LA Kings Have Two Players In Their Crosshairs For 2nd Overall Draft Pick

Mark Yannetti is in his third season with the Kings and second as Co-Director of Amateur Scouting.

Maybe I am reading too much into his commentary but I got the impression that he is higher on Stutzle than Byfield. I kind of got the impression that he may have a few more prospects ranked ahead of Byfield as well.

Combining this commentary with the fact that the Kings didn't interview Byfield and the Kings management/coaching ties to Germany really gives me the impression that they will be taking Stutzle. So it looks like there is a petty good chance that the Sens will get Byfield.

Not sure how anyone would know the Sens list number by number, if you did, someone very high up from their front office isn’t doing their job right. They haven’t even had their final draft meetings yet, though they certainly have a list made. Would have to be very close with a Sens scout or upper management, and they’d have to have shown a list. Possible I guess, there likely are guys like backdoorpass here (very, very likely not as in the loop as he was) who became a scout for the team and had very, very, very high connections, though he usually shone a light on guys in the later rounds like Aneloski without saying anything about our rankings.

Knowing they are high on certain players I buy, but someone knowing the Sens list 3 months out I find hard to believe, though possible I guess. If it’s true he certainly can’t reveal his source for obvious reasons, but we’d get nothing outside of his word without a Mod vetting.

Backdoorpass is a scout ? Shiiit

well let’s see if we can’t get some more details out of Dingle.
 
Any chance the Sens take Villeneuve with the De Blois/SJ Seadogs connection?

Not a lot of scouts seem to be high on him but he feels like a Sens pick. He won't be racking up points but I could see him being a good, stabilizing partner for someone like Brännström in the future. His skating definitely needs work but I don't see him as a bad skater he just needs to spend some time working on his skating mechanics. Bernard-Docker, Thomson, and Villeneuve would be a solid group of complimentary, transitional RD with Chabot, Brännström, and Wolanin holding down the left side.

De Blois was with Shawinigan for Villeneuve’s entry draft, though he still knows all of the Sea Dogs staff, and likely had Villeneuve 1-2 in front of Bourque.

He'd be a very solid pick in the second round. Seems like a leader; lead his team in points as a defenseman.

well classic Burrowsaurus analysis here but, i think villeneuve looks really weird on the ice. skating, stickhandling. Benning looks smoother, and i like that bennings has almost identical points to Cale Makar playing in the same league in his draft year (guilty of stat watching). but we did tatke JBD out of there two years ago,

Have not watched the AJHL at all. Carter Savoie interests me out of that league. Have not seen any film on either of them.

I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about the draft and I’ve wrapped my head around the fact that LA will pick Stutzle and we get Byfield as our future 1C.

But in the event LA picks Byfield, I’m still going to be ecstatic about getting Stutzle. The kid is a combination of hard work, skill and determination to be the best. Yes, I would be beyond ecstatic to add Byfield, but adding Stutzle extreme skill to the team will be so exciting and I think he will mesh perfectly with the players we already have in the system

I can’t believe we’re in this position. Literally a win win.

If we go the FF route and we get both Stutzle and Raymond.

Stutzle-Brown-Batherson
Tkachuk-Norris-Raymond
Formenton-White-Brown

Could be good but so much inexperience and no #1 C

Stuetzle could very well fill that role, Norris and White are good candidates to slide to the wing as well. I still see potential to be a #1 C in Brown myself, but no guarantee to be one by any means.

The reality is though that the inexperience will be there no matter what, we are going to draft two high end guys, and we have a lot of guys currently ready to make the jump. They got to get experience at some point, but we do need a bit of a vet to guide them along the way.

Elite Prospects Draft ranking vid .. has some interesting things to say about Kleven. One of them said .. Kleven could be a bottom pair guy that keeps getting trotted out there because he's big despite getting completely shellacked in shot attempts every time he goes out there.

Now if that doesn't sound like a tailor mad Dman for the Sens I don't know what does.

Will be interesting to watch his development at UND .

Still listening .. haven't got to Shakir yet so that should be fun
 
finally a video on Topi Niemela out draftdynasty just posted it. read some very good reviews on him but video is really hard to find.

Looks like adecent option. Aragorn wont like him though lets put it that way.
