I believe Ottawa’s worst case scenario is picking 5th and 6thSo what's the best chance for us to not look like complete losers w/r/t Ottawa? What's the lowest the sharks/Ottawa pick can be?
Is a scenario like this possible?
Buffalo wins lottery, Detroit second, Ottawa 3rd (own pick)?
Thanks, fingers crossed for that outcomeI believe Ottawa’s worst case scenario is picking 5th and 6th

Marat guy has been getting more hype recently. Seems like may not be a reach anywaysPronman's 2020 NHL Draft Board: Top 122 prospects
Pronman prospect rankings. Made me remember I want Marat Somethinov and Evangelista still.
This guy has a bunch of draft profiles in this thread too.
I’m not sure it would be, is the tier of 26-31 that much better than at 34? As far as I can tell not really. I do like both those picks though if they are optionsWheeler: The curious case of diminutive 2020 NHL Draft...
But, if they could package the 2 2nds to move into the first, that might be the better move.
I would not be very happy if we took him with our first, as I think his stats are pretty inflated given the quality of the team around him, though I do think London does a good job of developing guys at every skill levelI’m likely in the minority but I wouldn’t even mind taking Evangelista with the late first as I think he is much better than his ranking would suggest, however in a perfect world it would be Foerster with the late first and Evangelista with the early second. Khusnutdinov would be an adequate substitute should that not come to fruition.
I think in some other draft years, you could argue for an Evangelista level player to go early in the 2nd but I feel like that 20-50 range is a tad crowded this year. I imagine not having any playoffs or WCs made it tough for that range of players to really separate themselves.I’m likely in the minority but I wouldn’t even mind taking Evangelista with the late first as I think he is much better than his ranking would suggest, however in a perfect world it would be Foerster with the late first and Evangelista with the early second.

Agreed, London has a tendency to pump out prospects that contribute in some form at the NHL level. Foerster is definitely my guy though, nothing I don’t like about his game.I would not be very happy if we took him with our first, as I think his stats are pretty inflated given the quality of the team around him, though I do think London does a good job of developing guys at every skill level
Tbh all I have is scouting profiles but it sounds like he could be a strong top 6 player if things pan out. Hard working player, good skater, good puck skills, good defensively, and huge hockey IQ but he's only 5'10" and the actually production is just alright. Someone was comparing it to how Aho was viewed at the time where his profile is to die for but his size made him a question mark.Forester would be a solid pick-up with the late first. I think the only real knock on him is skating and that never scares the Sharks away. They might be able to scoop him up with their early second too.
I think the org takes a long look at Ridly Greig in the 2nd round as he has the potential to become a skilled pest.
If Hendrix Lapierre is available in the late first, he might be too hard to pass up as a boom-bust prospect. Would you rather gamble on Lapierre or Nybeck?
Would love to hear more opinions on Marat. Is he more of a skilled 3C or 2C?
I think it’s like 25 but it would take 4 teams lower In points% than Tampa Being in the conference finals, which would push Boston and St. Louis down first and then Tampa.What is the lowest the Sharks can pick in Tampa loses in the 1st round? Sorry if this has been asked, didn't see it.

I forgot about that, I wonder if that seeding impactS picksThis playoff is such a horrible choice for the draft.
Tampa can still finish top seed in the east lol or they can finish 4th in the east. Depending on the play in games.
