We're a rush team and that's where the bulk of our offense has and will continue to come from. But you tell me if you think this is a good team below the goal line and if so, what indicates that.

Kemell is a terrific player, but he's not a top 3 pick. He actually compares pretty closely in some ways to Alex Holtz -- they're both pure snipers with beautiful releases and howitzer shots. I'd say Kemell is a bit more advanced in his 200-foot game at the same age, but Holtz possesses more high-end passing vision. Neither is the type of play-driver you'd want with a pick at the very top of the draft. I'd consider Kemell in the 6-10 range, but not in the 1-5 range. If you see a ranking with Kemell in the top 3, it's probably a good idea to check the date the ranking came out -- many of his high rankings were posted during his extremely hot start to the season.
There is no chance Montreal takes Cooley #1 overall. I believe their choice is basically Wright vs. Slafkovsky, and it's an overwhelming chance they take Wright. But Cooley won't enter that discussion -- not only is Wright clearly and overwhelmingly preferred in the scouting community at the same position, but Montreal is very PR-conscious and the backlash for taking Cooley would be monumental, to say the least.
Wright's PPG averages were decidedly better across the board than Cooley and his 200-foot play is significantly better than Cooley and his tool kit is visibly superior to Cooley. But it's different when you compare him against Slafkovsky, who would be the perfect LW for Suzuki/Caufield and may have the most pure upside of the three. I still say Montreal drafts Wright, but were they to take Slafkovsky, it would set up an intriguing scenario for the Devils.
I don't know that I would draft Wright. I might gauge the trade market to see if the Devils could flip picks with Arizona or Seattle, gain some assets and then take Jiricek.
Agree completely, Kakko would be a great addition to our current lineup. And Kakko's projection was more about how "NHL ready" he was and not so much his offensive skill.

Took a big shitz for Nemec
I watched some of the Rangers game last night and he looked pretty good. I liked that he showed some playoff intensity throwing his weight around after the whistle one or two times.
HIs projection was definitely high. Many expected like 60 pts out the gate and a 70-80 pt player for his prime

if they pass on wright, i'm considering trading a spot down (depending on who is picked first)

Yes Jiricek could be a #1 D more so than Slaf a #1st line stud winger, but we might already have a stud #1 D in Hughes amd Hamilton is no slouch.
But it’s so hard to know… yes it could be in a few years Larsson vs Rantanen and we are kicking ourselves for takig Jiricek , but could also be another Seider type D and Slaf is a Kassian ……. Aghhhhhh what to do!!!???

“I think we have a lot of the same up front — we have some nice players, talented players — but I think we have a lot of the same. I don’t want a lot of the same. It’s time to start mixing and matching, and building a team — especially up front, be harder to play against, heavier skill.” -Fitz
Seems pretty straight forward.

If this is in reference to the pick then yeesh this is something you never want to hear.

Blissfully Mediocre
If Arizona is willing to make that deal and you can gouge them, then yeah sure. But you can't drop down too far because then you're just taking yourself out of the most impact players. So you're really looking to stay inside of the top 5 to get one of the three that this team may covet (I'd be willing to gamble top 6 if I'm getting 12, but I get why some people wouldn't...but I'd happily accept Savoie or Kemell as consolation prizes) which gives you a limited pool of potential trade partners. I just think any sort of trade like that is unlikely to happen. Top 3 - 5 picks simply don't get knowingly moved all that often in the NHL.
Seattle has a bunch of second round picks, but nothing all that interesting to me and I feel like they are pretty content at 4.
Philly has nothing to offer at 5.

No I don’t think it was. He said that at the end of the season before the lottery if I’m not mistaken

Omar comin yo
I mean we’re getting either Slaf, Wright, Jiricek or Nemec which anyone of us would have signed on for that before the lottery so no matter who Montreal takes we’re golden. I really can’t see them not going with Wright even though he has had an underwhelming playoff.
It's not nonsense. Thankfully the quote isn't about the pick but it was then yeah it's a really f***ing dumb way to look at things. You don't draft based off of size.

Let's pretend for a second that quote was said yesterday. Where the hell in it did it say anything about size?
If that quote was about the pick then yes it would be. It would be about not going with Cooley because he'd be more of the same and instead valuing Slaf because he's bigger and something different. Are we really going to sit here and act like him saying HEAVIER isn't in regards to size? I mean come on...

No, it wouldn't be. It says we have "more of the same" indicating we have a lot of players that play the same way. That could be interpreted a million different ways. It doesn't directly and only link to size. Prime example? Seth Jarvis is 5'10" but he's a bulldog and plays a completely different style than Bratt and Hughes. You just read it that way because you want Cooley lol.
