Most likely we will pic defansman with #6 pic. Who do you think we should get with vegas and 2 nd round?
I think its most likely that we end up selecting one of the RHD at #6. Operating under that assumption, I would like the Wings to select one LHD and two forwards with their picks in the 28-36 range. LHD options include: Miller, Samuelsson, McIsaac, Sandin, Alexeyev (tychonick? Never actually watched him play but he is projected to go there). Forward options include: Dellandrea, Khovanov, Hallander(have not seen), McBain (have not seen) and quite a few others who might slip or rise to where we will pick. If we end up drafting an impact player at #6 and one of the players between 28-36 become an impact player, the draft will be a success.
I personally do not think McIsaac will be there for our 2nd pick. He was named one of Canada's best players at the U18's, so I'm guessing he has probably worked his way back up the rankings like he was earlier this year. Going to guess Sandin will probably be off the board as well, but maybe not.
I like Tychonick or Alexeyev if you are looking for a LHD. Tychonick wasn't as impactful as I was hoping at the U18's for Canada, but I think he is a good long term option.
Love this range of players, some of my favorites
Forwards
Filip Hallander
Jonatan Berggren
Blake McLaughlin
Liam Foudy
Jakub Lauko
Cameron Hillis
Defensemen
Ryan Merkley
Jett Woo
Nils Lundkvist
Jonathan Tychonick
Jacob Bernard Docker
In a perfect world I would take a defensemen (Alexeyev, Addison, Tychonick or a falling Miller) and then two centers (or a center and a skilled wing). Dellandrea is my preferred target at center but I would give some consideration to Olofsson if he falls, O'Brien and maybe Wise (I would throw McBain in there but suspect his future is on the wing with his skating). In terms of skilled wingers, Ylonen and Berggren have a lot of appeal.
From there I cross my fingers and hope that some combo of Khovanov, JBD, Foudy, Hall, Kurashev and Emberson are available in the 3rd.
I haven't seen Wise's name very much... What's to like/not-like about him?
