Quoting: CHUG
I'm just basing it off of Button's prospect ranking that those guys are ranked around 21. I agree that they probably won't drop, but Geekie (29) and McGroarty (25) are both ranked in the bottom 3rd of the draft. Just depends which ranking you think is the right one. I assume Teemu is supposed to be Geekie here?
Yes teemu was supposed to be Geekie. I was typing that while walking up the stairs, post leg day.

The majority have him in the 10-17 range and that’s where I think he goes. But if he is available at 18 or 19 I would have no problem trading up.
A candidate for someone who could drop would be Lambert or Mateychuk. Lamberts poor season and potential lack of compete level, along with mateychuks lack of size, have caused them to drop out of favour from some scouts
