Assuming Anaheim's biggest longterm need is a 1C, I'd comfortably pick Byfield over Zegras to fill that void. Byfield is a 6'4", 220lb man-child who turned 17 a month ago. But to say he dominates due to size alone would discredit his incredible skating and stick-handling.Zegras will be better than Byfield imo. Byfield is huge compared to his peers once he gets to NHL that advantage will go away.
Im okay withI so desperately would love to have a Byfield-Zegras-Steel center core for the next 10 years.
Im okay with
Zegras-steel- lundy- groulx
I think we need to look at those potential elite wingers to go along side terry rakell comtois jones kase ritchie tracey. A guy like raymond or holtz would be nice.
I also really like drysdale or barron... adding 1 of them to lindholm fowler and manson would be huge.
If his dad is Don Drysdale he should be a hitting machine.Drysdale should be the guy if we are looking for a defender. Barron reminds me so much of Fowler and I don't know if this board could handle another Cam.
Lukas Cormier is a Q defender I like a fair amount. Talented skater and playmaker.
I’d love to get Drysdale or Barron, if we’re picking around 9 again, we’d be in a prime spot to get one of them. If we can’t get Lafreniere/Byfield/Raymond/Perfetti, I’d prefer to go defense for sure.Im okay with

His dad Don Drysdale liked to bean people with the ball on the LA Dodgers. LA Kings will get him lol.Not really related, but Drysdale went out for 23 years with the common cold in one of my EHM saves, effectively ending his career. As much as I'd love to have him on the team as I think he's the best RHD in this class, I'm also going to laugh so hard if we get him.
We need the following with our first pick RHD, a SHOOTER or LHD in that order. If we can land someone like Caufield that would be amazing we need more shooters that can score and 1 time the puck.
Top 3 centers all on the smaller side is asking for for many mismatchesIm okay with

While I agree a bit, its kinda what we have at the moment. I don't really expect em all to be on the team together... its just nice to have some potential center depth. But id agree wed need to find a lil size down the middle to go with the skill.Top 3 centers all on the smaller side is asking for for many mismatches
One of those 3 should get traded for a top 4 dman. Hopefully not Zegras
For sure, I think they are their own tier, with Raymond, Holtz, and Perfetti one below them, and then everyone else. If we can get one of those 5 forwards, I'd be pleased, if not, I hope we end up with Barron , Drysdale, or Schneider, provided we aren't a playoff team this year.Lafreniere and Byfield seem to be on another level this draft.
A name to keep an eye on, for sure. There's a nice crop of second-tier defensemen who will likely be available in the late first and second rounds.I believe we're a playoff team. So we're picking in the 20s again. I see Helge Grans putting up points. In 11 games this season, he's got 10 points, all assists. The 10 points has him tied for 3rd in team scoring. I really don't know much else aside from his physicals of 6'3, 192 pounds, and shoots right-handed. He's listed as a B-type player from the PDF provided by NHL CSS above.

This is Pronman's updated draft rankings from today.
Fairly certain posting the full list would trigger the HF overlords, so I'll post the top-5, defensemen, and Finnish player(s). How's that for a compromise?Can you post the list here, I don't have access![]()
