I think assuming were drafting outside top 5.... my top 2 are Jirick and Nemec, more based on org needs tho. Not so much BPA
Another potential top line center like Geekie would be pretty awesome also.

I don’t mind a center also because I think ultimately either of zegras and mctavish could go winger if we needed. But I expect geekie to go top 5 personallyAnother potential top line center like Geekie would be pretty awesome also.
After the falling stock in Lambert/Savoie/Miroshnichenko i could see Jiricek being #2 overall in the draft.I've been on his band wagon since before the WJC. I can easily see him being the best player in this draft.
Chelsey, Howard, Gauthier, Salomonsson, Luneau, Ohgren would be my first round pick targets (assuming we pick 16 + )
Thats what im afraid of regarding Jiricek... he will likely play himself into top 5 .. if he isnt alreadyAfter the falling stock in Lambert/Savoie/Miroshnichenko i could see Jiricek being #2 overall in the draft.
I think he'll have a late riser status like McTavish and jump into the top3. He's meaner than McTavish, bigger, faster and has as deadly of a shot.

Miro drops to #12 on this site. I would pick him at #12 if Jiricek is off the board.
Salmonsson sounds like a solid pick.Chelsey, Howard, Gauthier, Salomonsson, Luneau, Ohgren would be my first round pick targets (assuming we pick 16 + )

I liked kasper in the WJC, would be a good pick with a late firstMarco Kasper, not only Austrian fellow he also is out of my beloved KAC (like Thimo Nickl btw). Outside of this, there are some great players. I really like Nazar, Lambert and Perevalov.
Yeah. I could see us possibly picking in the top 10, but top 5 seems unlikely. Lots of suckage in the east this season, plus Arizona and Seattle.Thats what im afraid of regarding Jiricek... he will likely play himself into top 5 .. if he isnt already
I have a bad feeling about Lambert. I haven't seen an undrafted player in Finland switching teams like this before. Not that I've paid too much attention... I just feel like whenever he feels like he isn't given what he wants he'll come back to you with a trade request. Or his dad/agent will.
For his sake I hope he gets an actual agent who can shut his dad up if neededYeah, I would like to know how much his dad has affected the situation.
There are a lot of defensemen outside the top 32 of TSN's rankings that are really interesting to me.
Lian Bichsel
Elias Salomonsson
Salomonsson is the prototypical Ducks pick to me. Good sized, smooth skating, 2-way Swedish defensemen.
Lian Bichsel is who I want. 17 year old playing 19 minutes a game in the SHL in his first year outside Switzerland. 6'5 215 lbs and skates really well. I have seen him compared to Seider in his draft year multiple times.
It's hard to find footage but here is a video.
We need a big shot from the blue line.
That describes David Jiricek.We need defensemen who can defense, win pucks in the corner, skate, and have some kind of offense. That way, the player will be more valuable b/c he would be mainstay at ES than just a PP guy.
