Fair point. I think they need hockey sense as much as size.
Sennecke has that. He has both.

Not Catton level. Just my opinion. Anyway, it's probably moot because my guess is that Sennecke goes top 10.Sennecke has that. He has both.
I love Sennecke and he's all upside as a prospect, I'm just more enamored with HeleniusSennecke has that. He has both.
If that how it unfolds as much as I want Yakemchuk gonna have to go with Catton. No way can pass on him at 11.
1 Macklin Celebrini 2 Ivan Demidov 3 Anton Silayev 4 Artyom Levshunov 5 Cayden Lindstrom 6 Sam Dickinson 7 Zayne Parekh 8 Zeev Buium 9 Konsta Helenius 10 Tij Iginla 11 Berkly Catton 12 Carter Yakemchuk 13 Cole Eiserman 14 Beckett Sennecke 15 Trevor Connelly
Bob's new list.
I really want San Jose to win, and Chicago to fall as much as possible.Just like last year, going to request of the hockey gods that Ottawa and especially Montreal do not win the top pick tomorrow night. I'd rather drop a few spots ourselves than Celebrini end up with a rival.
San Jose or CBJ winning would be great. I'm rooting hardest for San Jose and Utah.I really want San Jose to win, and Chicago to fall as much as possible.
I don't think Silayev or Lindstrom get anywhere close to 11. Both could realistically go in the top 5.I think there's a real good chance for Helenius at 11. And I'd be fine with that, would be a great pick.
But Helenius is my 12th, and would take Silayev/Lindstrom/Yakemchuk over him.
I'm pretty confident we will be picking one of those 4 players at 11

Wow, I think this is a wrong opinion, but I’m a big fan of Simashev. Simashev, at Silaev’s age, still played in the juniors, and Silaev had a very good season in the KHL. He's huge with great skating and defensive play. This is literally exactly the defender we need. Silayev also plays for Torpedo, and Larionov works there, who does an excellent job of developing young players. If by some miracle Silayev were available at 11, grab him and run.I don't think Silayev is the same level prospect as Simashev and would be surprised if he goes top6.
Not a chance he makes it past Calgary imo.I know we don't need forward prospects, but I'd love to land Iginla! He looks a lot like his dad. Big time player.
Likely not. My pick however.Not a chance he makes it past Calgary imo.
I loved Mike Grier so much as a player. So happy for him, he's in a really rough spot as the GM over there. I hope he can pull magic out of a hat (is that a saying?) and turn things around quickly so that I can have another underdog franchise to root for.
That rarely happens in the NHL draft. Although, 11OV is the most traded slot in the past decade.I think they should trade back into the lower teens or early twenties, and flip the additional assets they receive for bottom six players.
11. Buffalo Sabres: Cole Eiserman, W, USNTDP
The Sabres should make this pick available in trade discussions this summer. They need to upgrade their NHL roster in what could be a make-or-break season for general manager Kevyn Adams. Their prospect pool is loaded with talent already, so the Sabres could afford to move the pick for a proven NHL player. That said, there are a couple of attractive options in this scenario. Defenseman Carter Yakemchuk was a strong consideration, but Cole Eiserman’s goal-scoring talent was too much to pass up. The rest of his game needs work, which is why he’s available at this spot, but Eiserman has the type of scoring ability that could make him a top-line NHL winger. That’s a chance worth taking for Buffalo. — Matt Fairburn
