Well, 5.

Mostly I just found it interesting how different the lists were and how I have guys for the Canes at 13 listed higher than he has guys for the Flyers at 18.

Draft is all over the map.

Nashville trded rights to Jimmy Vesey to Buffalo for a 3rd rounder

Gotta think the Sabres have something in place with Vesey's agent, right?

Ive got my final list of guys possibly available at 18. In order from most wanted on down to guys I would move back for. * indicates guys I would take after moving back.

Bellows
McLeod
Rubstov
Bean
McAvoy
Kunin
Gauthier*
Jones*
Abramov*
Tufte*

I honestly feel like Kunin is going to be the pick though. Just seems like the kind of player our scouts like.

- hereticpride


I like the list but think Kunin is a bit small for what they need. Surprised you don't have Jost on your list. I would be all over Bellows and Jones is higher on my list.

A handful of guys will be very interesting where they will go. Bellows, Kunin, Rubtsov, Fabbro, McAvoy, Bean, McLeod.....this draft is pretty wide open after 4, but those guys I listed i honestly have no clue where the (frank) they go. At 18 that's more of a problem than 13.

Yeah, Kunin is a bit small but if he meets his expectations you've got to take him regardless of size.

I left Jost off as I think most people have him going well ahead of 18. If he were on the board at 18 I would probably run to the podium.

That is a price much higher than I expected, but he is RFA and young

Jost is gone by 12. No way he makes it to 18.

Kunin is 1 inch and 5 lbs smaller than Bellows

All you read is, it's a buyers' market for goalies....Ducks get 1st & 2nd rounders for Andersen

Goalie market the last 2 seasons seems to have gone up. First Jones, this. Makes you wonder what Neuvy could fetch. 2 not exactly starters of similar age have gotten essentially 1st round picks.

It's a price like this that helps me to understand how Cam Ward got a contract.

Wasn't Andersen taken 40+ picks after Stolarz? Have to think the Flyers can get a similar package for Stolarz.

Who still need a goalie? Calgary? They do have 3 2nd rounders...

He's also 26. Stolarz is 22. This is your shtick though, so please do continue....

Yep, I want no part of that kid or his reps.

Them. Dallas if they didn't have half their cap spent on the Dyanmic Duo...a 31st pick and a 2017 2nd, which surely will be a high one....that's fantastic value for a good, not entirely proven starting goalie. Damn.

It's the Pens first so it's pick 30. Basically tow seconds. Technically a 1st and a second. I think the Leafs did okay with that trade if Anderson performs.

Problem is... goalies go there to watch their career tank. The team in front of them has been horrid and so any soft goal becomes magnified.

Makes sense. I was positing the other day if Florida would swap 1sts and 2nds with us to get a stud puck mover bc they could use another.

What happened to Boston? I thought they were just waiting for Yandle to be available this time. (okay... each time they're the front runner on Yandle. Friedman hasn't gotten the memo.)
