J.I.A.H.N Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Regarding Clarke and McTavish I don' think either are top 2, pretty slim either are top 3 So the question is who after that? Buffalo....................top 2 ..Power or Beniers, but with Echel all a Buzz.....................................................................................................Beniers Seattle....................top 2...Power or Beniers..............................................................................................................................................Power Anahiem.................Has RHD -Drysdale and has Zegras....................they go either Hughes or Edvinsson..............................................Hughes New Jersey............Has LHD Smith and are full at Center, in Hughes, Hischier, etc.....thiis is the first time Clarke is considered..............Clarke Columbus..............Need an offensive center..............................................................................................................................................Johnson Detroit....................They have Seider on RHD and need that LHD or a Center, so its either McTavish or Edvinsson...............................McTavish San Jose................Who's left? Eklund, Lysell, Guenther, Wallstedt, Edvinsson...........BPA.......................................................................Eklund LA...........................They are full at Center, and need wing, defense, and a Goalie......would you draft Carey Price as BPA?..................Wallstedt Vancouver...............That is how I see it!

JB says he sees 9 guys at the top and everyone assumes it’s the same 9 that most list but nothing says he doesn’t have 1 or 2 other guys on his list. It’ll get loud on here if one of the favourites drops to us and he goes off the board and selects Lambos or someone else. This could be one of the more interesting drafts to watch in a long time. I'm sick of waiting... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Not sure how on-the-money the Last Word On Sports is with their assessments, but this is where I got the player comparisons. It's interesting anyway. Should note as well, these are just stylistic comparisons only. https://lastwordonsports.com/hockey/2021/04/18/luke-hughes-scouting-report/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the hand the author says Luke has the potential to be a number one D man, then he goes on to compare Hughes to Tyson Barrie. Kind of a contradiction, no? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I've mentioned before, I think Guenther is a top-5 player in this draft. I have a hard time seeing him falling past the Kings but he'd be a great pick for us if available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they go with a skill guy that projects as a wing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's going to be a lot of people complaining no matter what given how much variation there is in rankings. I'll trust Benning's judgement over CDC's. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard no to defensemen who can't play defense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
