Strong bloodlines, great size, a very good work ethic, and an elite shot. Plus I believe he can make the team sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only question is will he be an impact player or more of a support player? Our goal at 9 needs to be an impact player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kings don’t need a goalie with Peterson and have a solid forward group of prospects. They will likely take a D. Could see them take an offensive winger too.

They absolutely could use a blue chip goalie to replace Quick. Only question is whether or not they wanna spend a top 10 pick doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s overseen by Ernst and Young. Who’s reputation is far more valuable than fixing a draft lottery. In addition a representative from each team is in attendance during the lottery to confirm the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFCanuck Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Kent Johnson or bust, two lacrosse goal players we can't be stopped. But Bettman will probably ban the lacrosse goal if we do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spook007 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Button has Eklund picked at 7th... maybe he could drop all the way to 9th... Johnson is compared to Petey, which is enticing, but he's another skinny kid... McTavish is taken @10 according to Button... Was there something about his skating/speed? and Sillinger at 12... We are getting a good player, but with sample size so small there could be some real gems dropping...lets just hope we pick one of them. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For where the Kings are at he’s been pretty good with this past season being his first as a starter. Petersen is also having an insane World Championships right now. 1.01 GGA and .961 save percentage in 5 games. By all accounts they look committed to Petersen and this WC performance would help solidify that. Kings have bigger needs too, especially at D, and they’re in a position to possibly draft one or the top 4 D prospects in the draft. After that offensive players would help round out their blue chip two-way talents. Y’all seem to forget there’s another good G in this draft in Sebastian Cossa too who will likely be a late 1st/early 2nd. 6’6’’ kid that oozes potential.

CupIsComing Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Even with their present ownership situation, I can't feel too sorry for Buffalo. Joined the league same year as us...have now had four first overalls in the amateur draft. Perreault, Turgeon, Dahlin...not too shabby!
