2020 Entry Draft Thread

[Mrb1p]

Whats your top 10 atm ?

Honestly I wouldn't be able to list the ten best prospect up to the standard I like to keep.

Something like Lafreniere, Byfield, Stutzle, Raymond, Holtz, Askarov, Drysdale, Lundell, Rossi, Perfetti, Holloway or something like that... Note that I haven't scouted many of the 15-30 (Or 100+ in Dorofeyevs case) range that I usually like to overrank and look like a fool///genius depending on the hour of the day.

Note that this wouldn't be a list that Id hope for the Habs, to me the list for the Habs is something like
Lafreniere
Byfield
Stutzle
Raymond
Holtz
Drysdale
Lundell
Holloway

 

[WeThreeKings]

I do like Ponomaryov.

 

[covfefe]

Lafreniere is amazing, can’t wait to see him in the NHL

 

[Riggins]

Well we may be seeing him a lot, with the current odds there would be a 47.5% chance he ends up in our division:

Detroit (18.5%)
Ottawa via San Jose (11.5%)
Ottawa (7.5%)
Buffalo (6.5%)
Montreal (3.5%)

Yikes. San Jose better start winning.

Holtz is probably going to drop ala Caufield, not a bad player, just better options...

As a Brooklyn nine nine fan, I appreciate your order. Lol

That is all.

 

[calder candidate]

Anyone know if there going job opening to work at the draft? Guessing they likely need staff to work the events I think it would be pretty cool to be closer to the action.

Yeah, he’s going to look great in red... in Detroit.

I don't see too many better options than him tbh .. talent pool isn't very deep at the top.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Right now we are in the new Holtz, Perfetti, Askarov, Drysdale, Rossi, Holloway, Lundell range.

I think the top four is Laf Byfield Raymond Stutzle. So it would take a lottery win to be able to select one of them.

Big RHD always get drafted earlier then expected. I will be surprised if Drysdale is there for the #5th OA pick. After the combine we’ll see how things look but that seems like a safe bet to me.

In terms of draft option : it must be so fun to be an ottawa fan right now...

The way I see it is they are recouping the top pick they gave away.

If anyone of Lundell, holloway, Drysdale is there when we pick, I pick them over Holtz personally... That being said, Holtz remains a tremendous sniper, he has potential and wouldnt be a bad pick at 8-10 OV...

I likely take him over Holloway but the other two I'd take over him as well.

Mock draft here I come.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Guelph's Pavel Gogolev is absolutely tearing it up. He and Hillis are actually tearing it up. Gogolev has 61 pts in 35 GP after his 4-point performance tonight.

Looking at Elite Prospects, he is not ranked for this year's draft. But I doubt he will go undrafted this year like he did last year. It would be great if Habs used a pick on him.

 

[HabsForHire]

If we pick somewhere in the top 10 i hope one of holts, drysdale, lundell or Holloway fall to us. Wish we had another mid 1st rounder

 

[montreal]

Got to see Yan Kuznetsov for the 1st time, he's the youngest player in the NCAA. Tall RD but looks lanky. It was hard to get a read on him as his team was getting beat up and he wasn't too impressive in the defensive end but is having a big season in the offensive zone. I thought he didn't move his feet enough and his skating didn't look great but I would think he's a top 90 pick this summer.

 

[Gravity]

I could live with this (2nd sim)

Criminal he's gone undrafted to this point. Dude put up 30 goals on a shitty Peterborough team his first year of eligibility.

 

[Scintillating10]

Not sure where you heard this, I do not think so at all. Imo the 2nd round starts 18th pick.

It's more that the 2nd round goes until pick 55th about.

I could change my mind, but this looks like an average draft to me.

Kind of reminds me of '13 draft. Multiply stars early but drops off significantly around 10-12th.

 

[Boris Le Tigre]

Drysdale

 

[Sagikev]

Suzuki was at low point in the fans expectation last year at the same time while he was barely visible at the WJC. What were the expectations for Brayden Point in his last year in juniors? The reality is that it is very early to put a tag on Hillis, but he is doing right now on post Memorial Cup finalist in Guelph is very promising. He need to stay healthy. Also, the Habs will know Pavel Gogolev very well after this year. Could be worth one of our fourth round pick.

I'd take a flyer on Gogolev, with all those late picks, they should aim for the fences on some picks instead of boring guys like Leguerrier.

 

[NeptunesTrident]

Anyone prepared for Timmins to take Askarov? Needs to be considered
