I didn't see a 2020 entry draft thread, so I'll post this draft article in here.
2020 NHL Entry Draft Top 125: Alexis Lafrenière, Quinton Byfield continue to lead the pack
Another measuring stick is depth at a certain position. The 2019 class was assessed as strong for centers and goaltenders. This year’s group has a solid mix of game-breakers at all three forward positions — meaning a team picking in the late first round can still come away with a prospect that has legitimate point-producing potential. This group can also help teams looking for right-handed defensemen, especially those with high hockey IQ and playmaking abilities.
As the NHL continues to emphasize speed, smarts and creativity, expect the first two rounds of this draft to be loaded with prospects who can meet the requirements of today’s fast-paced game.

Sorokin looks like the super sized version of that dude who does the paintings in those MSG commercials.

That 6th rounder in 2015 on Misha Song (ahead of Nuutivara, Roy and Niku) continues to be a puzzler.
He's a sophomore at Cornell, the best team in the ECAC, and has yet to take the ice. It's such a bizarre situation. If the only goal was to make Wang happy by making NHL history, why not trade for a 7th rounder and pick him up then?

same reason Cody Rosen was drafted. We were a Mickey Mouse organization.
Frederick Andersen was picked 2 spots after Rosen. Lol.

25. Theo Rochette, C, Chicoutimi (QMJHL)
A sound decision-maker in all areas of the ice, Rochette is an aggressive center with a strong desire to make an impact in all three zones. He’s played center off Chicoutimi’s top line for most of the season and has been able to stand out via his playmaking and quick shot-release combination. Like several skilled forwards in the upper tier of this draft class, Rochette is willing to support his defensemen below the circles and will pounce on loose pucks to kickstart the attack.
Looks like the perfect 3C prospect for us, at the right range for where we are picking

The only issue here is he could rise by the time the draft arrives, second we had a shot at three centers last year that were projected to be good NHL prospects and choose a player with a history of injuries, and I believe he is currently recovering from an injury now. The draft is a crap shoot you never know how things work out but McMichael and Beecher were there and the other kids name escapes me right now, I choose the center over a wing especially given our lack of depth at the position. I know I’ll hear draft BPA not position . Time will tell.

Wang FOMO'd hard on Andong Song. I think he genuinely overvalued the kid, perhaps due to bias, but he wasn't going to leave him on the table

Is Sorokin that bored in the KHL he is doodling on his pads?
Get this guy over here, we'll give him something to do!

He let children do it for children's leukemia fund or something to that effect. I think the pads were worn in the all star game, and then auctioned off afterwards in honor for a kid goalie with leukemia.

AHLer.
He's interesting to me because he does seem to fill a role. Team USA either carries him or he's a last cut.
Our prospect pool is so bad that no one can outplay MDC out of a position. We're not doing well, are we?

Ishakhov and UConn replay on msg plus now if anyone needs a hockey fix. He just scored and he looks like he’s filled out a bit.

Like, Your mother is so...
Or
Our prospect pool is so bad....that JHS is still a prospect.
