Low Effort GDT Draft day - 7:00 SN

Raymond as our #1 RW with Batherson as the #2 RW would be amazing depth...

I'd love to see an RW selected at 5. Batherson as a #1 RW is a little unsettling, but he fits great at #2.

For those who don't know where to watch the draft: It will be played on Sportsnet. You can get a weekly subscription for $9.99 and just cancel once the draft is done. Doesn't look like TSN is playing it.

And so would the HF Board of any team that would do this if they were in the same position as the Sens.

100%

My thoughts exactly, I think Batherson would be able to feast on 2nd pairings and not being the main target of checking lines.

 

[Matsens15]

Those are the players they can afford in a long run. That's it. I believe they have a projected salary chart, what player will worth after ELC until free agency. Askarov will get 4-5 a year, the same for Quinn. Money talks.
Stutzle and Raymond could explode to Matthew $11.634 million number. Not good for their thrifty books. Why would you draft such players? So, do not be surprise with Melnyk. ((( I am ready for this. Are you all?

i am still not ready for this.. if they draft Quinn and Askarov, I am done. Lol!!! I don’t mind Askarov at 5 because he will be a franchise goalie.. but Quinn maybe around 15-20 but not at 3 please!!!!!

With Tkachuk and Duclair on the left, pretty legit top 6 assuming our #3 and other C prospects work out.

Tkachuk - Stutzle/Byfield- Raymond
Duclair - Norris/Brown - Batherson
Formenton - Norris/Brown - White/C. Brown
Balcers/ Abramov - Chlapik/Paul - White/C. Brown

 

[SensFan1010]

Tkachuk - Stutzle/Byfield- Raymond
Duclair - Norris/Brown - Batherson
Formenton - Norris/Brown - White/C. Brown
Balcers/ Abramov - Chlapik/Paul - White/C. Brown

Flip Chuck and Duke make the lines more balanced + better chemistry. But regardless those lines are scary good

Has Perfetti’s name been linked to the Sens at all? I haven’t noticed it

Not really at all honestly. I don't even think he's in the cards for us

 

[Taluss]

Not really at all honestly. I don't even think he's in the cards for us

Hm I wonder why, thought he was ranked high enough. Wonder what Dorion sees (or doesn't) in him to make that the case

 

[hockey20000]

one of byfield/stuzle with 3rd pick... and 5th pick Drysdale ... is my CLEAR CHOICE. would also accept raymond with 5th pick... rossi/perfetti I would be dissapointed if we took either of them 2.

 

[coladin]

Watch Dorion use the 28th pick to pick 4th , and Yzerman hoodwinks him into thinking he is drafting Ottawa's guy...

 

[Hale The Villain]

I think there's a better chance of that happening with the 2nd OVR.

 

[DueDiligence]

I think the Sens are going to go with either Byfield /Drysdale or Stuzle/Rossi depending on who gets taken at 2OA.

 

[Matsens15]

Lol

 

[Philadelphia Collins]

Have a lot of trust in the Sens scouting, but anyone else feeling weirdly nervous about pick 5? After the 4 extra months of reading draft takes I’m really hoping they take a high ceiling forward like Raymond/Rossi/Perfetti

That said, even if they take a guy like Sanderson, I will trust their judgement and hope that he develops into a Hesikanen. Would only really be upset if they grabbed Askarov, I am dead against taking a goalie that early

 

[Flamingo]

Lol

Eugene must have made some Russian friends.

 

[The Lewler]

Eugene must have made some Russian friends.

Oh he must be that kind of Ukrainian

 

[Beville]

I’m reckoning Byfield and Stuetzle

 

[BatherSeason]

I think I need to ready myself for Sanderson at 5, everything to me seems to be pointing in that direction, plenty of subtle hints from a lot of different people, (other than Simmer's crap...lol) JR with the latest. I know that he will be a fantastic player, I just let myself get hyped up for 2 dynamic forwards that we can watch play together with BT for years. Would be a missed opportunity for the Sens IMO.

My perfect draft scenario would be either Byfield/Stutzle at #3, then one of Raymond/Rossi/Drysdale/Holtz/Perfetti at 5 or I even would prefer Askarov or Quinn over Sanderson

Can anyone help change my mind? No need for videos or anything, just opinions. I know that this has already played out in various draft threads, but figured it could avoid a search and create some new dialogue.

Please convince me that Sanderson is the right player at 5.

Hm I wonder why, thought he was ranked high enough. Wonder what Dorion sees (or doesn't) in him to make that the case

could also be some gamesmanship from the scouting department not letting interviews with the kid get out there.

 

[foggyvisor]

It's Askarov.

Melnyk probably wants a cheap, competitive team. Blueprint is goalie + tight checking.
