I refuse to get hyped for any given prospect because the Pens always end up taking some guy way off the board who I know nothing about.

Wonder if a team like Chicago that is still in contender status would consider something like Kessel + our first for the 3rd overall. Or a team like Colorado or Anaheim which still fancy themselves contenders.
Rangers did something similar a few years ago with Stepan when they dealt him and Raanta for the 7th overall and D'angelo.

No he wouldn't. He is maybe a 2nd 3rd line player at best. Don't let what he just did to the Pens cloud your judgement about the type of player he really is.

What he did to the Pens is not going to cloud my judgement, but Eberle is not a 3rd line player
He would be on Sid or Geno's wing in a top 6 role and IMO could replace Kessel for who we get assets for in a trade

Bobby Brink all day. We finally want skill and skating with Crosby and Malkin. This kid has both and do t be fooled by his size. He's puck heavy and absolutely dynamic.
He'll drop but Jett Jungels is another target.
Grant Docter and Josh Ludke are two Dmen to target. Modern style and wheels to burn.

The way JR is going we'll probably pick some 6 foot 4 lug who has no skill.

I dont know... CP has to be their Minnesota scout.
Ryder Donavan in 6'4" and absolutely flies. Plus he puts up points playing for Mike Randolph who's a very defensive coach.

Talked about it in other threads but basically we pick #23 right now.
Very good chance we move to #22 if Vegas reaches the the CF(pretty likely).
If both Vegas and COL advance to round 2, we get #22 automatically since one of 'em going to the CF moves us up 1 spot.
The other scenarios:
-CBJ reaches the CF...up 1 spot
-CAR reaches the CF...up 1 spot
-STL or WPG getting thru NSH or DAL in Rd2...up 1 spot
So highest we can reach is #19.
Pretty good chance we reach #22-21 in my mind.
#19 would need everything above to go our way.
ETA: Heres a list of players in that 1st rd area. Missing would be some top D that may drop:

You have to think that Caufield is playing his way into the top 10 with his U18 performance.
Pens need a top 6 winger. Plenty of D is available in the later rounds.

Matthew Robertson, LD from the Edmonton Oil Kings intrigues me. Big kid at 6'4", roughly 200 lbs already, but a strong (but not I would call exceptional) skater. He uses his size, but doesn't fall into that game of trying to physically dominate every battle, instead using his intelligence and length to win some battles before they even start.
Robertson falls because of concerns over his offensive potential. And, it's true, he won't ever have the numbers of a Karlsson/Letang/Burns... but he is not, say a Lauzon-like black hole offensively. He has a good outlet pass and has a deceptive shot, in my opinion. I think 30-ish points should be about what to expect per-season. Basically, I think Robertson has the potential to be a better version of Dumoulin, if he hits his potential. On the low-end, I still see him making it as a 3rd pairing guy.
A mid round prospect I like is Ethan Keppen, LW from Flint. Another big kid at 6'2" ~210 lbs, Keppen plays a power forward game combined with an incredible work ethic. No matter the situation, Keppen always looks to be giving 100% effort. As with most power forward prospects, the worry is skating. I see enough that makes me think he will progress enough to be a legit NHLer, but others obviously disagree, as he is consistently ranked in the 3rd or 4th rounds.

I'm going all in for Bobson Dugnutt myself, though Onson Sweemey could be a real gem if he pans out.

I love how many of those are so VERY close to a real name but just... not quite.
For some reason Scott Dourque cracked me up. That and Todd Bonzalez.
Boston being eliminated is irrelevant as Toronto and Boston are guaranteed to pick after us. We want the Preds to lose now but as long as they don't make the conference final it ensures we mve up another spot as that means Winnipeg or STL makes it. OGBF laid it out pretty well, we're anywhere between 19 and 23, most likely 21 or 22.

US vs. Russia is on NHL Network at 9:30 AM tomorrow. Not sure who outside of Podkolzhin is worth watching on Russia.. Dorofeyev is slated to be a mid-1st round pick but he's too old for the tournament. Virtually the entire US roster is worth watching though.
In the Sweden-US game one guy that I wasn't even looking for but stood out to me was John Beecher.. Seems like he's slated to go in the 2nd or later.
