2022 Draft Part II

[HoweFan]

My argument for not taking Kasper at 8/9 would be I think there are going to be fairly comparable centers in quality there at our next pick in round 2.

You may be correct but I’m all for taking centres with our first two picks, like Kasper and Lorenz. Then with the third pick take Lamoureux, or if according to Button and Bischel is available take him

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

If Savoie is there at 8 I really have a hard time not picking him. Maybe he becomes a Brayden Point as a center. If he only becomes a winger then you’re looking at maybe Steve Sullivan. Does anyone else remember that pesky f***er?

Buffalo or NJ.

Yup - NJ again drops to 2nd overall…May they rot!

Kasper piqued my interest when earlier today I had learned he’s an Austrian playing in the SHL.

 

[Bench]

Don't sleep on Tyler Brennan, guys.

Considering Cossa didn't get his 3rd shutout in a row in the WHL playoffs, I'm totally comfortable if Yzerman uses #8 on this kid.

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

Savoie would be a huge win at #8. Detroit will have enough size to ride shotgun with him. He can bounce pucks in off Soderblom and Rasmussen.

 

[FMichael]

Marco Kasper just screams as a Yzerman pick.

German speaking dude honing his skills in Sweden…Yup!

If the Button's list goes that way for the first 39 picks, Detroit should run to select Gaucher at 40--and I really like Bystedt and Hamara. Gaucher is a big, high-energy center.
I can also see a case for Bischel, but not if Gaucher is on the board in the second.

 

[Baaaaaaaaaaaaah]

Savoie is going to drop. Stevie is going to have a tough decision to make.

 

[lhsgolf19]

Cosentino has us taking Kemell (I personally don’t think he’s gonna be there)

 

[r0bert8841]

I am glad we didn't drop. Savoie seems like a real possibility. At the same time, we have put together a pretty great development team over in Sweden I would prefer our top pick play under their supervision.

That’s another big consideration if picking Kasper. Rogle is going to be huge for him.

 

[wingerdinger]

one of Savoie, Lekkermaki or Kasper and It'd be a good draft for me.

yuck.

 

[r0bert8841]

Yzerman seems to be emphasizing that our picks are in good developmental situations. 2 Frolunda kids and Seider where he was instantly eligible to be moved to GR. On the other hand its not clear on what he considers a good or bad development situation.

 

[jfrank21]

Yeah, I dont know...I'm more annoyed with the fact that Montreal gets their reward for tanking and that NJ gets to jump up AGAIN than I am with the fact that Detroit didnt win. Nobody in this draft has me upset that he wont be there when the Wings pick. They should get someone pretty good, but not franchise defining.

I would be good with any of Kasper, Savoie, Lekkerimaki, Nazar, Yurov or even Lambert if our scouting team believes in him. Dont really care about any of the D outside of Nemec and Jiricek and I think they will be gone by 8. I would be just as happy grabbing someone like Ryan Chesley at 40 or 53 than I would those other names floating around as first round D. I liked his game a lot at the U18s. I still would like to see them find a way to draft Julian Lutz as well, he impressed me as well.

Considering Draper’s kid is going to Michigan next year, I would imagine Yzerman and Draper would not be adverse to Nazar playing there for the next year or two.

I think Kasper ends up as the guy at 8 though. We have been watching him all season and he just feels like a Wings pick under this regime.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Cosentino has us taking Kemell (I personally don’t think he’s gonna be there)

No Nazar stuns me on this list. I honestly would not have an issue taking him with the #8. I think he does become a crazy fast #2 center.

Also I think the Devils take Slafkovsky. Him and Jack Hughes should be a lot of fun together.
