NHL Entry Draft 2022 NHL Draft Thread - Part 2

[Emerica]

Truly hoping PHI goes Gauthier and Jarmo goes for Kemell. That would leave us with Jiricek.

If Jiricek is gone, then give me Marco Kasper ahead of Savoie and Kemell

 

[Hale The Villain]

Goyette at 46, Casey at 51 and Trikosov at 57 are ranked surprisingly low to me.

Walking away with two of them in the 2nd round would be a coup

 

[DJB]

Cutter, Kaspar or one of the two D are guys we'd likely want to see available at 7.

We've traditionally always stayed away from smaller guys in round 1 dating back to 07 with Murray. I doubt we take any of the sub 5'11 guys unless Cooley falls (unlikely)

 

[Micklebot]

Wasn't that Hutson?

Assen na yo!

Pretty sure it was Kemmel, but maybe I misheard

 

[bert]

Goyette at 46, Casey at 51 and Trikosov at 57 are ranked surprisingly low to me.

Walking away with two of them in the 2nd round would be a coup

If this team gets Jiricek and Goyette that would be wild.

 

[DrEasy]

It seems that there's a drop-off right after the top 6...

It seems that there's a drop-off right after the top 6...

Not at all.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Going by Bob's list without reaching too much... I would go

7. A forward ... (7) Kemell, (8) Lekkerimaki, (9)Savoie, (10) Kasper.
39. A RD (41) Warren, (44) Lamoreux (good forward options here as well with (43) Lund, (45) Goyette)
63. (63) RW/LW Adam Sykora , (67) RW Devin Kaplan, (69) LD Isaiah George
71. (80) C/RW Vinzenz Rohrer, (81) LD Jorian Donovan, (72) C Jordan Gustafson
86. (HM) RW Nick Moldenhauer, (HM) RD Jace Weir

Preference in this list bolded.

I agree with this.
It may not be a huge drop off. But it is none the less a drop off.

 

[Hale The Villain]

It seems that there's a drop-off right after the top 6...

For me there's a drop off after 4 (Slafkovsky, Wright, Cooley and Nemec), and then a group of about 7-8 players (Lekkerimaki, Jiricek, Korchinski, Mintyukov, Nazar, Kasper, Gauthier, Savoie) that are more or less in the same tier.

Definitely don't agree that Jiricek is way above Korchinski or Mintyukov and Gauthier is way above Lekkerimaki, Nazar, Kasper and Savoie.

Would have to put a ton of emphasis on size and physicality for that to be the case IMO, so the Sens staff probably disagrees with me and has a hard top 6 with Jiricek and Gauthier in it.

 

[Sens in Process]

The range for some of the top 10 ranked prospects are quite staggering in Bob's list.

If we keep the pick, it is going to be really interesting who he Sens target. Needless to say, it is fairly probable the Sens will get someone in their top 5.

Cutter Gauthier: Gauthier was as high as No. 3 and as low as No. 10.
David Jiricek: He was ranked as high as No. 5 and as low as No. 12 in our scouting survey.
Joakim Kemell: he ranged from as high as No. 4 to as low as No. 14 in our survey/
Jonathan Lekkerimaki: Our scouting survey ranked him as high as No. 4 and as low as No. 17.
Matt Savoie: He was ranked as high as No. 6 and as low as No. 15 in our survey.
Marco Kasper: His range in our survey was as high as No. 5 and as low as 21.

 

[edguy]

If I was to guess the Sens top 6 list in this draft I'd guess:

1. Wright
2. Slafkovsky
3. Gauthier
4. Jiricek
5. Nemec
6. Kasper

We typically have valued things like size, character, toughness, 200-foot play over pure offensive players. At 5'9-5'10 I don't see them being interested in the likes of Cooley and Savoie, rightfully or wrongfully.

 

[RAFI BOMB]

6'8.25" tall. Probably worth a late round pick if he is available.

