I'd love Jack Hughes on the leafs. It would be so good for when they play the devils lol.

I'm no expert on the 2022 draft but it seems like a big stretch that Lambert would fall that far, no? Especially with the kind of WJC he's having.

This ranking is off… based on Bob McKenzie current top 16, WPG looks poised for RD Ryan Chesley, or RD Elias Salomonsson

OP: That's an interesting early draft, could you explain why you have Nemec 2OA? Do you think his stock rose that much because of the WJC or were you always that high on him? Or you simply went by team needs maybe.

But McKenzie isn't a unit of measure and was certainly off way more often than the actual draft year over year.

Yeah pretty sure his stock rose to somewhere in the 8 to 15 area, it was a great couple of games but does that erase all question marks over his season to place him top 5? Also need to keep our emotions in check ... He only played Austria and Germany.

Yes ColonelX. You are correct about what the team needs are but I don’t see Jiricek being a Top 3 pick compared to Nemec, Kemell and Savoie. I will be posting a my mock draft ranking soon so if you want to check them out. go for it

The list is spot on aside from two things:

Jets are filled with left-handed players. We need a right-shot player more than anything. Best bet would be Chelsey.
