Prospect Info: 2019 NHL Entry Draft

[Teemu Salami]

Imagine the Caufield hype coming into the league if he lights up NCAA the same way

 

[darkwingduck]

Boldy on Baldy's wing

 

[bsu]

Zegras pass on Hughes goal and Caufield shot is insane

 

[Vinegar Strokes]

Give me Zegras or Dach. I’m a sucker for playmaking centers.

 

[Anaheim4ever]

I'd love it if a team in front of the Ducks picks Caufield so that the Ducks have a higher chance of being able to select Krebs at #9. Honestly wouldn't mind if Murray picks Lavoie given his speed/size & skill as a Center.

Lavoie is a winger. There's been questions of his compete level and he goes long periods of looking disinterested. I'd rather Ducks avoid those kind of players in the 1st round.

i'm not going to pretend to really know the abilities of any of these prospects, but I feel like we have enough playmakers as it is. We really need to start getting some pure goal scores into the organization, don't you think?

He's also listed as a Center, have read he can play it as much as Kakko can.

 

[Doothpick]

Lavoie hasn't played center since he was 16, so it's a pretty good bet he'll be a winger in pros as well. Kakko also hasn't played center basically ever, it was an experiment earlier in the season that didn't go over too well. Kakko might have the smarts and skill-set suited for center, but I'd bet he'll be a winger as well.

 

[KickHisAssZegrass]

I could see the Ducks reaching a bit and going with Beecher with the other first. Wouldnt hate the idea either. Dude is a legit 6' 3" and ridiculous speed, true center.

Zegras/Beecher draft would be awesome. Wouldnt hate if they reached for Caufield either. He's tiny but that kind of goal scoring ability is game changing.

I think we need to start thinking about the player that can replace Getzlaf. For me, your first line center should primarily be a playmaker, with the ability to score goals when necessary. We have enough wingers who can score goals, we need the next player that is going to control the play and feed them the puck and for me that’s Zegras and Dach.

What’s the playoff scenario that we need to for out 2nd 1st rounder? We rooting for the Blues or would that make them too high and push us out to Buffalos’ worst pick?

We need the sharks to go out in this round to make a big difference. If they don't, either pick ends up 28-31 but we get the better of the two.

Edit: Well actually the Blues could fall to 19 if they lose this round but we wouldn't get it then.

 

[cheesymc]

Ok, good to know. I can root against DAL, SJ, and BOS. Tough to root against AVS with them hurting our players but they did a good job against those CAL fockers like Tkachuk and Giodano.

Maybe I’ll root for CBJ since they never won anything.

By the way, Murray needs to look at Russian talent more... seems like most champions have some Russians. All except for maybe Boston.

Damnit. I can`t see how Colorado would win SJ. I guess 28-31 it is then. You had one job, Las Vegas

Most (actually all) champions have great players. Nationality is irrelevant.

The referees didn't really help them, to be fair.

You must not have watched the Avs destroy the Flames. If they play anything close to that level against SJ then the Avs will win that series. Doesn't help SJ that Pavelski and EK are hurting.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Has there been any news on Pavelski? His injury truly looked awful. Hope he is ok.

 

[Mr Rogers]

Heard he's doubtful for tonight's game. Otherwise they've been pretty quiet about it.

That injury looked pretty bad. I don't know if he cracked his head or his helmet just pinched his scalp cutting him causing the blood.

Yeah was thinking the same thing. Hopefully the latter, but I'm not too confident about that.

 

[DavidBL]

Part of me hopes thay if his head was actually cracked they would have done more to stabalize him than just put a towel on his head to stem the flow of blood.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Heard he's doubtful for tonight's game. Otherwise they've been pretty quiet about it.

Yeah, I saw the "doubtful" status. Wasn't sure if that was good news that he is close to being OK or just playoff subterfuge of not wanting the opponent to know who/what to plan for.

I think the AVS have a great chance at beating SJ even though they have 2 super start Dmen in Burns and Karlsson. It really all falls on Martin Jones, and I don't think he is that good and is very streaky. He is SJs achilles heel.
