was thinking about this today - we got boxed out pretty badly this series and Nylander in particular had a tough time playing inside the box. I've heard a lot of Nylander comps for Denisenko, if it comes to picking between two similarly ranked guys like Denisenko and Serron Noel, are we wise to try to add some of that inside the box element?
Draft the most talented played. If he turns out as Nylander he had way more talent than a pick in the 20s, or we have a cheap relacemebnt.
would think that Noel & Denisenko would be considered similarly talented, like choosing between winger version of Nylander and Blake Wheeler in the best case scenarios, if they tiered together in our draft board I don't know which way I'd go. Denisenko seems like the sexy pick, but we shouldn't need much help getting to the playoffs from here on in so I might be tempted to go for the guy who could help more in the playoffs
All the teams (8) that made the 2nd round draft after us, so pretty sure we’re drafting 23rd
thats good news, those couple of spots seem important, looks like there's a pretty good chance of Denisenko/Noel/Kupari/Kravtsov fallers in the earlier 20's
agree on Wilde, and on Kravtsov being at the top of the heap. I'm not big on McIsaac
it's only a shame that we didn't move JVR/Bozak/Komarov to load up a bit more
agreed, and now we've suffered the same fate that everyone was worried that we would without them but don't have the extra assets. it's a small hang up but another 3-5 picks in the first 2 rounds would have been good
