Maybe more than one person likes the pick?????

 

[Henkka]

Last four 1st picks on Yzerman era have been Håkan Andersson picks. Draper picks will come later on.

Could this year be different?

Maybe both will get one, either at #9 and another at #17 ?

Maybe more than one person likes the pick?????

Yeah, they'll do these as "teams".

But Draper NA-team vs. Andresson's European-team?

In that case it will be an NA player

I don’t think this is how it works.

Yzerman is not gonna pick from

- Canadian juniors
- USDP

So the shortlist for 9th is:

- Dvorsky (Håkan pick)
- Reinbacher (håkan pick)
- Wood (Draper pick)

While it’s tough to have committee discussions about later round prospects, and you really have to lean on your regional guys, I imagine these top ~30ish players are discussed ad nauseum as a group. If someone told me they strictly tasked one guy with making the selection I’d jump off a bridge.

Why? I think he picks the BPA regardless of where they are plying. Seider played in the DEL.

You know Draper and Hakan are on the same team, right?
