The 10 Biggest Steals and 10 Biggest Reaches of the 2023 NHL Draft

Using the NHL trade value chart, I managed to calculate which picks were the biggest steal and the biggest reaches of the 2023 draft. The question is, which GMs deserve to get flamed for going off the board with their draft picks.

    Simashev is big and can skate it is why he go så high, reinbacher was not taken to early he was de best d man in the draft

  2. JohnSolo

    This video is pretty misinforming ya goof

  3. PuppetMa5teR

    Cristall was the player I wanted my Kraken to pick. Definitely a steal for the Caps!

    Edit: Jebaited by the thumbnail was hoping to see something about the Kraken 😢

    Quinten Musty is not on this list is a crime

    Congratulations to Philadelphia, for having the balls to take a chance on Michkov. He WILL turn out to be a generational cornerstone of their team. So, so silly for six teams to pass…

    Saying Danielson is a reach is in itself a reach. Danielson had a phenomenal record against Bedard.

  7. Bret

    You really need to check your biases on the Michkov bit

  8. Anthemdyg

    Not to much expected from me for this one unlucky duck.

    As a Rangers fan i was curious as to why Gaber Perrault fell as much as he did.

  10. Sgt.Hairclub

    I have a question for you. Would any of the top three picked defenseman go before the top four defensive prospects in next years draft? All I heard leading up to the draft was how weak the defenseman class was.

    Did not expect us to get benson lmaooo

  12. Benozkleenex

    So much habs copium in here.

  13. tristin gleason

    As a Sabres fan, I was super happy everyone passed on Benson. What a grab!!!

  14. Devils MetsFan

    Just look back at the draft in 5 years. There are so many players that are picked that never make it to NHL, even in first round. Predraft rankings mean nothing. Look at Patrick Nolan.

  15. smm canada

    do u even do any scouting simashev is the top dman ii the draft

  16. smm canada

    fantili isnt a steal he fell into their lap he wuldve went 4th if they didnt ick him its not a steal 3rd overall ye a seal lol u must think leo sucks

    Hughes made mistake 2 years consecutive in draft. Habs need a better draft scouts.

    Danielson played on a garbage team and was quoted by Connor Bedard as the hardest player to play against, if you flip the DRW picks and put ASP at 9 and Nate at 17 it’s still a home run. Love the pick.

  19. Alfons Čepička

    Whole idea how to rank the prospect in thhis video is nonsense

  20. Ursa Major

    Reinbacher wasn't a "reach", he was by averaged expert opinion the best projected defenseman available. What is more questionable was selecting defense over forward talent. The need for Montreal might have been more at center or a winger like Leonard. Michkov with Caulfield already there wouldn't balance the needed forward depth.

    We know that this is a Great great deal !
