[ConnorMcMullet]

8 it is. Oh well.

There are guaranteed to be (at least) two of Byram, Dach, Turcotte, Krebs, Zegras, Cozens, Podkolzin available.

Alright, we're at 8 (could've been at 2 if we didn't get that meaningless win against Calgary...)

1. Hughes
2. Kakko

At 8 we're guaranteed one of Byram, Turcotte, Dach, Cozens, Krebs, Zegras at our pick. I'm fine with that

No guarantee we would of had the numbers that won the #2 spot, that's not how these draft lotteries work.

Either way we're getting a good player.

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

One thing to note is that the Blackhawks, who have the 3rd pick, have already got the best defensive prospects in the league. I doubt they pick Byram there.

Maybe Turcotte? Podkolzin?

 

[Joey Moss]

My preference is to trade it. But we're still in a position to get Dach, Turcotte, or Cozens..

 

[ImmuneEH]

Draft Lottery Aftermath:
1. Devils
2. Rangers
3. Blackhawks
4. Avs
5. Kings
6. Red Wings
7. Sabres
8. Oilers
9. Ducks
10. Canucks

Only dropped one spot. This actually went well, considering that we didn't win. LA got bumped out, Anaheim didn't win, and most importantly Vancouver didn't win (they'd take over the pacific if they had both Hughes brothers).

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

You wonder if the pick gets traded with someone like Russell for a roster player.
You could dream Lucic.

Turcotte, I'm betting on it.

He could be their Toews replacement as the 2way stud 1c

 

[McKappa]

My order of preference

Turcotte
Zegras
Byram
Dach
Podkolzin
Cozens

We are guaranteed to get one of these guys, seems like Podkolzon, Byram, and Turcotte most likely won't be there. Anyone other than these guys would be gross

 

[Llamamoto]

Turcotte, I'm betting on it.

I agree. Then the Avs'd probably take Byram.

 

[McDNicks17]

I like 8.

It guarantees we have a shot at a guy I like and it's far enough back that the guys I don't really want will hopefully have been taken.

Give me Turcotte/Dach/Zegras/Krebs.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

1. Devils J. Hughes
2. Rangers K. Kakko
3. Blackhawks A. Turcotte
4. Avs B. Byram
5. Kings T. Zegras
6. Red Wings V. Podkolzin
7. Sabres P. Krebs
8. Oilers K. Dach
9. Ducks D. Cozens
10. Canucks C. Cauffield


That's my guess how the top 10 go.

This. Cozens and Podkolzin worry me, but they should be taken by 8.

One of Turcotte, Zegras, Dach, or Krebs please.

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

I would also be open to trading the pick though.

 

[McDNicks17]

Probably worth noting Turcotte was born about an hour outside Chicago and played there in Midget.

Would be a good fit for them too.

[McIce Whole]

8th + for Hall

 

[MessierII]

Most likely outcome prevails

 

[gordonhught]

Agreed. Do not want the Russian or Cozens.

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

Trade to the Rangers for their other 2 1sts.

Draft McMichael and Tomasino.

My guess/best case scenario:

1. Devils J. Hughes
2. Rangers K. Kakko
3. Blackhawks A. Turcotte
4. Avs B. Byram
5. Kings D. Cozens
6. Red Wings V. Podkolzin
7. Sabres P. Krebs/Zegras
8. Oilers K. Dach

 

[McDNicks17]

Cozens feels like a Kings type of pick to me.

Should put a poll at the top:
Trade the pick
Keep the pick
