General Drafted Prospects Thread

[Senator Stanley]

For sure there is a scarcity at the RD position. And Yak does have serious upside. I probably wouldn't make the trade but if a really good RD somehow landed in our lap or Chabot gets moved I'd maybe rethink that.

It would be a Dorion-esque sequence of events to pass on Dickson and Buium at number 7 to take the right-shot Yakemchuk, and then a year later trade Yakemchuk for a left-shot defenceman who went 23rd.

Not gonna happen.

Of course it won't happen. It's unlikely Anaheim would want to either.

Both teams are likely happy with letting both players develop.

A bit OT but...is The Hockey News not issuing a draft preview issue this year? Haven't seen it in stores yet.

They are but it's a draft preview for the PWHL. The NHL isn't politically correct enough for them to cover these days.
