The draft never goes that chalk, and this one especially probably won’t.
Its based off 10 scouts lists ... for sure a Dman or two will likely jump into the top 10 if we stay at 13 I’d suspect we get a Dman but I wouldn’t be against trading up this year ... I know it’s only Frank seravalli but I was watching mock trade proposals and he seems to think Berggren and Rasmussen have value
if there’s gms out there feeling the same I’d move one to move up 4-5 spots for a O’Brien,mcqueen,hagens if one of thems there and someone bites
Someone posted on the prospects forum a list of Bob's top 10 since 2021 and it looks like two guys Bob has ranked in the top 10 typically drop. Hopefully one is Eklund this time around.
Helps if you can score goals as well. From what I understand both of Nesbitt's line mates outscored him. I'm preparing myself for us to pick him, he'll be irresistible to our NA scouts, particularly if Eklund is taken before the #13 pick.
Reschny would be such a genuinely disappointing pick at 13. I will never understand this boards infatuation with him. Someone explain to me the appeal of undersized forwards who aren't plus skaters. At some point people should start to recognize Brayden Point as the unicorn that he is. After watching the Stanley Cup final I don't see much room in the game for the Reschnys of the world. Things may have been different when the league still had immobile defensemen. I just don't see it in the modern game though.
Yes thats the point in that quote, you always end up having the puck. You can score then, when you have the puck.
What is it you don't like about Hensler? I believe he çShould be better than Atchison or Smith
Mentioned before I'd consider trading back a few times and take west. Still 17 6'6 already pure athlete ... lots of upside
The fact Bob has him ranked at 17 is telling. If you've followed our NA scouting, particularly in the first round, they love to take fliers on big forwards with questionable skill.
Super vanilla, and I don't think he has the best IQ.
Yet he doesn't score much despite having the puck.Yes thats the point in that quote, you always end up having the puck. You can score then, when you have the puck.
I'd like to believe that was driven by Tyler Wright and is no longer the case as much. But Draper was around during those days too, so can't say for sure.
I know no one will like this, but Nate Danielson. Ranked #16 by Bob, we took him at #9.
Jack? He doesn't cheat defense, that cost's points. Like Danielson. But i suspect next season will be different, Greentree & Protas out of the way and lot's of work with skating coach in the summer. Look out!
You got your MBN last year, don't be greedy.
One of the best skaters , unlike Smith or Atchison playing sound defense. Don't forget he played against older players , in much faster environment. It's not like he's the guy for me , but it's one of those I I would not be complained if we take him, same as Reschny
