E.J McGuier says "as many as eight guys could be taken first".
Exactly. If the bottom three looks like it is now, each team could get the best piece for them.
New Jersey - Courtier
Edmonton - Larsson/Nugent-Hopkins
Islanders - Landeskog/Larsson

Seems that way...with all these players so close (assuming it stays that way), teams will draft by need...doubt the Oilers would take Landeskog, doubt Boston would take another centre, etc.
Which really grinds my gears. The one year my team decides I'm going to draft #1 or 2 overall this happens.
Happened in Basketball too. Raptors won the draft lottery in one of the worst drafts in history and we got stuck with Bargnani.
Wow, Bärtschi at #6?!? That would make him something like 8th overall...
Surprisingly many Swiss players on the European list, they definitely passed Slovakia in Junior Hockey, more and better prospects this year.
That said, I don't think many of the later listed Europeans will get drafted, especially not the overagers...
Good one.Like I said, assuming we get 1st. Hell I can see us playing ourselves outta the lottery.
