HUGE reach. & Heiskanen won't make it out of the top 10.
- DrChristianTroy




Crazy to see how highly you guys think of Heiskanen. I'm a fan myself, but the dude isn't going in the top 10.

I'd be shocked if he isn't taken in the top 10. he was ranked 13th on Januarys consolidated rankings so you don't think he has climbed 3 or 4 spots in the last 3 months? He has.

There's a higher chance he goes top 10 then him lasting until the 2nd round at this point.

I'm going with NYR and NAS for sure, but the other 2 are more difficult. I know the Caps suck at times against speedy teams, but no Letang for Pit and a potential Fleury choke if Murray is still out worries me.

EDM/ANA is tough, I like ANA's depth better but McJesus doe.

Where are you pulling said consolidated rankings? He's all over people's lists. Some lists have him at 11, ISS doesn't even have him in the top 31.

A lot of mainstream lists are always 2-3 steps behind. Just last year with Dubois, a lot of the draft prospect niche sites had him top 5 at least 1-2 months before some well known mainstream ranking lists caught up to the hype.

Exactly, I follow the Seahawks and there are a couple of players I would like them to take at #26 on Thursday.

Not knowing where the Canucks will be picking is a different story. I'll wait until after the lottery to pick a player. If we don't get him BFD.

I risked Price outplaying Lundqvist and got burned but I think Anderson is up to it. Rangers have a lot of players in Zombie mode it seems but we'll see.

I liked NSH from day 1 just think they can hit you hard with 4 lines and if Rinne doesn't pull the big choke they should see the final. But STL seems to be better without Elliott Shattenkirk and Oshie go figure.

Holtby looks shaky to me even though he was OK in the past 2 vs the Leafs. I think PIT can exploit him. No Letang hurts huge but I think PIT can play around it.

EDM ANA is very tough. Talbot had a few Luongo moments in the first round so is he tired? Hard to say. ANA is banged up on D however and if Talbot outplays Gibson we could have a series. Could go either way I thought but if McJesus heats up...look out.

I find the NFL draft far more interesting.

Should Dubois have been a top five pick?

I remember laughing as his stock raised because of hype.

There's gonna be some major variance between each NHL teams' lists this year. Consolidated rankings don't mean sh!t.

Yeah, I agree with that. All you can do is post top 5 lists at this point.

that's not the point, the point is that he actually went that high. The bet here is that Heiskanen will be drafted top 10, not whether or not he'll be worth it.

Here I thought those lists stated who was the best player.

the whole bet/argument is about where he's getting drafted, is it not?



Man, you should post here more often, you'd fit in just fine.

I'd say Forrest Lamp if he's still there. Whoever's left out of the top DE's.
