The least attentive I’ve been to a draft in a long time. I can not distinguish any of the guys we might pick except this Quinn guy you all are talking about because apparently he’s a goal scorer.

I voted for Seth Jarvis because its the coolest name

Asinine & immoral
Imagine next years draft if the prospects barely play this season.

And all draft discussion to this point was “way to early”

Hopefully Holtz falls because other teams in front took defenders.
Askarov, Holtz, Mercer would be my preference.

How old are nhl. com rankings for european players? I'm fairly surprised by those rankings, mainly Raymond being only 4th behind Lundell

I believe April or May 2020 is when they came out.

I think we get Jarvis or Quinn since I don't actually expect Askarov to be there at 13.
Askarov > Jarvis > Quinn > Lundell = Amirov > Borque = Lapierre
Would be my preference. Outside chance that Rossi or Perfetti falls IMO.
I wonder if we see more trades throughout the day rather than on the virtual Draft floor. Both because of the lack of facetime and also because Bettman won't want to save trades for the Draft as things are hairier in the Zoom setting.
I guessed Seider would go to Detroit or Buffalo last year and this year I'm guessing Yzerman picks Askarov at #4.

I'll let myself be disappointed when Askarov is picked in the top 10. I will be frustrated if they pass on Askarov at 13, though.
Hoping one of Askarov, Jarvis, or Quinn drops. Don't hold out much hope for Lundell falling.
I would like to see Bean or Fleury dealt for #20 or another other mid/late 1st. Similar to the Gauthier deal - kick the can down the expansion draft road. Would be nice to have another crack at a Holloway, Khusnutdinov, Amirov, or Wallinder in that range.

Lapierre is crawling back up mocks because of his strong QMJHL start. If he is truly a top 5 talent, I would take him.

Even though I don't know anything about the prospects, this draft to me is one of the more interesting under this new regime. Their first draft, Svech was an obvious choice. Last year, expectations were low with the 28th pick so I didn't expect any sort of impact player there, even though it can happen.
This year is one where we have a chance to get more of an impact player as it's a deep draft with the 13th pick. Yeah, it's still a bit of a crap shoot, but there's more intrigue with this pick, if they don't trade it.

Lapierre is a huge risk. Top-10 talent as a natural center. But do you want to be the team who takes Nolan Patrick and have him sidelined while Heiskanen, Makar, and Pettersson are key contributors? Feels like one big hit could take Lapierre out for another year.
I'd be nervously excited if the Canes made that gamble. I'd be happier if a Florida or Minnesota made it before the Canes picked.

I'm thinking it'll be Jarvis or Amirov based on what might be available. I'd be fine with most of the other high rated guys should they slip. Not a huge fan of Holloway (at this pick at least) or Lapierre (not sure he's so far ahead that I'd risk the injuries).

Valid point. 2 more years in the Q and he'll probably be fine.
If his injury truly was one big hit that was exacerbated by a misdiagnosis then Im confident in the team making the pick. We cant predict the one big hit that alters a player's career (Skinner) or if a guy is going to have a migraine disorder (Patrick).

It won't let me vote in the poll (too new?), but I'll go with Askarov. And if he's not there, Amirov. Get another Russian to join Svech and to hopefully not become the subject of some more ridiculous takes from Tripp....
