Post Lottery

IMO, Holtz is really not the BPA at 9. I would rank Sanderson and Quinn ahead of him.

Fair enough! I had a few guys like that where they could definitely move up or down a couple spots.

Dorian has been scouting a lot in the German league he even said this in an interview after the lottery. He has 2 players (Byfield and Stutzle) in the same ranking. I haven't seen anything that says they have Perfetti ranked really highly above other prospects. They tend to not tip their hats with who they are looking at. I've heard that about Detroit but not the Sens on Perfetti. They need a center way more than they need a dman even though they have a few. They don't have one that's as skilled as Byfield or Stutzle. They have forwards sure but not a high end one at all. Stutzle will be their 3rd pick if LA takes Byfield.

You're probably 100% right! As a Detroit fan...I was just trying to be optimistic for them haha. 99.99% chance that it goes Lafreniere then Byfield/Stutzle.

I saw your a Wings fan and as a die hard fan of my own team, I totally get that your trying to stay optimistic, but there's no way Ottawa passes up on Stutzle. I also disagree, and believe they are stronger on the backend then upfront.

I would have to agree with you there. I know Detroit will still get a great player at 4, but picking in the top 3 I think you're getting a player who's a cut above the rest.
