Fair enough, both have a lot left to prove this year so that could very well be the case.

I think Eichel is the best 2nd best prospect (weird sentence) since Malkin

He won't Imo ...

1.. 2.. 3 .. are done IMO 4 will be battle Konecny or Barzal wild card for 4 is Zacha
he will be money

Gerbs you are up on this stuff...who would you recommend for a LW in the draft...and what the hell...how about a RW as well?
It's early for me to be into it such that I know Thea e guys...I usually start brushing up hard in late November to prepare for the WJ's in Late Dec. ( I take the week off between the holidays so I can watch as much as possible.)

yes for 4 it will be a battle who knows dylan strome might be in a mix with a huge year ..


all in all it's a great year to suck lol ... can't wait

It's possible, but you can never count out a team that has a guy like John Tavares. They've got real talent in that lineup and made serious improvements, can't really see them being anywhere near the bottom line unless something goes crazy wrong.
- Sabresfan-365

Well except for the short season they have been top 5 pick for like 6 years, I don't think the improvements were that good and they lost moulson

Better than Doughty? I know he's not forward but...

I just feel that by the end of the world juniors McDavid will put some distance between him and Eichel, but they've both got enough talent that it could go either way.

And now's about the time where they will pay off. Strome, Reinhart potentially Brock Nelson, Anders lee.

They could definitely surprise this year.

the Player to watch for will be yevgeni svechnikov he is probably ranked around 25 or so but i think he will Sky Rocket up the ranks maybe like tyler sequin did in his draft

I also like Greenway he might make his way up to the top ten .. but I'm hoping the blues just suck so maybe we can get him at around 13 lol...

lots of centers in this draft this is the year to get a great one ..

That blue line though...... Imagine if Hamonic went down

didn't they also lose someone on defense too? and what of okposo doesn't play as well as last year?

would i be a spoiled brat if we get connor mcdavid and i want us to suck for sean day

I don't remember how hyped Doughty was, but I think Eichel is close to as good of a prospect as Mackinnon.

I don't know, I really would love him here

Yea that blue line may prevent them from being a playoff team, but i think they have enough up front and in goal that they shouldn't be part of the lottery discussion.

yes

Don't worry about it Jaroslav Halak will be hurt in 6 weeks and all will be good...

- sbroads24

Yea I can't say i'd be disappointed if we ended up drafting him

I think it's safe to assume the Isles pick will be at least top 6
- Herzeleid

I wouldn't say it is safe to assume that. I can see them anywhere from fighting buffalo and Carolina for last to fighting for the 8th place spot. The defense/goaltending and JT recovery will be key

They have a young D with a limited vet presence. That has to be scary to a team wanting playoffs

meh, and let's see how he plays behind said meh

Just finished watching a video of last years mayhem in TO in the preseason. Freakin' Phyllis Kessel and his hatchet swings at Scott's legs...he was deliberately trying to break his ankle. Then after all the fights are done and Scott is still tied up by another Laffs player, he comes over and spears him. God, what a freakin' wussy he is. Would love to see Stafford or Stewart clean his clock tonight.
So happy hockey is back...I'm pumped to watch this team play, see some of the youngin's develop along side some decent mentors!

27-13 Bills

Spiller 150+ yards rushing

They finally throw to Williams and it pays off

Agreed. Plus he is a very smart hockey player. Once he adjusts to the speed of the game and gets comfortable he will be fine.

And that's something he won't be able to do if he gets sent back to Juniors.
