Best case we win lotto --> Take Ekblad/Bennett/Reinhart one of them 2nd best case we draft 5th or 6th and are unaffected by lotto --> Take Dal Colle or Drasaitl 3rd best case scenario we draft 7th or 8th --> One of the above slips to us with Ehlers/Nylander/Kapanen or Fleury going higher than expected, its very possible weirder off the board picks have happened and GMs have taken bigger risks early before. Most likley --> We pick 7-9th and we take one of the 3 PWFs: Ritchie Virtanen Perlini, and whoever is ranked higher on our list that s available we will take. My rankings for these three has changed so many times I would imagine they have for our scouts as well. I think Beg of season: Ritchie/Virtanen/Perlini Mid Season: Perlini/Ritchie/Virtanen Little bit after: Perlini=Ritchie=Virtanen Before Post Season: Perlini/Ritchie/Virtanen Post Season: Ritchie/Virtanen/Perlini Now: I DONT KNOW! But I would think OUR scouts would be more in favour of still Perlini and Ritchie for that OHL connection Worst case scenario we win last three games, and a team just higher in rankings wins lotto pushing us from 10th pick to 11th pick or something like that! LOL would be turrrrible

Should bring in Wally Buono, hes cutthroat when cutting players see Geroy Simon.. All jokes aside, if this is legit they better be surrounding him with the right ppl!!

What will AQ do to resolve the season ticket holders worries? He will: Bring in Bob Nicholson as President Bring in Jay Feaster as GM --> Because we are canucks and the hockey gods hate us and he has a relationship with torts can have a 1 or 2 year contract no one wants him Bring in Linden as a Vice President --> Feel good PR, Not directly under any scrutiny or criticism, get his feet wet in front office, see if it is a fit Bring in Pat Quinn for 1-->2 year consultant role for Linden help groom him to become a GM or president or both

No it isnt, look again at the standings, if we lose the rest of our games and CAL win there last games they will tie us in pts but have more wins then us, by 2, and they only have 1 more win then us in the shoot out, and there ROW would be 1 better than ours 31>30 So you are right but not about Calgary, the islanders actually cant pass us in the standings with their shoot out wins, and lack of wins, my bad I was wrong about NYI being able to pass us and Best Case= 4th pre lotto, so Best Case is 5th overall pre lotto and thats a fact!! We need Cal to win last three games, Winnipeg to win 1/2 Caroline to win 2/4 last games Ottawa to win just 1 of 4 And we need to lose last three, beating LA hurt our chances but what can you do, BEST CASE pre lotto 5th overall bing bang boom

BEST CASE: We lose all three games finishing 81 PTs VERY possible, season is lost, confidence is shot= many give aways, lazy plays lack of hustle and try, frustrated angry coach etc etc COL: Buzzing young team wants momentum going into post season, and a Vezina contender in Varlamov playing lights out! Oh and the Rookie of the year of course.. CAL: Is actually on fire, Stajan Hudler Glencross Backlund Monahan are making things happen there, Girordano is playing fantastic, they are hungry and looking for wins! EDM: Last game of the year, they are cemented in finishing second last no matter what, they wanna win the last game of the year for sure, they are young angry and motivated, and always seem to play well against us, I am expecting us to get blown out . Ott- lose to NYI, win just 1 or 2 of last 3 games to finish with a better record then us. Win- Beats boston, wheeler balls out against former team , Boston isnt too sad they are going to the playoffs, lose to Calgary, finish with more pts than us. Carolina- wins 2/4 games they finish higher than us! And calgary wins there final three games,, Best Case= 5th Great Case= 6th Most Likley= 7-8th Sorry scratch that best case = lotto winners and picking 1st, but we all know that would never happen even if we were last place team we would lose the lotto for sure!
-
Ehlers will be ranked 1 overall
-
LOl I keep thinking if we dont win the lottery, I can live with that, a team that finishes higher than us tho,,, i cant,,, I will cry!
-
If the Isles win their last games, and those situations said above happen we will pick 4th cal and isles would have tie breaker I believe! Lets goooo PEG, Ottawa, NASH, Carolina, Calgary and Isles woooo!!! And cheer on AVES, Flames and Oilers in last three games against us! LEGGGGO TOP 5 pick PLEASE I am praying we get, Ekblad, Reinhart, Bennett, Drasaitl or Dal Colle!!!!!! LIfe would be great!!
-
lets go isles , flames jets, bring us into the top5 !!!
-
Lol maybe a littttle fishy! Thank god they blundered there other picks tho! Passed on Eric Staal for fleury, then scared to make the same mistake they took j Staal instead of toews... I couldn't even imagine an NHL team that had : Staal-Crosby-Kunitz Malkin-Toews-Neal Thank The Lord for the salary cap And For draft blunders halalujeh !
-
If we lose to LA , Anaheim and Colorado, which is all plausible. They are Cup contenders, then lose to Calgary we have a serious shot at drafting 5th overall before the lotto!!! I would hope we would lose to EDM knowing we are out of contention and EDM is just hungry for wins for team cohesion and to take a positive into the summer. My take this is our BEST CASE SCENARIO!
-
Lol Too bad bo lost
-
great game so far and what a momentum swing! Horvat with the GWG or set up pleasssse
-
He very well maybe after a strong offseason hes gonna push for a spot and get looks for sure will be interesting!
-
For our CHL forward prospects Gaunce Shinkaruk Fox are AHL elligible Cassels and Horvat are not Stan thinks they all could be pushing for spots at camp, obviously they always say that, but it will be an interesting summer especially with the the new youth we get in the draft, say hypothetically we added: Ritchie with our first, Cornel with our second or brendan lemieux, and another 3rd round gem since we will have a higher pick throughout the draft and perhaps another first round pick from a trade... prospect camp competition for prospects then at the regular camp will be great! I think Hunter and Gaunce and Fox will all play the full season in Utica, perhaps one or two of them get called up for injuries or if they are excelling unbelievably. Horvat will push the hardest for a spot, I think he may be sent down for his final yr of Jr, I think our management will be too scared to rush him, but he will def get the full 9 day addition and if he deserves to stay he will, thats what I think. Cassels will have a great camp, expectations will rise then he will go back to Oshawa and be their leader, because Laughton will be gone, and I think there is a very high chance Dal Colle wont be back but if he does him and Cassels would have an even better year than this one. Thats what I think for our OHL guys, think they are still 1-2 seasons until they are all making an impact on our squad. Utica is in for a treat though, and it will be interesting to see I forget if Labate or Hutton have a chance to opt out and go to Utica, or if Labate is done I cant remember! Will be interesting to see if McEneny makes the team! Then they will have Grenier, Shinkaruk, Fox, and Gaunce leading their team offensively not too shabby at all! (At least theoretically!!)

