Florida loses and we can end up with any 2 of these guys.

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

Man if we can stay top 5.

Having a sure chance at one of

Fantilli, Carlsson, Smith, Dvorsky is f***ing wow. i doubt Fantilli or Carlsson are the faller to 5 but you never know.

I believe we have high odds of getting a top 6 player and legitimate odds of a superstar with any of those guys.

Even being 7 would be OK if we add Benson, Reinbacher to the discussion. Moore, Leonard, Perreault.

Jesus f***ing christ thats insane.

Ya staying top 5 is key if Michkov isn’t on our board. There’s a tier drop after that.

That next group is huge though and I think we get someone from that group at 17.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

True... but we will calm down soon. I also feel like Smith has been pumped too high and Moore not enough... hopefully the real scouts are more level headed than us!!



Button loves him... for what it's worth...

Smith has far better hands than Moore, and I've been pumping Moore all year. Smith's skill level is outstanding.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Everyone wants Reinbacher to pair with Hutson, but what about APS to pair with Guhle? Neither are in my top 7, but I’d take either at 17 though neither will make it there.

I wouldn't be against it. I'm not Hutson's biggest fan and it would make him expendable.

 

[Nona Di Giuseppe]

Drafting Michkov can turn out to be a wasted pick...not worth rolling the dice...I prefer Fantilli, Carlsson, Smith, Leonard or Reinbacher.

you aren't serious?

having actually watched Reinbacher, there is absolutely no world where anyone should take him over Michkov.

Reinbacher's odds of becoming a wasted pick are probably the same as Michkov never coming to the NHL.

So, yeah, you take the on that has the potential to be a star. I don't even see Reinbacher have potential to be a number 1, let alone a good number 1.

Man the over hyping of Reinbacher because he's a RHD is pretty laughable at this point. He's a decent grab around the 12 mark, but absolutely not top 7.

 

[Sam de Mtl]

I'd love to end up with Dvorsky and Salé. Both these players impressed me a lot last year and have good size. Admittedly, I haven't been able to watch either of them this year, so it is all to be taken with a grain of salt.

 

[Nona Di Giuseppe]

Reinbacher also does things that wins cups.

Reinbacher has NHL skating in a sub par league and it's giving this illusion he's Seider 2.0, when he's Seider lite. Where are you even getting this from ?

 

[calder candidate]

Matthew Wood might be worth the 37th, really not sure about that though.

Wood might slip but he will be closer going to closer to 17th than 37th…

I think he was being sarcastic regarding the slipping to 37th...
No way Wood makes it past 12. I think he goes 5-9.

Everyone wants Reinbacher to pair with Hutson, but what about APS to pair with Guhle? Neither are in my top 7, but I’d take either at 17 though neither will make it there.

I want Reinbacher to pair with Guhle TBH. If I’m in a playoff series I want those two out there 30 mins a game.

I don’t see the point of ASP when you have Hutson and Mailloux in the system. You’re essentially drafting a defenceman to maybe play your PP2 since his offensive upside isn’t the same. And his defensive upside isn’t as high as Guhle/Engstrom/Barron. I think he’s just redundant.

Obviously I wouldn’t always draft based on who is currently in the prospect pool, but at 17 there’s so many names available that I don’t think he’s going to be the clear BPA.

No matter how people rank them, we'll get a good player who's fallen. Keep the pick!

 

[WinterLion]

Smith has far better hands than Moore, and I've been pumping Moore all year. Smith's skill level is outstanding.

Yep Smith has more skill and is better overall I'd say... but you can certainly see why some people fall in love with Moore..

 

[Naslund]

No matter how people rank them, we'll get a good player who's fallen. Keep the pick!

No, the pick will be traded for Dubois.

 

[dackelljuneaubulis02]

From what I’ve seen of Dvorsky I’m not super high on him. He does look fairly KK like. I think he’s a winger. Wouldn’t hate it but I wouldn’t be super excited. Wouldn’t take him over Reinbacher anyways

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Yeah its actually pretty hilarious. Bunch of knee jerks.

Dude, you're knee jerking over Wood against f***ing Slovakia! He played a great game, but it's Slovakia.

TC as a whole got absolutely trashed by Sweden twice.

Talk about recency bias.

 

[Seb]

Dvorsky has two major things KK hasn't : a lethal shot and lower body strength.

Dvorsky is a much better prospect.

 

[Hins77]

Im wondering why Matthew Wood is so low on many list. He has outproduced Brady Tkachuk in the same league (H-east). Best player of his team at 18 yo. . He is also a big frame guy, but doesnt seem to be very physical.

 

[1000eeer]

Which players hurt their draft stock during the U18?

Which players improved their draft stock during the u18?

Begin...

 

[NewEraGM]

If will smith is on the board when the habs pick at 5th or 6th, I really don’t think we pass on him. High upside, Hughes knows him super well…

I always get scared drafting Europeans except for Swedes. I feel like it never really works out…

Ya I wasn’t sure… but I can see him slipping out of the top 12 but if he doesn’t it won’t be slip much further…

Ya I kind of get it.

 

[NewEraGM]

So many good players going to be available at 17 as well. Hope for a Florida loss tonight.

If the top 5 goes as expected…
Barlow, Wood, Benson, ASP, Perreault, Moore, Reinbacher, Dvorsky, Leonard, Yager…

2-3 of these should be available at 17.
