Thread: My top 32 Rank (Not Draft) Give opinions thanks
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BillytheKid3</b></div><div>That's not... that's not really the argument I'm making here. Most of the guys in the top 17 will need a year or 2 of development also so that point is irrelevant.

My argument is he's on the younger side of the prospects (which does matter at that age) and that I don't think he falls all the way out of the top 10, and certainly not down to 17.

Every year every pick between like 7-50 can be a toss up because these are basically kids your picking from. Even late round guys develop well.

The kid broke the USNTDP record for goals in a season and he's like 6 months to a year younger than 95% of this draft class, I just don't think a team at like 10th passes that up because Zadina was a bust 7 years ago and some guy at The Athletic thinks he's a cherry picker.

I don't know, I could be wrong. I just don't want Ottawa to draft another bust tbh lol.</div></div>

Who are your busts? Boucher? Thompson? I don't think JBD is a bust. Maybe Colin White?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BillytheKid3</b></div><div>Ya guys see Pronmans rankings and think teams will just straight go by that. I've been debating [arguing] a few Caps fans about this.

My comment recycled from another thread below:

"I know we're all armchair analysts here, and you're mock draft is very interesting. That kid is one of the purest goal scorers I've ever seen.

Keep in mind, Eiserman is a basically a September 06 (Aug 29th) so he's one of the youngest players in this draft. I could only imagine what another 8 months to a year could do. Someone graabs the kid in the top 10."</div></div>

I will say, everyone gave into my logic on the other post.

For a shortened version here:

Eiserman has the talent for his offensive ability but he is not a complete player and is a ways off from being NHL ready. Needs probably another 2 years of development.

Here is the point I made. Look back to the 2018 draft and look at the hype around Filip Zadina. He was seen as the same type of prospect, a massive offensive threat that had his shot going for him. Teams passed on him because he was not a complete player and I am sure Detroit wishes they could go back and pass on him as well. Not saying Eiserman will pan out the same way, but that is the type of risk you take with this kind of player.

Talent wise absolutely, but you know just as well as I do that teams get locked in on certain prospects in the top 10 and end up taking reaches or picks that you are not quite sure of as a fan, or they see things differently than we do. Prime example of that is Zadina, fans and others swore he was going to be a top goal scorer in the league but never translated that well. There are always surprises in a draft and I am certainly looking forward to those this coming draft

Really hope they take Nabokov in the 2nd too.</div></div>

A lot of Mocks (from insiders and draft analysts) showing they project him to drop pretty far. Personally, I think MBN is the better all around player at that spot. But I also think Connelly is a top 10 talent and people give him a hard time for a mistake he made. I would be thrilled with any of those three or even Greentree as a Caps fan so I guess the order from 10-20 will be interesting to see how it plays out.
