Not something that I think you can really predict. How would you even take into account the intangibles. Stuff like locker room leadership , pranks etc etc.
You just have to give Foligno credit, whatever he did to convince guerin he is worth double what he should be paid is skill many don't possess. Might make a great union rep someday.

We’re picking 14th right now. I realistically think we want to push to get passed by the islanders. Top 13 is nice.

Fully on the tank bandwagon now. For a team that’s pretty much had $23M in dead cap the entire season, they did well.
Think next season is gonna be a fun one.

There is no more tank dude , the team should have been tanking months ago. Not pumping themselves up for beating on Anaheim and San Jose

Realistically maybe 1 spot. If I had to place a bet I’d say we end up 14th because Minnesota

Gonna be funny when 3 of the “consensus” top 10 are there at 14.

Not particularly, though Helenius is somebody I wouldn't be surprised.
Mainly just banking on NHL teams doing odd things at the top half of the draft, as 2-3 seemingly always do.
I wasn’t impressed with anything I’ve seen from Helenius but scouts seem to like him. I fear that’s based on him having good size though and a semi Stramel situation but obviously more skilled

Eliteprospects.com has 5'11" 181 lbs. If he's 6'0" 200lbs, that's pretty average height, but good weight.
Whatever his size, and with the disclaimer that I know Liiga isn't as good as it used to be, his production this season was really good, and continued in the playoffs. I won't speak more about his game because I'd be doing so ignorantly, but I don't understand the Stramel comparison. If you could clarify, I'd listen.
I just meant he’s being given some credit for playing against men when he’s young and his size has allowed that more than his game. Stramel stood out early in his career because of his size more than his game. I meant no other comparison in their games.

He's nothing at all like Stramel...nothing. I would liken him to Catton, Aho, or RNH. Skilled, good skater, smart, average size and strength at best.
I would be happy with nabbing Helenius at #15.
He wasn’t impressive at the WJC, but we can’t be picky if we’re picking middle of 1st
I want MBN simply because the Wild I don't think has ever had a three-named player...

Don't let Joel Eriksson Ek hear you say that.
I also believe Mats Zuccarello used to be Mats Zuccarello Aasen, not sure why he dropped the final part of his name.
