Not exactly harsh on Johnson. He said he needs to simplify. But he also said he’s likely the most skilled forward in the draft.
I see Kent Johnson as similar Elias Pettersson. Maybe Hayton can be a poor man’s Horvat.

Scouch has Johnson 6th. Kournianos has him 4th. Pronman has him 6th. Wheeler has him 2nd.
The McKenzie Poll has him 9th.
The McKenzie Poll has him 9th.

Everyone else is praising Johnson to the moon and his stats and eye test both pass. Not a huge fan of Sillinger, give me Mctavish or Johnson.

The only player I would trade up for is McTavish. I’m fine with sitting at 9th and seeing who drops.

Here’s the important thing!!!
When that f***ing 11th overall placeholder is up there humiliating us all night and after pick 10 when they go on stage just to shit talk us. When the broadcast team is heaping piles of garbage on us all night about.
We will have ALREADY picked at NINE!!!!

Praying that one of Johnson or Mctavish will be there at 9. If they aren't, well, there's a bunch of other C that we could draft but those are the two most exciting ones. Just don't draft Cossa or a d-man in the 1st and we'll be fine.

This is going to sounds wacked ,.but I would be very happy with Fedor Svechkov... i dont know if there is still a "Russian issue" , but this guy would be great IMO. I know he is lower down the list..

One of the guys I was looking at along with Chayka. Although we probably stay away from Chayka because of his name
Great two way forward, I'd be happy to move back and get him. This draft is such a crap shoot no idea where anyone is going.

So what’s the consensus top 9?
From Bobby Mac:
“There’s not much at all separating Beniers, Edvinsson, Eklund, McTavish and Guenther. Any one of them may be worthy of No. 2 honours depending upon the preference of the individual teams ranking them.
And here’s where it gets even more interesting and/or confusing. While no other prospect than the five listed above got a vote at No. 2, the Nos. 7, 8 and 9 players on the TSN list also received notable support as top 3 to 5 picks.
Take Barrie Colts defenceman Brandt Clarke, No. 7 on the TSN list, for example. Five of 10 scouts ranked him in the Top 5, including one No. 3 vote. Clarke is an offensive defenceman with elite hockey sense and skill who is projected to run an NHL power play, although he has a bit of awkward, knock-kneed skating style.
University of Michigan recruit Luke Hughes, who played this season for the U.S. Under-18 program, is No. 8 on our list but he also received multiple Top 5 votes and none lower than No. 9.
Hughes, of course, is the younger brother of New Jersey centre Jack Hughes and Vancouver Canuck defenceman Quinn Hughes. He’s also, at 6-foot-2, the biggest of the Hughes boys and scouts see him a potential offensive defenceman who has the size and range to play a solid two-way game.
University of Michigan skilled freshman forward Kent Johnson, No. 9 on the TSN list, also got multiple Top 5 votes and none outside of the Top 10. The Canadian from British Columbia is widely hailed as having the purest skill level or best hands in the entire draft, with a penchant for scoring and creating highlight-reel goals.
If there’s virtually no separation on our list between Beniers, Edvinsson, Eklund, McTavish and Guenther, any one of Clarke, Hughes or Johnson could break into the Top 5 and supplant any of the top five prospects behind Power. It’s that tight.”

Ok, I get it, you think goalies shouldn't be drafted in the first or second round.
If the idea is to tank for 3 years, waiting for AM, picking a goalie now should be good timing though. So I can understand you fear it will happen. As this new GM actually is rumoured to know what he is doing.
Sorry for another stupid rant then.

Button analysis ( take it with a grain of salt ) comparable to Pavel Datsyuk... Maybe trade down to get him ?
And by all accounts the top 2 goalies may be worth a 1st. I will just need a moment.Ok, I get it, you think goalies shouldn't be drafted in the first or second round.