A few things I feel are very wrong with this post. 1. No to any EU players is just a ridiculous stmnt and is very ignorant. The league is filled with many spectacular EU players who win championships and lead or contribute towards them. 2. Ritchie and Kassian are nothing a like, and its driving me crazy how many times I have read that in the past few days, asides from being 200+ pounds and taller 6'2 and playing for the Petes their draft year, there playing styles are completely different, I wont get into it but watch Ritchie play, he is nothing like Kassian. 3. If you have been posting in here with heavy opinions on who to draft how can you honestly be so sure if you don't know about McCann or Virtanen? Both are top 15 prospects in this draft and are very intriguing prospects, hard to give critical opinions and views when you havent really researched or watched the kids play. Nylander is understandable most of us haven't seen him or Kapanen even play a full game. 4. Ritchie scored 39 games, which is very impressive on yes a very meh team and you can compare his draft stats to Kassians draft year stats, it is clear Ritchie carried his team, Kassian did not, it is clear Ritchie is more of a shooter compared to Kassian, as Kassian is a better puck distributer in my opinion. 5. Sure Ritchie was great after the third game of that series but do you even know who the Petes are playing second round? It is the Oshawa Generals, Dal Colle, Laughton, Our boy Cassels, coming well rested off a sweep, it is going to take the Petes another miracle or chapter to their cinderella story to capitalize off their historic momentum to beat the generals. 6. What are you saying those players are identical? In draft ranking? Or the players themselves, because they could not be more different: Virtanen, McCann, Nylander and Fleury?? They are all incredibly different . And Ritchie would be a top 5 pick I think if he did not have that shoulder injury and surgery the year before, that is scaring some scouts I believe, the highest I could see him go is 5th or 6th and if the flames drafted him their other than that I see him as 6-8 range, anything after he is a steal in my opinion, could be even better than Lucic. Not trying to give you a real hard time, but I really disagreed with your points. He actually does avoid contact quite a bit, he has the size and that part of his game can still evolve as hes young, I am very interested to see how he develops and plays next year.

I agree I would love to take him with our second, would be a nice pick, I think Demko will go first round 20's or first 5 picks in second round
-
Thats a nice post man for some swedish perspective, I ave never watched nylander play a full game so I know very little about him asides form his flowing blond hair his name and some highlight real goals lol Yea well if hes available when we pick I have no doubt our scouts have scouted him to death with gradin and our swedish guys, maybe even ask for naslunds opinion or if hes a part of are org by then he will have some input as well, i know rodin is not similar at all but they might be scared of smaller swedes right now especially with jobs on the line, BUT i have no doubt if they have him ranked above where we pick we will take him
