Drysdale not getting any love from NBCSN. His name called and they cut to commercial, then interview Lafreniere after the ads.

Bettman not looking very healthy. I bet he retires as soon as the start of the 20/21 season is figured out. I wish him well.

He does look very tired.

Byfield celebration made Lafreniere look like a funeral

Raymond 4th to Detroit makes sense. Just look at his scouting report. But that meant Perfetti still on board. The fast rising rate Sanderson does sneak into top five when Ottawa choose to go one forward, one dman and took Sanderson over Drysdale. So wiz is correct about Sanderson moving up. Now we wait and see how Perfetti/Drysdale plays out and just whom might grab the Russian goaltender early.

Blackhawks would have to make a trade most likely if Quinn is whom they want. Holloway might fall to #17. I bet Montreal takes the French kid if he is still on board despite concern over his health. But that alone does not mean Holloway slides to us.

And I do not imagine any scenario anyone we sensibly trade insifar as to move up for Quinn or whomever

I want Iaroslav Askarov so bad I can taste it
- HoldenCaufield

Hawks will need to make a move soon for that to happen .Come on Stan you got this .

[quote=jhawk59]
Ok then next two selections make sense but Perfetti still on board. Buffalo next. No home town P Kane but they can take Perfetti. He may not be perfect fit like P Kane would but should be no complaints with Perfetti. Right.

P Kane is whom Buffalo fans dream about. But Sabres should have a good add here.

Update
Buffalo takes Quinn. Perfetti still available but next, does Guerin choose Askarov ..
Whom would sooner (or later ?) Replace Dubynyk

LOL I got kicked out of my draft site admin before slot 6 still tying to get back in...

Draft looks like it's going to plan. #9 coming up would have been the Hawks pick. Could have had Perfetti, Rossi, Askarov.

Don't listen to Duffman Stan!

No draft Hawk moves are coming and I love that the Russian goalie is dropping

Perfetti is a Freakin steal at 10 omigosh

I might as well share my additional comments here:


Cole Perfetti Knock him all you want, he IS smaller, but an elite thinker who never stops battling to win pucks with a sniper’s mentality.

Drysdale: This junior career as a solid new age defender with a terrific initial burst. Who generates offense and is able to handle business the other way.

Alexander Holtz A sniper with size, strong hands, a dynamite release and under-rated playmaking ability.

Marco Rossi. He may be stocky and under 5’10” , but he plays well both ways, and is a high-paced playmaker who plays centre smartly & with fearlessness.

Anton Lundell Tell me again how he is 3rd or 4th line centre?

Seth Jarvis. When you play like you are the best player in Junior hockey for the last month, teams notice.

Dawson Mercer His high-end hockey IQ and vision gets him a step ahead of the opposition when he makes zone entry.

Yaroslav Askarov. A rare right catching goalie who is being touted as the next greatest star net-minder.

Jack Quinn. His speed makes him hard to handle, but his shot is what see already in place, while the rest comes together.

Braden Schneider He takes care of his end; the rest will come.

Hendrix Lapierre This guy has proven he is STILL one of the top attackers in the class. His upside is higher than his downside.

Dylan Holloway Don’t judge him by his first college season against older guys-he has a upside in all phases as a winger too.

Jacob Perreault Yanic’s son had both one of the best forehand shots in this draft, but one heck of a backhand too!

Connor Zary Worrried unnecessarily about his feet? He CAN compete. High character and skilled prospect who was his team’s leader.

Kaiden Guhle One of the drafts better all-around skaters, he may be ready sooner than later

Ridly Greig. The centre-wing has great edging, a sprinkle of nasty and an under-rated skill set

Mavrik Bourque His edgework allows him time to feed his linemates, and his smarts leads to deceptive carries than lead to goals

Noel Gunler We finally know which team is willing to take a good-sized, high skilled winger who prefers not taking a hit…

John-Jason Peterka Hard to plays against; also hard to imagine as a primary attacker.

Lukas Reichel Robert’s nephew iis a smart playmaker who played against German pros, but is still working on his 200 foot game.

Rodion Amirov A nice bargain at this point, if you can get g him over and acclimated…

William Walinder A huge framed defender who needs to work to have the pieces fall in place.

Justin Barron Did his blood clot issues drop him onto the bargain rack? Good be a great value here.

Helge Grans A big puck carrying defenseman with a reliable two way game because he keeps it simple.

Brendan Brisson Far from the finished product, but there’s a lot of folks projecting a high end final product.

Ryan O’Rourke Typecast as a finesse defenseman, but the edge will com e after the muscle arrives.

Jan Mysak Dynamic skater and competitor with a lightning-flash release.

Jake Neighbors The grit sandpaper and power are there. Can he add add major league legs and scoring flash?

Thomas Bordelau This high end scorer needs to improve his skating, but when he does, watch out!

Marta Khusnutdinov. May not translate to teams go-to forward, but man, when he jumps on the ice, it seems like he makes things happen.

Tyson Foerster The size and and quick release are there, but the boots have to get lighter….

Jérémie Poirier Looks like a big time attacker, who can’t stop attackers coming against him.

Stan doesn’t do anything fun 😂

You want thrills. Fun times. Say Minny takes the goaltender. Perfetti avsilable next to Jets. They want a center and dmen. Rossi,?

Or they trade first round picks with Chicago. They hey Beaudin. But that is not enough: Jets in control here. I dk what else. But they could demand Saad and give back a #2 2020. The Jets can draft Jarvis here too and no trade. They could get good value with ppsdibly Zary and or Holloway at #17. They could flip Saad fir a later #1 and draft a dman. Jets come out of the draft adding some good talent at the expense of moving down

Whom would you draft of Askarov goes to Wild and we are next?

He does look very tired.
- StLBravesFan

He is ill I am sure...he is shaking

Don't listen to Duffman Stan!
- HawkintheD

I don't think he will . Love these different family celebration

zuh

Askarov to Nashville...

So. much for that midget holding the job after Rinne...

Thank Christ the Russian is off the board

Hang in there Duffy. The sun will rise tomorrow and I'msure it will be a beautiful day.

All Team Askarov heading for the ledge now?
