Assuming the bottom 10 teams end in the same order and last place FLA gets 1st pick, and because I have WAY too much time on my hands, here is one man's guess at how the top 10 will shake out:
1. FLA- Mackinnon
2. COL- Jones
3. CAL- Barkov (leave it to Feastervto do something unexpected)
4. CAR- Drouin
5. TB-Nichushkin (him andvStamkos on a line, yikes!)
6. PHL- Ristolainen (Homer goes for D and Timonen gets a protege)
7. NAS- Lindholm
8. EDM- Nurse (Lou Lamiorello is not happy)
9. NJD- Monahan (Lou starts feeling better)
10. BUF - Domi

Thoughts?

I would take either Monahan or Lindholm over Ristolainen.

good. i'll get my first look at him up close as i'll be at the game tomorrow night - my first of the year. and true to my word, i have not spent one penny on the flyers this season - the ticket is free because the Maccabi team is playing in an exhibition match at the WFC tomorrow night after the flyers/rangers game. we've been invited as guests by CommVault with a pre-game reception and club box tickets. it's as close as i'll ever get to the real thing. sure, it'll be in front of 19000 empty seats but who cares. i'll get an idea of what it must be like to play for the devils.

if Nurse and Risto are on the board, who would you take between them?

Is it safe to assume Straka either makes it as a top 6 winger, or is just a career minor leaguer? Not much of a checking line or energy player?

Havent seen Monahan at all, scouting report??
All I know is he put up good numbers on a bad team.

- BiggE


It takes a special player to battle through the hardships that the lowly Ottawa 67’s have had to endure this season and Sean Monahan is exactly that – a special player. Monahan is a player you learn to appreciate more with each passing view of him, as his elite hockey sense and heady game become more prevalent as you dissect his game. Lacking an initial “get up” gear, Monahan is a good (not spectacular) skater that shows value in all three zones. He makes smart decisions with the puck, positions himself well and is equally adept as a shooter and player. With Monahan, a team will be drafting a player ready to become a professional and work to become the best player and teammate possible.

If Monahan is there at 6 and the Flyers pass, I would be disappointed.

I'll continue to say it, I am a really big fan of Monahan.

Can't get the hopes up though. It would be ripe for disappointment if that happened.
