He could be a Gallagher type but i'm talking a pure point producer type home run swing. Fair enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I doubt he'd make it to us too based on rankings either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be great but I dont think Hague makes it out of the first round, Anderson-Dolan would be a good pick at 33. I dont think he makes it to 53 tho, but anything can happen on draft day.

(PK, Weber, Keith, and more too) Maybe our second round picks should be D? Its true, but also a crapshoot. The most physically gifted guys still go in the first round. Then its an issue of can they handle it? 10 years ago the Duncan Keith's were still being left to the 2knd round, because, yeah, there is still a % chance they will not make it. Forwards have to apply more pressure as the game gets faster in the NHL.To an extent the player just has to get faster. But you can scout athleticism and reasonably pick, also knowing today's training techniques, who will probably be able to apply that pressure, gain that speed. Defenceman are under more pressure. Their speed will also pick up with training. Its harder to pick who will have the mental composure to deal with that duress as play ramps up? Some guys just have it. But its a percentage game. Give or take just under 25% of 2knd rounders play 100 games of NHL. Well over 50% in the first round. Among the guys who have already demonstrated the most. 15 or 20%, or less in the 3rd round. The ones who develop or have that composure will outlast a bigger, faster guy taken in the first round. Can you risk only having a D man to incorporate into your system once every 4 or 5 years? So teams stopped leaving the Doughty or Karlsson, Werenski & Jones type physically gifted guys for later rounds, worrying they might not make it, about 10 years ago. Also, do you want to risk having Chris Tanev be your best D man? Who scores almost no goals & has no physical presence. To mitigate risk & get better talent you have to pick D men consistently when a good one is on the board. In all rounds. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bure_Pavel Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 4 hours ago, Wolfgang Durst said: Personally I would believe that the Sabres go for a D-Men. They need D-Men desperately, their D- corps is a mess. Provided they land 2-3 D-Men by trade I could imagine that they pick Tippett. Most likely the Avalanche decide to pick a D-Men . They have some skill upfront with Landeskog, McKinnon Duchene therefore not really convinced that they select a forward. Would leave some more C opportunities for us (Vilardi, Mittelstadt,Glass). At number 8 i believe Tippett would be BPA, and could be a good power winger to play with eichel down the road. For the Av's i think they take heiskanen if available but with the season they had they need the Best player they can get, and i think duchene will be gone in the near future.
