I expect we wont be using all of our 2nd and 3rd round picks in this draft, I could see Shero trying to take advantage of cap-strapped teams and pulling the trigger on a Palmieri/MoJo type of trade or two. I'm not sure if i'd be upset if we keep all of the picks and make selections though.
It's also a decent free agent crop this year, baring any last minute extensions coming in, so i'd hope we'd get involved to some extent but i also see a ton of those guys getting big overpayments. I agree with Todd and i full expect us to have a busy offseason, no way in heck Shero sits on his hands after the season we just had.
Thirdly, i'm excited to see if any of our prospects make the jump! I assume Smith is likely to make the team(i'd be disappointed if he didnt), but i'm looking at guys like Jeremy Davies, Jesper Boqvist or Fabian Zetterland to see if they can take a spot in camp next season and force management's hands to keep them on the roster
Can't wait for Tuesday, go lottery balls! Land our way please! |

All the teams that have recently done re-builds at some point had more than one first round draft pick..... we need more than one first round pick....I'm not saying it is possible, I'm just saying we need it. |

Since the devils will getting at the very least a top 6 pick, how about a quick write up on the top 6 prospects in your opinion. I’m sure you’ve already done this for the other sites you write for but would love to read it if you have a link already. |

Been doing lots of note taking and data tracking on top prospects over the last little while. Will start to write more once I know what pick range they're in. Not going to spend a ton of time talking about possibilities at, say, 5th overall and then have them win the lottery and pick 1st. |

Does the “dropping 4 spots” include the pick in hand.
So the kings at the very least would be 5? |

Correct, you can only fall 3 spots from where you're currently at. Kings can pick anywhere from 1-5, they cannot fall further than that. We're 1-6 |

I did a lot of those tankathon draft sims and NJ dropped almost always. Twice went to 1st, but seemed like 4-6 was the thing. Not sure how these sims calculate stuff. |

Realistically, there is a higher chance of dropping than anything else |

Zacha's goal last night made him look like the player NJ thought they drafted. |

The question is why don’t we see more of that, at least in attempts |

Not sure if I understood Dano and Cang but did they say Elias was helping Zacha recently or did I totally misunderstand? |

37.7% chance at pick #5, that’s the highest probability. |

He's helping to coach so it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility. I hope so. Another Czech and obviously a great player. Hopefully it continues to pay off |

I pulled up some history:
Our 2015 draft forum: https://www.hockeybuzz.co...d_id=127442&forum_id=1%22
Our 2016 draft forum: https://www.hockeybuzz.co...p?thread_id=136287&page=1

Enjoy. - archromat
Wow that throwback
draft Chychrun, trade a 3rd + Merrill for Yakupov and have a Sting Alumni of Boucher, Yak, Zacha, Chychrun
trade severson +2nd, 3rd, and an additional 2nd/3rd for Hall
trade cammy for a late 1st rd pick
Hall-Rico-Palms
Boucher-Zajac-Yak
DSP-Zacha-Elias
Blandisi-JJ-Kalinin
Greene-Lars
Moore-Schlemko
Warsofsky/Chychrun-Santini/Merrill
(wakes up from dream) - Senor_Elias
This quote is crazy in a lot of ways. Hall, the fact that our lineup is significantly better than this one and yet was considered a dream, and the relics of Devils teams past. Warsofsky, Jacob Josefson, Boucher. Wow |

There are a ton of other teams with a chance to win the lotto over us. Their odds aren't that much worse individually than ours. But if you throw them all in together along with us.. they're bound to win more than we are because there's more of them.
.. at least I think I'm understanding that correctly. I'm tired, have to poop, and don't wana wake up in the morning to go to work. |

rmdevil313 is always right.
"I said from the start that Zacha is the one guy I wanted to avoid. I'll gladly eat crow in 5 years if I'm wrong. "
"But who's the best forward with subpar hockey sense? It could have been the small ice, playing center or whatever, but everytime I watched him he seemed to react to what was around him and not anticipate. Again, please rub it in my face when I'm wrong, but I'm going to be disappointed until he proves me wrong, especially if Prov becomes an all star."
idk if Zacha has subpar hockey sense. who am I kidding. he's minimally effective on office. woopdee-do.
