Domi won't be available at that pick. He's the type of guy someone will move up to get.

Pittsburgh?

You never know, size does scare people off, the smallest guys drafted recently before 17-21 ish are P Kane 5'10, Skinner 5'10, Yakupov 5'10, Ryan Ellis 5'9 (rarest as he's a d), Granlund 5'10, Schwartz 5'10 and Boychuk/Brule 5'10 who appear to be a busst.

Teams have to be really certain what they are getting to gamble on a 5'9 player in the early first round.

The way Nonis was speaking at his end of the year presser made it sound as though they wanted to move up, but only if they could make a big jump, not a spot or two. I would like Domi, but I think Rychel and Horvat are more likely because of how this team is being built.

If Rychel, Horvat and Domi are gone by 21 I think the Leafs would take a shot on Fucale. Can't have enough depth in goal, and I would imagine he gets a look for the WJC.

Do the Oilers next as we are in the 7th position and are not used to so many choices

Darnell Nurse if he's available, he'd be perfect for you guys.

Yakupov is 5'11

Some of these guys can actually grow after they are drafted as well.

"Bo Horvat : I must admit I’ve done a bit of a 360 on him."

So pretty much your opinion is exactly the same as it always was??!!

I would enjoy that pick. However, would take Monahan if he was still on the board.

I've come full circle, from thinking at the start of the year that he would be a top-15 pick, then to a guy falling fast, now to once again being in that 15-20 range discussion.

What % of McNabb is in Nurse?

If Feaster let's you guys get Monahan then he's retarded.

Yeah, and I'm 6'4

Not a long shot by any means!

Haha, this draft just seems giftwrapped for the Flames. There's at least 5 potential star centres that would help to bring that franchise back to respectability.

My gut feeling is they actually take Lindholm. Who has a high ceiling as well.

Plus I'm only 6'1

i'm kind of disappointed you didn't include adam erne or even frederik gauthier in that list. i figured they would be there for sure.

Gaulthier will be long gone by the time we pick
