Ideal draft for MTL

I think youre too high on Beckett Sennecke.

Could without a doubt get him in the 12-18 range, just trade up with other picks atp

Tbh I’m starting to think that Sennecke should go between the 8-12range, although he has a really high ceiling it’s hard to pass up on Catton or Parekh. I do think if Montreal stays at 5 they could still get either Demidov or Lindstrom tho

Seems like there was a bug in the lottery function for this draft. If a team below 11th wins the first lottery the Sharks don't make sense to be in the 2nd lottery. In this case you'd have teams 2-13 minus Philly figuring out if they're picking 3rd, Pittsburgh figuring out if they're picking 4th and deferring the traded pick to 2025, Detroit hoping to pick 5th, and St Louis hoping to pick 6th.

Idk, Sennecke has some of the best tools in the entire draft. Insane hands, very good IQ, and great skating. Once he grows into his body, he should be even better.

I am high on him, but at this point, there is no way he falls out of the top 10, so might as well take him. Let’s be real here, if he had even just 80 pts this year, he’d be a consistent top 5 pick. We can’t forget that he grew 4-5 inches in a ridiculously short amount of time, and that 100% affects players. Sennecke’s 2nd half of the season is very solid, and probably has the best playoff race amongst the entire draft class.

Parekh has massive defensive flaws, so he’s definitely not a must draft guy, especially in MTL’s case, where they have a bunch of defenders

As for Catton, you’re getting a point generator, but maybe not very impactful for the amount of points he gets. I’m severely seeing him a bit like Marner, where the regular season points will be great, but he will be a very bad playoff guy.
Sennecke might get a couple less points (maybe in the 80 pt range instead of the 90), but this guy will take your team to a cup.

I hear that if Montreal really wants Sennecke, they will likely gonna make a trade with the Jets pick to go in the 12-18th overall range instead of drafting him in the top 8.

That's great and all, but it's hard to trade up at 12th OA for a guy who isn't on the board. I don't really see a way Sennecke doesn't go top 10

Can we stop wanting Devils to draft dman plz. Nemec,Luke,Casey,Hatakka,Vilen theres a log jam at d. Unless they gonna move casey for old man Marky or Ullmark which is not worth it not even Saros is worth the overpay.

Yeah fair, this draft is such a weird one cause from like 2-15 any of those players can go anywhere, one of the more interesting drafts, lots of potential for star talent, also lots of question marks

Definitely the most boom-or-bust draft in a while. If most of the guys pan out, it's gonna be seen as an elite draft, but they also might not, and then it may be seen as a mid or even bad draft. But in terms of prospects, its one of the deepest we've seen, arguably more than last years...

Im pretty giddy if Sennecke goes top 10 if Im the Flyers.

Overall, I usually have them get MBN or even Eiserman, but imo, NJ should definitely take a LD if one of the elite ones fall (Dickinson, Silayev, Buium)

What is a solid player comp for Sennecke?

Also another guy that is not getting enough attention is Teddy Stiga. 11th on my board, could jump to top 10 after the u18s. He has all the necessary tools, best defensive forward in the draft and second best skater in the draft. The best skater in the draft is Connelly.

Ideal targets for the Devils:

MBN
Eiserman
Connelly
Chernyshov
Greentree
Sennecke

I get the logjam, but what if Dickinson or Silayev were available?

I agree with Stiga, he's very good. I personally have him 16, but if he goes higher it's deserved.

As for a comp for Sennecke, I've seen Boldy, which I would agree with. IMO, Boldy is the 2nd best player from the 2019 draft, so definitely a solid comp

if sennecke was just an inch less i bet no one would talk about him at # 5. but thats just my opinion.

I definitely don't think so. It's a nice bonus to be 6"3, but when you have the tool-set Sennecke has, it's an obvious reason why he should be going crazy high

I'm glad you aren't the GM
