Most realistic (everything is based on team needs and draft stock)

I don’t think there’s any team in the league that passes up Byfield and Stutzle at 2 or 3. I think the top 3 is set but who goes 2nd and 3rd between Byfield and Stutzle is still up for debate

I only feel Byfield drops if the picks fall in that order which they probably won’t and if Stevie Y is willing to take a bit of a risk like he did with Seider and takes Stuztle, also LA really needs wingers, they just traded Toffoli, let go of Pearson, Brown fell off a cliff and Kaliyev is their only true really good prospect at wing, so I feel LA is really going to be looking for a winger this draft

i would be shocked if rossi falls to 11 and Mysak at 27.

No chance Quinn falls that low. Habs take him.
Foerster doesn’t go that low either
And Barron is way worse than Sanderson and Schneider

I don't think that the Habs' biggest need is another centerman...
This draft isn't based on their need, which should be a guy like Holtz/Quinn

Not realistic for the sharks. The last thing we need is a steady low ceiling LHD. Sharks will go big on a risky forward like Jack Quinn or Reichel or Jarvis

Finally someone who agrees with me!

If i was the oilers, I would pick bourque or jarvis

Rossi at 11 is too good to be true...

Holtz yes at first pick but no way on REACHING for Quinn at this pick Look at the guys Quinn played with on an absolutely stacked 67s team - undrafted over Agers Austin Keating, Joseph Garreffa, Noel Hoefenmayer and then late drafted older Mitchell Hoelscher - over 1/3 of Quinn’s points were on the power play, so yes he’s great in open space and a shooter. Did Quinn make them better- maybe - did They and a bit of Marco Rossi make Quinn better - likely - is Rossi’s stats a little pumped - maybe too - if I see thru that, the scouts must see that too. IMO Quinn should go later in first round - 15-31 but certainly not top 10 - I would not be surprised to see Rossi fall to 8-12 pick. I expect Quinn’s stats to fall in his next year of junior

Hey Bergy - see my reply to Suzuki

I agree we'll chose a forward, but I don't think Jarvis or Quinn will be available when we're up to pick

Perfetti can also be in that convo. I think he’s more suited to play wing

I could see Rossi def going higher but i just think he will drop to 6-12 because of taking into account who he played with in Ottawa

Cap Friendly has Quinn in the 70’s he might be overlooked and drop because of who he played with, and Barron is more of a defensive minded defensemen compared to the other two which is something New Jersey needs

They still don’t have a true #1 center, their first line center is a winger, and with Kotkaniemi looking like he might not pan out as what they wanted him to be don’t be shocked if they take a center

But, O Rourke is another guy that plays a defense game which the sharks need because they have a lot of OFD and just traded Dillon

Thank you, and I only see Montreal going with a center because of the Kotkaniemi fiasco and the fact that most of their centers are wingers

Well yeah but I was going off his draft

We can get that from anywhere. You dont take that with your first round pick in a stacked year

Rourke easily has top 4 D potential so I don’t think it’s that much of a reach

Yes but I doubt he’ll be available

Habs will take the best player available - if that happens to be a Centre so be it but it is unlikely to be Askarov - taking a lesson from how Suzuki developed they should lean toward a player like Perfetti if the two Swedes get taken followed by Lundell and then Rossi IMO

Barron is **** defensively, I’m not a huge fan of analytics but man he’s ****, and the eye ball tests ain’t great either. Quinn is 6 for button and 10 on Sams list for Sportsnet

I think there’s only 2 guys that can be elite 1C imo in Stutzle and Byfield. I think Rossi, Perfetti, Lundell etc can be 1C but that’s only if you consider guys like Scheifele, Monahan, Bergeron as true 1Cs.
