On 31T today, Marek says Ottawa is between Sanderson/Quinn/Askarov at #5.

Elliotte says Askarov is in play for NJD at 7 as well.

I don't want Ottawa to reach for Quinn at 5...............because I want the Devil's to reach for him at 7

Askarov going earlier could change the forward landscape a bit. It also could impact teams that had no chance on him, such as Chicago. They're not moving from 17 to 5 or 7, and suddenly the option to leapfrog a few spots is off the table. Do they look to trade down in that scenario?

Does this mean they’re not looking at Drysdale? I imagine he’d be picked before Sanderson, no?

hopefully they love georgiev

both guys are ranked pretty similar but I would have expected the sens to be after drysdale first cause Chabot is a lefty and they could be a future pair.

Drysdale is an interesting spot. There are some people who think Sanderson is better, and some who think Guhle has the potential to be more dynamic with time.

He's steady and to some extent that could hurt him if teams opt for sexier options.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Everyone is mocking Stützle/Byfield at 3 and Raymond at 5 to Ottawa, but it would make more sense for them to target a Sanderson/Drysdale or even Askarov with that 2nd pick. They have a pretty good prospect core of forwards but lack everywhere else especially in net

 

[eco's bones]

The Scouching guy talked up three guys he liked in the 6th and 7th--Benjamin Baumgartner, Yegor Suchkov and Pavel Tyutnev. I think Steve Kourianos was high on Tyutnev too.

I’ve read that Ottawa has a lot of young right defensemen coming (Zub, Thomson, Brannstrom) which may factor into them favoring a left shot (Sanderson)

We have to find a way to move up. We could get such a steal at 8-10.

brannstrom is left handed

Oops. He’s listed on Cap Friendly as righty.

Some breaking news on Justin Barron

Justin Barron Out Indefinitely – Halifax Mooseheads

This may involve some type of stent being placed to address Barron’s blood clot situation.

I’m not sure how it will affect his draft position.

Apparently, this is a shoulder issue he is having addressed; a previously scheduled followup from last year's blood clot issue.

Had a feeling Sanderson/Askarov at 5 was a possibility

Quinn though? Holy shit, that’s a reach.

I feel like the people who like Quinn REALLY like Quinn.

Hopefully Ottawa picks Quinn at 5 and creates a chain reaction so we can move up for Lundell

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Ottawa isn’t going to take Quinn at 5

I think they’ll take Sanderson, he would make a nice top pairing with Chabot

 

[bleedblue94]

I'm always surprised how people think that if a player falls to a certain spot that suddenly means it'll be easier for a team to trade up to try to get a pick to grab that player. If the guy drops into a lap of another team that they don't expect is going to be there then why would that team trade out of the spot? If anything their pick becomes even more valuable and less likely to be traded if a better player is there than what they actually expected would be there.

Also, anyone watching the game tonight see they flashed Mackenzie's cumulative ratings and had byfield at 3?

 

[Leetch3]

quinn at 5 would definitely be a shock...aside from the arguments that they need a dman so taking a forward and a d makes more sense. if they opted for 2 forwards why would you take quinn over rossi/perfetti/raymond

The Black Book really liked Quinn---they see him as a goal scorer with a 200' all situations game. I think you could arguably take him over someone like Raymond like you could arguably take Sanderson over Drysdale. I also don't think it's a big deal if someone takes Quinn early because I don't think he or Lundell are going to get anywhere near us or even at our potential moving up spot at 17.

the dangers of trading down

I just don't know if I see the Rangers trading down, not with their being guys on the board they like.

They might not have their choice of several of them, but the odds of their not being anyone they like is pretty slim.

I think they stick with their usual routine of getting their guy, trading up if they have to, and calling it a day.

If there is overlap from last year's approach, I think the Rangers are more content to get 2 or 3 guys they really like than 4 or 5 guys they like a bit less.

Be it somone we've talked about, or a mystery candidate, I think they're likely to have someone they think highly of - especially in a draft as varied and opinionated as this.

Dude, when @Edge not only italicizes something but underlines it too, ya best take note.

 

[eco's bones]

The Rangers are in a good spot as far as quantity of very good to excellent to elite prospects. There are guys in the 2nd you might want to take a shot at but all the same we've got quantity so if there is a guy that stands out when it comes our turn at 22 we should just take him.

 

[Lion Hound]

I think Quinn is top 10 in this years draft. 5 is a tad high, but it’s certainly possible.

Can’t wait for the draft.

Totally bummed that I won’t be road tripping to the Bell center to watch it live. Damn Pandemic! Would have been an amazing experience for any NYR fan.
