Speculation: Who Should Detroit Pick at 4th? (poll closes 9/30)

[Winger98]

Alright, the old thread is filling up and we're a week or so out from the draft, so I figure it's time to do our final bit of polling on this. I'm setting this to close in two days, so come in and vote, discuss, and be proven horribly wrong by whoever the Wings actually select.

I want either one of Perfetti or Raymond, though I know whoever we pick my mind is going to play the "what if" game with the other prospect we didn't pick. I honestly don't think we can go wrong in this position. Whoever we pick will probably not make an impact in the league until the 22-23 season (mainly because of covid), so I rest easy knowing we aren't going to rush whoever onto the ice and give them undeserving hype to live up to.

Ive settled on Raymond today. I think he makes rass a second line center and makes zadina more dangerous.

we’ll see how I feel tomorrow.

Perfetti or Raymond are my ideal. Not going to be shocked when the 2/3 games Raymond gets in shifts this last poll. I'll still stand by that he hasn't done anything yet to move the needle for me personally, and there was likely no way he could have with such as small sample size.

 

[Killerjas]

Raymond or Perfetti

 

[FabricDetails]

Official vote goes to Perfetti but dammit... Raymond and Drysdale are right there. I'm thinking (within myself) 30% Perfetti, 28% Raymond, 25% Drysdale and 17% Others. Man I really need Byfield to drop.

 

[Hen Kolland]

I see the Rossi support group hasn't woken up yet...says a lot about his character that his supporters would sleep in...

In all seriousness, I could flip a coin between Perfetti and Raymond right now. I lean Perfetti in this vote just because I think he's the smartest player in the draft, and I feel that his ability to control the game is something we could really benefit a great deal from.

nothings clear cut , theres issues with every pick . the interupted season didnt help much either . red wings brass hasnt slept a wink since count bettmans ridiculous lottery farce

 

[raymond23]

I’ve switched from Perfetti to Raymond recently. Will still be very hyped if we pick Perfetti.

 

[ricky0034]

hasn't really changed for me in a while

still Perfetti with Raymond close behind

i'd be fine with Drysdale too if that was what ended up happening but wouldn't go there over those other two at this point personally

Haha that is funny, I did the opposite, leaning now more towards Raymond because his start of the season has been really good.

Lucas Raymond. With this bullshit lottery, you have to swing for the fences with your #4 pick. He has the most upside in my eyes. Very talented but also still very raw. Crazy to think of what he could look like with another 15-20 lbs on him.

 

[Ed Ned and Leddy]

*fingers crossed* "not Darko... not Darko"

 

[Ulysses31]

Voted Rossi. Raymond would br 2nd choice.

 

[Henkka]

Voted Perfetti.

Fine with Lundell too.

Krug will be our "drysdale".

 

[Ricelund]

I feel like it's going to be Perfetti.

I'm on the Askarov train...

I actually meant to say I switched from Perfetti to Raymond. So we’re on the same boat

I find it hard to settle on who has a higher upside in my eyes between Raymond and Perfetti. Both have the multi-faceted offensive skillset. Both at their very best will drive offense, in slightly different fashions. I don't feel comfortable in saying one is clearly higher than the other.

Skating makes difference

 

[lilidk]

It's Raymond, not far from him Rossi and Drysdale

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Voted Rossi with Raymond clear 2nd.

 

[Christien]

The skating, defensive play, and right-hand shot is what separates Raymond from Perfetti in my opinion, so I’m going Raymond. Perfetti is my second choice.

 

[SirloinUB]

Looks like Raymond is the Flavour of the week

 

[Kronwalled55]

Drysdale or Raymond please.

We really need a reliable star forward, but damn it would be great to have Seider AND Drysdale for years to come... I'm completely torn. But honestly, I think Yzerman will pick Perfetti anyways so likely a moot point
