Detroit needs to save any of their 1st rounders for the DEEP draft this summer! Hopefully they can get another one for that!

Just so we're clear, you don't think Seth Jarvis, the 13th overall pick in 2020 who is scoring at around a 50 pt pace at age 19, is worth a 1st round pick?

Vincent Trocheck, who has 70 points in his last 85 games, isn't worth a 1st round pick?

Ilya Samsonov, who is posting a .903 save percentage, and has a career .906 is worth a 1st but Freddie Andersen with his .928, is not? Just making sure here.

#5 NY Islanders: 6 players
Lee
Barzal
Pelach
Dobson
Varlamov
Soroykin-EK


I don't think he's on the Islanders' roster. I think he's the guy who opened the Ark in Raiders of the Lost Ark and then had his face melted off.

OK let me get this straight...
7 (SEVEN!) first round picks on a team LAST in the Metro, Losers of 11 straight--a 2nd 10 game or more losing streak in this season.. No Philly Bias here.....

Not sure I understand the exercise.

Some players here are worth multiple first rounders and some players worthy of a first rounder are omitted.

And flyers should be a division leader with this data.

I stopped reading at Carey Price. You would trade a 10th overall pick for Carey Price. I know people use this expression a lot (ie I stopped reading) but in this case I truly did. Can't even imagine the names that followed.

i think with heavy salary retention it wouldn't surprise me if he got a good pick like that

Speaking of 1st round picks; Logan Mailloux has looked really, really good in his first few games in Londy, even drawing Burnsy comparisons. Hopefully the loser libs woke brigade don't run this kid outta town. He should be a fixture on the Habs back-end for decades.


That blue line come up is looking vicious.


Romanov, Guhle, Mailloux, Brook, Xhekaj, Harris, Struble, Fairbrother and Norlinder and then you realize the Gortonater hasn't even got started yet.


A bright, bright future is upon us.


Romy settling in nicely, already 2nd in the league in hits. Big boy hockey

every fan thinks their prospects are the bestest. That really doesn't strike me as an amazing list. A couple of years ago, the Avs had Byram, Makar, Girard, Connor Timmins, Justin Barron. Pretty much all A list prospects on defense. TAHT is a great group.

Matthews, McDavid, guys like that would get far more than 2 firsts.

He's an 18 year old kid, and it happened when he was 17, let's lay off him.

Wait the criteria is 10th overall?! That makes this even more nonsensical.

The way it reads to me is "only" the 10th overall. Not the 9th or the 11th or any other pick
