Right now, I think I'd lean Colin White. Then hope for Chlapik, Eriksson Ek or Kylington at 25.

I have a feeling Colin White could be a tremendous steal and I would have a hard time passing on him at 17.
I also really like Anthony Beauvillier, Daniel Sprong, Yevgeni Svechnikov, Jansen Harkins, and Oliver Kylington at our first pick. Although I could see one or more of them lasting until our second pick.
If we could pick up two of those guys plus one of these defenseman in the second round, I'd be pretty happy with our first three picks:
Vande Sompel
Anderson
Pilon
Larsson
Brisebois
Meloche
Carlsson
Juulsen

I like the way you think 60MM, although I more think of Vande Sompel as a future forward.
He already plays forward on their PK and was their 1C when the team had injury issues.

Thanks Garret.
I knew Vande Sompel had played some forward on the PK, but not 1C when they had injuries. I guess that explains his point totals for the season. Seems like he has an all round well developed game.

Running statistical comparisons on most of those predicted in the first 3 rounds.
Closest statistical cohort to age, scoring, league, height for Ek E.:
CARL KLINGBERG
That said, 23% of the 39 guys to fit similarly made the NHL for at least 200 games. Just though funny the closest person was Klingberg.

Svechnikov, 110%.
The kid has a lot more skill and potential than he gets credit for. He even has good center capabilities that could be explored. If not he ends up being a big scoring winger, which is an asset that is very hard to aquire. His defensive game needs work, which the Jets can teach. Certain things like size and natural skill can't be taught. Pro level systems can. I feel there is no Russian Factor with him at all, given his numerous interviews on his determination to play in the NHL. He's committed to making it at this level.

I'm going to share a secret. Some cohort probability and cohort NHL pts/GP of some of the top D (ignoring the obvious trio of Hanafin, Werenski, and Provorov).
You can sorta, but not quite, think of left as in safety and the right side as upside.

Would Vande Sompels stats be skewed because of his forward play?

in other words:
- Meloche ist the safest overall pick around
- Roy has the highest ceiling but still is a rather safe pick
- Carlo has a big WARNING-sign on him
- Kylington and Larsson could be great picks in the bottom half of the first round
am I right?

probably but not certainly
I'd agree
J Roy's d-1 numbers are similar too.

Keep in mind we all know what one season can have happen to someones scoring with a bit of sh% fluctuation.... so the above isn't written in stone but a general guideline.

I'd jump at Meier if he fell to us but he is one player I would not trade up for. More likely to be overrated than underrated. Ehlers pulled him up a bit I think.

I'm with you. Meier may be a very legit 1st round pick but I would not trade up to reach for him. I fail to see why Meier over Sveshnikov (for example) would be a huge gain.

Exactly!
If it is a bad idea to draft for position it has to be much worse to draft for chemistry between 2 players.

Don't trust what is going on in Russia period. You heard Federov proposing that no Russian prospects be allowed to play in the NHL before they were 28.
Just a proposal/suggestion, but a player has got to be a whole lot better than their non-Russian counterparts before I'd want to start messing with all that -- especially for a 1st or 2nd rounder.

Interesting. Despite that I see Meloche ranked way down on all scouting lists so suspect he's available with our second for sure.
Zboril on the other hand is rated anywhere from 16-22 & to me seems to be the best defensemen available at #17 -- although I'm sure I'll change my mind a few times yet before the draft

I guess I misread your table Garret. Yep wouldn't be too sorry to see us pick up J.Roy with our first pick either.

R Anderson is looking pretty good. He's a Barrie colt right? Pretty much the jets Ohl farm team. Sounds like a Chevy pick for sure.

I'm not even sure if we have a 3rd rounder this year or if we gave that up, but can't see us picking Rasmus any higher than that unless he has hidden potential that only Dale can spot
