Usually near the end of April. IMO, Mittlestadt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herberts Vasiljevs Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 (edited) I think Martin Necas and Nick Suzuki are the two biggest sleepers in this draft. I'd take Necas at as high as pick number five with Suzuki not too far behind. Patrick Hischier Vilardi Liljegren Necas Mittelstadt Suzuki Glass Makar My rankings are super interchangeable (especially from 5 and onwards), but I'll tell you this much: no matter where we pick, we'll be picking a player who will one day be a top-pairing dman or a bonafide top-6 centre in the NHL.

IMO, Mittlestadt. Last year the lottery took place on Saturday, April 30th. I would expect that they would keep it on a Saturday for the big reveal to happen on HNIC again, so that would put us on April 29th this year. My best guess.

In 2015, the lottery was held on April 18th so it could also be as early as next saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right. Last year was a new format, so maybe they stick to it? Who knows though really. 2016: Saturday, April 30th 2015: Saturday, April 18th 2014: Tuesday, April 15th 2013: Monday, April 30th Kind of all over the place. It is strange that they haven't officially announced it yet. Edited April 3, 2017 by HomeBrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Rush17 Posted April 3, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted April 3, 2017 1 interesting fact about Necas. Not only is he ranked #3 overall on button's list but he is also a right handed C. Who has spent the season in the Czech men's league. Very interesting. The balance of having a right and left C on your top 2 lines is a nice option for your club. Gives you more options in the offensive and defensive zones. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can always be converted to a wing in the future, if say, we take another C next draft who ends up shooting R. William Nylander is an example of this happening.

Scruffy05 Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I initially had reservations about Mittlestadt due to his very high power play point totals, but rather a lot of digital ink has been spilled from various sources that indicates the league he is in generally has a much higher percentage of power play points. I think he definitely fits in that B group after Patrick and Hischier. Still significant concerns for me injury wise with Patrick and Liljegren.

I hope we pick him if Jim doesn't see 1 directly above him. He seems more offensively capable. Too be fair I haven't seen a ton of Vlardi but I just am not that much of a fan of him. If he gets drafted by us that will obviously change. I would love to see if Jim decides Necas or a D man like Makar or lillgren might be worth the wait. Exciting times. Just need to wait for the draft lotto to begin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruffy05 Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Can anybody sell me on Liljegren? If we are going to spend a top 10 pick I would want a top pair defenseman but, looking at number only albeit, I don't see it. Mediocre size, a lot of bouncing around and demotions and promotions and not great numbers. I don't have any eye-test to go by. He does do great in tournaments though. Is that most of his draw? The sample size on those is not comforting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush17 Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Look at this draft ranking list from Jan. https://www.nhl.com/news/adam-kimelman-2017-nhl-mock-draft/c-285904700 This has VAN picking 13th overall. oh have we fallen Lol. Has us picking: 13. Vancouver Canucks - Lias Andersson, C, HV 71 (SWE) A third-generation star in the Swedish Elite League, Andersson has NHL-caliber offensive abilities. He had three goals in seven games for Sweden at the 2017 WJC, and scouts like his two-way skill and the way he can set up plays and finish them.
