We should start focusing on midround talents. We’re not making our first pick im like 99% sure.
winning the last game was so dumb. we had a realistic chance to move up two spots.
What do you propose? Throwing the game? That is a fine lesson to teach your young playerswinning the last game was so dumb. we had a realistic chance to move up two spots.

ugh why? I still wouldn't mind another high end forward to let marinate for a few years. especially if someone who fits a need is around in the mid teens.We should start focusing on midround talents. We’re not making our first pick im like 99% sure.
Dolan disagrees. Even if it isn't Eichel, we will still be trying to boost our roster one way or another, and our 1st rounder is a useful asset.ugh why? I still wouldn't mind another high end forward to let marinate for a few years. especially if someone who fits a need is around in the mid teens.
There really are no high end forwards in this draft that will be around at 15.ugh why? I still wouldn't mind another high end forward to let marinate for a few years. especially if someone who fits a need is around in the mid teens.
We could be feeling differently in 2-3 years. Of course it would depend what we got back but would like a few more talented forwards in the system.There really are no high end forwards in this draft that will be around at 15.
Of course anything could happen. But the indicators are all looking like that type of forward, or player in general, will not be there at 15. This is just not that type of draft, compounded by the events of the last year.We could be feeling differently in 2-3 years.

Maybe I'm trying to stay glass half full and maybe this will be the draft were some gems fall down to the teens/late teens bcause of the lack of exposure/playing time due to covid.Of course anything could happen.

Exactly. They are out there. It's never black and white with this draft sucking and the next one being the best ever. There is probably some grey area and I hope with our first rounder and some good slots in the 3rd and 4th rounds we can at least find one or two productive forwards who can contribute in 2,3,4 years.This is a draft where you probably don't go in with confidence that you're finding a high-end talent, but they're probably out there somewhere.
It'll be a matter of homework and, frankly, a bit of good fortune.

Most of the talk that I've seen on here for our pick has circled around Raty or L'Heureux, and I haven't seen much about McTavish or Sillinger. Why is that?
Do people expect them to be off the board by then, is there more doubt about their future at centre than the other two, or is it something else?

I can see the Rangers packaging their 1st for an established NHL player. Feels about that time in the rebuild.
Been saying this for most of the year and I feel it's heightened now with the management makeover.
We'll see what happens...
There are questions about Sillinger's will to compete at the NHL level. And McTavish's tournament probably propels him to top-10.Most of the talk that I've seen on here for our pick has circled around Raty or L'Heureux, and I haven't seen much about McTavish or Sillinger. Why is that?

This year will be the year of steals. Lots of history of guys who had a very good tournament inflate their value only to find out that it was artificial. Not saying that is McTavish, but that danger is there. There will be lots of guys who had a rough season because of a rough year, slide down in the draft, and then teams will be making out like bandits once those players return to normal. Teams that don't scout well historically will probably be totally screwed.There are questions about Sillinger's will to compete at the NHL level.

Agreed on your last point. To add to your first sentence, while yes there will probably be steals but there will also be a lot of swings and misses. To which your overall arching point of teams will pay the price for not having a good scouting staff in place.This year will be the year of steals.
