Pretty much how I see it as well, but like I said before my opinion is heavily influenced by the fact that I don't follow the QMJHL, OHL and the NCAA as much as I would want to.

Jones and Mac are 1a 1b like i always said, and i will be very surprised if Jones drops down to 4th.
As far as Preds drafting Jones, i think they would draft Jones even with the 1st pick overall because Preds are a defensive team. They don't have or care about offense. They probably don't even have a forward who can score 20 goals in an 82 game season.

I totally agree with the Preds that Jones is the best player in the draft, and their record speaks for themselves (they have had a number of 1st round bust defensemen though). I just can't get myself wound up that the Avs don't agree with the Preds and myself on who is the best player in the draft.
Overall, I would say the Avs are better at drafting than the Preds. Preds are better at defensemen. Avs are significantly better at forwards.
I think almost all teams would take him at 4.
I hope they're happy picking where they are. I wouldn't want that information public if, come draft day, Jones is still on the board at 3.

Avs draft forwards at an alarming success rate, not so much defenders. The Preds being high on Jones does not mean he is better than MacK it just confirms he is very good. I would like Jones, but I'll support whomever Pracey believes in the most, which is MacK.

What do you expect Poile to say??
With the Avs coming out and saying MacKinnon, the Panthers not liking Jones according to reports and the Bolts being high on Drouin or Nichushkin, there is a reasonable chance that Jones is the one left to pick for the Preds.
Look at Burke talking up Rielly. You would always have YOUR guy picked #1 ....
Poile might be right. He might be wrong. But I think he hopes and prays to god that Sakic and Roy take Jones at #1 and therefore leave Barkov to him...

Personally if Barkov played in North America, in the CHL, and was named Sean Barker he would be ranked the #1 skater. He is a manchild whose physical game and talent is a lot like Landeskog, but I think Barkov's offensive potential vastly rivals him.
But I really think MacKinnon's personality is something the Avalanche need. He's got a Patrick Kane/Taylor Hall chip on his shoulder and he just oozes with confidence. His offensive talent is very flashy as well and quite honestly I think he will end up as good as Tavares/Stamkos.
My pick would be MacKinnon but I do think Barkov is severely underrated.

I'm sure he will do ok on the wing, that's not the question. The question is will the Avs be a better team with a great defensive center, who's great at faceoffs, and among the best in the league at neutral zone takeaways, playing on the wing? Or are the a better team with him at center.
With the logjam at center forcing a guy like O'Reilly to the wing, a rookie 1st overall pick in MacKinnon playing on the 3rd line, and the dire needs at defense, why they hell would they not be trading a pending UFA like Stastny to help alleviate some of these things?

Here is a big question...
If both Jones and Mackinnon reach their full potentials...
Mac is a 90+ point producer maybe even reaches 100, which Avs have absolutely no one on the current team that can produce 90 + points.
Jones could be Pietrangelo type or better, perhaps a Norris caliber some day.
Take out the risk factors of d-men higher risks of busting than forwards, would you rather have Tavares or even Stamkos or Pietrangelo on this team?
People say Mac is like Duchene, im sorry but i don't think Duchene will ever reach 90 point mark in the NHL, i think he is capable of maybe 70+ if he plays 82 games of top hockey.
I really believe with good quality wingers Mackinnon can score 100. He's nothing like Duchene like many people here say he is.
I'm reading some web sites where people compare Mac to Stamkos.

I think the Avs have been better at drafting defensemen of late.
2012 Draft
No defensemen taken
2011 Draft
#11 - Siemens - Looks to have a NHL future as a shutdown middle pairing defensemen
#153 - Beaupre - I'm higher on him than most, but I can see him being a solid 5/6 defensemen in a couple years.
#183 - Donnelly - didn't sign, not unexpected for a 7th round pick.
2010 Draft
#95 - Silas - a bust here
#137 - Rutkowski - didn't sign, and probably won't amount to much. Still was deemed good enough to earn a contract from Ottawa.
2009 Draft
#49 - Elliott - close to being a regular NHL player. Still has significant upside.
#64 - Barrie - I would call him a regular NHL player now. Showed last season he can handle a top 4 role, and maybe more.
#184 - Young - meh prospect, but still a prospect. He could be a possible bottom pairing shutdown player. I doubt he gets a contract next year.
That looks to me like 3 solid hits out of 8 picks (Barrie, Siemens, Elliott). Beaupre might bring that to 4 if he can continue to develop. 38% success rate while only drafting 1 in the 1st round would actually be a really good. Hell, 25% is pretty damn good.

Siemens is a frustrating prospect to think about. I hope he doesn't turn into Keaton Ellerby Pt. 2.

