Pretty much knocked that out of the park and would be thrilled on Draft day, which means it will never happen.

Also Bob's ranks here. Had some lottery luck and got 1st
1- Owen Power
28- Sebastian Cossa
36- Samu Tuomaala
47- Samu Salminen
52- Jack Peart
68- Samuel Helenius
90- Shai Buium
100- Connor Lockhart
126- Lucas Forsell

I like Cossa also, but I think he goes 8-12 range (and ahead of Wallstedt) This draft is going to make people pull out their hair. Guys are going to get selected way off the mock draft board. I would not be one bit surprised if Yzerman takes a kid with his 1st pick that was projected to go late in the draft (i.e., Cossa)

I also like Beniers and think he goes top 3. I have a sneaky suspicion Yzerman isn't taking a dman with his first pick... even if he wins the lottery.

Solid haul there. I like Svozil a lot, wouldn't even mind if DET took him with Washington's 1st rounder. He was great in the WJC last year. I wonder where Heimosalmi is gonna go now since I'm pretty sure that he was just named best defenceman in the U18s...

Did my first sim. Single spin on the draft lottery gave me 1st overall. I traded the middle of our seconds (40? Or something like that?) and 3 late round picks for 35th so I could draft Samu Salminen. Kind of winged the later round picks without much knowledge.

Curious how we got 5th overall, When the best we can do is either 1st overall, 2nd overall or 6th overall, 7th overall or 8th overall this is according to Tankathon which is pretty reliable..

Did a quick 3 rounder this morning. Somehow ended up with the 6th pick.

6. Dylan Guenther, LW
28. Xavier Bourgault, C

Was looking to go defense at one of these picks but couldn't pass on the best players availabe.

36. Francesco Pinelli, C

Again, couldn't pass on this talented player at #36 to take a lower rated defenseman.

47. Vladislav Lukashevich, LHD
52. Logan Mailloux, RHD

Glad I let the draft come to me. Both these guys I like a lot and I would have taken Luka at #36 anyway

68. Joshua Roy, C
90. Oliver Kapanen, C

Two more talented offensive players at a much lower spot than I thought they would be available.

I think that was a pretty good draft. Didn't get a goalie but was looking for best value over need. Would probably take a goalie later, one of the Russians most likely.

I like this draft quite a bit. Love the first three and Evan Nause is one of my favorites. Also, like Del Mastro later. Nice job.

Honestly, I got a feeling that Dach might go higher. I might take him at 36 and hope Kapanen is still there at 47. Maybe take Heimosalmi at 52 if still there.

Just did one using my most recent draft list, except I forgot that where I had Stankoven ranked :laugh:.

(5) Matthew Berniers , C
(28) Fedor Svechkov, C
(36) William Stromgren, LW
(47) Logan Stankoven, C
(52) Anton Olsson, D
(68) Olen Zellweger, D
(90) Brent Johnson, D
(100) Jacob Guevin, D
(126) Ethan Cardwell, C
(131) Sean Tschigerl, LW
(132) Kirill Gerasimyuk, G
(164) Marcus Almquist, C

I would be so happy to have a draft like this. There's a good mix of everything in there and each player has a decent level of upside. I don't think Fedor is there at 28, but if he is hopefully we snag him.

We can’t pick at 5. It’s either 1-2, or 6-9.

(6) Kent Johnson, C - Hopefully a top line player at C.
(28) Zachary L'Heureux, C - Hopefully a hard-nosed middle six guy, maybe at C.
(36) Anton Olsson, LD - Hopefully middle pairing upside.
(47) Oliver Kapanen, C - Rghthanded speedy center with a two-way game.
(52) Colton Dach, LW - Middle six powerforward could be a C.
(68) Josh Doan, C - Middle six powerfoward type
(90) Aleksi Heimosalmi, RD - Tried to draft him earlier than I need to be more realistic. Still wasn't realistic enough.
(100) Alexei Kolosov, G - don't know
(126) Talyn Boyko, G - Huge goalie
(131) Martin Rysavy, LW - Another powerforward type with some upside.
(132) Liam Dower-Nilsson, C - Maybe a playmaking C
