I'm also high on Liljegren , I think he's this year chychrun. Severely underrated. The guy can skate like the wind and get the puck to the net.

Assuming we pick at 5. Best case. Vilardi - almost undisputed 3rd overall. Gives Patrick a run for his money in size and skill. Easy choice at 5 if available. Mittlestadt - This guy is going to be a star. Benning keeps reiterating the need for size and skill. Mittlestadt has both in spades. Some of the best hands in the draft. That's it. We are not drafting heiskanen , Joulevi makes that pick redundant (as a top 10 pick) Honestly I think alot of you guys are reaching for petterson at 5 , even Makar at 5 is a reach. Worst case , all top 4 centers are taken in the top 4 picks. (Heisheir , Patrick , Vilardi , Mittlestadt ) I think the Canucks go with Cody Glass. Not a bad consolation prize. This is all my opinion of course. Looking forward to cracking a beer and watching the draft unfold. For some reason I imagine Bettmans cringy creepy voice as he hunches over the microphone. " We have a trade to announce " . And for some reason I think the Canucks will be involved. Especially with that Tortorella pick in play. As for the 33rd pick. If we get Brannstrom , I will be elated. Some mocks have him , high first round. He's like the swedish Ryan Ellis.
