I’m so excited to watch this kid play. He’s one of the best skaters in this draft and he’s 6’3 200 lbs. He is going to be dominant and still kind of in shock that’s it’s going to be for the sens

Great pick. We're essentially done on D.
Draft forwards for the rest of the 1st and 2nd. We're bound to hit a couple.

No opinion on Jake, but I remember his dad Geoff playing in Hartford and He was a real good player.

That's why we traded for Joshua Brown, thought you'd be all over that...

Isn't he about 26 yrs old, he might not be around in a few yrs, on the other hand Kleven in the 2nd rd could be had as could Grans.

He’s so big and brawny that time does not affect him to the same degree.
His mass bends space time around him, much like a black hole.

Lol, for someone who has roasted Karlsson for his defensive deficiencies, it's hilarious you are advocating for Grans. I wonder what's the difference this time.

No one asked, but my take:
Skates extremely well. Defends well. Moves the puck well. Very high floor, I’d be genuinely surprised if he’s not at least an average top-4 defenseman. Unimpressive offensive abilities.
Very good player, but not worthy of a top-5 pick, especially not in this draft.
Fortunately for you guys, you already have a 1D in Chabot, so playing it safe isn’t bad by any means. And the Sens’ top-4 could be something scary in a few years:
Chabot-JBD
Sanderson-Brannstrom

Never played it safe, the guys who actually know what they are doing disagree with your assessment of Sanderson, very much so

Much better. JBD’s upside is a solid 4. Sanderson projects to be a 1.
I was Raymond as well. But he went 4. Nothing wrong with Sanderson at all. Top D in the draft has to count.
As others state, sets the D up nicely moving ahead. Still interested in a guy like Barron. And more forwards please.

I had Sanderson on a preferred short list with Raymond, Drysdale, and Perfetti. Some will say he’s not the sexiest pick, But a 6’2-3 200+ lb D man who can skate like the wind and is a shutdown specialist, with some offensive pop too...that’s pretty sexy. He doesn’t have to put up numbers like Chabot. He just has to suffocate Matthews, Marner, McDavid, Draisaitl and the like, while freeing up Brannstrom to do his thing on the right side. A scout said that if he could choose one player from this year’s draft to shadow and silence McHalloffame, it would be the Sandman.
