GDT: 2019 IIHF World Championships - Slovakia (Bratislava/Kosice) - May 10th to 26th

[I Eat Crow]

If Spencer Knight is still around in the late second though--you almost have to take him.

He's going to go top 20.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

He's going to go top 20.

I don't know if he goes top 20 but he won't be around for the Dallas pick.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

He's going to go top 20.

I could see him going top 10 tbh.

I think there are a few teams out there that have him ranked very, very high. Honestly, if you take the fact that he’s a goalie out the equation, you could make an argument that he’s a top-5 player in this draft.

I think Edmonton, Vancouver, Minnesota, Florida, Colorado, Vegas, Dallas, Ottawa and Arizona should all look at him. Will they burn their 1st on him is the question?

If our player isn't there, it'd make more sense to trade the pick to one of all the teams who really need a goaltender like Edmonton, Vancouver, Minnesota, Florida, Colorado, Vegas, Dallas, Ottawa and Arizona (as Crow listed). I would add Carolina to that list too. Not sure if they will pony up to retain Mrazek. He's only 26 or 27 but as a UFA, they aren't guaranteed anything. So hypothetically, if Knight drops to 20 and all the guys we have rated high on our (the Rangers staff) list are gone, I could get behind a #20 for #29 + #37 trade down.

Dear JG your two top goalies currently are a 7th rounder and undrafted. Please no goalie picks in 2019.

Please, there's a whole 2nd round to get through - where we have multiple picks - whilst we keep Benny and Gordie hauled up in a cupboard

I don't know if he goes top 20 but he won't be around for the Dallas pick.

I was thinking with the Tampa but he's going to be good--possibly--maybe even probably a top 5 NHL goalie some day.

Georgiev is the best goaltender on the Rangers.

thats probably true.

and that isn't disrespect for hanky.

no you dont.

 

[Inferno]

no you dont.

Best player...Spencer knight is a top ten talent.

 

[Machinehead]

Best player...Spencer knight is a top ten talent.

I honestly don't think you can apply BPA to goalies.

 

[offdacrossbar]

Best player...Spencer knight is a top ten talent.

for skaters yes.

goalies ? eh.

 

[romba]

Projecting a Goalies future success at the NHL draft is like projecting skaters' future success at the CHL draft. Not completely impossible, but why invest the time and energy?
