I agree with your premise with Patrick. PHI took him at #2. The whole reason players are at the very top of the draft is that they have high upside and less risk (whether that's risk relating to their size, skating, motor, injury, etc.). If Patrick had an injury question and the next picks were Heiskanen, Makar and Pettersson, that was a mistake. At some point, Patrick would have become worth the risk, but not at #2.
I would not take Lakovic at #10, I'd trade back.
Sorokin is only under contract for 4 more years, yes Gamzin and Gidlof have had promising D+1 seasons but I'm of the belief that you can never have too many goaltenders in your system.
I admit, a goaltender would not be something I'd hope this team would look at in Round 1, even if it had multiple picks.
But Reschny is a player who has piqued my interest since the Hlinka Gretzky last summer and he's been having a fantastic spring. He's looking like a reason to be ready to drop back, if need be.
I'm also a believer in Ihs-Wozniak over the long run. If he keeps trucking in this U18 tourney the way he has been though, he likely won't be there in Round 2 when we select.
Pretty sure it's either may 5 or 6. Saw it from a report, but I don't think anything's official that I've seen.
It's still very hush hush, but BUF is being relegated to the AHL. So, everyone behind them moves up one slot.
reminds me of European vacation when Chevy Chase and his wife were in Germany looking for room six
This model sucks because it has Ryabkin always going top ten and in some cases top 5.
