2016 NHL Entry Draft Discussion.

[Lehner]

Jost is like lazar? like lazar before the nhl i mean?

Jost has puck handling skill Lazar dreams of having.

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

Jost has creativity and playmaking that Lazar dreams of having.

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

Holy is Fabbro ever good or what. Dude is like a machine on the ice.

I hope to god we don't try to outsmart ourselves and try to take Gauthier or something. A very good player is guaranteed to be available to us at 12.

Matthews
Laine
Pulju
Tkachuk
Chychrun
Dubois
Juolevi
Sergachyov
Nylander
Keller
Jost
Fabbro
Brown

These are all top 10 talents and one of them will fall to us. Seems like it would come down to Keller, Jost, Fabbro and Brown.

We desperately need creativity and vision in our top six and Keller and Jost would fit that.
But getting Fabbro would make give us the best potential D corps in the league AINEC.

Chabot-Karlsson
Phaneuf-Ceci
Methot-Fabbro

absolutely beautiful.

Jost is like lazar? like lazar before the nhl i mean?

No. Jost is a much better offensive player.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Mcleod not doing himself any favours this tourny so far.

 

[Icelevel]

No. Jost is a much better offensive player.

yeah he seems to be more skilled and creative. but lazar did score 40 no?
Anyway, I'm not informed enough to make the comparison, just a thought I had.

 

[BondraTime]

They are so stylistically different you can't compare them offensively. Lazar was a man in a junior league, he scored by being a hard working, physical specimen who could skate, shoot and score dirty goals.

Jost can dish the puck, skate it in the zone fluidly and button hook to create space for him and teammates. Looks like the pucks on a string. He reminds me a lot of David Krejci.

 

[Icelevel]

^ok. You have answered my question. Not a good comparison.

 

[Tuna99]

Really hope they go with a skilled forward, I feel like if they go D we may be a little to St Louis Blues, if they do go D it'll have to be Chychrun or Juolvei - a LD that can play top 4 with Chabot. In 3-4 years when Methot retires and Dion is well aged and the kids are ready:

Juolvei - EK
Chabot - Ceci
Englund - Dion
Jarros

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

I'd really like a skilled forward (Nylander, Keller, Jost, Brown)
I do not want (Gauthier, Mcleod, Jones)
If the Sens opt for a D and pick Sergachev, Bean or Fabbro I would be ok with it.

[PierresGabriels]

Obviously everyone wants a skilled forward who pans out and scores glorious playoff goals throughout his career. Unfortunately, skilled players don't always pan out. This is true of any player type though.

I just want the Sens to get the best player possible. The player who will give us the very best shot at Ws and a Lord Stanley's Mug.

Assuming none of the guys earmarked for the top ~8 (+ McLeod) fall to us at 12, I'd be happy with any of the following:

Brown - Massive centres who can put up points are very very rare. If he pans out, he will be an incredibly useful player for winning games.

Fabbro - This D has grown on me recently. Really sounds like he has some offensive punch and can do it all. Dion and Methot are getting older and things simply move too fast in this league to say, "we're set on D"

Keller - Seems like a bit of a gamble on the small skilled guy, but he seems like he can be a catalyst for our offense down the road.

Basically this. Seeing as we still don't know whether the Dorion regime will abide by the strict anti-Russian policy, I really hope Sergachev goes before us to push one of those forwards down. The way I see it, teams that have either explicitly said they'd like a D or could probably use one:

-Edmonton
-Vancouver
-Winnipeg
-Arizona
-Buffalo
-Montreal?

Worst case scenario for me would be if Matthews, the Finns, Dubois, Tkachuk, Nylander, Chychrun, Juolevi, Keller, Jost and Brown (in some order) were the top 11. I would settle for Bean or Fabbro, but I don't see us taking Sergachev.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Yea i think we can get an excellent player at 12. Possibly even package it should a young star be available.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Keller - Seems like a bit of a gamble on the small skilled guy, but he seems like he can be a catalyst for our offense down the road.

Keller just passed 2 small skilled guys (Phil Kessel and Patrick Kane) to become the highest scoring player in US U18 history.

Keller also became the third player ever to reach the 100-point mark for the U.S. Under-18 team. Now at 101, he trails just Kane (102) and Kessel (112) in single-season points.

He does not play small.

 

[Sensinitis]

What happens if we win the lottery?

 

[Sensinitis]

I'd love Pulju. He would fit our needs perfectly and would be able to slot in instantly.

I know how good Matthews/Laine are and that they're better but just following team needs.

Hoffman-Zibanejad-Puljujarvi
MacArthur-Turris-Stone
Smith-Pageau-Ryan

No. This team needs a C or LW way more than a RW.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

No. This team needs a C or LW way more than a RW.

Matthews would be a massive upgrade, So would Laine

 

[Sensinitis]

No. This team needs a C or LW way more than a RW.

This team definitely doesn't need a C, so there's that.

And Pulju fits the top 3 two way forward that Dorion describes better than Laine, imo.

Either way I wouldn't complain getting Laine

This teams desperately needs Matthews. Same goes for most NHL teams.

I just hope he's not describing Gauthier

 

[BondraTime]

I just hope he's not describing Gauthier

I feel pretty confident that the Sens aren't considering him barring any huge mindset changes this season (which doesn't seem likely considering his season)

 

[Unparalleled2021]

I feel pretty confident that the Sens aren't considering him barring any huge mindset changes this season (which doesn't seem likely considering his season)

For what reason? Genuinely curious... I don't want the Sens to take him.

 

[BondraTime]

For what reason? Genuinely curious... I don't want the Sens to take him.

I heard LAST YEAR the Sens weren't huge fans. Take that for what it's worth. It wasn't from anyone in the Sens org. unlike what I heard on Chabot, but second hand, so definitely less reliable.

 

[Jerrico]

This team definitely doesn't need a C, so there's that.

What? This team absolutely needs a centre.

Take a look at the last 10 cup-winning teams.

How many of them had Turris/Zib quality centres on the first line? (rhetorical question - the answer is none).

If we won the lottery and passed on Matthews, I would get a bottle of whiskey, find a dark room, and sit in the corner for a long, long time.
