GDT: 2020 NHL DRAFT

[jkutswings]

Bring it on!!!

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

#1 Lucas Raymond #2 Marco Rossi #3 Yaraslov Askarov #4 Cole Perfetti for me.

 

[ShanahanMan]

Pronman thinks it will be one of:

Perfetti, Raymond, Askarov

 

[DatsDeking]

After going so long without any Red Wings hockey this feels like Christmas. As such, I am fully prepared to be disappointed after spending months overhyping my presents.

Merry Draftmas, you filthy animals!

 

[FabricDetails]

Future Red Wings Conn Smythe winner being selected tonight.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Anybody but Rossi out of the realistic choices please.

I think it is between Raymond, Perfetti, Askarov and Sanderson from what I have heard. Lots more out there to pressure Ottawa it feels like. Which is good we should be doing that.

 

[Rzombo4 prez]

Raymond or Perfetti are my top picks. I have a slight preference for the former because he shows a better motor (and skating) which makes him a bit safer. Both though have a ton of skill and will make others around them better. I would have no complaints about Drysdale, but I do not think he is an Yzerman-type defensemen. I could learn to like an Askarov pick if chips fall that way. I am pretty meh about Rossi but he is far from a cement hands fourth liner. The only guy I really want to stay away from his Sanderson. We took a defensemen cut from the same cloth last year and 2021 should have a lot of good defensive options.

I am far more interested to see who starts to slip in the mid to late first and whether anyone I like falls to within trade-up range. I understand it is a dumb move statistically at that point, but there is a group of players that I really like that could be around in the mid to late 20s (Brisson, Reichel, Perreault, Bourque, Zary, Holloway, Khusnutdinov) and the back part of the first is never very formful.

The dream is alive.

You thinking maybe they swap 4 for 5 in exchange for perhaps an Ottawa 2nd or 3rd?

 

[FabricDetails]

The dream is alive.

Yeah? Which guy do you want?

 

[SuperScript29]

I’m okay with whoever but Askarov would be the most ”ehhhh...” for me.

If in doubt, remember that Yzerman drafted Vasilevskiy.

 

[Kingpin794]

It's not a matter of who they take, but if they let Perfetti wear 91.

*Ducks*

 

[Lampedampe]

Will be happy with: Raymond, Perfetti or Drysdale

Okay with: Askarov or Sanderson

Unhappy with: Rossi, Holtz or Lundell

 

[lilidk]

What does this mean?

Rebellion

 

[SergeiYzerman]

It's not a matter of who they take, but if they let Perfetti wear 91.

*Ducks*

Yeah I've thought about that too. We can always retire it twice like the Yankees did for #8.

He's also worn 9 and 21 in the past, but 9 is obviously out and 21 is Cholowski's number, but since Perfetti isn't jumping to the NHL right away, there's always the possibility that Cholo isn't here when he is, if he doesn't show signs of progress this year.

But since 18 is available, naturally we could just save ourselves the headache and take Lucas Raymond instead

I almost want to see us pick Askarov just to see this place burn

I, for one, would welcome our goaltending overlord.

The order of the Askarov Hand will rule!!

 

[lilidk]

#1 Lucas Raymond #2 Marco Rossi #3 Yaraslov Askarov #4 Cole Perfetti for me.

I'd put Drysdale after Rossi. Even though we're set on RD still I will be happy if we get him

Honestly, askarov goes against my team building strategy but I’d be pretty jacked if we got him. It seems to me he is hyped as the best player in the draft All things being equal and that is nothing to scoff at.

His potential is tantalizing. If you're a true BPA guy Askarov doesn't escape the top 10. There are not 10 better skaters than Askarov in this draft, period.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Future Red Wings Conn Smythe winner being selected tonight.

Well whoever he is, He automatically becomes our #1 prospect by virtual because of the #4 pick.

 

[Ed Ned and Leddy]

It's finally here! I've gotten pretty burnt out discussing this draft class lol, feels like it's been forever.

I've pretty much made peace with whoever we take among the handful of guys in our predicted range. Askarov would spook me a bit, but I'm 100% behind whoever we draft tonight. Let's go Wings!

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

I'd put Drysdale after Rossi. Even though we're set on RD still I will be happy if we get him

Yeah honestly i'd put Jamie Drysdale well ahead of Yaraslov Askarov. Drysdale is in my 3 top choices as well after Raymond and Rossi. I'd be ecstatic if Yzerman were to draft Jamie Drysdale.

If it happens, I will drive to the VFW in Anoka and personally pour the Pig's Eye Lean down Bench's throat

 

[Avery Rule]

I think if Stutzle doesn't drop we go Askarov, still think we will see either Drysdale or Raymond get picked before we go.
