to date my overviews on JB's first three drafts are as follows ....

Scoring/shootng wingers
200' C's
Poised Hi IQ D or rugged stay at home

Size is not everything to JB but too small he draws a line.


Where do the players in this draft fit in if my overview is pretty much bang on?

Burrows 2 goals, (frank)ing Benning.
- A_SteamingLombardi

Lol
Good for him.
He will quickly become a fan fave their.

I might like Mittlestadt more as well by June
- Nucker101

Especially if you live in Benning's 'hood 'cuz I'll be drone-droppin' Mittelstadt propaganda leaflets all over that bish in a couple months...

They'll love him if he can pull off the Burrows hat trick, 2 goals and a hair pulling minor.

Never liked him!

A little unconventional but I'm okay with you calling me mom.

Looks like we will lose sbisa to Vegas, leaving us with

Edler tanev
Guds stretch
Hutton tryamkin

I'm good with that.

Hopefully pedan is #7
- dbot

I'll be surprised if Pedan is resigned to a NHL contract. Not a bad option further down for depth but I don't think he has improved at all since we acquired. Love that he has some toughness but isn't a good enough player IMO.

Much depends on OJ Brisebois Olsen Tate signing & if room.
Only 50 contracts r allowed.

You might want to focus your efforts around Aquillini's residence.

Yeah. Pedan was an afterthought. More talking about the top 6.
Jb might sign a younger D to battle for 7/8

An ideal scenario that could play out for us....

We get say 3 or 4OA probably.
Patrick Hischier go 1 & 2.
If Liljgren is gone instead then its a no brainer at 3OA.
3OA or 4OA is a dividing line in ways.
Leaves maybe 3-9 off the top of my head:
Liljgren
Mittelstadt
Tippett
Necas
Tolvanen
Glass

Now considering the teams around us down to as far as 8-9th does anyone see trading down advantageous if another asset comes back?
What asset would that possibly be?
- Nighthawk

Really like that three in that order. Tippett seems like less of what we need with the two new guys, but the kid hammers to the net and can shoot.

I think you can already cross Tate Olson off the list of the future

Im not sure I agree with your overview but I'll play.

Tippet/Tolvanen/Kostin

Patrick/glass/Bowers/Poeling/Andersson

Every Dman fits those two categories IMO.

Told you our style sucks

I'd be surprised if any rookies earned a long look on D this year.

Lol

He finally has decent wingers

There always some guys who are available, I think especially this year a team will be willing to move a player for little opposed to potentially losing them for nothing at the expansion draft. Assuming that Sbisa is attractive to Vegas, I'm hoping Benning can fill some depth through that route.

i think this year is scoring upfront and up the middle. Liljgren is very offensive, more so than Juolevi I would say. Tippett, Hirshier are very good skaters shooters. Middlestdt/Patrick are more of the total package types, from what I've seen.

my prediction is he draft a center (I hope HIrshier) in the first round and d in the 2nd. This Draft seems to feature a lot of d in the first two rounds, maybe one of the finnish d men and then we'll have enough finns and swedes to keep vantel happy for years to come

According to his stats he looks more like a Lady Bing winner. I have had enough of that style to last my lifetime. Players with a little bit of an edge please.

Problem is we look pretty good on RW only reason is not a fit most likely.
Its explains why i constantly spitball trades.
Also getting Dahlen & Godolbin as lefties i wonder if its to deal for Kane this year or next potentially. Sabres won't give him away & r weak at LW.
I still seek who any other posters like trading for...
Kane Duchene Landeskog or anyone else?
Stand pat is obvious but boring pertaining to the speculation game 😂😂


Kane just scored lol

Reaching for edge with a lottery pick is how you miss out on franchise scorers & stockpile Virtanens.

Speed & skill & IQ measure who to pick up top.
Character is always a good thing.
Other intangibles only enhance & not a reason to stretch picking.

Really. Both Crosby and McDavid were known for playing with an edge, so was Toews, Bergeron.
Pretty sure those guys might be known as okay players.
