And we still haven't sold at the TDL. Kenny doesn't give me much to complain about anymore.

 

[Marky9er]

I'm looking a little further down the list for potential 2nd round picks, or late 1sts if we pick any up.

Anybody seen Alexey Alexeyev? 6'3" D in Red Deer. Right shot 4 assists in 3 games.

 

[Frk It]

I'm looking a little further down the list for potential 2nd round picks, or late 1sts if we pick any up.

K’Andre Miller, Calen Addison, Milos Roman, Pavel Gogolev, Evan Bouchard, Noah Dobson, Serron Noel

I think Jared McIsaac is going to be a faller. Could be another option.

 

[TheMule93]

Dellandrea, Kupari, McBain, Olofsson, Tychonick, Diamini, Demin, Fortier, Zavgorodny.

Just to add.

 

[Oddbob]

Yeah, if the likely happens that we don't get Dahlin, (being pessimistic about our chances) Adam Boqvist sounds like he is going to be a really good one as well.

 

[Frk It]

2018 - Quinn Hughes
2019 - Jack Hughes

I'd have Wilde in that 2nd tier. McIsaac really deserves to drop, IMO. I know stats aren't everything, but the guy has just really never put up pts... and that's a red flag for defenseman at the CHL level.

 

[Ezekial]

2018 - Quinn Hughes
2019 - Jack Hughes

As long as we get a set a brothers I'll be good.

Seriously though we'd be getting two really good hockey players and I'd be over the moon.

Pretty good listen:

I listened.

What do you take out of the episode?

Seems like a pretty good batch of kids in the USDP... and that I want Oliver Wahlstrom.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

#1 Rasmus Dahlin #2 Andrei Svechnikov #3 Brady Tkachuk We're gunning for one of you.

 

[Martinez]

Still in my top 10

 

[lilidk]

2019 we will have Tag Bertuzzi

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

He is a good option. If the Wings end up picking around where they picked last year, I'd be happy with the pick.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Any body drafting in the top 10 in next years draft, Is going to get a very good player.

 

[Dotter]

#1 Rasmus Dahlin #2 Andrei Svechnikov #3 Brady Tkachuk We're gunning for one of you.

Lol, Wings can finish last and still draft 10th. Since the lottery was implemented, has anyone who finished lowest drafted 1st overall?

 

[HisNoodliness]

That's just wrong. If you finish last you're guaranteed a top 4 pick. And you have to go way back to find a last place winner... 1 whole year to Toronto in 2016.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Lol, Wings can finish last and still draft 10th. Since the lottery was implemented, has anyone who finished lowest drafted 1st overall?

Not true if we finish #31 overall or dead last the very worst we can get is the #4 pick like Colorado last year. And even a #4 overall pick in the 2018 draft is going to net us a very good young prospect.

 

[Dotter]

Whelp, I'm sure many here will be happy. But finishing #31 isn't going to be as easy as some think. Lots of bad teams in the NHL.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Well yeah none of us think that we will finish dead last, But we should still finish in the bottom 5 and that's fine.

 

[HisNoodliness]

Well yeah none of us think that we will finish dead last, But we should still finish in the bottom 5 and that's fine.

Exactly. Finishing last gets you the best odds at a top 3 pick and at worst 4th which is great but honestly just finishing bottom 5ish is pretty good most of the time. If we end up at ~26 then we're looking at ~6th overall. While a top 2 pick would be incredible, in this draft a top 10 pick is probably still going to be a really good player, and possibly an elite piece for us. And there's always the lottery. If you consistently rank bottom 10, you'll win it eventually.
