He did seem to play well with them nearing the end of the season. I wouldn't be surprised if they tried that line next season. 

Goldy would be the trigger man on that line for sure. 

 

I remember Hank saying that Goldy was a very smart player too, who read the ice well.  I'm very glad JB made that Hansen trade.

Yeah. I'm equally excited about Goldobin as you are. I think if he works on all the things you've mentioned he'll definitely have a great career. He's almost a lock for 20 goals for sure. 25-30 goals possible, depending on his deployment, confidence and game, he could reach 40 goals maybe once in his career. 

 

Larionov said Goldy playing with the Twins would be an awesome line.

Probably 0 chance, but I'd love to get this guy with our 2nd rounder. 

do we know where we draft in round two, or is it set by the lotto results?

We're talking predicted ceilings here, I'm not saying for sure that anyone WILL be anything.

 

I'd say that Patrick, Hischier, Glass, Mittelstadt, Necas and Suzuki all have higher ceilings. Albeit the latter half also have higher risk. Pettersson I'd probably put loosely on par for ceiling with Vilardi but again, higher risk.

I really liked the Henrik and Kesler combination, with Malholtra in the three spot.  We have Bo and Sutter for 2 and 3 looking like they are good fits in those roles.  We really need that elite number one, like Henrik used to be.  Is the order you listed the order you think best to draft in hopes of getting that number one center?

I love Bo but he's a REALLY good 2C/ok 1C. IMO they're aiming higher this draft.

Which of the guys this draft will be 'higher' centers than Bo?  Middlestadt?
