If they trade up, I hope they take wallander, he's my steal of the draft, I put him as shea Weber 2.0

San Jose doesn't do that

You know Detroit picks before San Jose in the 2nd round right? So why are they trading up for san jose pick when they can just take him at 32?

Good point. Well I guess the trade is for Marat then.

Not a fan of William. He’s fallen off my board quite a bit he can be a defensive liability sometimes. He should be late 2nd/3rd rounder.

Pavel Gogolev isn't a steal. He's a 20 year old playing with teenage kids.
4 years in the OHL and he finally did something.

You know he's trading EDM's and WSH's 2nds right?

Raymond A
Reichel (32?) B+
Marat anywhere in the second A+
That right there wins you the draft...
I doubt Gogolev would be the steal of the draft, he's fun, and a really good player, but he is in his DY+2 I believe

Can say with confidence Yzerman will be drafting one of LaF, Stutzle, Byfield or Drysdale, one of which is guaranteed to be available at 4.

Not getting laf byfield or stutzle would be a loss for this team. They desperately need talent and as much as I like Drysdale or Rossi or Raymond I like the top 3 so much better. Haula I see a lot and while he would be an upgrade at the 2nd center itsnot a solution so a short term deal like that I dont mind.

Drysdale doesn't excite me at all, I hope its a top 3 pick not 4

How? He's a fantastic skater (one of the best of the class) and a Right handed Dman. Exactly what this team needs. 1. Laf 2. Stutzle 3. Drysdale for me

A rd isnt a must for this team with seider and hronek already in the fold if drys was a Id I'd be more excited about him. I'm hoping for laf obviously but I wouldn't be upset by stutzle.

The Wings have to take bpa regardless of position and at 4 if they pass on Raymond for Drysdale it would be a huge mistake. This team needs playmakers they used a top of draft capitol on defenseman over the years. They have to have a strong forwards draft.
