Great postPeople talk about BPA like it's an objective truth. Clearly NHL team lists vary, sometimes wildly. BPA is subjective to a good degree, and position may be one factor in the way a team sees BPA.
Chaz Lucius to Ottawa in a close one.

The sharks won’t pick him, they don’t pick goaliesWallstedt does not go by the Red Wings (Yzerman picked Vassy) if he does the Sharks take him (if he truly is as NHL ready as they say) And lastly the Kings need nothing in a loaded prospect pool except a top goalie prospect.
Unfortunately we had a bunch of votes for Lucius by fans from other teams. Last week we ran a poll and Sillinger came ahead of Lucius.
Oh well.

I noticed that on your boards as an observer - guys creating accounts to ensure Ottawa took Lucius so their guy would be available - as if that's going to manifest in real life. How incredibly lame.
And the funny thing is that the difference between Sillinger and Lucius as prospects is negligible.Last week's results:
Sillinger 35
Lucius 30
This week's results:
Sillinger 28
Lucius 29
Number of voters who voted Sillinger in both polls: 8
Number of voters who voted Lucius in both polls: 7
Number of voters who voted Sillinger last week but Lucius this week: 2
Number of voters who voted Lucius last week but Sillinger this week: 2
--------------------
Both polls were relatively close. Sillinger only won with 53.8% of the votes in the first poll, Lucius won with 50.9% of the votes in the second one. Out of 65 voters in the first poll, only 19 returned to vote in the second one.
Can't believe I went through the effort to figure this out, but the point is this. It appears to be close between Sillinger and Lucius – according to Sens fans on the Sens board. When you run a second poll with a relatively small sample that includes very few participants of the first poll, there's a fairly high chance that the outcome will be different. It really doesn't look like someone created a bunch of fake accounts to sabotage this meaningless (sorry) mock draft.
And lastly the Kings need nothing in a loaded prospect pool except a top goalie prospect.
I appreciate all of your work @Hasbro but I think you should use Bob's rankings. Those Eliteprospects rankings gives too many random names that no one is going to vote. I mean guys like Evan Nause and Zach Dean, but you don't have guys like Lambos, Bolduc and Coronato.
#20
Oilers have a lot of holes to fill, 2 Top 6 wingers, Middle Pairing Defenseman, clear #1 goalie prospect so they likely go BPA, maybe favour picking up a forward.
Possibilities
- Aatu Raty
- Matthew Coronato
- Carson Lambos
- Isak Rosen - I think is an interesting prospect at 20
A good point. Heimosalmi and Svechkov should definately go higher. On the other hand I'm not sure how much one tournament changes rankings for guys like Rosen and Othmann.And then Bob's rankings are also looking pretty dated since the U-18s. Heimosalmi at #140? Svechkov at #30? They could go top 15! Rosen and Othmann are also decent candidates to go top 15.
This year there's no way to do it without a lot of names.
Yeah, Rosen would be my top pick. He looks to have good offensive upside with a great one timer. I think if the Oilers are going to have success they'll need Draisaitl to centre his own line. I think Rosen could stack up well with Drats or McDavid in the future.For the Oilers I'd prefer Rosen. They're all good candidates to me except Lambos. I think if all goes well you might get a second pair guy out of him and there's more upside in other players available. The Oilers especially aren't short on LD in that vein.
Is it the Flyers turn yet or...?
Wallstedt does not go by the Red Wings (Yzerman picked Vassy) if he does the Sharks take him (if he truly is as NHL ready as they say) And lastly the Kings need nothing in a loaded prospect pool except a top goalie prospect.
