Sens will take either Drysdale or Raymond at 5. Askarov wont go before the 8th pick.
Montreal will grab Holtz over Sanderson.
I agree that Sens should grab Drysdale or Raymond. Raymond is probably the player I like the most in this draft, and he will be a stud in the NHL. Drysdale would allow them to create probably the best duo in the NHL : Chabot - Drysdale. To be honest, I could see him going to Detroit, but I recently heard a rumour about Perfetti being locked at no4.
I'm not a huge fan of Holtz. I would rather a guy like Quinn, which I think is more complete than Holtz. Sanderson would also be a great addition, since I don't think Romanov will be a top2 dman.

I have byfield over stutzle. Askarov I would have at 11 below lundell, and holtz higher
IMO, nobody can predict perfectly who will go 2 and who will go 3. Stutzle is definitely closer to the NHL, where he may play next year, while Byfield will need at least another year in junior. I have chose Stutzle at 2, but Byfield would be an excellent choice. Also, if Ottawa doesn't draft Askarov, I would see NJ taking him as low as 7, or Chicago at 10. Ottawa and NJ could trade down a couple spots too to grab him.

Sens are going to take Drysdale if he's available, which he should be. He's a big solid Right Handed Dman, which is something the Senators need, him and Chabot could be the face of the D for like the next long while if they draft him.
Drysdlae would definitly be great for Ottawa. Though, I could see them drafting Rossi before Drysdale, since they lack real 1st line center potential. Adding Byfield/Stutzle and Rossi would instantly make them the team with the best prospect pool at center. Also, Drysdale is not that big (5'11 - 180)
