Amazing, and could really push Jack to want to play here 3 Hughes Bros., be like the Hansens bros. from Slap Shot, only way more skilled and way less physical 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be pissed if we took him at 10. I do think you will see him go before that. A few teams picking ahead of us need a future franchise goalie, and with the uncertainty of this draft, could take him pretty high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you believe what most people say about JB, and I'm not arguing he is/isn't - that he's a superior analyst of amateur talent - then one would have to assume he has the advantage in a draft such as this year where for many hockey executives/analysts it's going to be like throwing darts at a board hoping for the best. I'm always curious about how much say the GMs actually have on the assessments. With every GM you see clear patterns emerging, most particularly regarding which leagues and areas they draft from. My understanding is that's because those are the regions where their most trusted scouts are based. So for GMs I think it's really more about evaluating talent evaluators.

Definitely think you're on to something there HoH. Realistically, no GM could manage to follow their own NHL/AHL club and do all the amateur scouting required for a 7 round draft with over 200 players; therefore, as you point out, they have to rely quite heavily on their scouting staff to do a lot of the leg-work (in-person scouting). I'm sure teams prioritize the leagues they want to recruit from and/or the traits in players they're looking for allocate resources accordingly.

Nucker 67 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 If the season ended with VAN winning 1 of their last 2, before the lottery of course, 1. BUF - Clarke 2. ANA - Power 3. SEA - Wallstedt (WOW!) 4. NJ - Hughes (Damn! They got the 2 Hughes bros.) 5. CBJ - Johnson 6. DET - Edvinsson (they love their Swedes) 7. SJ - Beniers 8. LA - Guenther 9. VAN - Eklund (we like 'em too) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bure_Pavel Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 If we are picking 9 or 10 and the following players are off the board: Clarke Power Beniers Hughes Edvinsson Eklund Guenther Johnson Then my choice would be Mason McTavish. He has had a great second half of the season, playoffs and U18 tourny. Kinda get a canadian Mika Zibanejad vibe from him. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Fist Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 what does the top 15/top 20 look like, now that we're likely out of the top 10 and have 3 year development period before seeing the play we draft, i can see them trading down a few spots to shed a contract. Theres a chance the picks gone outright now in a trade, can't see Benning waiting for something 3 years away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only way we are drafting outside the top 10 is if someone behind us wins the lotto which is unlikely past 10. So odds are we draft 9th-10th.

They way I look at it, there are 12 really great players in the draft. Would I have preferred to have our choice of the crop and loose all these games? Sure. Who wouldn't. Am I proud of our guys for finishing strong in what will likely be the hardest year of hockey in their careers? You bet your ass I am. Every year teams go rouge and go off the board. No one saw Seider (except me, subtle brag) as early as he went. He ended up being a huge steal in that draft. Our boy at 10 was in the talks about a top 3 selection all year and dropped hard. That's looking pretty great for us right now. The draft isn't set in stone. We are going to get a really great players in our spot, I can feel it in my bones. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel all the top D Power/Hughes/Clarke/Edvinsson will all be gone before we pick. Top forwards might be gone too Beniers/Eklund/Guenther. We will probably have Lysell/Johnson/etc to choose from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are strong on the right side. Power would be a good influence on dahlin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have loved Clarke, don't get me wrong. But this years consolation prize being a pick between those 2 players isn't bad at all. I'm a huge fan of the way Lysell plays the game, and Johnson would be a great story being a local kid who has, in my opinion, one of the higher ceilings in the draft.
