I doubt Drysdale drops to 5

kind of hinges on the idea sanderson is the 1st d man taken/ forwards dominate top 7

no

Not a chance he drops to 8.

no to dry dropping down? no to trade ideas? no to using words to convey thought?

No to Miller to NYI, they cant afford him and dont need him

top 3 are a given. the next 4 picks could all be forwards or Sanderson or highly unlikely Askarov.
Rossi, Raymond, Perfetti and Holtz could all go in top 7 so there is small chance.
this is more about the off chance if he fell to sabres and how that change there plan

Drysdale as an 18yr old rookie can play RD1,
but Cozens can’t even play 3C as a 19yr old...
Why?

Detroit probs drafts him at 4

If Ottawa passes on him at 5 Anaheim will almost certainly take him at 6 imo

what ever just wanted a good young bottom 6 guy and a pick back. doesnt need to be to NYI i just like dal colle s play style.

well risto and Edmundson would prob play most min but i like drysdale dahline combo idea.
Cozens is on a "rookie" line that would likely be sheltered min.
of the 3 on that line nolan would be best option down middle because has played nhl games the most so far

probable this is supposed to be mock up of how sabres would react if he fell, not saying he will fall.

i am hearing Perfetti from almost everyone and there grandma for Detroit at 4.

Were any of those people Detroit brass? I really doubt it.

Not a chance he makes the NHL right away either.

He's not getting past the Ducks at 6th that's for sure. I don't think he goes to Detroit 4th, and I doubt Ottawa takes him if Raymond is still available at 5.

Jamie Drysdale isn't falling to number 8, He wont get past Anaheim at #6 and that's a big if that both Detroit and Ottawa pass on him.

He's only linked to Detroit because both Jimmy Devallano and Chris Osgood own the Saginaw Spirit, The team he plays for and Kris Draper is a family friend as well. Yzerman has stated numerous times that he plans on watching players over in Europe this summer so cough Raymond cough Raymond. Perhaps we do take Perfetti but if i were a gambling man i wouldn't count out several players one being Jamie Drysdale.

lots of connections to Perfetti still, could also be later round players Yzerman is going to check out will just have to wait and see.
I think its a very tight race for picks 4 to 9 so i wouldn't be shocked if Drysdale drops or goes at 4.

do any gms tell who they are going to draft before the draft? its all speculation and media talking to "sources", but DiehardRedWingsFan58 posted a good little thing on Perfetti current connections to team.

you obviously have been missing how badly sabres develop prospects.

Hakan Andersson (Director of Amateur Scouting) is on the board for Frolunda so Lucas Raymond connection. Just because there is connections doesn’t mean much.

JD Burke (same guy connecting Detroit with Seider last year) says Drysdale is a discussion @2 for LA. So hoping for him @8 is extremely wishful thinking.
