Love it

Goyette a bit high so is Geekie

Goyette a bit high so is Geekie

Maybe but not unrealistic at all

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

Goyette a bit high so is Geekie

Agreed. But, centers and RD usually get a ton on interest on draft day.

 

[General Fanager]

Just my opinion but once the 2 main centers are gone, I see The Habs taking Nemec over Slaf

 

[waitin425]

Goyette, Firkus and Geekie far too high.

If Miro is available for Habs, I sure hope they pick him. Where is Luneau?

 

[My Cozen Dylan]

I don't think Salomonsson is a first rounder at this point. I'd rather roll the dice on Luneau.

I like the Savoie and Mesar picks though.

Ottawa is clearly trying to build a big tough team. The smallest guys on our team Mete and Ennis are both not being re-signed. So that leaves the smallest guy as Erik Brannstrom at 5'10. Nobody else is under 6'0.
If anything we will reach for a big player, like we did for Boucher and Brown.
Since 2018 we have drafted a total of 2 players under 6 feet tall, Oliver Johansson at 5'11 in the 3rd round of 2021 and and Angus Crookshank at 5'10 in the 5th round of 2018.

I like Goyette, I think he goes higher than we expect but I don't think Ottawa is that team. We don't take this kind of risk. If he was 3 inches taller and 20 pounds heavier maybe, but he just doesn't fit what Ottawa is so clearly building.

If this is how the draft was to go down I could see Ottawa drafting Yurov if they have a commitment from him to come to NA (they have stayed away from drafting Russians out of Russia), or Cutter Gauthier (USANTDP has been a favorite of Doirion, and at 6'2 190 with a nose for scoring goals, I think our staff would like the idea of Gauthier next to Stutzle.)

 

[PacificOceanPotion]

This is dream

 

[Xirik]

Don't see the Devils going for Kemell as we already have Holtz who basically is the same type of prospect.

If the draft went down like that I would think the Devils would go with Gauthier as he's the Highly ranked power forward of the draft class and having him with Hughes or Hischier would be a dream.

Seattle taking Geekie at 5 with Kemell, Savoie and Jiricek still available would be a Seattle thing to do.

Seattle taking Geekie at 5 with Kemell, Savoie and Jiricek still available would be a Seattle thing to do.
