GARRIOCH: The Ottawa Senators expect they'll get some high-end talent at top of draft | Ottawa Sun

“(Chief scout) Trent Mann and I are always Ottawa and our scouts are always assigned different teams,” Dorion said. “We talk potential trades and (the scouts) finally realize it’s pretty tough to make hockey trades on draft day. It’s been a very productive experience for us.”

Ok, so imagine adding a prime time Kane and Marner to what we currently have

 

[Daffy]

Can't get over how many grammatical errors and spelling mistakes Garrioch always has in his articles lol

Id appreciate if Dorion would audit his draft and trade history and critically accept what has worked and what hasnt. Then stick to what he is good at.

Geez, a 6'1 200+ pds Patrick Kane clone sounds pretty optimistic...

Hey, if that's how he turns out i won't complain (unless LA drafts him I guess...)

Isn't that the editors fault?

Pretty much papers do not have editing anymore. Shit is typed up and if you are lucky some student proofreads it before you hit publish.

 

[Daffy]

Both. When it becomes a common theme in every article, you'd think the writer would take a little more pride in his work. So while it may be the editor's fault, it reflects poorly on the writer.

But it was in German when talking about Stutzle. Makes sense no? Lol

“He’s very close to being able to play in the NHL and contributeümuch like (Alexis) Lafrenière from the get-go. The Senators are looking for this kind of top-end skill and Tim Stützle provides it.”

I had a good laugh at this lol

I thought the comment about the scouts finally realizing how difficult it is to make trades on draft day was interesting. It sounds like Dorion want to make one. My fingers are crossed with trepidation.

Would Stutzle/Byfield/Raymond/Sanderson/Drysdale play in Belleville next season?

Possible/No/Possible but not likely/No/No

 

[Taluss]

Possible/No/Possible but not likely/No/No

Why would this be? Is it a team decision or player decision? Or do they have a contract to continue to play out with their other team? I have no clue about this stuff and what determines some players to go straight into the NHL (besides just skill) , go to the AHL or stay with their other team

Byfield, Drysdale and Sanderson aren’t allowed to play in the AHL, Raymond is signed in Sweden and has to stay there, Stutzle can play AHL, but is more likely to play in the NHL or DEL.

Byfield and Drysdale can’t play in the AHL next season either.

 

[Taluss]

Interesting, so Byfield, Drysdale, and Sanderson would just stick with their current team until they are NHL ready?

Sanderson loses his NCAA eligibility if he signs a pro contract, he’ll play at least this season in ND.

Byfield and Drysdale aren’t allowed to play in the AHL until they are 20. They will either be back in Erie/Sudbury or in the NHL

Awesome, thanks for your time.

Would Stutzle/Byfield/Raymond/Sanderson/Drysdale play in Belleville next season?

Stutzle is possible because he said he would play in the AHL if that's what the team who drafts him wants.

Raymond could if he wanted but Swedes almost always stay in Sweden for a year or two after getting drafted so I would expect the same from him.

Sanderson won't as he is committed to play NCAA hockey at University of North Dakota. However given the COVID situation I guess it's possible that he elects to forgo UND and go straight to the AHL depending on how things play out (like if the NCAA season was cut short but the AHL was continuing).

Byfield & Drysdale, being CHLers, cannot play in the AHL until they are 20 due to the AHL/CHL agreement.

 

[SensFactor]

So everyone feeling LA is taking Byfield over Stutzle?

 

[Qward]

I feel which ever pick I am preferring is the one that they will choose.
