2015 NHL Entry Draft

[Qward]

With the Sens being projected by many to finish in the bottom of the league this season, I thought it would be a positive to focus on where we might be drafting and showing the top 5 picks in this up coming draft. Some people are not familiar with these players so I hope this helps them out. Try to find positives in the negatives.

*I will add info as their seasons progress, I will use mynhldraft.com as a reference to the current scouting positions. If players fall or rise I will replace them. I will also show where Ottawa is projected to finish and the player that is projected to go at that pick.
I welcome suggestions.

I hope we manage to finish high enough to snag a spot in the playoffs, but get lucky enough to snag Konecny. The kid is a bit small, but such amazing talent. If he was 6-feet tall, he'd be talked about in the top 3-4 for the draft.

Interesing to see where we end up picking this year with such a deep draft.

 

[internetdotcom]

I wonder how high, if we did finish with the 8th overall pick, our 2nd and the DAL 2nd (assuming its mid-late in the round) would allow us to trade up in the first round? 4th overall? 5th? Depends on the teams and their needs of course, but I wonder.

 

[Sensinitis]

Not too much I would think considering how deep the draft is.

Maybe, but after the top 2 picks, I don't see that much difference between the next 8 - 10 picks or so.

 

[BigBush*]

I'd be more interested in seeing prospected projected to go 10th-18th as the team isn't bad enough to get a top 5 pick (unless they get really lucky)

 

[SlapJack]

McDavid still plays for Erie, no?

 

[BigRig4]

I think McDavid plays for Erie

 

[Inf4mous0ne]

McDavid still plays for Erie, no?

That's what I thought. They have him listed on both rosters though


Edit: No longer there. Either I was seeing things or it was changed. Incoming trade? e4.

 

[Benjamin]

Yay. Actually care to follow the draft this year.

As the standings change and the prospect rankings change I will update both as required.


and yes he plays for Erie. I goofed lol.

Gimme Eichel

 

[derriko]

So tell me about Hanifin. I thought I read somewhere hes some athletic freak who relies on his speed and agility. Someone EK could mentor into a mini EK. Sounds good to me.

Connor McDavid IS the clear-cut number one.

Just because the Hockey News hunted down a scout who would say otherwise so they had a reason to write an article doesn't mean that 99% don't prefer McDavid. Most teams have over ten scouts.

As well as to inform, the articles on NHL.com are written with the league's agenda in mind, it benefits them to pump the tires of two superstars rather than one; also, the boldest statement gets the most attention.

No one is picking Eichel #1, it's just not going to happen. There is no argument here.

The gap isn't as wide as you think. Eichel clearly outplayed McDavid at the world juniors last year. If he does the same thing this year, there will be a real debate going on between the two.

4 of 9 scouts at the draft choose Eichel, when asked who they would take. So no, McDavid isn't the clear number 1.

draft isn't tomorrow

 

[Qward]

draft isn't tomorrow

Yup, McDavid could go down with a concussion and Eichel could light it up. Anything can happen. Saying McDavid is the clear number 1 is simply incorrect.

 

[Savitar]

It's so nice we have three picks in the first 3 Rounds!

 

[Savitar]

Besides Englund who I like a lot and maybe Perron I felt the Sens punted this draft cause they couldn't even get a 1st for Spezza

 

[internetdotcom]

Maybe it was a typo, but we have at least 3 picks in the first 2 rounds that I know of (our 1st, DAL 2nd, our 2nd).
