2020 NHL Draft Thread: Who knows how many more days until this year's hockey tryouts? - Part III

[57special]

Kaiser is a great skater. If he could put on an inch or two he'd be interesting. I only saw him in a couple of games. Didn't stick out to me that much, but I wasn't looking for him, either.

I wouldn't pick him at #39. There should be some good LHD's there. If he's still there at the 4th pick you think about him. I also like Biondi and Richel(sic), a big RW for Blaine.

Like Beryozkin late in the draft. Big wing, who has apparently grown another couple of inches so he is 6'4". @Caser is pretty high on his game.

Don't know what C's will be available at #39. Will likely be pretty picked over at that point. I do think that there will be a run on D before that, with them going earlier than they are ranked by most. Maybe someone like a Reichel will slip through, but I am not holding my breath.

bordeleau or smilanic are two I’d keep an eye on at 39.

I wish enough people ignore Veeti Miettinen so that we can snag him in 4th round. Dude is electric - plus he is a Miettinen who can actually finish. What's not to love?

 

[57special]

don't tell us...he's a Left wing, too?

 

[TaLoN]

Does it even matter when you're talking about a 4th rounder?

 

[57special]

When Biondi might be around, then yes.

Sorry, the correct answer was no.

I think he's gone in the third. I'm looking forward to watching him live this year. If it's possible.

Left-shooting RW.

EDIT:

Yeah, he's college-bound. I hope the situation gets good enough so they can at least allow some fans in the stands. Don't see him dropping to 4th personally but... crazier things have happened.

Percent chance that a player ranked 15th or worse on most draft lists goes in the top 10?

If Fenton was here I'd say 50/50, but because it is Minnesota sports I'll say 50/50.

Wow great question. I say 60% for sure

 

[DANOZ28]

if lundell (1st choice) or rossi are not available at #9 i would trade back 3-5 spots and draft zary or holloway.

#RossiWatch is at 20 hours

I’ll leave some good clips so we can all get acclimated to next year’s 1C:

Reading this post filled me with an overwhelming sense of dread

 

[Legegendsofthenorth]

Holtz is my guess. Or hope!

 

[Prior]

Lundell sliding to 21 feels borderline laughable but we’ll see I guess.

He is not getting past the Jets.

 

[DeagleJenkins]

most recent mocks iv seen has us taking Holtz over Lundell. someone speed up time so its the draft already!

Draft day. Throw your final prediction out there. The Wild, assuming they pick 9th, will select ___ tonight.

I'm going Holtz.

I feel like Holtz is a Judd Brackett kind of pick. So, that is my pick too.
