We look at reasonable expectations and desires for our team.

But now we take in to account what everyone else will do.

1st overall for Edm or Buffalo will be in no particular order Ekblad or Reinhart right?

Well what if the rumours are true and Edm takes Fleury if Buf takes Ekblad? So Ekblad and Fleury have gone 1-2 right?

Then Florida comes up, do they need yet ANOTHER center? Probably not so they take solid winger Dal Colle right?

Isles come up provided nothing has changed via lottery and obviously take Reinhart.

Well here is the thing. Calgary then needs another stud C don't they? eehhhhh Burke likes his truculence and could just as easily take Virtanen or Ritchie. It's what he does

This leaves the bigger names falling doesn't it? And that is again providing that Snow doesn't go way off the boards and grabs Perlini, Ehlers, Ritchie, Virtanen or someone of the sort.

Snow and Burke are the wild cards here in New York and Calgary. Quite honestly I expect some real surprises in the top 10 in terms of who picks what. It is feasible like last year we see Bennett and Reinhart slip to the 4-7 spots.

In all honesty the only 2 players I take off the board are Ekblad and Reinhart....and I guess Dal Colle. As it stands anything could happen. Especially with Calgary Edmonton and the Isles.

So the top 5 NA skaters could be top 5 overall. Well, lets see where we end up and if anyone falls out of the top 5.

I really think the top 5 will be interesting. I believe Edm and NYI will do something off the board, Cal could follow suit

I think its pretty safe to say Bennett will go in the top 5, Dal Colle may fall to us though. Here's hoping.

But will we fall to him????

6th pick will either be 1st 6th or 7th so that's attainable if everything goes right, if not we could be looking at 9th or tenth, or even higher.

Me neither, although if Ritchie puts on another show in the playoffs...

I wonder if the new GM makes a bit of a splash to move up. There's always a chance of winning the Lotto!

I still see Calgary possibly taking Ritchie with Burke at the helm

I meant the possibility of Florida taking Ritchie if he tears up the playoffs. Now that Florida is positioned to pick 2nd the likelihood of them taking BPA (Bennett/Reinhardt/Ekblad is more likely)

Buffalo - Reinhardt

Florida - Bennett

Edmonton - Ekblad

NYI - Dal Colle

Calgary - Ritchie

Winnipeg - Nylander

Vancouver - Draisaitl

I could actually see this happening :emot-parrot:

If Ekblad goes 1st, and Edmonton picks 2nd or 3rd, couldn't they take the BPA and trade him for a solid NHL-ready Dman?

Reinhart or Bennett could get them a pretty good player.

Here's how I see it

Buffalo grabs Ekblad

Edmonton grabs another Center in two of last three years in Reinhart

Florida picks up Dal Colle

Change my mind

Since we have a good trade relationship with Florida

I'd trade our pick to them plus a player for 3rd overall

We grab Dal Colle or Draisaitl most likely Draisaitl if we don't keep Matthias or Richardson

If we trade up to third overall and Reinhart and Ekblad are off the board theres no excuse for not taking Bennett.
