Nice to see someone else like fagemo at 35, I think we stick with our 3 2ndsI think he's right in there with about 10-15 other guys that should be available for our 2nd round picks.
It seems as though there are a lot of players with interesting upside in the 20-50 range. Some forwards I like in the 2nd are are Fagemo, Robertson, Afanasyev, Nikolayev, Spiridonov, Puistola, Legare, Firstov. For defenceman there aren't as many, but I like Korczak, Bjornfot, or Kokkonen; though neither list include players that could fall. For #35 specifically I think I'd target a faller from the end of the 1st, but any of Puistola, Afansyev, Fagemo, and Spiridonov would be picks I like at 35.
I wouldn't be opposed to trading one of our later 2nds back for another 3rd + another pick to be honest, say to Vegas for their two 3rds. There should still be a bunch of interesting players left at the start of the 3rd and the more of the lottery type players we can get the better. Players like Constantinou, Albert Johansson, Kim Nousiainen, Schmiemann or Vukojevic for defenceman and Serdyuk, Beaucage, Macelli, Mastrosimone, Sheshin, Cajkovic, Cody Morgan (he had a fantastic 2nd half with Flint), and of course my favorite reach for this years draft Kristian Tanus. Almost all are ranked 60+ but have numbers comparable to those of higher picks. Also, if we could get 1 of Dustin Wolf or Ilya Konovalov as our token goalies pick I'd be happy.
I'm not sure if it's just because I'm paying more attention to the later rounds this year but it seems like there are some undervalued, at least relative to their current rankings, players in this years draft. So long as we stick with our approach from 2018 I think we should come out of this draft with a couple of very good prospects.
We have thrun we can grab,Helleson,bjornfot,knyazev And a few others at d , if anything I try and ship some bodies like helm,Daley on draft weekend and try and land another 3rd or 2 or just try and trade 2019’s 3rd for one of vegas’s 3rds if it’s doable and try and land another 3rd at 2020’s draft through trades later on
