Isn't Brink supposed to go between 20-30?

I think he means good picks are good and bad picks are bad.

I meant 10oa is only a number not a player.
It’s who we pick that matters not a number fixation. Brock & EP for example.

That’s correct

Tanbir, Taj, & Maple Leaf Dave in the British Properties?

but the calibre of player hopefully coincides with the number in which he is chosen. I agree, once a player is chosen, his draft position is near irrelevant and is only really referenced for production based on where he was taken. Having said that, you have the 10th overall and you reach and grab a player like Brink, I am not sure that is smart or good move.

10 is BPA not named Caulfield or trade down. After the top 9 are gone the chance of any of the next few being separated by much is negligible imo. I’ll trust the JB’s to figure it out.

JB will have a different board, we know that from experience. I agree it should be BPA and not reach down but whoever he thinks is worthy of ten will likely be pretty great. Looks like he's taking an extra look at the dmen, I like them or Boldy. Realistically I don't mind. It's the one thing he can be completely trusted to do. I may go to the draft though, anyone else?

i will disagree entirely with the above. IF Caufield and Boldy slide into the top 9 and push say Krebs or Zegras or Cozens or Turcotte or Dach or Podkolzin, any of the "projected" top 9 out into 10th, we are getting a very good player who isn't separated into the next "tier" of prospects.

Again, that is more so a matter of opinion, because I do think they are a talent difference from 1-2, 3-15, 16-31.

As far as Caufield, I would prefer Boldy/Zegras/Krebs at 10 than him, but i wouldn't whine or complain or want to move down if Caufield was the logical and only choice at 10, despite his size, the kid is producing, and I have faith that Judd and Benning and company did their due diligence, and did what they are paid to do, and scout these kids thoroughly.

in the end, its out of our control, and its best to leave it in the hands of the professionals. I trust they get us a good player.

I will tell you I sure hope we take a Dman. Every team and their dog is taking forwards so by the time it gets to us we will be getting the middle to bottom half of the tier two forwards. I would much rather have the second best Dman of this years draft class.

The 2nd best Dman in this class is a worse prospect than any of the 2nd tier FWDs.

other than Byram, which one specifically are you hoping they get?

you stated we should reach and take Bobby Brink at 10th overall, I don't think I need to go back and read it

If the pro's decide that's not the case, I'll be happy to see another D in the prospect pipeline.

That's easily one of the worst idea's I've seen and have to say I agree with this assessment.

I forgot Newhook who i’d take ahead of Brink. FYI i said trade down if our guys are gone.

other than Byram, which one specifically are you hoping they get?
- Codes1087

As I said all along I am leaving the picks to Brackett and co. I think there is a few serviceable Dman . I seen Broberg York Heinola Soderstrom play and they are all reliable . Seider is another guy but not on anyone's radar.

I really think the US players Boldy Caulfield Zegras Hughes Turcotte will all be gone by the time our pick is there and I don't particularly care for any Canadian forwards so I would rather load up on D this year.

"I’d take Krebs pass on Caulfield. Even reach for maybe a Brink or better yet trade down."

BTW - Bobby Brink and Cole Caufield, depending on the site, have a difference of 2 inches in height. Caufield at 10 is blasphemy, Brink at 10 is ok? Just so I am clear
