Schaefers first on pretty much every updated list now even despite his injury

I’m not shocked about that but I’m completely shocked about Desnoyers being ranked so high.

I just haven’t seen that level from him. If my team took him over Bear or Eklund, I’d be pissed

Id take him over Martone

 

[Rare Jewel]

Canadian mafia at it again...

Sorry.

 

[BondraTime]

Nobody should be surprised Desnoyers is getting nods in the top 5. He’s the type of player who is going to be ranked around the 3-8 range in every single draft.

Really excelling in the Q. Best player on the best team there.

If the Habs get a top 5 pick we know who they’ll take

Sorry.

Two Canadian media members for a Canadian publication, just so we're clear.

Not sure what bias they'd have towards an American. Towards a Canadian, I just spelled out for you what it could be.

Or they just genuinely like him better as a prospect, irrespective of his or Hagens nationality.

But I was being a bit cheeky; trying to bait you. But really, I'm looking forward to seeing how Hagens finishes up this season.

Dunno, he sounds like the prospect Anaheim would select, being from the Q.

 

[Martin Elz]

1. Schäefer
2. Hägens
3. Märtöne
4. Misä
5. Desnöyers
6. Eklünd
7. Frondell
8. Smith
9. McQüeen
10. Ö’Brien

There, fixed it for them.

 

[LemonSauceD]

I feel like McQueen is going to be the steal of the draft whoever takes him.

I hope he falls on draft day, all the way down to the Lightning

 

[Hrabal the Giant]

Wheels would have to really fall off the wagon for that to happen. I'd be shocked if he leaves the top 5 at this point just due to his profile and past performance amongst a weak class.

 

[FLAMESFAN]

"We also have players in all sizes spread throughout the first round, from Arizona State’s 5-foot-10 Cullen Potter, to Seattle’s hulking defenceman, the 6-foot-6 Mrtka."

I keep looking for Potter, but don't see him?
Gastrin seems high, What's the thought on him vs Nilsson?
Also no Fiddler in 1st round?

Is that an E5?

Too much like Dach for me
