[Prominence Problem]

D - Corson Ceulemans

He may go earlier, but if not, please make this happen.

 

[Gentle Man]

OEL and Garland to Vancouver

Being reported the 9th overall is going the other way.



The price of Garland was taking OEL.



STEEP Price for Garland

 

[FinlandPanther]

I'm not sure how to feel about this trade. Obviously Arizona does well, but Vancouver doing well depends on how OEL is and how good Garland is. If OEL goes back to his old self and Garland goes full stud then this might be a win win.

 

[Chaos2k7]

Unless Arizona hits a homer at 9, that's a terrible return.

 

[Gentle Man]

4 years 24 M for Taylor Hall.

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

Still think we should be aggressive and trade the 1st for help on D now but if we draft, hoping it's a D or C.

Who's our Lundell this year? I picked him this year, so it's your turn honey

 

[Dread Clawz]

I guess I'll take a stab at a prediction- we draft Francesco Pinelli tonight. In any case I think we take a forward.

 

[FinlandPanther]

I love the mystery of this draft. I have no clue what is going on with any of these players and I trust daddy Z.

Who's our Lundell this year? I picked him this year, so it's your turn honey

FORWARDS:

Svechkov would be the Lundell like pick imo, awesome shutdown ability with "limited offense".
He can play W/C but he may go in the late teens, would/could be an elite 3C.

Raty for the more offensive flare C, his stock has dropped but the top 6 C potential is easily still there.

Stankoven is the blend of the two above, good speed and offensive/defensive instincts.
WHLers have been excelling well in recent drafts.

DEFENSE:

Peart has some good defensive IQ and great transition D. Add another LD to the bunch.

Morrow is a reach pick but his skating is solid, offense is there, just needs work in D zone.
Project pick but he has some potential to break out. And we need RD in the pipeline.
I think Ekblad would be the perfect mentor for him.

Lambos health scares me off a bit.


I'd go Raty/Stankoven on forward or Morrow on D

Xavier Bourgault

 

[Dread Clawz]

Raty is so bleh. Solid prospect but I really hope he's not who we end up with.

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

Trade down to an early 2nd round pick (Helenius) plus Vatrano for a top4 LD.

 

[FinlandPanther]

Raty is so bleh. Solid prospect but I really hope he's not who we end up with.

Agreed, he worries me too much. I’d deal with him as a second round pick and if still be weary.

 

[SoupyFIN]

Shows how much I've followed this draft class, I had no idea Carson Lambos had played for JYP this season.

L'Heureux , Stankoven, Lysell, or Lambos. Wouldn't mind Othmann either

That's my pick. L'Heureux is a buzzsaw that we would love to have.

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

BUF should go Beniers
I don't like the Power pick for BUF.
They needed a C.

 

[FlaPanthers11]

The only analysis they gave on Power is that he’s tall

 

[PSLguy]

Hardly any video of his play too.

 

[Gentle Man]

The only analysis they gave on Power is that he’s tall

That's all it takes these days.

I heard on the radio every cup winning team had a dman over 6 feet.

Ekblad didn't play, that's why we lost. We lost the 6 feet game.

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

Those Finns <3

Lol, they've been developing good defensive players for a while now (minus Laine)

L'Heureux , Stankoven, Lysell, or Lambos. Wouldn't mind Othmann either

That's my pick. L'Heureux is a buzzsaw that we would love to have.

Ya, L'Heureux definitely has a cool toolbox, not super familiar with him though.
My only knock on Othmann (from watching him in OHL because of Koly) is his skating and general speed.
Really like Stankoven, size doesn't scare me away at all, reminds me a bit of Nick Suzuki and Seth Jarvis

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

Like the pick for ANA, guy can score and lay the body.
ANA gonna have no problems scoring in a few years.
