If he is Available I could see Flames selecting Ceulemans

If Lysell was already taken, then yes, but with Lysell still on the board, he'd be hard to pass up.

Highly doubt SJ ever selects Wallstedt, especially over Eklund, Johnson, and Lysell.

Sharks need a top G desperately.

Which they sure as hell ain't blowing a top 10 pick on, especially since SJ DOES NOT draft goalies, and doesn't have any true top prospects.

So many things here that just is very questionable.
Eklund at #13? Guessing you don’t know much about him?
Then there is so much more, I don’t even know where to start..

All the more reason to draft one.

I’ll admit Eklund should probably go higher but that really depends on whether or not he plays C in the NHL. Some rankings have him as LW. I think Mason McTavish might have pushed him out of the top ten. I do not think he’s necessarily better than Guenther, Johnson or Beniers. He could or should go higher than Chaz Lucius but that guy is a pure sniper. Is Eklund better than any of the D picked ahead of him? Maybe. I do not think so. He has skill but he’s a bit small and might turn into a perimeter player in the NHL. This bumps him out imo. I could eventually be proven wrong. That happens but right now I’m not convinced.
I definitely should have Coronato going higher but I forgot about him.
Raty might go higher but his draft stock is a bit erratic. He could go top 15 or much later. There’s going to be a lot of intrigue this year. And several surprises.
What else do you disagree with?

Great but let’s take a dual threat top six winger instead. Sharks never draft goalies, the scouting department just doesn’t believe in it

Well, a lot will be more clear after the lottery. But I think this draft is overweighted to North America vs Europe. I just don’t see how Buffalo should go with Hughes before Eklund as an example? Guenther is just not that good to be in top 5. Maybe top 10.

Lysell, I can see him drop to very late in first after not so impressive year.
Pastujov: I think he drops to second round
L’heureux might drop to late first or second round
Edmonton will most likely not pick a goalie even they need one.
Othmann and Dean will go in first round.

Which is why they have G issues. I’d be keen to draft a top G prospect and then develop him slowly for the future.

Maybe, I’m just saying it won’t happen so don’t get your hopes up. I think Detroit takes him as they have plenty of time and would have him ready for when they are actually good

I think SJ will have plenty of time since they are thru being contenders.
