  1. I understand where your coming from, I found myself referring back to 2012 when Hertl put up 25 points in 38 GP, was bigger, had a really good WJC, and slipped all the way down to 17th?! Not that he even really slipped, if you go back on mock drafts he was in the 20-28 range. Now here we are 5 years later and we've got a kid who put up 15 points in 41 games, is smaller, getting talked about going as high as 3rd overall. Now, that might make me sound like I'm not very high on Necas but that's not the case. He's a stud, that's well known, just statistically referencing the 2 is crazy no?! Just the type of draft it is I guess, we're also talking about a kid playing in high school going 3rd as well!
  2. I was being cheeky before, referring to Max Reinhart and Sam Reinhart. In regards to Domi for Hutton, I would do that deal in a heart beat, but ARZ wouldn't. I know we may be a little thin on the backend losing Tryamkin and then adding Hutton but that's something that can be dealt with after we all finishing crying from the thought of a Domi-Horvat-Boeser combo.
  3. You're thinking of Max. The fellas are talking about Sam
  4. Central Scouting does a North American list and Euro list. Matthews, Laine and Pulj would've been ranked in the Euro category, leaving PLD and Tkachuk as the 1-2 punch out of North America.
  5. If Middelstadt hadn't gone back to high school he would be the clear cut #3 I think.... Bonehead decision to go back IMO. I get the "unfinished business" thing but still, it's got to hurt his ranking, which sucks because it makes me skeptical even at #5. I won't be disappointed, just not sold.
  6. I don't buy Necas being to small. Is Ehlers to small in Winnipeg and Goldobin for us? I vote no Cody Glass has 1 inch and 9 pounds on Necas
  7. Don't know if this has been discussed or not but I had forgotten how often 2nd best odds have won recently. 2012 draft lottery, 29th place EDM jumped 30th place CBJ 2013 draft lottery, 29th place COL jumped 30th place FLA 2014 draft lottery, 29th place FLA jumped 30th place BUF 2015 draft lottery, 29th place EDM jumped 30th place BUF Crappy luck for Buffalo... McDavid and Ekblad or Eichel and Reinhart... What could've been... I know it's all random as hell, just wanted to bring that to some people's attention who maybe wern't aware. Fingers crossed... One week today...
  8. One of many, many rankings? One that has Rasmussen as the 5th best NA skater... Not a chance. Button just did a mock draft on Monday that has Liljergen going 4th behind Glass at 3rd? It's all over the map, but I would be willing to bet that Lilj is the first Euro skater picked, if not, the 2nd. I'd give up all hope if Benning drafted Lias Anderson over Liljergen...
  9. Agreed. If you're looking for that added mid first round pick, pray SJ wins and use #31 and #33 as bait, otherwise, like you've mentioned, focus on next years draft.
  10. No flame from me, it's a solid argument. I'm taking Lilj but would be just as excited with Foote. Kids a stud and is probably the safer pick.
  11. Forsberg! You and I went back and forth on Bean vs Sergachev last year, I'll tip my hat to you one year later. I still like Bean as a prospect though, but you're looking right thus far. Whats your take on Liljergen?
  12. Yeah it is stupid. Notice how high Tippett is on ISS, I love the kid, some team is going to be really happy walking away with him. Pretty ballsy of CS to rank Liljergen so low. I can't see it happening.
  13. You can say the same about Patrick. I just seen CS has Liljergen ranked as the 7th best Euro player... Yikes. Everyone's list is all over the map. Right now I'd probably take Liljergen at 3, assuming the big 2 are gone.
  14. Embarrassing story about the Draft Lotto... Last year my 8 year old son had a couple buddies over when I was watching the lotto reveal, I was having a heart attack, just freaaaaking out. Screaming at the TV, throwing pillows as he's counting down. Well the little brats were laughin and chirping me watching it all go down, they were in tears, as was I when that bald head flipped our logo over at #5. Fast forward to this morning, driving the little dude to school, "oh hey, 'rattles off 6 names' want to come over in 2 weeks on Saturday.... it's the draft lottery isn't it, we told all my friends about what happened last year, they all want to come now" with a massive grin on his face. I said Blizzards on me if we win top 2, looked like he had just won the lotto himself "...AWESOME!!!"
