You still have Perfetti as an option.

Literally just cast my vote on the Detroit board, haha! (Observing, I’m not a monster)

I have Rossi and Sanderson higher but I think you have to swing for the fences with this pick.

Raymond all the way.

 

[Taluss]

Raymond, but I’d be happy with Drysdale.

 

[Senscore]

So many great options here, but I gotta go with Raymond.

 

[Altimus]

I'm really hoping its Raymond

 

[Blotto71]

Time to load up on high-end forward talent - Raymond all the way. I feel like the Sens have enough back-end talent coming that they can ice 1 very good and 2 serviceable pairings the year after next. Time to secure some talent that can help this team maintain possession and bury the biscuit!

 

[TheDebater]

Two teams in the bottom 5 of the top 10 of this draft are going to get really lucky I think.

If it does play out like this and Ottawa does take Raymond at 5, that would mean the team drafting 7th is going to wind up with either Drysdale or Rossi. Could end up being the steal of the 1st round if they hit their potential.

 

[Billy Bridges]

Askarov is the tallest so went with him. #aragonlogic

 

[Liver King]

Raymond running away with it

I was genuinely curious how this would go

 

[Adele Dazeem]

Raymond is getting the votes because this team is lacking in the right side. In terms of skill and ability Rossi is the better forward prospect. I'd much rather trade for Boeser (if he's available) and draft Rossi.
Adding Byfield/Stutzle + Rossi + Boeser would give us a very nice top-6 in addition to Chucky, Batherson and one of Norris/Brownx2/White/Duclair...

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Went with Sanderson. I definitely get the Raymond love but he just doesnt seem like a Sens pick to me. I think it'll be Rossi, Sanderson, or Draisaitl [Drysdale] but Sanderson is just the epitome of a Sens pick. Big, smooth skating, intelligent, big riser throughout the year.... not entirely unlike Chabot in his draft year, although there are some obvious differences between the two.

 

[Dion TheFluff]

Raymond has got this one in the bag.
Could probably move onto Anaheim now

We are about 6 years too late to be drafting Draisaitl... Did you mean Drysdale?

 

[KevinRedkey]

Rossi > Raymond IMO

I wouldnt be upset if we picked Raymond though.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Lol, yes. Thats what I get for posting at the tail end of Caeser night.

Rossi is a great player but there is no way he has higher skill than Raymond.

 

[Liver King]

I'd be happy with Sanderson Raymond or Rossi

Thought the voting would be closer between the three

Went with Raymond because hes a RW and I was pretty wowed by him after watching few games against his age group... also think Stutzle + Raymond on our power play would be deadly

 

[armani]

This is another home run pick, can't go wrong with Rossi, Raymond, Drysdale, or Perfetti. Byfield is a natural centre, Stutzle is a tweener, so prefer Rossi who's in the same tier as Raymond to fill the gap in centres (especially if Stutzle is the 3rd pick). This team hasn't had a true number 1 centre since Spezza.

We already have Chabot and a number of top-4 potential prospects coming up the ranks in Brannstrom (I saw great promise despite size), JBD, and Lassi Thomson. I will focus on forward with this pick.

We can pick a defenceman with any of the other top-62 picks. 2021 draft class is better for picking defencemen anyway.

 

[Bileur]

I prefer Rossi but would be just as happy with Raymond. One of those two plus one of Byfield and Stutzle and I’m a happy camper.

 

[Hasbro]

Thanks guys, see you at 28.

 

[Micklebot]

Thanks guys, see you at 28.

Always appreciate it when somebody puts in the effort to do something like this. Thanks

I was about to make a poll about the #5 and found this one.

Interesting.

Recency bias for Raymond?

I find it funny that there's a lot of talk about Sanderson and yet he has two votes here.

Oooof, I don't envy the scouting staff.
