Iginla was good…but at 2nd overall?

He’s gonna go 5-7

I think that’s possible, I suppose…but would still be a surprise. A week or so ago, I probably had Greentree and Iginla in same bucket…but have latter higher now.

Celebrini

Demidov
Levshunov
Dickinson
Buium
Catton
Eiserman

Then tier that includes Iginla, Connelly, Parekh, MBN, Boisvert…so 8-12 range maybe

Iginla and Parekh are my 2 fav prospects. I’d take either over a LD any day as much as I like Dickinson

I guess it all depends on team. For teams building possession game, Buium would be higher than Dickinson, maybe Helenius or Stiga over Iginla or Eiserman. Vice versa if seeking shot volume. Value size, Lindstrom over Catton…size-agnostic, Catton over Lindstrom.

For Devils, we need defensive, puck-protecting dman (Dickinson, Jiricek)…heavier winger (Lindstrom, MBN) or two-way 3C (??). Not convinced we stay at #10 though.

Yeah. For Sens , I want the highest skilled winger or the highest potential RD with the chance of being top line RD or top pair winger

Would you take Eiserman over Iginla?

No. I like the way Iginla wins board battles and plays big and he also has more size and he’s very competitive

I've got basically three top tiers I think:
Tier 1: Celebrini
Tier 2: Iginla, Eiserman, Demidov, Levshunov, Lindstrom
Tier 3: Buium, Dickinson, Parekh, Helenius, Silayev, Yakemchuk

I think Iginla was the most consistently tenacious player on the ice. I really liked that. Puck retrievals and board play were excellent, not to mention the offensive talent which is lights out. Good awareness in his own end as well. He frequently QB'd the coverage and release designs on dzone draws. I think he's a much smarter player than he's been given credit for. I'm thinking he'll be a more offensively gifted Adrian Kempe.

I like Dickinson and Parekh in tier 2.

I’d have demidov in tier 1.5

I’m not as high on Eiserman

I think Demidov is special I just haven't seen enough of him. And there's always the "when will they actually come over" issue with Russians.

Los Angeles would consider that if the pick were this June's.

Picks 2 through about 15 could go a lot of ways. It will be interesting.
