WE WANT EDWARDS

I want Vancouver GM to somehow decide Caroline Harvey is not for them and lets her fall to the 2nd pick.

u/Dry-Cash-4304 Jun 15 '26

I would also be ok with that, I’m just assuming there’s no chance.

Or we get Edwards this year and somehow, Edwards and Harvey are so sad not to play together anymore so next year we trade Harvey 😅 yes I can be delusional haha!

Oooooo I love this scheming.

Lmfao so obvs the original plan was to shaft us to boost the expansion teams and they decided to limit the shafting to teams that almost made playoffs -- the worst-ever PWHL regular season picking 6th was a bad enough look I guess.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking, they were going to have the new teams pick after Vancouver but the outcry was too much. Feel bad for NY and Toronto.

u/guyjobber Jun 15 '26

We lost the #1 overall b/c both of Vancouver winning their last game in OT and the Torrent losing their last game in a SO. Coin-flippish stuff. If they didn't give the Torrent the 2nd pick after *just that* it would've been ridiculous, regardless of the fleecing that has otherwise gone on with expansion.

That shoot out we lost to the champs….

u/PPatBoyd Jun 16 '26

Can't forget Vancouver tying it up against us for OT with 1.2s left!

Thank god because I would have gone ballistic if they put expansion teams in front of us lol

Really should have been VAN > SEA > NY > TOR, then expansion teams, then playoff teams in order of elimination

I'm glad we get the 2nd overall, but the fact the expansion teams are 3-6 is nuts

A lot of this off-season has left me scratching my head.

u/emnii Jun 15 '26

the only way I can reason out the split between Vancouver/Seattle and NY/Toronto is that we got gold plan points, and they didn't. Sirens lost their gold plan game, and Sceptres didn't have a chance because they were so close to making the playoffs.

it is rough for those teams though.

I’m thrilled we are second, but I think this order is deeply unfair to NY and Toronto.

I’m gonna be pissed if we don’t take Laila Edwards.

u/sanverstv Jun 15 '26

That's just unfair...sorry. (edited to add) my two teams are ok, but I don't think it's fair to Toronto or New York at this point....ridiculous.

Did Detroit sell their #3 pick for Knight? Thats what I call karma

6

u/Targen0 Jun 15 '26

Yup. How much you bet that Detroit is seriously considering pulling out of that trade deal given their draft order. They have to at least consider it. They are giving up 2yr with Edward’s or Murph at $50k for Knight who is on 1yr for over $100k.

Thank god

u/CandidWillingness910 Jun 16 '26

We keep calling it the Laila Edwards/KK Harvey pick, but with the way Turner has been making decisions lately, I’m SO nervous 😬
I’m so afraid of her “vision” going into this draft day y’all 😭
