coyne Schofield is in charge of what goes on with the PWHL Minnesota team. The hens rule the henhouse.
I think Klee could have gotten a lot of his later picks later in the draft. I think he was winging it
I was really transfixed by the draft. I only checked into the NHL game on my phone, while the draft was on my television. Really interested to see who gets re-signed on the teams and watch out for the free agency market that opens tomorrow. Looking forward to some analysis on the matter!
....but please.....uh....could you maybe....umm....think about a different theme other than the "P W H L puuuuuuuck droooop" Its.....a little.....odd.
Just my opinion. Take it for what its worth.
Okay next year I’ll change it… Everything is in beta mode at this point. What about “six…. In six”? 😵💫🤣🤣
Oh no. Don't change the name. It's great. Just...umm...how it's delivered audibly.....is odd....to me.
But I will still follow the podcast regardless.
@@robhheinbecker850 I'll change the jingle. I didn't have a lot of time in year one, much like the league itself. 🥴🥴
For me it's clear that Carla McLeod did not trust Abstreiter, for a reason I cannot understand. I hope Abstreiter can go to a team in Europe where she can blossom and reach her potential
Abstreiter was lights out at the WWC. I think another team might add her as a third goaltender at least. If that's what she wants.
@@gamedayhockey She refused Ottawa offer most likely because she did not play, I don't see her going third goalie and not playing at all
@@jeanlanglois7892 agreed. I think as the League expands, she will land a starting role somewhere.
More Canadians on Toronto which is predictable. I like it.
Neubauerova (Nemo) is an honorary Canadian for the way she plays, too. 🇨🇦
They definitely have a boat load of Canadians on Toronto
The Minnesota situation is just awful. Can't cheer for them anymore.
Why is that?
@@Too-Odd It's pretty clear who is "running" the team from inside the room.
@@3dogcats Who is that? The coach? The players? Jim from the finance department?
You already had a video about Britta Curl. Why did you use so much time with this video on the same subject when the debacle that was this draft created at least in part by the PWHL ownership was hardly addressed?
I addressed the entire situation in Minnesota as baffling and unfortunate, the division in the locker room and drafting Curl. Which debacle did I not address?
@@gamedayhockey Many Minnesota fans want to know why PWHL Minnesota passed on two Minnesota born players in the third round when they were much better prospects. What is going on here?
What was Minnesota's mindset when it passed up offensive players for defensive and roleplayers. Minnesota passed on speedy Hannah Bilka in the first round, and then they passed on Izzy Daniel in the third.
If they believed Claire Thompson was the BPA in the first, then they had better cover their backside on offense. I have nothing against Klára Hymlárová, but she has shown nothing close to the offensive ability of Izzy Daniel, and they are the same size, so talking about her other abilities is moot. Izzy not only can finish, which Hymlárová has not shown a keen ability to do, she facilitated 38 assists last year.
Minnesota had trouble finishing last season, and none of their three free agents had good a season in that regard. In this draft, which was as deep as a draft will ever get, they failed to address that issue early on, and that will put them behind the eight ball for at least two seasons to come. Not only that, by passing of that offensive talent, it went to other teams, and that will hurt twice as much. The PWHL draft is a zero sum game, and Minnesota's bungles are other team's gain.
If you are a Toronto fan, this was fine and dandy, but for Minnesota fans, the middle of this draft was awful, and that has nothing to do with the Britta Curl situation that you have spend to much video time trying to address.
@@Too-Odd Maybe Klee, with his picks, was trying too hard to be the opposite of Darwitz. As a result, Minny’s draft was awful.
@@sueflay3815 The questions are: was he pressured by the league office or by the player faction led by Kendall Coyne Schofield to not choose Minnesota players, and was Natalie Darwitz unwilling to do so.
@@sueflay3815 The late rounds were good value. The middle of the draft was a complete mess. The could have drafted those players WITH either Izzi or Abi had they had their ducks in a row. Klee showed he wasn't ready to be a GM.
