Frank Nazar
Jack Hughes
Gavin Hayes
Jagger Firkus
David Goyette

Those would be my targets at 22-26 (Our range)
I don’t think the center value is going to be there at those picks but wouldn’t complain. I think the defense value will probably be better at that point. I think a lot depends on if Drury is still obsessed with size at that point or not.

Im sure someone posted this so im sorry for asking again, but does anyone know what our highest possible pick is if we lose this round? 22?
 
Where do you think Wieners come from? LOL

I could have called them Wine-Germany, or Schnitzel-Germany too.

... not from where you call them Frankfurters, that's for sure ;)

For #22 to happen, all the conference final teams must have been behind us in the stands.

"There’s also an update to provide on Ivan Miroshnichenko, a player I had rated as a top 5 pick before he was diagnosed with a serious illness that will keep him out of hockey for a long time. Miroshnichenko was present at the U18s and met with several NHL teams. Following those meetings, several NHL clubs are feeling more optimistic about the prospect of drafting him compared to a month or two ago.

In discussions with Miroshnichenko’s representative Mark Gandler, he confirmed what has been reported by Russian news outlets: that Miroshnichenko was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Gandler also said that Miroshnichenko is in remission. In my last ranking I noted that I felt it was inappropriate to editorialize on Miroshnichenko’s draft stock given the serious medical issues he’s going through and my lack of subject matter knowledge in that area. Given the positive news since, and discussions with Miroshnichenko’s camp — who noted that they do not take offense to the player being discussed in a ranking or mock draft setting — I have reversed this stance, but I will still note that there is a large looming medical analysis question that I am not qualified to engage in. Thus, the analysis will be of a highly talented player, but one who has significantly more risk on his projection since then."

Pronman in his latest rankings. If Miroshnichenko is on the board when we pick, even if there are C's on the board, I think we have to go with him. He was in contention for a Top 3 pick before his Hodgkin's Lymphoma diagnosis

We need another LW like a hole in the head. No thanks.
 
I never want to hear about the Rangers getting lucky in the lottery again. The Devils move up three god damn slots.

This is like the fourth time in their rebuild they've won a lottery.

If you count 2011, sure. I don't consider that part of their rebuild though.

They won in 2017, 2019 and now 2022.
