This draft could be super surprising

If St. Louis could grab Yakemchuk at 16 I would be over the moon.

Sennecke at 7 is such a bad pick, earliest he should go is like 15

I'd love Catton, so no complaints here.

I think Montreal reaches regardless if they pick 5, 6 or 7. Montreal has enough prospects/draft capital to make a risky pick this year. I really think if Demidov is gone, Eiserman, Iginla, Greentree or Sennecke is 100% the pick. I like Sennecke too, He's big, silky hands and a goal scorer. Can't see MTL wouldn't want that

So I’d assume you haven’t scouted Sennecke much

No, actually I've watched him a lot, especially his playoffs vs Ottawa since I'm a 67's fan, he's good, but not top 10 good

Think tools: Great skater, amazing hands, and solid IQ. I mean, that is exactly the tools that can make a top line guy. Plus his size is a nice bonus. He had a Tage Thompson level growth spurt, where his play should be very dis balanced because of such steep growth, but, he has looked very good non the less.
I won’t lie, I just discovered him yesterday , so I do have more work on him, but I do see validity in drafting him in MTLs view

Except for the 15 LHD prospects the Sharks already have. Literally the last thing they need

With all due respect, there isn't anyone who has top-pair potential, and probably only Shakir and Ferraro who could be decent 2nd pair. There is no one on that left side that can carry that SJ Defense, so that's why I think SJ should just take the best D available, who imo, is Dickinson. I completely understand Lev being the pick though

Quick heads up if a team at 11 or above wins the lotto first then SJ wins the 1st OA.
So San Jose would be drafting Celebrini.
Capfriendly needs to fix this error with their lotto setup

They do need to fix this. In the sim though, I don’t remember 100%, but I do think BUF ended up winning the lottery 1st, so it would still be the correct order here, but they need to change the way it’s written

Shakir absolutely does have top pairing potential, Cagnoni also does. Then there's Thrun, and Furlong who are very solid middle pairing projected players (Thrun is already shown he has that capability).

Also i'd easily take Buium over him if they were forced to take a LHD.

Agree but as posted they were the 2nd lotto winner.

A stove top is 100% accurate sharks don’t have a bonafide #1 LD, maybe Mukhamadulin, but I agree he is more a 2nd pair and PP guy.

My issue with Dickenson is he isn’t a top pair guy either he’s a 2nd pair, D specialist with maybe a 30-35 point ceiling. And sharks really badly need a top pair 40+ point two way D if they don’t get Celebrini.
And Cagnioni has shown potential that teams missed poorly on him, but he’s a LONG way from declaring him to have top pair potential.

Eisermen is a great fit why are you reaching on a overhyped prospect in that Norwegian dude. i Take sacha and Greentree over him as well, Devils need size and physicality but that norway man doesnt give me
that.
