I'd like them to move into the top 10. If they can do that, these are my targets by priority.

Dobson
Bouchard
Zadina
Wahlstrom
Boqvist

Would love if Hayton fell to them at 14 but wouldn't move up much for him. I don't mind Farabee at 14 but not someone I'd be excited about. I want them to go after someone the scouts fully agree on as an impact player. They can afford to do it.

This is the reason I kind of want them to take guys like Miller and Berggren at 14 and 19. They can give them time to develop and I think both have high potential.

Not unless Quebec has an iconic fountain where Ovechkin can hold the cup and poopty bands can play pre-show concerts.

Bizarre. Who wins a cup and says "Hey, you know what... I'd rather coach the Islanders."
- hereticpride


Caps are probably 2-3 seasons away from a full rebuild. They've traded a lot of draft picks away in recent years, and their cupboard is pretty bare. Carlson may not re-up, and OV might bolt for Russia after 2021.

Barzal and $ are two good reasons to pick the Isles.

(It got a lot likelier that they hang on to JT now too)

I just did an out of this world prediction on selections, not based on my rankings...because my rankings are poop.

He's only 21, but I think we can begin calling Virtanen a bust.

That seems very terrible.

After what he just did this past year, and given his contract, Ghost should be up near the top of the untouchable list after Provorov, Frost, and Couturier.

I don't know if Lucic is worth taking #10. The phrase big was probably the key.

Yes, that marginal improvement for $7M+ per year on the wrong side of 30 would be so worth it.
