Yes bloodlines. I forgot about that.Quinn is missing the bloodlines so idk... Sanderson fits all that too aside from local and adds nhl bloodlines

I’d be fine with Quinn or Sanderson. I like those picks.I've said previously that I suspect they'll take either Quinn or Sanderson at 5. But if they don't, I'd be pretty excited about the player they pick because it means they feel he has so much talent that it outweighs any size/speed concerns they could have.
Awesome. My picks get selected. I like cosentino and I like that mock.This is what Consentino predicts will happen:
Lafreniere - Rangers
Stutzle - LA
Byfield - Sens
Perfetti - Wings
Sanderson - Sens
Drysdale - Ducks
Rossi - Devils
Holtz - Sabres
Raymond - Wild
Quinn - Jets
Good post but Josh Norris is a Centre. He understands and can execute the defensive assignments at a high level. I see him centering a line with Batherson and Tkachuk this season with a little Colin White on the right side when Smith shakes things up.
Rossi is a lot like Norris in that he has advanced defensive awareness, he is not a winger.To be clear I would only want that to happen in a world where Brown, Byfield and Rossi are all solid centres. That said Rossi could also be the one moved to wing or any of the four could be traded to upgrade the wing or D.
Rossi has an outstanding motor and two way game. I think he belongs in the running for a F at 5 along with Raymond and Perfetti. Raymond is a good player but he is being overrated in this poll. Went thru all this in 2018 with Zadina, Zadina , Zadina as well.
Its Drysdale or Raymond for me at 5 so I'm good with the vote
just the fan level of support.. not comparing anything about the playersNot sure how this is in anyway comparable. Zadina was skilled good sniper who played a sound game. Raymond is a 2 way motor hound with skill and carries the play himself.
IMO, I see Raymond conservatively as Elias Lindholm, ceiling as Alfredsson. I think Raymond's high floor is why we will see him selected. He just plays the right way and fundamentally amazing. But I have gut feeling Detroit takes him at 4 and we select Sanderson at 5.
Same, but I feel Sens rate Sanderson higher, tbh.
Missing out on someone like Raymond/Perfetti would ******ing sting hard but having potentially best d in the league could help against the powerhouses in the East. Especially if we trade up big time for Quinn or Mercer.

Id say most posters that are pushing Rossi didnt watch alot of 67 games as most of the same posters arent high on Quinn. The bullish Rossi supporters like to heavily lean on stats for the most part. So in short, no I do not think its because he plays for the 67's.For those all about Rossi, would you be as bullish about him if he didn't play for the 67s?
Every write up I see has this mentioned.
I don't debate that he's skilled, I just think a beefier Raymond would serve our team better. His speed, motor, and 2 way game is made for our high tempo club.
I personally also feel that Rossi will be a winger to be most effective.
Datsyuk was a physical freak, Rossi is tiny. He will never be close to the player Datsyuk was im sorry. He doesnt have as much skill or the power side of the game. If he was that good he would be going number 1. I really think alot of posters are massively over rating him.If we pass on Rossi, we may regret it. He made me a convert, supplanting Raymond who I also like. I like the 2-way centre with Alfie like dedication more. Just ask Andre Tourigny.
Tourigny: Marco Rossi had best season he's ever seen in an NHL draft eligible season
In my personal viewing experience, he reminds me of a bit like Datsyuk, perhaps less hands which are still great. He is very strong on his skates with his low centre of gravity and he is always working to get stronger and better.
That said, Raymond, Drysdale, or Perfetti aren't consolation prizes either. Rossi just solidifies the centre position for the franchise alongside Byfield/Stutzle, potentially allowing for two top-6 centres we haven't had forever.

In a Sportsnet Mock draft today, Sam Consentino predicts Ottawa taking Sanderson at 5. His reasoning is that after taking a forward at 3, (Byfield) we will be looking for some bite on the back end. Out of Drysdale and Sanderson, he argues Sanderson is a much better fit to play with Chabot.
Personally I still want two forwards at 3 and 5 but it looks like the Sanderson support is gaining momentum.
Sanderson isnt close to as good a prospect as Jones or Werenski were id temper your expectations.Seeing Jones's impact in CBJ games makes me value Sanderson a bit more. He doesn't handle the puck as well as I'd like, though. He's a left shot too, so he or Chabot would have to play their off side if they were the top pairing. I don't hope for Sanderson at 5, but I'm curious enough about his defensive skills, especially considering the offense-first teams we face in the East, as you said.

I do believe that there is a very low probability Rossi ends up an Ottawa Senator.
So why didn't Datsyuk go 1st (or even in the first round)?Datsyuk was a physical freak, Rossi is tiny. He will never be close to the player Datsyuk was im sorry. He doesnt have as much skill or the power side of the game. If he was that good he would be going number 1. I really think alot of posters are massively over rating him.

First and foremost, I'm aware of all the great traits that Sanderson possesses. He's got a great package of tools and any team would love him on their d-core.
That being said, my fear with Sanderson is that his rise up the mock drafts has come when absolutely no hockey has been played. It scares me. It's like the dialogue and the idea of what he can bring to a team is whats causing this rise more so than his actual on-ice abilities and what he's shown on the ice.
And now, with Seth Jones having a stellar playoffs, whom is often used as a comparable for Sanderson, more reasons beyond the things Sanderson has actually achieved on the ice is causing him to gain additional hype.
I'm well aware we're in a weird time and I want to say again that I actually love Sanderson's game, but I do believe that he has benefitted the most in terms of potentially gaining draft position due to this long layoff.
