This is a situation where I'm very comfortable taking Corson Ceulemans and not looking back.

 

[Dynamite Time]

Olausson looks to possibly be a solid two-way fwd with size and can play either wing as guys like Pavs, Rads, etc. are on the out.

 

[Kcb12345]

Gimme Francesco Pinelli

 

[BrettHullsToe]

Seems like the Stars have a higher success rate with Finns than any other country, so I'mma pick one 'o them.

 

[Ghost of Kyiv]

Kind of a toss up at this point, but I voted Ceulemans so Satan will approve of me.

Carson Lambos for me here. Hopefully one of the goalies goes in the actual draft pushing a forward to us that has already been selected.

The poll is “Who will the Stars pick?”

not “Who should the Stars pick?”

 

[David Castillo]

No Chibrikov? TF?

 

[starsfan86]

Chibrikov.

 

[BfantZ]

Chibrikov

 

[Sports2]

A Russian? Is Nill ready to get hurt again?

 

[catters078]

Id be stunned if Wallstedt is available at 14 on draft day. Looks an elite goalie prospect, in the Knight/askarov level.

Hes a top 5 player in the draft. Maybe top 3.

On draft day if wallstedt is available at 14 and none of the top 10-12 skaters have slid, id be open to trading the pick to a team like Detroit who im sure would love to trade up with their other 1st rounder to get him, and gather some more picks we need.

So i voted Wallstedt, but with the intention of it being a trade down.

Could definitely see us trading down .

Can’t not draft a good russian because Nichushkin didn’t pan out .

not “Who should the Stars pick?”

Fair enough.

 

[QJL]

As an observer, I imagine other team boards are licking their lips that Nikita Chibrikov wasn’t even a poll option. Think he’d be a fantastic fit for the Stars and a certain top 5 option available at this spot.

Lambos over Ceulemans for me and it's not particularly close

 

[57special]

Kinda susprised that DAL seems to be going for a Dman. They are already are kind of loaded in that department.

That's my only issue with Ceulemans. If he wasn't right handed, would they even be looking his way? That's not a knock on Ceulemans. Just that Lambos has higher upside.

If we sign Oleksiak the top four is secured, and we have Harley coming. Outside of that there is nothing in the pipeline.

Wouldn't be anything wrong with getting another defender who is ready in 2-4 years post draft.

Thanks. I thought it was weird only because Chibrikov is certified top 25 material whereas I could see someone like Rosen not making the cut.

Interesting to see Raty with so many votes. Could be this season's Liljegren: hindered by premature lists that set up high or false expectations. Could also be this season's Tomasino. Raty's a weird one. Honestly I wouldn't complain this high in the draft. Unless they pick Helenius, it'd be hard to go wrong.

Harley looked very good this year in the AHL. He looks NHL ready to me, assuming that he has a good summer of training.

By the time this draft pick is ready to play a meaningful role, Lindell's contract will be running out.

I don't really care about drafting forward vs d. Get me the guy with the most skill at whatever position he plays. If there's a tie, take the center because it is the most important position after goalie and is always a weak spot for this team.
