The Sens could still acquire some more picks to draft them. They are ranked 150 and 155 for NA Skaters by CSS. I would assume they will be available late in the draft and it wouldn't cost much to acquire the picks to draft them.

So what you're telling me is that we are trading Jakob Chychrun for them?

 

[Burrowsaurus]

With the picks we have/had, we should hope for 3 NHLers

We might not get 3 NHLers from our previous 3 nhl drafts lol. You think we’re gonna get 3 from this one?

He actually meant 3 NHL'ers from each of the last three drafts. ;D

No, I’m saying that with the picks we had, 3 NHLers is a reasonable expectation if you have an average/slightly above average draft. I do think 3 NHLers is reasonable, though.

How so ?

Nah, that’d be a very good draft.

 

[PatrickEaves]

Do you think the current scouting staff ever takes Erik Karlsson?

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Nah, that’d be a very good draft.

With a top 10 pick, another top 40, and three more between 100-140, three plYers would be good, not great

 

[Burrowsaurus]

But judging by our last 3 drafts before this one they’re not above average. We haven’t gotten a single guy yet. And now look like guys that will never ever sniff the nhl

All I'll say is, thank goodness that Stutzle is over 6 feet, otherwise this group may have passed on him at 3rd overall.

Ok, but thats not what I was saying or talking about lol. Its a hypothetical. I am not trying to evaluate our scouts

If we get 3 NHLers, that will be a good draft. If we get less than that, we better hope that the guy(s) who hit are damn good NHLers, or else this will be another mediocre draft. I dont know how it will turn out

The current scouting staff sits back at #18 and takes Luca Sbisa, laughing at the team who takes the tiny shrimp D ahead of their big physical guy, who they had ranked top 10.

Oh I see. It’s not your evaluation of the draft itself.

The exciting part about our draft class this year is that sometimes people can still grow an inch or two taller after the age of 18.

Didn't happen to me.

This scouting staff would speed walked to the podium to make the first overall pick in 2015 when they realized that Dylan Strome is still on the board at 1!

edit: the joke is that strome is a big guy, so they'd take him over McDavid, who was a generational star but only of average stature. Additionally. there are some absurdist elements to the joke, with the scouting staff realizing Strome is still on the board at 1, when in reality, every single prospect is still on the board at 1 because no one has been taken. So the idea that they would be excited at Strome being there adds an absurdist element to the humour.

I'm sorry, could you maybe explain this in more detail, I'm not sure I understand...

I think it's fair to ask if he'd even be on our list.

 

[DJB]

Don Boyd is a dinosaur I think he and the rest of the amateur staff need to go

How do we continually pass up on skill and hockey IQ and not make them a priority?

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Did we have beaudoin ahead of every forward not names celebrini?

 

[PatrickEaves]

The explanation is pretty simple. It's the same explanation my ex gave me. Need more inches.

It will be interesting what happens with this scouting staff, Staois has all summer, all yr really to make changes if he is unhappy with these picks & the kind of players they are drafting. While I expect a change or two, I doubt they clean house in the scouting department but we'll see.

I also suspect that Staois, Poulin, Bowness, Alfredsson & Boyd all had a say on the #1 pick & less as the draft runs along. I'm looking forward to the development camp to see how it is run compared to previous camps. Anyone know dates & times of the Development Camp, I expect it starts July 2.

It's interesting that some are saying that Gabriel Eliasson LD is a lesser version of Silayev in this draft, big 3rd pairing guy, good skater, mean streak & could be insurance if Kleven doesn't work out. With so many Americans on the team we have to ask the question how many want to be here long term or whether they want to go back to the States to play. Yakemchuk seemed pretty pumped to have been drafted by a Canadian team which is nice to hear.

So the idea is that saying we have to add 39 to Greig for Brandon Tanev is over the top, because Greig for Tanev is already an overpayment...wait, wrong post.
