16 would mean Pittsburgh made the playoffs and would be the Leafs pick and I would take Dante Fabbro over McAvoy in a heart beat.

would rather Fabbro, Logan Brown, German Rubstov all over McAvoy.

Changed.

I really hope the Leafs don't pick 5th, we need a Dman and 5th is too high for Juolevi and too low for Chychrun

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

I would be happy with Mcleod if that's where we pick

 

[Bad Puck Bounce]

Love it from Boston's perspective.

 

[Eddie Munson]

Like the Boston picks! Nice job.

 

[LongWayDown37]

I think the Sabres take Juolevi there.

Its kinda like the best case of a worst case scenario IMO.. Best case would be Gauthier or Dubois dropping to us haha

 

[CAN1997]

That's who I'd want at 9th, McLeod is ok as well

 

[tigervixxxen]

I know this is just opinion but there's no way Colorado takes DeBrincat. They are building a team with size and didn't draft one player under 6 foot last year. Given how the board falls I think they'd take Brown.

 

[Sundinisagod]

Nylander would be a good choice for Toronto, we really don't have a lot of winger talent, and Alex is versatile in playing either wing and also effective playing the point on the power play. Looks like a potential regular 30 goal threat to me.

Nylander - Nylander - Marner
JVR - Kadri - Kapanen

 

[Sundinisagod]

And if Fabbro panned out as a #2 D, we,d probably be set on D in the future.

Rielly - Fabbro
Dermott - Zaitsev?
Valiev - Neilson

 

[Brooklyndevil]

Keller or Rubstov for the Devils.
