Question :
Who looks more like Nick Suzuki? Perfetti or Rossi?
Perfetti plays a quite similar game to Suzuki, but is better at most things.
Definitely more like Suzuki than Rossi IMO.

Perfetti is a much better prospect than Suzuki at this point.
I am talking about both Suzuki's at the time of the draft arent as highly touted or have accomplished as much as Perfetti had at this point. Nick Suzuki had a great year, was really fading recently though.The question was about Nick Suzuki, not Ryan. Nick Suzuki was a 41 point NHL player this year.

It hurts me that you needed to clarify your point....
If the Sens walk away on draft day with a Suzuki level prospect (ie their caliber as of draft day) with either of those picks, Im going to hit something.
I think both Suzukis will be good players, but thats an insult to the 1st round of this draft imo.

Suzuki had all but stopped scoring once other teams started focusing on him and had video this year and frankly was playing with much better players than anyone on the sens were. He is a good player dont get me wrong but dont compare him to Tkachuk this year who is the main focal point of the sens forwards taking all the hardest matchups and was coming on at the end while Suzuki was fading. He also brings so much more to the table. Batherson likely produces very similarly to Suzuki in the same position.If Rossi or Perfetti get 40-45 points as a 20 year old in the NHL, I'm totally fine with that. So should you be. Nick Suzuki was basically a full year younger than Rossi in his draft year (Aug v Sept), so I'm not sure he is the example you want to make here. He's an excellent young NHLer who has already established himself in the league with scoring line credibility and he is 20 years old. This after skipping over the AHL completely, so even more impressive to produce at that level with no pro experience to help transition. Perhaps your comment is more about upside, but I'm not sure Suzuki has shown anything to indicate his ceiling is that low.
Put another way, Suzuki had similar points to Tkachuk this year and would have been one of the Sens leading scorers with that production, but he's a year younger than Batherson. Are we ready to throw in the towel on The Drake because he can't crack the lineup of one of the lowest scoring teams in the NHL? I'm certainly not.

OK.How would you guys feel if we got say Rossi and drysdale?
Stutzle and Raymond would be the second best scenario after Lafrenière and StutzleOK.
If we are out of the top 2 with both picks. I would be ok with
Stutzle and Drysdale
Raymond and Drysdale
Rossi and Drysdale
Perfetti and Drysdale
Stutzle and Raymond
Stutzle and Rossi
Stutzle and Perfetti
Raymond and Rossi
Raymond and Perfetti
Rossi and Perfetti

Yeah I would like Lafrenière because he his a complete player and for the economy aspect, but Stutzle he his so fun to watch.Orgasmic. I've been watching more and more of Stutzle, he's the real deal. I have him 2nd myself now.
Just wondering. IF things work out and we get say 2 and 4/5. Would you trade that 2 down to NJD for 6 and 10 giving 4/5, 6, 10 plus NYI 1st at 20ish. If they'd really want Byfield or top choice after Lafreniere. It means that 3 of Raymond, Drysdale, Rossi, Stutzle, Perfetti, Lunden, Holtz, Sanderson are all in play plus the NYI. I'd think pretty hard on that this year.I think with Ottawa having the ability to scout Rossi more than anyone else, they will have very little issue drafting him as high as 4 if necessary.
They passed on Konecny (along with other teams) due to his size and concerns about how durable he could be, where as Rossi is built like a bulldog. In his first in the O, he put up better numbers than Konecny did in his draft year, so if you are looking at potential output, you have to think he could be a PPG+ player.
I think my preference would be Drysdale + Rossi, but I could see Ottawa packaging the NYI pick + some 2nds to take Sanderson. (LHD, American, committed to ND)
Either way, something like:
Rossi, Drysdale, Quinn
Or
Rossi, Holtz, Sanderson
Would be incredible.

I often hear we have 9 picks in top three rounds - actually we have 10 in top 100 picks - and that's pretty interesting.
I'd probably do it. Statistically I feel like it's just a better idea to get two players that high. Push for strength all through the roster, all under entry level at the same time.Just wondering.

No... At two I secure Byfield or Stutzle.... I’m softening a bit on Byfield at 2. In some ways I hope that choice is taking from us. Like we get a 1 and 3-6 and end up with Laf and Stutz or whoever without having to debate drafting Byfield at 2.
Or we get him at 4-5 and have an easier path to develop him in the junior/minors with less expectations.
