Ryan Kesler / Dylan Larkin / Nazem Kadri type. A perfect #2 really. Could see New Jersey going for that behind someone like Hughes. Or, Buffalo behind Eichel. He'll get picked top 5.
But, yeah, not exactly exciting.
I know it’s easy to forget because he’s hurt, but NJ have Nico Hischier to be #2. Great option for the Sabres though.
Not sure if it's come up already, but USNTDP winger Andre Gasseau looks like a prospect of interest for the Habs. Looks a lot like Luke Tuch, but the size of Alex Tuch. Grew up in LA, but his father is from Quebec and played in the QMJHL in his youth. Recruited by Boston College. Seems to hit a lot of markers for the GM. Size, physicality, smarts, and local connections with a local name.
Around #80-ish ATM, for what it's worth. He's a pretty interesting project, although playing with the USDP tends to add some inflated hype that isn't always warranted. We have a hundred picks yet again this year so he might be a good gamble. BC is a good program so he's gonna be in good hands development wise.What is his ranking?
He reminds me Jake Virtanen.Beniers kinda reminds me of Jordan Staal who went 2nd overall.
Beniers isn't my #1 or anything, but he actually has a brain.He reminds me Jake Virtanen.
My personal favorites (20-32 range): Oskar Olausson, Corson Ceulemans, Scott Morrow, Zachary L'Heureux, Nikita Chibrikov, Simon Robertsson and Samu Tuomaala.
Dynamic and skilled wingers: Olausson (LW), Chibrikov (RW) and Tuomaala (RW).
Powerforwards: Robertsson (RW) and L'Heureux (Center, but I see more a LW than a center)
Two-way defenseman: Ceulemans (RHD)
Offensive defenseman: Morrow (RHD)
What would be our biggest need?
IMO, probably an offensive defenseman.
BTW, there will not be huge difference between the quality of the prospect we can grab in that range vs the 1-20 range.
Dynamic and skilled wingers.. Olausson or Chibrikov would be awesome.,
I haven't been watching a ton, but among the guys I've seen L'Heureux and Olausson are also among my favourites.My personal favorites (20-32 range): Oskar Olausson, Corson Ceulemans, Scott Morrow, Zachary L'Heureux, Nikita Chibrikov, Simon Robertsson and Samu Tuomaala.

To have a chance at Olausson, we'd have to miss the playoffs and probably get in 10-13 range. Chibrikov top 20. Currently, we would pick 22nd.
A strong candidate for '' best name in draft'' , if nothing else !Chaz Lucius came back yesterday, popped a pair vs. Chicago Steel, after missing the first 30 odd games of the season with injury. The lost time may drop him into draft range for the Habs. He's a taller Cole Caufield who plays centre. Joe Sakic type of upside.
He reminds me Jake Virtanen.
In fact I think he's a young Danault... He's not as physical as Kesler was (he was a beast even in NCAA)No relationship at all, not sure how you are seeing this.
