Too early? Not for me.
I'm already pumped for this draft for a couple reasons....1st it is a strong draft - loaded with very good centers, but also because we finally get to move on from those stupid Monahan trade conditions.
As it stands we have our own 1st rnd which better be top 10, NJ's 1st - likely around 20th, and Flor's 1st - likely going to MTL
We also have our 2nd, and Colorado's 2nd
I really hope we can add some more draft capital, and move up from NJ's pick.
I know a few of us (at least) are paying close attention to the different tournaments for these prospects, so who are you looking forward to? I think there is already a "top 7"
Hagens - clear cut #1 IMO. Complete 2 way center, U18 MVP
Frondell & Ryabkin both centers, both ranked top 3 by most. Haven't seen enough of them though yet.
Martone - RW Big guy with physicality & skill. Captain of U18, looked great at that tourny
McQueen 6'5 center with the Wheatkings. Was on a line with Martone at the U18, but got hurt early. Big points this year.
Misa - the younger (and better) brother to our Luke. Was ranked higher, but he didn't play U18 or U17 this year
Schaefer - Captain for the Hlinka team. Looks great, complete Dman. Could go top 3 this year.
I think these are the top dogs, and a natural tier. After this there are still very good prospects, and I'm sure some will rise into top 5 talks. Spence, Wozniak, Desnoyers, Moore, Reschny, Guite, Hensler, etc
Would be soo funny to grab Schaefer with our 1st, but man he looks so good....We really need a top 5 pick.
