WAG (Wild A$$ Guess)

Gauthier
Lambert
Beck

No trades day 1. 41 could be one of the Russian kids. At some point grab a goalie.

It's a no-brainer if Gauthier is there right? Think we riot if Adams was to pass.

I just think that as mixed up as these mock drafts are, there’s going to be a few surprises. Everyone says the overall talent from 1-20 (or more) is good so the asking price for those picks should be high which may cut down the trades. Should be an entertaining draft 🥳🍺

I don't really like what I've read of Lekkerimaki - so I'd stay away from him.

I really like Savoie at 9 if he's there!

I like Nazar & Snuggerud as well - could we end up with both at 16 and 28 (in either order)?

I think Chesley is intriguing too, and although we don't seem to care much, his R shot could keep him out of contention for us...

What's everyone's read on Lambert? I've read he could fall to the 2nd round - that would be a steal IMO - I'd even take a swing at 28...

*Edit - I don't think Yurov is worth the risk either

Lambert looks dominant during the games but he struggles to get on the score sheet. It’s fair to say he’s a project. This is my interpretation of what I’ve heard from different analysts so take it or leave it.

I think many of us are assuming that we will be picking the 7th best foward at the 9 spot and at that point it’s more of a reach for possible 1st line scoring potential in lekkerimaki. I’d imagine wright, cooley, slaf, gauthier, savoie and kemell are all gonna be picked ahead of us. Also the 2 RHD’s in nemec and jiricek will be gone too.

Guys like nazar and kasper are less shooters and more hard nosed. There’s also the Russian factor with the war and a top end project like miro was diagnosed with Hodgkins lymphoma. Lastly I cannot fathom is taking a left handed defenseman in the top portion of the draft.

In reality we all don’t know but that’s just my take.

Good info! I've read Nazar is not the most skilled player, but I like his speed. I know I'm probably being overly critical with Lekkerimaki and Yurov, but I hate to see the concerns about taking plays off.

Drafts aren't usually that clean. One or two of those guys will probably be there.

Seems like a lot of people are cooling off on Savoie.

I wonder if Arizona goes with the hometown kid in Gauthier and shakes up the top of the draft.

Pushes one of the top 5 guys down a peg and influences the Sabres to move up for the guy they want.

Only one who really knows is Gerbe hahaha
