May as well pick 1st overall in that case. Need a superstar Lafreniere to play with Larkin if we're going to escape the bottom third of the league.After 3 three years of top 10 picks, I'm actually kind of tired of it.
Hoping this is our last year for it.

Barron and Drysdale have looked very good in the Summer Showcase. I do wonder if the top 2 guys being RD in this draft will make them look more at the forward group, since they may feel we are pretty set there now.
Yet another reason the Seider pick irks
.
2018 - one of the most defense heavy drafts in recent memory. We need defense badly. We draft a winger, even though we have at least 4 quality 24-U wingers.
2019 - One of the weaker drafts for defense. We reach to draft defense instead of going for highly ranked centers and wingers.
2020 - Lots of Cs, Wingers and RD.
I'd much rather have gone
2018 - Hughes/Bouchard/Boqvist/Dobson
2019 - Cozens/Zegras
2020 - Whatever works best.
You can't blame Yzerman, I suppose.
He took over a team that used only one first round pick on defense in 12 years. It's no surprise our defense looks the way it does.
I don't know man.We’re going to have to wait and see what we have with Seider. If he plays in Grand Rapids this year, we should start to have a much clearer picture there.
Do I think they would draft a defenseman at 6 they don’t think will play on the power play and put up points? No, I don’t. So they clearly think highly of him and spent a lot of time on him last year. Maybe they’re wrong, or maybe he just wasn’t the hottest commodity in the scouting world due to playing a limited role in a lesser covered men’s league.
i totally agree about 18/bouchard-dobson-hughes-boquist , that draft in our weak d position i figured d for sure . kenny must have really really liked zadina and saw him with first line allstar potential . concerning 2019 i figure yzermans thinking at 6 to swing for the fences = go after the guy you think has best chance to be a star . but A#1 we couldnt go winger again , to loaded already and way too weak at d and c . cant go bpa forever ! and cozens-zegras only centers there so i figure yzerman wasnt high on them , and they were the only other choices in my book because theres no way i go winger again . so we rated seider best d in draft . now next draft like you say has alot of centers , thats the strategyYet another reason the Seider pick irks

Maybe Yzerman felt like Moritz was BPA AND filled a need?Yet another reason the Seider pick irks

It's not the only way by any means, but I think we're in for more than only 1 more top 10 pick, probably 2 or 3 but I could be wrong.How many #1s does Boston have?
Perfetti and Lapierre are some early favorites for me outside of Lafreniere/Byfield and the Euro’s.

Does Alexis Lafreniere play center or wing? I think he’s a winger but I am not sure.
It's odd to have him at 6, but I think he said both in running for 1st or for lottery positions. I'm going to give Lafreniere the benefit of the doubt until late November or WJC but top 5 is looking ridiculously good.Unless you're idiot Craig Button and think Byfield is #6 and Perfetti is ahead of him
He also has Antonio Stranges at #22 which is making me think he's close with people at the USNDT...it's extremely petty to rank Stranges that low right now.
