Interesting thing about Conz, he was eligible to be drafted in 2009 and 2010 and nobody drafted him. Can't he just be signed by anyone now?

 

[Belenos]

I say:
- Bärtschi a late 1st round 1 or a 2nd round.
- Hoffman 3rd round
-Pestoni and Conz maybe in a late round, but i think they are too small to get drafted.

 

[Jussi]

None.

 

[Eagle Eye Cherry]

None.

Cmon, gimme a break, none?!

 

[dmacgreg37]

If Conz wasn't picked after last year it isn't going to happen now, barring a 50+ shot domination against Canada and the USA on the road to a medal.

 

[Jussi]

Cmon, gimme a break, none?!

None of them impressed me against Finland.

If you think that Bartshi won't get drafted then someone had too much Koskenkorva Viina on New Years.

Bärtschi is a lock, Hofmann is also quite probable. I'm unsure on Pestoni and Conz, maybe a late round. I'd use a late pick for Conz.

Perhaps Schlumpf and/or Truttmann could also be taken in a late round.

 

[koh19]

-Bärtschi for sure, 1st round.
-Hoffman, I expect him to be picked in a late round
-Pestoni, 3/4th round perhaps
-Conz, late pick, somebody's gotta take a gamble on this kid.

 

[BHD]

I'd be shocked if nobody took a chance on Conz. "Game stealer"

I understand you but Finland played very well and The Swiss had a day off !

they are worth more than what they showed against the Fins some days ago.

I'm sorry but at HFBoards there's no such things as "day off". A team/players is/are only good the first/last/only time you see it/them.

 

[MBTendy]

Bartschi for sure in the first round
Hoffman and Pestoni should be taking
Conz could get drafted late round. He has been having a great season in the NLA and if he could have another solid game Sunday then I think a team would take him.
Schlumpf also looked good

Bartschi is getting drafted in the first round of the draft, whether you think so or not.

 

[torero]

Conz, Hofmann, Pestoni, Bartschi

maybe Shappi or Trutman or Schlumpf ?

Isn't Bartschi expected to be a first round pick ?

[smitty10]

Bartschi and Hofmann will be drafted. I doubt anyone takes a flyer on Conz, but it could happen in the 6th or 7th. Schlumpf could also go in the 6th or 7th.

 

[CamDegs13]

Conz is the automatic 1st overall pick in NHL 11...

 

[Eagle Eye Cherry]

I say this will be the year where the most Swiss players will get drafted. And also, the first time I think that a Swiss player will get drafted in the 1st round in back to back draft years.

 

[Hackett]

Conz hasn;t been as dominant this world jr as he was last year, although he showed some of that form last night against the americans.

I'm a bit suprised to hear nobody used a late pick to get him, but he is a bit on the small side in an era where the goalies just keep getting bigger.

The TSN guys also made a point about the lack success that previously hyped swiss goalies have had in the nhl. For every Jonas Hiller, there has also been a David Aebischer, and Martin Gerber who didn't last very long in the nhl.

 

[Tritsche]

I say:

Bärtschi late 1st round
Hofmann 6th round
Schlumpf 7th round

Pestoni, Conz, Truttman or Schäppi will not be in the plans of the 30 nhl clubs...
