I ran the simulator once when our position was finalized.

We won 1st OA,

Not touching it again.

Fantilli > Bedard

just kidding

 

[McPhees Moustache]

Would really be a great turn of events if all of these debates end up being useless and a waste of time and we win the lotto by landing the first pick.

But then we can argue why Bedard shouldn't be 1st overall.....

 

[CDN24]

I doubt he slides like his brother did….GM’s know the family pedigree now, he’s gone by early 2nd round

He probably gets taken too high now. That tends to happen PK Suban went what mid 2nd round and established the family pedigree. Malcom went 1st round- in hindsight way too high.

Same with Suzuki bros. Nick went 17th and you have to wonder how much Nicks development and great 2019 OHL playoffs and memorial cup run played into making Ryan a late 1st rounder.

Let's see what Dalibor can do against a weaker team.

 

[NotProkofievian]

DD scores on an open cage. Set up by Pekarcik who had an awesome shift.

 

[NotProkofievian]

Dvo takes an offensive zone penalty and Germany scores on the PP.

 

[NotProkofievian]

Germany is up 2-1, paging Dr. Dvorsky!

 

[WeThreeKings]

DD scores on an open cage. Set up by Pekarcik who had an awesome shift.

I like Pekarcik, he's flashing.

 

[NotProkofievian]

I like Pekarcik, he's flashing.

He's a long shot but might be worth a late pick. I also like Strbak, he moves really well for a big guy.

3-2 Germany, btw.

 

[NotProkofievian]

Kevin Bicker scores a nice goal to put Germany up 4-2. Gut check time for Slovakia. This was after a defensive zone draw, after the Pekarcik line had some scoring chances the shift prior.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

I have liked Strbak pretty much every time I've ever seen him in the past two years. I see definite pro upside in him, maybe not top pairing upside but easy top 4. He has big minutes eating work horse written all over him.

 

[KevSkillz4]

Dvorsky play a good game?

 

[WeThreeKings]

He's a long shot but might be worth a late pick. I also like Strbak, he moves really well for a big guy.

3-2 Germany, btw.

I don't dislike Strbak but the USHL stats are piss poor.. I don't think I'd pay the acquisition cost in the draft for him.

 

[NotProkofievian]

Dvo scores again.

 

[NotProkofievian]

Slovaks smell blood, they're going on the power play. Dvorsky looking lively, trying to make things happen.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Dvo scores again.

Now set someone up with a pass that gets through at least one defender.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Are you watching the game? How?

 

[NotProkofievian]

10 minutes left, what's it going to be Dalibor?

He cleans up the garbage for the tying goal!

 

[Whitesnake]

At 5, would anybody be surprised if the pick isn't Dvorsky or Reinbacher? No matter who is left not named Bedard, Fantilli or Carlsson?

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

Not on Tv unfortunately but sounds like a huge game for Dvorsky.

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

At 5, would anybody be surprised if the pick isn't Dvorsky or Reinbacher? No matter who is left not named Bedard, Fantilli or Carlsson?

My top 6 is Bedard, Fantilli, Carlsson, Michkov, Smith/Dvorsky.

Those are the only guys I’m considering. If we somehow manage to fall to 7 I’d take Benson.

 

[Guy Larose]

At 5, would anybody be surprised if the pick isn't Dvorsky or Reinbacher? No matter who is left not named Bedard, Fantilli or Carlsson?

I would. Heard that Smith has some kind of relationship with Hughes and that he really likes him.

 

[NotProkofievian]

Pekarcik looks injured, after he set up Dvorsky for a nice scoring chance.

 

[1909]

I would. Heard that Smith has some kind of relationship with Hughes and that he really likes him.

He stayed at Hughes' family place at some point.

 

[Whitesnake]

Protect yourself Pekarcik......Love the player but got rocked hard there. Fun player though. Didn't know him at all...

Maybe late hit, but not to the head from what I can see. not sure how you justify 5 mins.
