I would add to this list if some how silayev Dickinson Helenius or Demidov are available

Parekh
Catton
Buium
Yakemchuk
Silayev
Dickinson
Helenius
Demidov

One of those guys will be there at #10
(Assuming Celebrini and Levshunov are also gone)

Any reason you think the Devils would trade down? Seems like a year where the top 10-12 are looking a lot more promising than the next tier of guys. I know I wish the Blues would've done a little more losing to secure that top10 spot.

I wouldn't move from 10th to 14th for anything less than a late 1st (Post lottery with no change) which may be too much for a team to swallow. NJ is going get a core piece of their future at 10 IMO. Not sure they will at 14. Not saying that is "fair" value just that it would have to be absurd value to make that downgrade. IMHO the top 10 are locks. May even extend to 12 but after that I feel there is a drop off. Not necessarily in talent but in likelihood of reaching potential.

Kind of reminds me of the 2011 draft. If you got top 10, you don't trade down.

This is a draft where anything from 5-15 or so is about the same prospect caliber. It will all just be down to preference, which is why I don't think there are going to be a lot of teams looking to make big moves up the board unless a guy you have super high happens to fall 5+ spots. Pretty much everyone outside of Celebrini has a real wart to their game that makes them very risky (which is why this is viewed as a pretty weak draft class).

Can't see the caps moving Beck (with how well the fourth line plays together) for this package. Maybe if it were Beck and a Fourth for a Second they might do that

I disagree about that range but that's just my amateur opinion of course. I think the top 3-10 are interchangeable only. After that it starts to be a little more grey.

Your proposal is fair value wise but I’d personally rather just hold onto him. Love Beck’s game.

I see it as roughly

Tier I: Celebrini

Tier II: Levshunov, Demidov, Catton, Eiserman

Tier III: Buium, Connelly, Dickinson, Silayev, Lindstrom, Yakemchuk, Iginla, Helenius, Greentree, Brandsegg-Nygard, Boisvert, Parekh, Chernyshov, Jiricek

(A few of those guys bounce around between II and III)

So I would agree with SJS2212 in that the 6-15 range is a little similar and unless one of the top few fall, it could make some sense for NJD to move back and add an asset or two.

In the scenario above, they turned #10 pick into 3C, 4LW and still drafted Brandsegg Nygard (a guy that could have selected at #10). Most of our core is already built, thanks to years of high draft picks, so we mainly just have to address specific holes in lineup.

(Devils brass may have other plans…including trading the pick outright).

Respectfully disagree with that tier 2 and 3. Having Jiricek in the same tier as guys like Buium and Parekh is.... a choice.
