Not to be critical, but you have New Jersey taking Askarov, when they have Blackwood as the future starter and I can see goalie-desperate teams like Calgary and Chicago trading up to get him.

It would be a travesty if the Leafs got Alexis Lafreniere, The whole reason of the #1 pick is to help bad teams not contending teams.

Why do scouts hate Lucas Raymond?

I don't think SJ will pick a pure-offense Dman like Poirier while they still have Karlsson and Burns signed for many years.

Interesting Colorado pick. Not sure Guhle makes it that far though. Dmen with mobility and size tend to be valued highly in the draft.

Merkley is a boom or bust pick it would be nice for the Sharks to have a safer option

they don't "hate him" there was just a number of scouts that don't like him as much as the general public. they think his development might take a little longer, he got pushed off pucks a little too easy in the SHL last year. I personally don't really agree, I think he could be close to a point per game next year in Sweden. I'm really hoping we can get him at 7.

NJD would take Quinn over Askarov at 11 there, they already have a future starter and goal scorers on the wing is their biggest positional need.

Would you rather have Holtz or Raymond?

It's pretty close but I would say Raymond, he's more refined, he's not as good of a scorer but he is underrated in that regard, he's better at most things offensively, more dynamic etc. I would be thrilled with Holtz as well but as of right now I'm leaning Raymond. My dream is that we take one of them at 7 and then the other one falls to us with the AZ pick, pretty unlikely but you never know.

That would be great but that would not happen. I wouldn't mind getting Raymond with 7 and Quinn with AZ pick

Those would be my preferred picks in each spot, would gladly take that!

Kniazev - 2nd round pick in 2019, project defenseman but strong upside.
Pasichnuk - one of the higher sought after NCAA FA’s this year. Strong, mobile puck moving dman. Only 23
Merkley - how much do you know about his last 3 seasons? I know a lot, i wonder if you know more than me? Im guessing not.

Do your homework before commenting on a team you probably almost never watch.

We dont need D.

Omigosh. Sharks whole frickin prospect pool is a disaster. They could use a safer top 4 defenceman. You’re giving a lot of unearned praise to Pasichnuk. Honestly, I haven’t heard his name until this season. I think Kniazev isn’t going to be an amazing D, but a solid one. Sharks could use another solid D. Remember in December when Team Canada didn’t even invite Merkley to the game against the Canadian University all stars? That says a lot right there. Dale Hunter, Andre Tourigny, and Mitch Love are no joke. Sure, you can say that you don’t need D. But the Sharks need serious help EVERYWHERE
