I have been saying this for months now Desnoyers will have a solid NHL careerI think Desnoyers is the guy everyone at the top of the draft is going to regret not taking 5 years from now

Wrong please see the SHL defenseman of the year.If you move Lohrei, all else aside, you lose the only defenseman capable of running a competent power play on your roster.
I believe if he’s there they are taking him - both Neely & Sweeney went to U18 saw him dominateMartin's PPG in the second half of the season was better than anyone but Misa's, right?
with the recency bias the NHL GM's have you know these playoffs have knocked guys like Hagens and OBrien down a bit and the big winger and centers move up. Martin will surely be overdrafted, I am thinking Chicago who have lots of smaller forwards over the past few drafts.I believe if he’s there they are taking him - both Neely & Sweeney went to U18 saw him dominate
I don’t think he gets by Utah though
That’s where I am today 11 days away
Lou, if Schaefer & Mesa went 1 and 2 who you take with Chicago ?with the recency bias the NHL GM's have you know these playoffs have knocked guys like Hagens and OBrien down a bit and the big winger and centers move up.

If the Bruins played it out the likely end up 13-16 and in the Bear rangeShaefer
Misa
Hagens
Obrien
desnoyers
Martin
McQueen
Frondell
Eklund
Aitcheson
This is my top 10
Notable mention Bear and Eklund.
I like some of the guys projected between 10-15. That’s why I’d move zacha for the 15 pick. Vancouver needs a centre that’s nhl ready bad. They have to show Quinn Hughes they can win. Zacha should be their target.If the Bruins played it out the likely end up 13-16 and in the Bear range
I’ll be curious who was there
I would not deal Zacha for futures if it hurt my presentI like some of the guys projected between 10-15. That’s why I’d move zacha for the 15 pick. Vancouver needs a centre that’s nhl ready bad. They have to show Quinn Hughes they can win. Zacha should be their target.
I didn’t like Lohrei d this year. He only played a year full time. Im wiling to see if there is improvement this yearAbsolutely if they would do this. For all the joking around here about age, Lohrei is already 24/25 years old and incompetent defensively and leveraging his size. A larger Krug, where Krug at least gave effort defensively.
Lou, if Schaefer & Mesa went 1 and 2 who you take with Chicago ?
I’d go Desnoyers
Feel free to disagree we have on guys in the past and more times then not you proved correct
I think the Hawks pick one of Frondell or Martone.Lou, if Schaefer & Mesa went 1 and 2 who you take with Chicago ?

That's pretty much where I'm at too. I'm really not sold on O'Brien.1A - Frondell
1B - Desnoyers
2nd - Hagens
3rd - Martin
4th - McQueen
5th - Eklund/Obrien
Thats my preference for who the B's should take obviously not counting Misa.
Mason is so overrated offensively its laughable, I'd move him in a heartbeat.Wrong please see the SHL defenseman of the year.
Makes sense I can see that - Frondell offers position flexibilityI think the Hawks pick one of Frondell or Martone.
Nazar will settle in as their #2 center now, they need a winger with some size that can score.
100 percent. If the dude wore any other jersey he would be mocked in here as a complete liability who doesnt outscore his mistakes.Mason is so overrated offensively its laughable, I'd move him in a heartbeat.
His D game is so bad whatever he produces offensively is worthless
have you watched O`Brien play?That's pretty much where I'm at too. I'm really not sold on O'Brien.
He and Ethan Czata are ranked close by McKeen's draft guide. I would be happy with either. Martin and either one of those two would make me pretty happy on draft day, if they don't move the pick for immediate help which is my first choice.I would not deal Zacha for futures if it hurt my present
I would be as stunned if Zacha was traded - he’s a veteran who can play multi positions and both specialty teams
If I’m getting 15 I want it expanded to include Connor Garland
If I’m Don Sweeney why am I subtracting a good player for a pick that logically won’t be around for 2-4 years
It’s like asking to be closer to being fired
I put it at 1% without a guy like Garland coming back
Btw - what a bummer no Bruins 2 rounder traded to Detroit
SHANE VANSAGHI is my favorite non 25 pick in this draft ~ @Fenian24 go check him out
If Boston ever walked away with Frondell & Vansaghi or Martin & Vansaghi I’d have to go on meds to calm down
I would def go Desnoyers or Martone. Could see Martin. Nazar, Moore and Bedard all on the smaller side.Lou, if Schaefer & Mesa went 1 and 2 who you take with Chicago ?
I’d go Desnoyers

0.0 truth behind that.Mason is so overrated offensively its laughable, I'd move him in a heartbeat.
His D game is so bad whatever he produces offensively is worthless
If they want a very solid #2 center, then he's the one they should select. That would set them at the 1-2 center positions for 15 years.Lou, if Schaefer & Mesa went 1 and 2 who you take with Chicago ?
I’d go Desnoyers

Let the coaches work on his defensive game, he has a chance to be elite offensively IMO.
