Would not mind Pyotr Andreyanov (MHL) or Jack Ivankovic (OHL, Brampton Steelheads), need a higher end goalie prospect. Keeping my eye on Cameron Reid (LHD), Luca Romano (RW), and Tanner Lam (RW), all 3 Kitchener Rangers who are flying a bit under the radar right now. Would expect them all to climb up the board though.
Ben Kevan (RW/C) of the Des Moines Buccaneers (Arizona State commit) would be a solid 2nd round option if he's available. Will do more deep diving once the calendar year turns.

Jason Bukala releases his Top 40 sandwiched right between the CHL-USA Prospect Challenge and the upcoming World Juniors
40 is right around were Utah's 2nd round pick could land for us.

You are correct. The Hockey News specifies it's Utah's pick, while the NHL, TSN, ESPN, and others just say a 2nd rounder, but it is Toronto's pick
This is the site I usually use to keep track of draft picks, and they have it wrong as well

I think this is the year to go after a high end goalie prospect. Ravensbergen should be the target and he should be there in the late first. I'd trade up with our two 2nds if possible. The timeline lines up, he should be NHL ready in about 4 years when Vasi (sadly) is just about done.

An unranked, 6'0 goalie playing in a russian junior league? It's a matter of opinion, but I disagree.

.945 SV% in the MHL. FC Hockey has him ranked #48. European Pro route >>>>>>>>>>> CHL route for goalies. We'll see if Ravensbergen goes to the NCAA under the new rules, but that's my reasoning.

Craig Button is basically Dave Meltzer for me. Old, senile and completely out of touch who presents his biases as fact.

Nicholas Sykora is from New Jersey, which makes sense considering how many years his dad Petr played for the Devils, but he lists Boca Raton as his hometown.
Found this old article from 2016 that says that Petr Sykora was living in Parkland, and founded the South Florida Hockey Academy in Coral Springs with Olli Jokinen, Tomas Vokoun, and Radek Dvorak

Chiclets U did a feature on Michigan State, including a cameo from Howard. But their captain Red Savage spoke pretty highly of Shane Vansaghi who I think is projected as a late 1st or early 2nd. He's intriguing.

Vansaghi is an intriguing power forward project. Could really pop off at State after Howard & Stramel are gone.

Draft the best defenseman and goalie available in the 2nd and 4th. Then just take who you think has the best chance to contribute to the franchise in any role. Hope to find a diamond in the rough.

I do think that we might be able to draft a goalie every year, and hope that one of them hits, but all these guys are pretty much years away. Drafting for positional weakness doesn't make too much sense, IMO.
The youngest goalie we have under contract is 29. We could probably build up some depth there, even if they don't make the NHL. There's not much ice time for goalies, so any good young AHL goalie gets hype as a potential NHL #1. Remember Askarov? There was hype just months ago that Nashville should trade Saros to anoint Askarov as the new #1. He's below .900 in the NHL with San Jose.

I agree and don't agree. Like if the clear BPA with the second round pick is a goalie, might as well take the shot. Any goalie drafted, at least with Vasy has years to develop before even sniffing a starting role here. If the goal is looking for goalie as a backup, then its kind of a waste of a pick to find a goalie and probably better suited to pick a defenseman or forward.