Stastny is nearly as good defensively and as good at faceoffs (maybe even better). There is still a lot to play out. Stastny may still be traded. Maybe Mac struggles at center and has to move to wing. Maybe ROR isn't in the Avs long-term plans. There are a lot of unknowns right now. No sense in getting wound up about it at the current moment.
I wouldn't think of Mac in a traditional 3rd line role... think of it more like a Kadri role with the Leafs last year.
FTR I personally feel that Stastny is the better player to move to wing.

Sorry, I didn't think I would need a sarcasm smiley because this is a hockey board and that play there, that I mentioned has probably never been used in the history of hockey.
It's a bluff! It's a bluff! He's trying to convince the Avs to take Jones so they can have Barkov.

Maybe he is moved, I just hope they get it out of the way and done with so they can go into the season with somewhat of a set group.
I think Staz is quite good defensively, but he's not ont he level as O'Reilly. And no one on the team, or in the league except for Datsyuk is on his level in terms of breaking up plays and forcing turnovers in the neutral zone. This is a huge benefit to a team, and he will be all but neutered in this regard spending most of his team along the wall in the neutral zone.
I don't think Stastny is a great candidate to move to wing either (none of them are) but it doesn't take away's O'Reilly's important presence up the middle. The presence that was sorely missed while he was holding out last year.
Maybe the idea is to boost Stastny and Jones' production playing them top minutes, and then trade them.
Duchene was on a 75 point pace this year. I know his pace doesn't necessarily mean he would have gotten that, but to say he's capable of maybe 70+ is a little misleading. He's only 22. He could easily get to 80-90 points in his prime.
We will be very lucky if MacKinnon is as good as Duchene. Let's not let the shiny new toy overshadow the great players we have on the roster.
Is anyone an ESPN insider? There's a new article up where Roy talks about the draft, ROR to the wing and Stastny.
Part of the article is up, and Roy states if they move to 2, they'll pick Drouin, and 3, they'd pick Barkov. Mentions how he understands defense is a problem, but then it cuts off because only insiders can read the rest.

My two round mock:
Note 1: MacKinnon being taken by the Avalanche is the right thing to do. Defenders rarely pan out to be worth the high pick immediately in the next season. I don't think Jones' lifetime value with the Avs will be more than MacKinnon's even if his ceiling is higher than Nathan's. I think there is little about Jones' game that makes him worth picking over a high-octane forward so high.
Note 2: With a forward being taken I do think that Ian McCoshen is the best fitting defender at #32 for the Avalanche. It was between him and Santini but I think McCoshen's two way game and size is worth the investment.

Duchene looked like the obvious move to wing before last year. He was by far the best center on the Avs.

You can't take out the risk factors, they played a big part. Those risks are there, and so are the extra time it will take for Jones to develop his overal game.
They're very close, and these are probably the things that separated them.
It's completely logical that if you think both players are very close, but one is much harder to map out due to his position, and will take an extra few years to have the kind of impact the forward would at his position, than you'd probably lean toward the forward.
As for comparisons they're always a joke. No two players are very similar. The comparisons are only made to give people who have no idea who the prospects are, an idea of what kind of playing style they have.
http://insider.espn.go.com/nhl/blog/_/name/custance_craig/id/9420707/2013-nhl-draft-patrick-roy-avs-acknowledge-d-woes-lean-towards-mackinnon
Can't read the whole article because I don't have ESPN Insider, but figured this is what people would talk about anyway.
Good mock, a couple of questions.
It seems like you're not that high on Petan, is that just because of his size?
And lately I've seen some Mocks that have Robert Hagg falling past the Avs in the 2nd round...if he's there do you change your viewpoint on who the Avs should take at that point?
If we pick first, we're taking Mac. Second, Drouin. Third, Barkov.
Defense is a big area of need.
"You can always find good defensemen," Roy said. "They take a little bit more time to develop. Honestly, look at a guy like Chara -- sometimes a good stay at home defenseman or a good puck mover -- it's not necessarily a guy who will be drafted in the top five."
No intentions of trading O'Reilly. He's one of the hardest workers on the team. He's hoping to sit down with him and see if he would be okay with playing on Duchene's wing.
Mentioned that Sakic and Forsberg occasionally played on the same line.
Would be surprised to see Stastny traded. He loves Denver, team guy.
Regarding the first overall:
"We have received different type of offers that are very interesting," Roy said. "We feel that if we could get something in return that's going to make us better, we will. We have to do what's best for our franchise. Our fans are trusting us."
It's unlikely yes, but I think he's definetely got potential or upside for it. I don't think we have seen the best of Duchene yet. He can still improve a lot.

Wow that's actually very interesting.
This confirms the Nucks did have Hishon ranked in the 1st round (25). You can see his name on the list at 1:35.
