In by terms of how they stack up on the ice against their respective competition, I would say so.

FYI for my lottery loser brothers



This would be from last year when Glass was "off the radar"

hey man, you got your 1st overall, we need ours. We need a Matthews/Eichel/McDavid type of franchise player
- Codes1087

I agree 100% with that! Vancouver should get Dahlin and if you do you won't give a shat about anybody else's players again! So management (like others)will be trying to find a way to get him! ,but look at what happened this year, if it was next year N.J. would be getting him! ain't going to be easy!

You thinking its a sure bet that COL takes Vilardi if DAL takes Heiskanen?

Not at all. I think they might go Tippett. One of the Avs fancy stats consultants works for the Steelheads and has been hyping Tippet and Hague all year.

If he has any say at the draft table (his expertise is prediction prospect outcomes with his DEV model)....I could see them go with the Ginger

And the avalanche, what do they pick?what says you?

I think picks 3 through 5 are all going to be good players between Vilardi/Glass/Heiskanen. I think Tippet can be lumped in to the group just mentioned as well.

they pick 4th. My guess is Heiskanen or Tippett. I dont think Dallas is a slam dunk for taking Heiskanen, even though they need D now, they have a boat load of young D and D prospects to deal with. THey have nothing when it comes to Fwd prospects. I think they might go glass or vilardi

What are you talking about? Sanheim had an excellent first pro season as a 20 year old in the AHL. 10 goals 37 points as a rookie dman is damn good. He's progressing nicely. Learning the defensive side of things in pro for young dmen takes time.
- LeftCoaster

Jordan Subban had the same amount of points in less games. Except Subban wasn't 17OA he was 115OA.

Just jokes. Yeah he had a pretty good season and has a lot to learn. I don't doubt if Sanheim pushes for a roster spot in the NHL next season.

I think they are going to take him. Their D and goalie situation is such a tire fire right now. If Heiskanen falls to your lap at 4, you guys are laughing IMO.

Avs have MacKinnon, Jost, and Compher as their 1-3c set up for the future, and thats nto to mention Grigorenko and Duchene if not traded. Highly need Wingers. Tippett fights their style and need so I wouldnt be shocked to see him go

Tippet has better hands than most in this draft, he's going to be a really good player!

Another year in the AHL for Travis, he's gonna be a beauty though. Sanheim will have a 15 year career, Subban will be lucky to see 15 games

Tippet has better hands than most in this draft, he's going to be a really good player!
- MR.Hunter

Hes a Kessel clone based on his playing style. Even his goal scoring streakiness. Ill take that Ginger Hot Dog lover any day of the week

No tanking but honestly there is about 20 players I want for next season.

Is Rantanen a Lw or Rw? because Tippett would look solid on a line with him and Mackinnon, Size, Speed, Shot

There desperate need for a D man would suggest taking a D. Could also see them trading a forward to get a D.

Oh they'll be a tank next year, for sure, it'll be a TDL tank much like this year

That makes sense about grabbing a winger. I hope they don't trade Duchene.

They won't need to tank next year to fall into the top 10 in the draft

Duchene Horvat Boeser...... Are you sure you don't want them to trade him?

- phyllee

RWer. They dont have any RWers in the system currently either. They have a few LWers like Greer and even Andrighetto who looked great playing LW wiht Mack and Rants (15pts in 19 games)

My guess is Landeskog, Jost, Tippett would be their long term 2nd line

Theirs not a whole lot of difference in picks 3-12 so your teams hopefully get it right, cause most if not all,will go back to their respective junior teams and that's when one could be a clear choice of who will Excell at the next level! .....maybe? but most if not all top ten should be great nhl players! !

- manvanfan

yeah Duchene will be moved for a Dman, I am fully convinced hes gone and thats ok. He need to win somewhere else, keeping him around for another reboot will be a waste of his talent.

If they can snag a late 1st rounder in a Duchene trade, They will be going hard at Little Foote
