[Zip15]

Too soon? Never.

McKenzie has his preseason top-15 out today. Nolan Patrick of Brandon is at #1.



Tank Quick for Patrick?

OHL started last night, QMJHL tonight, and WHL/USHL on Friday. This year's AAPG is in Philly and streams free tonight on FastHockey, IIRC. Previews of that are included below:

Tank Quick for Patrick?

Close, but I prefer, "lottery pick for Patrick".

If anyone plans on watching St. Cloud St. regularly in order to see how Borgen is doing, please keep an eye on Ryan Poehling, too. As a 17/18 year old playing NCAA hockey, he has the potential to rocket up draft boards if he plays well, OR fall if he doesn't adjust easily. Accelerating is a tough thing to do.

No-goalin' for Nolan.

Middle of the pack for Mittlestadt

Lottery win for Liljegren

There's a couple of Finnish LHD expected to go in the 1st round. I'd be thrilled if we could get our hands on one to develop into Ristolainen's future partner.

Hire Nolan for Nolan?

"Nolan Patrick of Brandon"

Three first names!

 

[Moskau]

Liljegren is great I've always wanted to draft a professional Magic the Gathering player.

 

[1972]

Nolan Patrick reminds me of a bigger version of Sam Reinhart. He's going to be a really good player down the line.

so glad we don't need one of these this year...

how about, "We don't have a 1st rounder, because we traded it to deepen our playoff run".... probably needs some work...

He's basically RNH.

Two more early lists were released: NHL Central Scouting Players to Watch and Sportsnet’s 2017 NHL Draft Prospect Rankings .. Mark Edwards on TPS last week --> https://s3.amazonaws.com/2017nhldraftaudio/Mark_Edwards_Sep27.mp3

Skipping first day
for Sabres in May.

Thank god for the trade
That got us a parade

What the hell Murray
Not another goalie

It remains to be seen how good 2017 draft will be but unless there is an absolutely elite goal scorer available we need a Dman--either side but preferably left--in the worst way.

 

[DJN21]

Hoping for just enough lottery luck to land foote...

 

[Reddawg]

Very early, but not a very exciting class in comparison to the last four. Even 14 looks comparably more exciting.
