I''d agree with that. It seems like we're not hearing much about any of the top guys outside of Kaliyev, it seems like even Suzuki is kind of flying under the radar. I feel like any of Tomasino, McMichael, or Robertson could be around at our 2nd round pick and then there is Jamieson Rees who is making a push upwards as well.
Thoughts on Broberg?
Too much of a wildcard for me.
I have him in a group with Newhook, Kaliyev, Lavoie, and Brink after the 15 I listed. Those guys are good but scare me for various reasons.
I will say I’m far more familiar with the North American guys, FWIW.
Same, that's why I'm wondering. I like your top 15 a lot though. I'm high on Soderstrom and Pelletier as well. I think Pelletier will be a steal, I'd be shocked if he goes as high as 12 though.

I just want to draft him so we can call him Mongo. #90sprowrestlingMcMichael is going to rise as the draft gets closer. I'd love to get a 2nd first rounder (Nyquist????) and grab him. I don't think McMichael will last past 25th.
Mongo only pawn, in game of life.I just want to draft him so we can call him Mongo. #90sprowrestling
Looking at the Central Scouting rankings and just thinking about it more, I think this will be a draft where we take mostly forwards. After Round 1, I really like the group of forwards significantly better than the defenseman out there. Maybe we can try to double up on them in round 2 or something.
Like grab a center round 1, double up on D in round 2, and then go for a high upside forward or winger in round 3...?
RD1: Dylan Cozens
RD2: Kaedan Korczak
RD2: Marshall Warren
RD3: Maxim Cajkovic or Egor Serdyuk
I'm not seeing a lot of attractive options for defenseman in rounds 3-7. Maybe we look at overagers, or maybe there are some Euro's I'm not aware of, but it's kind of slim pickings this year.
Thoughts on Broberg?
I flirt with dropping him from time to time, but he remains my number one D-man because of his sheer athletic ability. Yeah I worry he is Bogosian, but his peak might be Brent Burns.... So yeah, he has all the tools, breathtaking skater with size. He hasn't played quite as well this year as I hoped. He probably winds up a 6'4" 230 lbs D-man with elite skating... Pretty interesting package but he is a reach where we should be picking.
You have him ahead of Byram?? I think I may be higher on Byram than most. I'd honestly consider him at 4th overall. Behind the obvious ones, I like Cozens 3rd and then Byram 4th. He has good mobility and good vision, I like his creativity.
And you have Kakko like 8th IIRC?I can't say I would pass up the centers for him. I have him over Kakko on my board.

I just hope whoever we take ends up being the best player in the draft. Where they are @18 and 25 are usually always very different rankings
I thought we were focusing on the best player in the draft? Why are you bringing up Rasmussen?Great logic and yet most of this board will freak out like they did over Rasmussen if the organization doesn't select their favourite prospect.

Cozens and Dach are both good players, but I feel a tad overrated .
Would really like to see Detroit go for quality over quantity in this draft, maybe move some of our picks at the deadline along with players to try and move up as high as possible.
I feel like Lavoie is heating up, I liked what I saw from him at the u18 last year, and Krebs is probably one of the next few on my list. Admittedly, Krebs probably would be higher if he had even a single decent teammate, I'm sure his stat line could be much better if that was the case.Lavoie top 10? No Krebs?
Interesting you say that Dach and Cozens are overrated but you have Lavoie top 10. I feel the opposite.
