I think Dickinson, Helenius, or Catton are my biggest hopes. And then fine with any of Iginla, Sennecke, or MBN.
Don’t like the idea of drafting a 3C with a top-10 pick and I question Helenius upside, but I could see him too. That’s less of a value pick though, wouldn’t really like it. Can’t see him going before 10-12.I think Dickinson, Helenius, or Catton are my biggest hopes. And then fine with any of Iginla, Sennecke, or MBN.
Even if Im the first and biggest fan of Nygard, this draft is good. Dont worry about this pick. Other players are interesting and very talented. But I understand your feeling. Its talent, smarts, skating, two way game, shot and huge fit in the same time.Kinda fell for MBN so yea..... i'm on the brink of MBN or bust lol.......
obvi other certain players were to fall, it be understandable for me....
but i'm getting a bit nervous we're not gonna draft the right guy for us lol
I believe most of us will be very happy with Dickinson pick.I get that everyone likes Nygard and he fills a need (neither of which I necessarily disagree with). I just don’t think the FO approaches the draft that way. I expect them to go BPA even if that player is a defenseman or center.
I could see a guy like Dickinson falling and being our pick.
Its life. Doesnt mean Bob is right about potential. It doesnt work this way. But we should be ready Fitz will not draft Nygard. Me personally. Im not waiting it, I think Fitz will draft Iginla or Sennecke or Helenius.Don't know if this was discussed, but for all you Brandsegg-Nygård fans, is it concerning that Bob McKenzie had him all the way down #17? Isn't his ranking some sort of average of NHL scouts and has been scary accurate more than not. Could this mean it's unlikely that MBN gets picked at #10 and should there be concerns that people who do this for a living at the highest level have him so low?
The player type, playstyle and perceived skills and strenghts is just so perfect for Devils.
Anyway if we expect Celebrini, Levshunov, Demidov and Lindstrom to be gone, my wishlist is as follows..
Tier1:
Brandsegg-Nygård, Buium, Catton, Dickinson
Tier2:
Eiserman, Hage, Helenius, Iginla, Silayev
Tier3:
Chernyshov, Emery, Parekh, Sennecke, Solberg, Yakemchuk
Tier4:
The rest
He seems like a poor man’s Nico which isn’t exactly a bad thingDon’t like the idea of drafting a 3C with a top-10 pick and I question Helenius upside, but I could see him too. That’s less of a value pick though, wouldn’t really like it. Can’t see him going before 10-12.
McKenzie had Seider at about that ranking. I think there is a bit of bias against players from non-traditional hockey backgrounds.Don't know if this was discussed, but for all you Brandsegg-Nygård fans, is it concerning that Bob McKenzie had him all the way down #17?

Really? So he's a 4C or maybe a 5C?He seems like a poor man’s Nico which isn’t exactly a bad thing
1st line center! in ahl.
Ducks have Mintyukov and Zellweger on the left. Risky pick.placed a bet on Buium going third, hopefully Marek didnt fail me there lol
Yes this is what I was saying the other day. It’s unlikely they have him high enough to take. It’s possible but not that likely they have him around 6 or 7 in their rankings.Isn't his ranking some sort of average of NHL scouts and has been scary accurate more than not.

Doesnt mean Bob is right about potential.
It is when youre not poor and have the real thing thoughHe seems like a poor man’s Nico which isn’t exactly a bad thing
The answer was in the post. It is reasonable to wait another player to draft by the Devils.I mean it's not Bob, but the NHL scouts, so there should be more weight on it. And the main point I was trying to make was not if he's good or not, but what are the odds he gets picked by Fitz or anyone in top15 if majority of the NHL scouts think he's outside top15?
It’s 10 and I’m pretty sure in the past it’s sounded like or even been referenced as mostly head scouts.Anyway we dont know what kind of scouts Bob asks. Head scouts? Or one of the regular scouts. How many? 32? or 16? or ten?
Yeah that's what I thought too but I could see Zellweger becoming trade bait for them and the odds at +400 were worth a shot lol. It went up to +355 now so who knowsDucks have Mintyukov and Zellweger on the left. Risky pick.
10 head scouts is a big amount of head scouts but still very random thing.It’s 10 and I’m pretty sure in the past it’s sounded like or even been referenced as mostly head scouts.
Silayev was even money under 3.5.placed a bet on Buium going third, hopefully Marek didnt fail me there lol
Ya I don’t know if it’s actually 10 head scouts but I do remember having this conversation in a past year and it had been referenced at least a portion of them being head scouts.10 head scouts is a big amount of head scouts but still very random thing.
