My first choice is definitely Perreault, then Honzek, then it drops pretty hard for me after that.

But I don't care as I trust Steve's pick anyway

 

[Pavels Dog]

Lol at people saying Benson wasn’t worth it cause “he’s small”. As if that’s held back someone like Johnny Hockey.

The game is now about speed and skill, not size and character.

Calgary’s done nothing in the playoffs in part because Gaudreau has been so easily neutralized there. Vegas, Florida, Seattle, Dallas, these teams show the future.

 

[Atoadaso]

Don’t hate Danielson but this team desperately needs offense and he ain’t it

 

[evolutionbaby]

No to honzek. Perrault, barlow, Moore.

 

[lidstromiscool]

I trust Yzerman. Draper, not so much. Please no Western Canadian kids that Draper vouches for

 

[Atoadaso]

Really wanted wood

 

[Rolo Tomassi]

I just hope we dont take ASP. Nothing against the guy but we dont need him as badly as we need more forwards

 

[SuperScript29]

Perreault is still on board, he would be great at 17.

People say this every year, they look at the last winner and they think it's the only way to build a team...
Patrick Kane carried his team to MULTIPLE cups less than a few years ago.

meanwhile tons of people are clamoring for Moore who is a whole inch taller

 

[Bench]

Zero trades so far. Kinda boring in that respect. I honestly expected a little movement in the top 20.

 

[Hoog]

Moore, Perreault, Barlow, or......Edstrom

 

[RRhoads]

ASP or Stenberg for me

 

[Holden Caufield]

We riot if they take ASP.

 

[Shaman464]

Flames stink so bad they brought the flies from Calgary with them.

 

[Winged Wheel Willy]

YESSSSS

 

[PuckeDRW]

Thanks Calgary!

This is a particularly bold take after this years postseason.

 

[K1900L]

Come on now

 

[ZDH]

Really wanted wood

The night is young.

 

[Konnan511]

Don't f*** this up. Pick Moore. Don't over think it.

 

[SimonEdvinssonAtSix]

Honzek off the board. You can breathe a sigh of relief

 

[Michael Brand Eggs]

Yzerman is gonna break something

 

[Rzombo4 prez]

Watch them take Edstrom

 

[Ezekial]

Almost time to watch another meltdown after Yzerman doesn't take Moore, Perreault, or Barlow
