16:50 minute mark. Mike Rupp hearing that Montreal might not be set with Shane Wright at 1OA.

Getting Jack Hughes after drafting his brother Riley would be hilarious

Otto Salin that late is a joke, not happening. Hughes and Dolzhenkov would be good business, though Hughes doesnt really excite me. Never heard of Dunbar. Definitely want a C at 63 though.

Love it. Salin will not be around that late. Dolzhenkov is a monster. Hughes is a realistic great value pick for us. Dunbar is a good shutdown prospect.

My two main targets that are probably out of range are Ostlund and McConnell-Barker. The two that should be in range that I’ve liked a lot this year are Aleksanteri Kaskimäki and Ryan Greene. Kaskimäki caught my eye from his play at the Hlinka and WJCs where his skating just stood out as world’s better than the rest of his peers. I think he’s similar to the Foudy brothers where their skating will make them pro, and the rest of their development will depend on their puck skills and brain catching up to their feet. Kaskimäki seems to have a safe floor but also some good boom potential.

Greene is similar, and the Rangers will be familiar with him from watching Brody Lamb. He probably will go after his teammate Cam Lund, but they’re both in a similar mold of speedy, two-way centers. I think Greene has the higher hockey IQ and will translate better through college and pro hockey, but Lund is good too.

I agree with most of this. Also props to USHL. Very underrated source of talent. McConnell-Baker is one I would be hoping to drop as well.

I’m not married to center or bust though, not when your first pick is in the 60s. Just need to get BPA T that point

I can't imagine Hughes lasts that long.

#63 Jack Hughes. Where do I sign.

 

[Synergy27]

This seems like an unrealistic haul to me. Any idea where Karabela is going to go?

 

[Clark Kellogg]

Bob McKenzie on the draft and going from a Hockey insider to now being a Hockey outsider.

So NYR can have Hughes brothers, w Jack the younger, while NJD have Hughes brothers w Jack older

 

[Thirty One]

So now I'm thinking that Montreal wants Wright, but they want NJ to think they want Slafkovsky to get them to trade up.

Montreal has like a dozen picks. Don’t think they have much motivation to go down.

I would be very happy if they got Hughes at #63, but I highly doubt he will be there. I think he goes 20-32

16:50 minute mark. Mike Rupp hearing that Montreal might not be set with Shane Wright at 1OA.

I wonder if there's any way to trade up to 3OA.

 

[Ranger Ric]

Gordie Clark was always planning to retire. He actually wanted to retire last year but they gave him a smaller role to keep him on board.

It's interesting that they got rid of Clark's son, but not Davidson's brother and son-in-law.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Bingo.

 

[Clark Kellogg]

Surprised he didn’t stick around till the 9th? Maybe he didn’t want to take the trip up to Quebec.

Hughes bros in NY!

I’m pretty sure Davidson is long gone.

Hard to get into this draft now that the Rangers are out of the rebuild and their draft position.

I mean, it's really the lack of a first. If they trade themselves into a 1st, then it could be a LIT draft.

 

[Clark Kellogg]

San Jose Shark Management take on 2022 NHL draft. Awkward at times.

 

[Clark Kellogg]

Arizona G.M. Bill Armstrong take on preparing for 2022 NHL draft.
Comments on news that Russian players not being allowed to come over.

Yes Marshall Davidson (JD's brother) appears to be gone....but his son in law, Chris Morehouse is still the director of north american scouting

 

[Clark Kellogg]

Does anyone have a line on where you can watch day 2 of the draft in the U.S. this year if you don’t have NHL network? Last year some posted a way that worked and I can’t remember how.
