Yes. Even if they miss the playoffs they should still push themselves up the standings. It's hard to imagine them finishing bottom 5 by years end.Is it still too early to get excited about San Jose's pick?

I wouldnt go that far. Even though its a great draft there are still going to be players in the 10-15 range that dont pan out.If the Sharks miss the playoffs, we have every right to get excited.
Not only is it another lottery pick, and we have seen teams win from everywhere in the standings, but the top 15 is riddled with awesome prospects either way.
Were getting a great player with that pick if they miss the playoffs.
Not at all. They are old and not very deep. Vlasic, Dillon and EK are disasters in their own end, they have 5 good forwards but the best might be 30 year old Logan Couture who is still a top 15-20 centre. Overall they will be hard pressed to finish higher than 6th in their division and 10th in the conference.Is it still too early to get excited about San Jose's pick?
LBIGoing to the Canada vs Russia game tomorrow night and get the chance to see AL play. Hopefully our #1 pick this draft!!

Is Lucas Raymond the real deal? Scouting report?
Damn. I cannot get a read on Marco Rossi. The skills, hockey sense and compete level are all very high BUT he is so small.
What do others think ?

How's his skating? It's pretty rare for players that small to continue playing centre in the pros if they aren't elite skaters.Damn. I cannot get a read on Marco Rossi. The skills, hockey sense and compete level are all very high BUT he is so small.

SO if things were to end the way they are today we'd likely have 2 top 5 picks.
Would people here rather have:
A) Lafreniere and Perfetti
or
B)Byfield and Holtz ?
I'd go (A) with Lafreniere and Perfetti. Although would not be upset with Byfield and Holtz.
IMO Lafreniere is the BPA of the 4 players involved and Holtz doesn't move the needle for me enough over Perfetti.I think I'd go with option B personally. If we happen to luck into either package I'd be thrilled though of course.
The chance to get two game-breaking forwards in this draft could be franchise altering.
