A matter of opinion. 1st overall picks notwithstanding, the top 15 is stronger this year than last. Guys like Simashev, But, Danielson, Willander, Yager, Wood, would likely not go ahead of the guys taken Top 15 this year.
You could argue picks 6-12 will be stronger this year with how desperately Arizona and Vancouver reached for a D, and the respective depth of this year's D class in comparison. I'd argue the forwards you mentioned all belong in the Eiserman/Greentree tier, and I also had Oliver Moore, who slid to 19, higher than all of them.

Probably yes, unless Helenius has a monstrous WC, then they might debate, but its going to be hard to pass on Lindstrom.
Not justba scout among others.

Sennecke is also skilled but pretty soft, like Dach. They play a skill game, they basically never hit and are more east-west kind if players.
Soft and plays upright....will be in for an awakening when he gets to the AHL for whoever takes him. Definitely skilled and talented though.
I wouldnt call Sennecke soft, he is just tall, lanky and needs to fill out. Otherwise he competes hard with the frame he has at that point. I understand the love, the hands/reach and skating combo is pretty attractive, I wish he plays vs London to have more viewings... The more options we have the best.
weird how they both choose Levshunov for Chi and Silayev for Ducks - would be amazing for us.On the lastest NHL mock draft, Kimelman has us picking Demidov and Morreale has us picking Lindstrom.

I wouldn't call Dach soft either. He's no bruiser but he goes to the tough areas.
He does hit... and so did Dach those 8 games he played the last couple years.
Actually, in 2005, it would have been Gilbert Brule if they wanted to go the center route. Or Marc Staal, since they also needed a top D. I still remember, Kopitar had too many question marks just because he's from Slovenia, which had never produced an NHL player I think. In 2016, the talk was all about Logan Brown or Tyson Jost. I still remember like yesterday. Even when Timmins was at the podium and mentioned the Windson Spitfires, I thought they have taken Logan Brown (who played with Sergachev together in Windsor). In 2019, we, as fans, all wanted Caufield (I think) but I had my doubts since the team had a bunch of small players (Gally, Drouin, Tatar, Domi, etc.). In '20, I don't think any of us expected them to draft a D in Guhle.
I can see Hugo offering up our #5 + Mesar for CLB #4.. at this point it is imperative we target Lindstrom.
No way the Bluejackets make that trade, it will take a better add than Mesar.
Well, they probably have a good idea of what they get in Lindstrom if the injuries are not an issue going foward and thats a pretty enticing package of skills and power, but there are others kids they have to considere, Helenius has a WC in front of him to prove he belongs in the discussion, up to him to do the most out of it.
only if they want Lindstrom... if they don't they will still get the player they want(ed) by swapping with us.
