With the 31st pick they had better be getting a guy that can at least be a 2nd line forward or 3-4 dman.

MacInnis is more of a 3rd line grinder. 37pts in 66gp doesn't scream 2rd pick.

And yet you have never watched him play have you. Weird. Stat scouts

Dougherty, Lemeuix and Barbashev should all be targets
Maybe a goalie?

He's a defensive minded center. IMO he compares to Brian Boyle.

Eliteprospects.com writes in its scouting report of MacInnis, “his speed currently lacks burst but his skating does have some upside. He’s an instinctual player who uses solid positioning to remain in the offensive play and has a heavy shot but needs to work on his release.”


If he's there at 49, then sure. At 31 and 39 IMO you have a shot to take 2 guys that could be impact players.

Enter Barbashev, McKeown.

Really want Barbashev and we can get him at 31

I'd be cool if they took Demko. I like McKeown too. Maybe we take a chance on the giant 6'7 winger with one of the later picks in the 2nd.

Sounds a lot like the scouting report on Reinhart. Lacks speed, good playmaker, 2 way center.

Sounds like a project. Like I said If he's there at 49, sure why not. At 31 and 39 they should be looking at difference makers. 1st rd talent guys that got passed over.

I like Dougherty better than McKeown, but I'd be Ok with that too
Cool thing about having these 3 picks is that we can scoop up a couple Moore good players

I'm interested in Karlsson if he's there at 39.


"I play a good physical game and like to take the puck to the net very fast," Karlsson said. "I want to set up good chances for my teammates."


"I don't think so much about [the draft], but of course it would be fun to be chosen as high as possible," he said. "There are many great players in the draft, so I know it will be tough. I like the North American style of game because I like to hit bodies and show my skills and hands to set up teammates.

I have really never watched Barbashev more than once or twice, but IMO he's like the Russian version of Pommer, smart offensively under rated and a two way player
