a third round pick should be worth a player of the ilk of nate schmidtwe also still have their 3rd round pick in 2021 too...maybe they parlay that into another asset
add the removed draft picks and the fiasco of the mitchell miller pick. probably 95% of the yotes fans would trade their situation for ottawa's. just imagine: a 95% yes to melnyk as the owner.I just can't get over the fact that they're a cap team with that roster. Good god.
It's hard to draft legit top line players but if he can atleast be a 2nd line player (45-65 points) than it's a good pick. Not sure what position he will stick at. Would be nice if we have him as a RW.
Isnt C his natural position? In a couple years could see a top 9 of:Id honestly prefer if Mercer keeps on playing RW primarily and C if really needed. Having a full top 6 with actual top 6 players playing their positions would be a lot more beneficial to me.
Isnt C his natural position? In a couple years could see a top 9 of:
Bratt- Hischier- Holtz
Foote- Hughes- Palmieri/ Gusev
Koukkanen- Mercer- Bastian
That's pretty damn good. That 3rd line has shutdown potential.
Well good, you'd want a guy who is primarily a winger being able to play the wing.He is primarily a winger but can play the wing.
I am hoping Mercer becomes the middle 6 center replacement for Zajac that we hoped Zacha or McLeod could be but aren't shaping up to be.
Zacha is a blown pick, but he is currently much better than
Lias Andersson (7 OA 2017)
Vitali Kravtsov (8 OA 2018)
Kaapo Kakko (2 OA 2019)
So maybe we can over it some time.
I don’t want to be that guy but I will. Zacha was suppose to be 1c not 2c. Mikey was suppose to be 2c-3c
Really not fair to compare guys 3 and 4 years younger than him. I never thought either Zacha or Andersson would be anything that good.

And now they don't have to be...I don’t want to be that guy but I will. Zacha was suppose to be 1c not 2c. Mikey was suppose to be 2c-3c

Kravtsov turns 21 in 3 weeks. He's obviously much younger than Zacha, but he's old enough that <0.5 ppg in the KHL should be alarming. Agree with Kakko but I included him to illustrate that the Rangers have 3 sequential early 1st round picks that have not performed well yet.
