Personally will be livid if the Coyotes draft Makar despite Glass dropping into their laps at 7. Also don't like Robertson at 23.

 

[Sundinisagod]

Don't love Brannstrom at 17, but wouldn't be shocked either.

 

[Chan790]

Any of Necas, Vesalainen, Tolvanen, Suzuki, or Thomas would be preferable to Lias Andersson. The Canes really need a top-line sparkplug, even if they have to draft boom-or-bust guys...Andersson is quite the opposite: high-floor/low-ceiling.

He's pretty much a sure thing to be a middle-6 F in the NHL. The Canes have a lot of mid-6 guys as is.

 

[1Boliever]

Don't see the Flames passing on Suzuki if he's there.

 

[Magic Mittens]

I'd be fine with Vilardi and P.O. Joseph for Dallas

 

[tony d]

Ottawa's not passing on Oettinger or Ratcliffe if they're both there.

 

[HoseEmDown]

First I've seen of Necas falling to 14, would love if that happened.

 

[Pyrophorus]

Don't love Brannstrom at 17, but wouldn't be shocked either.

Love it myself.

 

[TNT87]

Love Lind to the Pens.

 

[MasksAreForSlaves]

pretty reasonable selections, all. the only one I don't see happening is Joseph. I think thats a little hi for him.
