Well screwed again... Par for the course with this league.. Highly Competitive for years and the two down years we get dropped in the draft..

That rant over... Rossi or Drysdale would be a Homerun....

^Zegras seems great though and 6 is a great spot but, ofc, I feel you as an Ottawa fan. We have been very fortunate with that SJ pick.

at least one of those guys, if not both, should be available at 6. I can't see them both going in the top 5. I would say more likely that Drysdale is available, as I could see Detroit taking Rossi with their clear need for a center. I would hope that Ottawa doesn't take a Dman at 5, as they have a greater need of an offensively gifted winger (Raymond) than another young D prospect.....they already have lots of good ones

if they're both gone, than Perfetti will definitely be available....and a ton of people have him ranked higher than rossi. you guys are getting a great player no matter what

Talk about getting hosed.. Well you guys got it in spades along with D. Kings go to 2, what a Crock of crap.

My fear is you guys go F & D ... @ 3 & 5 and that means Drysdale is gone for us.

No to Holtz (if we are desperate for a sniper why not take Quinn who has almost as good a shot but is far more willing to go to the high traffic areas and has a much more rounded game)
No to Perfetti - just doesn’t have the skating ability and work ethic to make up for his lack of size
Yes to Rossi, he is an energiser bunny with a lot of skill
Yes to Drysdale who is a dynamic puck moving defenseman
Yes to Raymond who will be a game breaker
No to Sanderson - not a high enough ceiling
Maybe on Quinn, he seems to have very few weaknesses and is a big game player

I really hope the sens don't pass on Raymond at 5.....landing him and stutzle/byfield would be amazing for us.

That would be quite a haul...But a chance to get Drysdale and pair him with Chabot though ...Wow.. and still get and elite 1C.. I think that may be too much to pass up.

i'd rather take 2 forwards at the top and then grab someone like Justin Barron (who was ranked in the top 10 at the beginning of the year, but had a couple of injuries) with the isles pick
