JM_ Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 1 hour ago, Off_The_Schneid! said: Matthew Zator Hockey writers did up a mock draft based on simulator rankings. 1. Detroit : Owen Power 2. Chicago: Brandt Clarke 3. Buffalo : Jesper Wallstedt 4. Anaheim: William Eklund 5. Seattle: Matt Beniers 6. NJ: Simon Edvinsson 7. CBJ: Dylan Guenther 8. Van: Fabian Lysell 9. Ottawa: Kent Johnson 10. Sj: Cole Sillinger I would think that that we would take Luke Hughes if we were in that spot and the picks went like that seems fairly accurate other then that If thats how the draft actually goes then I would want Jim to go Luke Hughes as well. I can't see Benning going with another winger if Hughes is still available. Not surprised to see Wallstedt go that high either, I think he goes top 5 for sure.

I agree that we’d go Hughes here but I feel like NJ Devils picking infront of us would probably also go Hughes there and us taking Edvinsson. Toss up for me between Edvinsson and Johnson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much would it cost to get Eichel? 1st/2nd overall Boeser Pod 2nd round pick Does this get it done? But someone will call it an overpayment here. I Don't think Eichel is as good as you think. He is in no way worth this, not even close. You are giving up likely 150-200 points from your roster to get 80 or so, and adding cap in the process. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant justify why he deserves an 8M contract. Why are we talking about Boeser at 8 million? That is not how Qualifying offers work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be far more interested in a deal like Miller, DiPietro, 2nd for Reinhart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toss up for me between Edvinsson and Johnson. I really want Clarke but he won't be there for us. After that Wallstedt, and again I think he's gone. So to me Hughes is maybe the BPA after that? so hard to know with his injury. I kind of wonder if we'll see them go for Sillinger if Hughes isn't there for us. He seems like a Benning type pick to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This draft is so unclear... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really can't say who BPA is after the first what, two players? might as well fill a right side d hole with a top 10 pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a thought, with VAN having Hughes and Rathbone, they already have 2 very good mobile Dmen. Is Clarke the best option? Or would it make more sense to draft a player like Power, who has size and steadiness, I've heard the comparison to Hedman or Burns. Canucks could use a guy like that on the back end. My focus would be to get the most NHL ready forward. I feel we are not as far off as this year indicates, and expect that if we are a healthy team in the Pacific division with a normal schedule, we are a playoff team. I hate to say it, because it never happens, but I'd move down. The top of this draft is pretty heavy on LHD, which we do not need. I'd look to trade with someone in the 6-8 range that has 2 first round picks, like Columbus, Ottawa, New Jersey, Detroit. Pick Kent Johnson/Lysell, and then a big RHD like Morrow, Ceulemans, Roman Schmidt, Mailoux with the 2nd of our 1sts. This draft is such a crapshoot, I'd look to get as many early looks as we can. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, good point - our ever rebuilding cousin is hoping to cash in and get that contract off there books. Looks like another top 3 for them (along with NJ - who just had two 1 OA’s in the past four years). Clark or KJ would be ideal for me but the local kid factor with KJ might mean Vancouver might not be ideal for him (?).

I think there are a few teams that would eye him up - Buffalo, Detroit, maybe even Seattle. He's one of the few guys this year with a really decent track record for scouts to chew on, I think he'll be seen as a very safe bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underwhelming years to get 1rst overall but hey I’d like us to win the lottery for once in our organizations history. The 2023 lottery for Bedard though is for us!

The 2023 lottery for Bedard though is for us! Would be nice to finally have a 1st OA pick in the teams history and I would like to see what JB will finally do with a pick higher than fifth. Although, having 1st OA is great but the player can still be a bust or not be a great fit, as proven by Buffalo (but if they draft a goalie like Wallstedt, it might be the piece that they are missing).

Yeah, just like Vegas with MAF having a franchise caliber goalie to initially build around would probably be the best move for Seattle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As he gains maturity with coaching I'm sure he will settle his game down and have fewer mental lapses from trying to do too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
