I guess problem with losing our second rounder and if get Dallas first will be there at 58ish? Doubt it. Would you use a 28/30 pick on him?
Tier 1 (1-2) tier 2 (3-10ish) tier 3 (10ish to 20) so the Winnipeg is looking nice if we don’t go too far off the board. Also is gaining really nice trade capital for every slot higher it reaches. Go jackets go avs

I like Suzuki, but I don’t love him in the mid-teens, if we don’t move up with Winnipeg’s pick I’d be fine (but not necessarily excited) with taking him there

A reach isn't necessarily a bad thing, the same way a steal isn't necessarily a good thing
Great stuff.
And this is why you to a large extent also must go BPA in a draft, if you get the player, great. There aren’t many of them available. Can’t be too chosey.
With that said, there are a bit more ‘players’ than the 750+ guys, like the Kevin Klein types, takes a little longer to establish themselves and get out a little earlier, but those 6-9 years can still be valuable. But it’s not 60 either.
Yeah someone is getting a good player that picks him. There are maybe a bit too many guys like him available for my liking, but I don’t know how sound that thinking is.
I know that everyone around Team Sweden at the U18s really liked him, great leader and a very solid player too that isn’t without top skill.
Have we often seen situations were a team ‘trades down’ — after having made a pick already? With the driving force behind it being that a kid they liked dropped further than they expected. I have some recollection of it, but can’t remember the details.
19 or even 18 don’t seem impossible with Winnipeg’s pick. I think there are some teams with a bit higher pick who might be considering Zach Knight, but they can’t be sure that he will be there at 18. I think some of those teams could see some value in trading a pick in say the 8-12 range for Zach Knight and Dallas 1st if we get it. But it might not be that attractive if someone else snags Knight just before their pick so making that trade before their selection might be a bit risky. So maybe they go ahead and drafts whomever they like with their own pick, but then a trade can be made if Knight is still on the table at 18 and we like who they picked.

We should have interest in Ryan Suzuki with the Wpg pick, we could use a shifty playmaker like him.
He's talented, but he had a really, really rough season.
I think he falls to the 2nd round.

Yea I'm not sure newhook is that much better than Suzuki
I'd rather get seider and Suzuki than just newhook assuming we'd have to trade the wpg and Dallas picks to move up to get him

looks like mo seider is on team germany for the world championships...not sure if anyone else (besides hughes & kakko) from the draft will be playing

Pass first offensive threat with an underrated shot. He'd be a good get as a potential faller!!

I doubt he makes it past pick No. 25. If he falls that far and we have Dallas's pick, absolutely!! Depending on who's available, I'd seriously consider him at Winnipeg's pick!!

Think the skill level is there for a safe, top-6 playmaker. I do think he'll stay in the teens. If any fall happens, he'll stay in the 1st somehow. Won't get past Pitt or LA.

As exciting as Newhook has been of late I think the wiser option would be the package, too. I'm still not entirely sold on Newhook. I'm rooting for him to have a great development, but it's tough to trade up for a potential boom/bust player when two safe bets at their potentials are around at those picks. The draft is always unpredictable, though.
With that said, I can also see NYR trading up with their assets because of how quickly they captured one of the best prospect pools in the league. They really have nothing to lose. I trust in Gordie, mainly Bobrov and Co. to get at it!!
I was super impressed by Harleys positioning and anticipation at the U18s (saw two games of him live), he read the play really well defensively.
I was just thinking about that, but saw it was a long shot given that he hasn’t dressed up for them before. But that is great news, makes an interesting tournament even more interesting.

Kakko, Hughes and Seider are the only 2001-born players on the announced rosters at the moment. Of the 2000-born players, Janis Moser and Benjamin Baumgartner are 2nd year draft eligibles
I’m all about Seider with our 18-20 first. Exactly the type of home run I’m looking for.
