BPA Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Eklund at 9th? Maybe if Wallstedt and Mactavish jump into top 8. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilya Mikheyev Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Wonder whose gonna drop Willy Eklund? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilya Mikheyev Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Quinny dropped cuz of his size. His brother really doesn't have that issue. I bet he goes top-6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Maybe BUF takes Clarke or Beniers? I think SEA takes a forward, as they'll want a superstar to excite the fanbase. I can see DET taking Wallstedt as well. This has been a weird season of scouting, some players dropped like rocks because they weren't playing enough or whatever. Players like Lucius and Lambos, could both be very good players, yet they aren't really mentioned much with the emergence of McTavish and Sillinger. It's going to be a very interesting draft, unpredictable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I would have loved to win the lotto, part of me would be scared to select Power. Could you imagine we finally select first overall and select a bust? My question is if Power was say 6’1” and not 6’5” would he be ranked as high? Gotta be weary of size hype. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillipBlunt Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 The league really loves rewarding teams in New York State for being garbage. Bettman’s vision. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 I actually okay with staying at 9th overall....was more nervous of moving down to 10 or 11. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was part of it, but if I remember correctly, it was because some of the others drafted based on need: Canadiens and Coyotes both wanted a Center and drafted Kotkaniemi and Hayton respectively, Detroit wanted a forward and drafted Zadina. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locke Lamora Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 If we can get McTavish you take that and run. Not sold on the big Swede D-man. Hockey IQ a bit questionable. After Jake, I’m very sensitive to this. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxfanabroad Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 I'd love to see Buff pkg this 1st OA with skinner for marner. Would be an interesting swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elias Pettersson Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 3 hours ago, Bure_Pavel said: Pronger is one of the GOAT's, Power could be the closest thing in a while. Guys like Pronger and Hedman who can log 25-30 mins a night are in my opinion more valuable than a McDavid. Example the year Hedman was hurt and the Lightning got swept by Columbus. Pronger had a nasty streak. He took a few guys out of the league with his cheap shots. Nobody wanted to go to the front of the net when Pronger was on the ice. I don’t see any nastiness at all from Power. He’s not that type of D even though he is 6’6”. Hedman has much more of a toolbox than Power as well. Power will be a top 4 defenceman in the NHL. But I don’t think he is at the level of a Pronger or a Hedman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nergish Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Beniers to Seattle at 2nd OA reminds me of David Legwand as Nashville's first ever draft pick. A guy to build your team around, potential captain one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
