If one of Sennecke or Iginla go top 10 the. The Sharks are guaranteed one of the top 6 D.
The same people who said the Sharks would hire Quinn and draft Smith are also reporting the Sharks won't pass on Eiserman if he's available. With the BU connection, I'd imagine that's their target.I have no understanding of why you would think this.
He's 14th on McKenzie's final board. So a bit of a "risk" to stay there if you're intent on drafting him.But is there any clamoring out there for Eiserman that early? We can't know for sure, but it certainly doesn't feel like the winds have been blowing him to any teams in the early teens.
Way too much smoke out there with SJ and Eiserman.Eiserman really doesn't feel like a Mike Grier style player, I think this is about securing one of the favored D men to get us a real top-pair prospect
But this doesn't really guarantee us a crack at the good defensemen.i doubt it's Eiserman. you only move up in this draft to guarantee a crack at the defense.
There are some mocks with Buium dropping to 11.But this doesn't really guarantee us a crack at the good defensemen.
I mean, does anyone seriously believe Levshunov, Silayev, Dickinson or Buium will make it out of the top 10?
Always have to overpay slightly to move up in the first round. Not going to let a 4th rounder matter.Using pick value charts from:

11 is 338
14 + 42 is 297 + 85 = 382
so, an overpay, but indicates they are targeting someone within a tier they didn't think would be available.
overall assessment: fire DW.
Will Smith doesn't feel like a Mike Grier style player either.Eiserman really doesn't feel like a Mike Grier style player, I think this is about securing one of the favored D men to get us a real top-pair prospect
Are there credible reports about Grier wanting Eiserman? Or is it speculation?Way too much smoke out there with SJ and Eiserman.
You're just ignoring the smoke and noise then if that is your belief. Yakemchuk is likely the only D left there and he isn't worth trading up for. Only way this is for a D is if they're going to move up again with 11+33 to get into the top 7. Otherwise, this is for Eiserman as they're cutting the other 2 teams with rumored real interest (Philly and Minnesota).i doubt it's Eiserman. you only move up in this draft to guarantee a crack at the defense.
He was the the 4th rated prospect in a 4 man draft, going BPA at the top of the order at the bottom of a rebuild is a bit different than trading up an additional 1st rounder that stays outside the top 10 when you already own #1Will Smith doesn't feel like a Mike Grier style player either.
Is Parekh or Yakemchuk really worth trading up for? They seem to have massive red flags. I would be more disappointed if we traded up for one of them tbh.If we moved up to 11 and take Eiserman, I'll lose a ton of faith in the staff. I will then spend the next 3 years hoping I was totally wrong and they were right.
What I actually think this is, is a shot at one of the top 6 D. There's almost no way all 6 go in the top 10. And if they do, then we get Iginla.
All of the mock drafters that usually start to get an idea by now where teams are leaning are predicting Eiserman to SJ.Are there credible reports about Grier wanting Eiserman? Or is it speculation?
Just asking because I haven't seen or heard anything other than that he and Celebrini are friends
Absolutely. Parekh or Yakemchuk have similar risk profiles to Eiserman. Parekh is the best point-scoring defenseman in the OHL ever, and Yakemchuk in the last something like 30 years for the WHL.Is Parekh or Yakemchuk really worth trading up for? They seem to have massive red flags. I would be more disappointed if we traded up for one of them tbh.
With Eiserman, it is what it is. Not who I would pick but his production and age at least make it a defensible bet.
This displeases me.I hope I'm wrong but I think this is more about guaranteeing us Eiserman.
largely agree, but the value of overpay is closer to a late second (according to soundofhockey)Always have to overpay slightly to move up in the first round. Not going to let a 4th rounder matter.