It will depend on what the scouts think of him. Drafting a player out of the OJHL with underwhelming stats seems like a pretty big risk. The comments from his head coach/GM were interesting though. I would be pretty impressed if he is only 5 years away from playing in the NHL like his coach/GM suggested.

The comments suggest he is a raw athletic kid with a lot of size, that he has impressive skating for a player his size, and that he has a mean and nasty temperament that hasn't fully been expressed in his play given the league he plays in. He is the type of prospect that will need a ton of development and as a result will require any organization interested in him to have a ton of confidence in their development staff.

I could certainly see Ottawa as a team that would have interest in him and I would just hope that if they consider him that they really do their diligence and identify that there is really an NHL caliber player there. If there is then maybe he is worth a late pick.

 

[Agent Zub]

Is yurov dropping because of the russian situation or did his play drop?

Among all the forwards in this draft i feel like his game would complement Stutzle's the most.

 

[RAFI BOMB]

Kasper is a Sen if they keep their pick, as close to a safe bet as you can get.

Do you think they like him more than Gauthier? He does seem to fit the profile of a Sens pick, I'm just curious how to compare the two and why the Sens might prefer one over the other.

 

[RAFI BOMB]

Looking at McKenzie's rankings, I'm a bit surprised to see Rutger McGroarty and Lian Bichsel ranked so low. If they are expected to go there and that is where they end up going in the draft then I could see the Sens targeting them if they trade their pick and get a late pick in return or they might consider trading up. I would certainly be happy to get them there I just wasn't expecting them to be ranked that low.

In the 2nd round I think the Sens would be interested in drafting at least one of the big physical d men so Noah Warren and Maverick Lamoreux could both be targets.

I could also see the Sens being interested in Ryan Greene or Dylan James with their other 2nd round pick. They might also like Rieger Lorenz if he is available.

 

[RAFI BOMB]

 

[Billy Bridges]

If we keep the pick, it is going to be really interesting who he Sens target. Needless to say, it is fairly probable the Sens will get someone in their top 5.

It's an absolute certainty that Dorion and Mann will say whoever they draft was in their top 5, whether it is true or not.

[Sens of Anarchy]

Firkus at 34 would be close to a steal imo. That kid is pretty dynamic and put up 80 pts in 66 games as a 17 year old. Also put up 6g 6a in 10 g in the playoffs. Led his team in scoring. He is slight but I would trade up for him if he's there. I'd rather combine a 2nd and a 3rd to go after someone star level upside. Caught my eye at the CHL top prospects game. Could be the next Johnny Hockey never know,

 

[aragorn]

Want - Jiricek RD or Gauthier C/LW
Don't Want - Kemmel or Savoie
Settle for - Lekkerimaki RW, Kasper C/LW, Korchinski LD or Yurov C/RW, Geekie C
Should - trade up to draft Tristan Luneau RD if both RDs are gone & draft Noah Warren RD if possible.

 

[Ouroboros]

The picks to make, assuming they keep all of them:

7 - Marco Kasper
39 - Reid Schaefer/Filip Bystedt/Noah Warren/Rieger Lorenz/Fraser Minten
64/72/87 - Jani Nyman/Jorian Donovan/Josh Filmon/Miko Matikka/Filip Nordberg/Devin Kaplan
104 - Kyle Jackson/Samuel Mayer
136 - Joe Arntsen
143 - Tucker Robertson/Stephen Halliday/Jeremy Langlois
151 - Linus Sjodin/Elmeri Laakso
168 - Kasper Larsen/Samuel Savoie/Maddox Fleming
206 - Ryan Hopkins/Ben King/Kyle McDonald/Evan Boucher/Nick Malik/Jared Davidson

 

[SquidNasty]

What are the chances Gauthier or one of the D are still on the board at 7?

I’m going with a solid 37%.

39th OA - Noah Warren RD

No #61?
I personally wouldn't be surprised if Ottawa tries to use their seconds and maybe a third to get into the late first. McGroatry or Luneau would be awesome gets in those spots. Or even if they ensured themselves in getting Warren I wouldn't mind that either.
