Bure_Pavel Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I would take a flyer on Ostap Safin for our 2nd round pick. He is a big winger (6' 4"), with good skill and speed. Here is his scouting report from elite prospects: A competitive, 200-foot player that can fit in a power or finesse role. Skates very well, with balance and noteworthy speed, and handles the puck with ease and control at top speeds. Displays a dangerously accurate shot that he is never hesitant to use; always a threat in the offensive zone. Uses his frame well, to protect the puck, as well as to impose physically upon the opposition. Defensively stable and actively cuts off passing and shooting lanes. Could be more creative, but is more of a straight-line player. Potential is that of a top six forward that can complement similarly high-caliber players.

Ichiban604 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) if we get a top 3 picks, i wouldn't mind trading it to arizona or the Aves for their 2018 first rounder...the top 3 picks in that years draft, looks Godly. Then in a perfect world, we will have the 1st and 2nd overall in 2018 Andrei Svechnikov Joseph Veleno Rasmus Dahlin Like seriously, most experts have Nolan Patrick rated 1st overall and top out as a 2nd line center?? This might be one of the worst draft ever. But the last 2 yrs draft's 1st and 2nd overall ppicks was pretty amazing.

Since When do scouts know the projections of every player? in that case Horvat should be a third line Stud the rest of his career and Virtanen should be the next Lucic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DeltaSwede Posted March 21, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 21, 2017 You gotta love Casey Mittelstadt. Definitely a player I have in my top 5 with his name highlighted. After Patrick and Hischier, he's my pick. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herberts Vasiljevs Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) Something tells me Benning really likes Necas. He plays with energy (and hounds the puck), has great speed, excellent balance, and has a pass-first mentality. He also has tons of room to grow. He also has that quiet confidence that Juolevi exemplifies, and that's something I love in a draft eligible prospect.

I am high on CM, I think we have a need for a dynamic puck distributor like him. I think he would mesh well with Brock as the triggerman. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepe Silvia Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Going to make a prediction here.. We don't win a draft lottery spot, we end up picking 6th. We take a defence man with Middelstadt and Glass still available and CDC goes bat sh*t like last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey2 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) Eemeli Rasanen with our 3rd rounder, could be a great pick. Guy is a Finnish RHD, 6´7´´ and 210lb. He Is putting up points in the OHL. Wears #77 and has a wicked hard shot. I can imagine our D lines now: Tryamkin - Liljegren Juolevi - Rasanen Brisebois - Stecher Hutton - Gudbranson? I like it. Kid looks lanky and uncoordinated right now but has good smarts. As he gets stronger and faster he should continue to develop. Plus I hear he Is tough and plays the body. Could be a good shut down Dman who can complement Juolevi with a hard shot and physicality. Edited March 21, 2017 by monkey2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Naslund Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Middelstadt seems like the type of guy to me that would either stay 4 years in college or leave us when he becomes a UFA to return to Minnesota lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it interesting how Suzuki is ranked so low (mid-late 20s) with those stats; it might be his size but even then he's 5'11 and not tiny like Yamamoto. With that being said, I don't think we take him unless we trade down to the teens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he would be the perfect long term D partner for Juolevi though and a pick like this excites me. I'm even okay if we do not draft Liljegren and instead we take Pettersson or Glass or Hischier such that our D looks like: Tryamkin - Stecher Juolevi - Rasanen Brisebois - Neill Hutton - Gudbranson Edited March 21, 2017 by monkey2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKA a draft pick that we don't even have rights to yet and creating 4 waterfalling / dependent negative hypothetical situations in order to create an imaginary situation to complain about LOL wow down a rabbit hole of hypochondria or what?

Brobidus Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Robin Salo could be a good get. He's on pace for roughly the same amount of points as Ristolainen in his draft year. Still don't get how Erik Brannstrom gets rated so low. This draft has some potentially nice gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
