2020 Draft & Undrafted Free Agent Thread

[I Eat Crow]

I think we see Askarov, Stutzle, and Drysdale climb up to that 3rd grouping and Holloway slip down into that 4th group.

 

[QJL]

That analysis of the groupings seems accurate from the lists I’ve read. Of those names, I’d go:

Lafreniere

Raymond
Byfield
Gunler

Lundell
Perfetti
Stutzle
Holtz

Drysdale
Rossi
Barron
Askarov
Lapierre
Holloway

Chromiak, Ponormaryov, Hirvonen, Schneider, and Zary would be the next 5 candidates I expect to rise into that last group.

Who the **** is Hendrix Lapierre? Sounds like a made up EA NHL prospect.

Really smart, skilled playmaking C currently playing in the Q. He jumped into the spotlight after dominating at the Hlinka this year, but he was also one of the best players on his team as a U17 last season. My biggest knock on him is his skating, but he's really elusive despite not being that fast.

I think we see Askarov, Stutzle, and Drysdale climb up to that 3rd grouping and Holloway slip down into that 4th group.

Askarov is arguably the 2nd most talented player in this draft class, but he's going to have the stigma of being a goalie surrounding him.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Can we be sure that Stützle projects as a C in the NHL? Not that he'd be a bad winger.

I think Perfetti is a fair alternative in that 5-10 range. Looking forward to "scouting" more of these kids.

He may be one of those players that drops to a point that years later you ask how could he have gone so low?

 

[True Blue]

I think Perfetti is a fair alternative in that 5-10 range. Looking forward to "scouting" more of these kids.

Currently, I have Lundell & Holloway as the picks in the range.

But am starting to beat the drum for Mysak. He has high skill and the well rounded game that Gorton and Quinn seem to like.

Switch Gunler and Holtz and that's my exact list.

 

[Joey Bones]

That's bad.... Heavily Canadian biased....

 

[Machinehead]

I'm still waiting for Jack Ahcan

 

[Joey Bones]

Lapierre being overly dramatized there. He's good, but not No. 2, ATM. Holloway and Lundell getting under-hyped.... same with Drysdale.

That list will change....

As of right now I feel like I’m disproportionately high on Lundell compared to most others, but I’m willing to wait to be proved right

 

[Ola]

Holtz have had a good start for DIF, so have Gunler for LHF. Raymond must win a spot for Frolunda.

not before henriksson

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Perfetti is pretty fantastic.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

That's bad.... Heavily Canadian biased....

I thought the same thing. Craig needs to make up for the last three drafts not featuring any Canadians vying for the number 1 spot.

 

[ChicagoBullsFan]

They're not, but if the Rangers walk away with Lundell, I would do a jig.

What's wrong with Lundell ?
Yes he's not greatest scorer or even best scorer and offensive upside is not high.
But those details won't make him potential bust yet.

Umm... I don’t think you really grasped TB’s text.

 

[Joey Bones]

Honestly, I think Roni Hirvonen is gonna surprise a lot!!

 

[True Blue]

Umm... I don’t think you really grasped TB’s text.

I admit that I had a head scratching moment there.

 

[Thirty One]

That list will change....

Bold.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Uhm yeah ... looks good.

 

[hi]

Nothing says top 15 pick quite like having a circle drawn around your head while sitting on the bench during a coach's pep talk halfway through a highlight video

 

[brians1128]

Uhm yeah ... looks good.

Give me him and Pytlik after we deal at the deadline
