WHO DO YOU HAVE GOING TOP 5??? 1. San Jose 2. Chicago 3. Anaheim 4. Columbus 5. Montreal

@CouldntBeFowler

6 күн бұрын

Anaheim is going forward. D is not a need. They are picking up a veteran top 4 RD and are log jammed on the left side. They’ll look to build around a protectable core of Luneau, Mintyukov and Zellweger. Up front they have an opportunity to get deeper and hedge against uncertainty with Zegras. They also are looking to bolster specifically their right side but will take best available (highly debatable) if they decide the fit is there. I honestly think they are looking at Demidov (Verbeek has visited him in person), Lindstrom (100% and Verbeek player but runs into a congested C/Lw group. But if Zegras is getting moved?) Catton (Ducks prioritize high Hockey IQ and need goal scoring… pay close attention to and have had much success in the WHL). They have 8 names so I can see a few others in the debate including Levshunov and Parekh but I think the forward pick makes more sense for their long term potential being that they can protect a core of 7 forwards with expansion drafts coming and can really improve their depth up front with the 3OA.

@@gp1237 I get that lol but you can’t create offense if your offense can’t contain pressure or create anything for themselves. You’re saying Levshunov should be the #1 defenseman on the hawks. That means he’s going to be going against every teams top lines. If you think Levshunov can even handle going against mcdavid, draisaitl, barkov, Mackinnon, Crosby, or any top line you’re delusional. Levshunov is lazy on the back end, doesn’t battle for pucks behind the net or in the corners, consistently leaves his defensive responsibilities. Wouldn’t you rather have a forward who can create his offense by himself who would take immense pressure of of our #1 forward in Connor bedard. What you’re saying is if you’re the oilers and you just draft Connor mcdavid and the next year you have the chance to take Leon draisaitl you’d rather take ekblad over draisaitl. Mcdavid definitely wouldn’t be in the finals without draisaitl right now. We need forwards, we need offense.

As an isles fan I hope we do get Greentree. I’m usually wary about picking players that can’t skate that well (MDC, Reinhart, Bellows, etc) but his skating seems to have a lot of room for improvement, and he can think the game plenty fast. Maggio played with him for a season, so I doubt the isles don’t pick him if he’s available as they like to pick multiple players from the same org

One of the most realistic drafts I’ve seen except Iginla at 5. A reporter leaked the Canadians preference order at number 5 on Twitter/X and they want Demidov, Lindstrom, or Becket Sennecke. You nailed it on the Blues at 16 they will take Yakemchuk, Brandsegg-Nygard, Greentree, or trade down. I realistically could see them trading up to snag any of the first two names.

With Strome locked up for 4 more seasons, PLD for 7 more seasons, Lapierre (currently top line C in the AHL Calder Cup Finals) and McMichael both recent first round draft picks...not sure Washington can afford to pick a Center here. They need RHD prospects. They need LW scorers. I think they have to move up a couple spots to that #10-#12 pick using some of their 2nds and 3rds. Take Eiserman or Yakemchuk or even Connelly. They have needs and another 2C isn't it. They need to move quantity for quality. They have to get someone who has top line/pairing potential ceiling, even if they're a bit of a project.

Interested to see who my caps draft

wish you wouldve looked at the hawks prospect pool for pick 18, cause they have 0 need for a LHD, not to say solberg is a bad player, or even a reach there, but the hawks #1 or #2 need is a RHD like emery, elick, or others, maybe you have them taking a couple in the 2nd/3rd but any LHD drafted by the hawks will likely never see anything better than 3rd line minutes, as vlasic and korchinski show a lot of promise, as does Ethan Del Mastro

I would hope the Isles don't pass on Luchanko. With Nelson and Pageau in their thirties, and Horvat in his late twenties, I'd like to see the Isles add Luchanko and his energy. Danny Nelson (last year's pick) would be a good 3rd line C down the road.

the last thing the hawks need is another LD. if we dont take lev at 2, im hoping for badinka or emery at 34. no RD is worth the mid rounder

I don’t hate Yakemchuk by any means but this is almost a realistic worst case scenario for Buffalo. Helenius imo is the pick in this mock. The next best Center after Tage and Cozens on the depth chart is Ostlund. They rly can’t afford to make Krebs the 3c, he’s just not been that good. more of a 4th liner than a guy like Cirelli. In terms of need I rly think it’s Center first, RHD second. Every high-pick forward with Center hopes became a winger for us, but Catton has shown no reason to think he’s gonna shift to Wing

Hoping the ducks trade down. They’ve drafted high too often and are entering a new phase going from BPA to best fit. Ideally they convert the 3rd and 31/32 into 9th and 10th. I’m thinking Silayev + Sennecke would be more ideal, projectable and size that Verbeek has been leaning towards.
