With it being Mid-November, I figured it would be a good time to start up this thread and see what kind of talent we are looking at this year

Damn, didn't even notice that . FixedAlmost November? Have you been in a coma?
I don't know how much of this draft class I'll be able to talk about since I was picked up by a scouting organization, but there are some very high-level players available. Kirby Dach is making a huge surge up my rankings, and he was a top-1o pick to begin the season at. This is still the Hughes draft, but there is plenty of forward talent available in guys like Kakko, Boldy, Cozens, Lavoie, Dach, Pelletier, etc.
Defensively, I don't think there are as high of caliber players in the top realm of the draft. There are guys like Bowen Byram and Cam York who are great all-around players. There is also Anttoni Honka, who I thought would make a big jump, but hasn't quite done it yet. One defenseman in particular who has risen up the rankings a lot is Mississauga Steelheads d-man, Thomas Harley.

All of ours minus our 3rd and plus Anaheim's 3rdWhat picks do we have in this draft as of right now?

My post in the game thread asking who the consensus #1 pick was deleted, so I guess it's a good thing this thread got bumped this morning.

Hugues was the consensus pick for this years draft, last year.
With that said, I personally think that it's way closer then some might think. If it wasn't for the fact that Hughes is a center, I don't think he'd go 1st overall over Kaapo Kakko and I think Kirby Dach will make a solid case to go in the top #3 when all is said and done. Dylan Cozens is another stud with size, speed and grit who like Dach, plays the center position and can also play the right wing if need be.
The top #5 this year is pretty solid IMO and I rather make the playoffs but if we don't and manage to pick in the top #5, we would be getting a heck of a player.
I’ve read that Cozens has much better skating that Dach? Is that true? If so, I think he’d be a great choice, the speed fits, we could use another RH shot, and he’s toughness in the dirty areas. Maybe as a C or maybe lining up on Hischier’s RW.
only way we get kakko is if we're picking top 5, i thinkNico to Kakko, scaaar!
I can hear it now
