Thread: Pietrangelo amp Lafreniere
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Halla</b></div><div>yeah why would Ottawa want a pair of young 20g/40+pt wingers and a young C that has twice had 40+pts already when they can keep 2nd rd picks that have yielded them absolutely nothing in recent memory.

go back a DECADE and the most successful sens 2nd rd is Shane prince with 128 games...dude is now in the KHL
keep the picks. one of em might be an NHLer one day</div></div>

I don't think Johnsson is a regular 20 goal scorer in the NHL. He had 8 goals in 43 games this year. Also Kerfoot is a good 3C, but the Sens don't need another 3C. They have Tierney and White who are both solid 3Cs, and they have Norris and Brown who could end up in that role depending on how the draft shakes out, though I think both have higher upside than that.

These guys aren't bad players, but they're all guys who are best suited to 3rd line roles. The Sens are composed predominantly of players who are better suited to 3rd line roles. They should absolutely look to use the insane depth of picks/prospects to add at the NHL Level, but they need to add to the top of their lineup, not the middle.

Thread: Weird idea huge moves
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>Why are people suddenly so high on Perfetti? Hes not better than Rossi, Raymond, or Drysdale. Hes a LW that desperately needs to improve his skating. Will he be top 10? Yes, will he be top 5? If a team picks him there I'm certain they will regret it</div></div>

The skillset he has is absolutely elite. His speed is average, but that's something that can be improved. It's certainly not so bad that it should keep anyone from taking him. And his puck skills and hockey sense more than help him make up for the lacking foot speed.

I would rather Raymond, but Perfetti is a fine option at 5th overall. I didn't include Drysdale because I think Ottawa needs another forward 5th, and I think Rossi goes 4th to Detroit.
