If there were someone at 7 that Buffalo wanted, I wonder if they would give Peterka + the 9th pick for the 7th pick?
Came here because Sens are drafting close to us and I was curious how you guys are gauging this class but didn't intend on posting until I saw this. I wouldn't trade #9 + Peterka for #2, personally and would have to think long and hard if the offer were #1. Seeing as we traded up to snag him, I think the feeling is probably mutual for our GM.

I was shocked when you guys picked Grieg over Peterka after seeing how him and Stu played together, but Greig is a really nice piece himself as well.

Side note: you guys have a stacked prospect/young core coming up, wouldn't be surprised if Sens are very good soon at all.

Appreciate the positivity.

Passing on Peterka when a couple of us were really pounding the table for him is one of our most recent draft blunders.

Could have even had him round 2 but took Jarventie instead whos really done nothing.

Good luck to you guys. You are definitely on the upswing as well :)
 
Are we all watching the playoffs? A 5’8 160 (by the time he gets out of NCAA) pound D would get murdered.
I think this is a faulty way of looking at things.

While I agree Ottawa won’t be looking at Hutson, he’s too skilled, look at what Fox and Makar have done so far in the playoffs.

I don’t think Hutson is done growing yet either, His father is 5’11” and so is his older brother, Quinn.

If you’re not drafting a kid on the basis of that he has yet to fill out his frame, I think you’re doing it wrong. These type of player are still dominating without hitting the weight room much, imagine what they’ll be able to do when they do with the skill set they have. If he does end up growing, he’ll be the same size as Fox and Makar.
 
That's not as far-fetched as some people on here would like you to believe. If Nemec, Cooley are gone (which they most likely will) Savoie is my third choice.
100 points by age 23? While being a strong defensive player? He should probably go #1 overall if that is his NHL comparable.

Here is his hockey DB page in case you forgot.

I actually think Cooley should go #1 overall. Not done with my final ranking yet but I would take Cooley #1.

According to Shane Wright, he deserves to go first overall, and deserves honor. He went on to compare Patrice Bergeron to himself, almost as if Shane Wright is the establised NHL star and Bergeron is a high-profile prospect.

I bet that he has abundant confidence, which is great, but his need for recognition and the importance that he seems to place on being treated like he is the best make me wonder about his attitude.
 
Shane Wright will be point a game player. Cooley will be a major star. Kemell will be a star and better than Wright. If we would draft Peterka at 33, the draft would be an amazing success. Peterka is an "identity" player for playoffs with an unrelenting motor, willing to fight the boards battles. Very hard to play against. Very disruptive It is actually horrible that we have such a weak scouting and a decision making stuff. Absolute last in the league. Not even that Peterka is way better then Greig and will be a first line player, but just for the sake to have another German player on the team. I mean use your f...... brains just once!

He did give off some cocky vibes during the interview at the draft lottery as well.
 
The only thing about Wright that concerns me is the fact he’s had stubble since his OHL draft year as a 15/16 year old.

This makes me think he is more physically developed than someone like Cooley or Slafkovsky, or Lekkermaki and thus is closer to a finished product than those other guys.

It depends on his endpoint… maybe he is destined to be a hairy beast!

I've thought about this point too. Could be an Ekblad situation where he's still a really really good NHLer, but didnt keep developing like some thought he would. I'd want to draft 2 or 3 in this draft tbh.
 
Wow, an upgraded version of Brayden Point even! Some of these NHL comparables are hilarious.
Bro you know what he’s trying to say

Man you start this on topic. And then you start talking about Peterka legit out of nowhere.
 
IMO we are slated to draft Kemell or Lekki. Both still top end options, imo. The real prize is in the top 5, but one of those guys, imo, will be a top line forward.

Moreover, I want us to get Ostlund. That guy did not show what he's truly capable of this year, imo. We needa nab him with our 2nd or trade up for him.

He'll be considered a top 10 pick when looking back a couple years from now.
 
Peterka will be a legit point getter. Watching Juraj Slafkovsky now. He has this Tkachuk's vibe. Big and strong, an excellent passing game, winning boards battles, a better shot, surprisingly even a better skater, still kind of choppy for my liking. Will be a star in this league. Will get at least 60 points in his first year in NHL. I want him badly. He could go first overall to Montreal. They never ever had a power forward like this since John LeClair

I was also one of those who wanted Peterka over Jarventie.

McKenzie's draft lottery ranking update suggested that there's a chance that Jiricek could be available at 7. Wonder if that would change the Sens willingness to deal the pick?

Most likely he goes 6th which would leave Savoie as the highest ranked player remaining. That scenario probably favours a trade as there are plenty of teams that will value him more highly than Ottawa would.
 
Jiricek would be great, should easily be the BPA at 7 and fills an obvious need. Realistically he won't be available.

The more I read the more I like Lekkerimaki. His draft year looks similar to Zibby's both numbers-wise and being late risers. Bit on the small side but impressive goal production at every level he has played this year.

Zibanejad (draft year)
12g, 21pts in 27gp (J20)
5g, 9pts in 26gp (SHL/Elitserien)

Lekkerimaki
20g, 35pts in 26gp (J20)
7g, 9pts in 26gp (SHL)
 
Whoever they draft I hope it’s someone who can hold onto the puck and continue building plays on the O zone like a Marner, Kane, Alfie - O zone pressure and neutral zone puck possession is the biggest need for this team. It’s why I hope they draft savoie

Don’t need shooters, don’t need 2 way guys, they need a high end give and go player who can score
