Ok, you've got him inside top 20, I've got him outside top 20...let's say $10We should make a friendly wager.

Perfect.Ok, you've got him inside top 20, I've got him outside top 20...let's say $10
I'm calling it now....he's going 20th.Perfect.
If Dragicevic isn’t top 20 in bobs final poll, I’ll eat my hat.Dragicevic will go late 1st, early 2nd and I'm hoping that we can move some of our 3rd draft capital to get back into the 2nd and draft Daniil But
7 - Dvorsky
11 - Honzek (I had Danielson there, but I keep forgetting that I'm in awe of Honzek and think he's going to be Jason Robertson)
39 - Dragicevic or Bonk
2 of those guys are already in the NHL, and I don't know if you noticed Jakey but this is a thread about prospects.We have quantity over quality. Until they play in the NHL we have no idea what we have.
Loved his play at the prospects game. He is a name I can see with the Senators pick. Fantastic skater from what I saw. Plays fast and has been aggressive whenever I have watched him (albeit only a few games and some WHL highlights).Have any of you guys looked into Riley Heidt? He’s now 5th in WHL scoring. Kinda surprised he’s ranked in the 20s…
Who is your 7th?As of right now, I count 7 guys who are widely expected to go top ten. This draft has a clear top 7.
If we end up with the 8th or 9th pick, we might get a chance at one of those top 7. I hope we end up with a pick in the top 7, just to ensure it.
This was Bob McKenzies mid-season scouting poll result:Loved his play at the prospects game. He is a name I can see with the Senators pick. Fantastic skater from what I saw. Plays fast and has been aggressive whenever I have watched him (albeit only a few games and some WHL highlights).
Who is your 7th?
Bedard
Fantilli
Carlsson
Mitchkov
Benson

I definitely don't think Reinbacher is going top 10 guaranteed. Is it time for another Lanky bet?Reinbacher. Those 7 are definitely going top 10.
I suspect he's off the board before the 7th pick.
Haha. Gladly.I definitely don't think Reinbacher is going top 10 guaranteed. Is it time for another Lanky bet?
The kid is now up to 70 assists, which is tied with Bedard for the most in the WHL. Also, he is now 4th in dub scoring.
I was at the game - the boys got some skill. Took them a while to start clickilng on some of the fancy plays.
The way this kid is playing he might be in the NHL by 19 like Guenther. You won't have to worry about him in PG.That can change once we get our own ducks in a row development wise. We’ve made improvements but we’re still not near good enough. Fergie needs to revamp Tucson quite a bit, coaching and roster wise.
In the interim, we sort of need to rely on good development programs to do some of the heavy lifting for us.
The good news is that this is the deepest draft since 2015. This draft is way better than last years that it's not even funny.All I have to say is that our scouting staff better be good, because we're outside the top tiers and in the range where there are about 12 guys that could be selected.
Good news is that we're going to get two of those guys, bad news is that we're outside the top tier range.
Why isn't Geekie absolutely dominating this year? With his size, playing with his peers. I haven't watched him play so maybe they have him working on other parts of his game?Dragicevic is currently outscoring Geekie and Mateychuk. He’s only a few points behind Yager and Danielson.
And he’s a 6’2-6’3 right-shot. NHL folks are gonna go nuts for that while independent Twitter scouts fall in love with tiny euros.
It's fine only getting one 1st. but what not is fine is not getting a good prospect because we were too broke to take on money.Thinking about drafting 8th and 9th. Last year that gets us Kasper and Savoie. They would be awesome. The year before, it would’ve been Clarke and Guenther. Also awesome. The year before that, Quinn and Rossi, which would clearly also be awesome.
Funny thing is all the online fans outside of AZ laughing it up saying AZ could NEVER get a Clarke or Savoie level prospect for Chychrun. Then the trade happens and they’re high stepping and chest thumping and crowing about how right they were. Look at what AZ got! They got ONLY a 1st - LOLOLOLOL
As soon as there’s a name on that pick, they’ll sing a different tune. Anyone wanna ask Vancouver fans how they feel about Dylan Guenther?
Just responding to your statement, about our D PROSPECTS.2 of those guys are already in the NHL, and I don't know if you noticed Jakey but this is a thread about prospects.
He has dominated at times, but to be frank I think he got drafted a bit too high. Like I said before, I think Geekie will end up as a good third line center. His acceleration needs quite a bit of work. I see him turning out similar to his brother.Why isn't Geekie absolutely dominating this year? With his size, playing with his peers. I haven't watched him play so maybe they have him working on other parts of his game?
