Prospect Info: The 2019 Entry NHL Draft Thread - Part II

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Yeah I fail to see anything out of line with that list of Goalies. Players bust at a high rate as well.

How soon we all forget Marko Dano and his non-bust contributions as a 1st rounder.

Two of those are still developing and a number in that list had good careers. Campbell is turning into a really good backup. Goalies are no more risky than a skater... it is just if a goalie stumble, he is a backup or not in the league. A late 1st skater might get a couple years as a 3rd/4th liner or bottom pairing extra D sort.

AVs with their selection is likely Top 10.

Sakic drafts the BPA. So the selection in this range would be Turcotte, Lavoie, Krebs, Suzuki, Byram or Broberg. I believe they're better choices as Knight is ranked 20th. Maybe a trade or move the 2nd/3rds for another 1st round. This draft is strong with Goalies with other choices in the later rounds.

I'm not pounding the table for Knight there... I'm saying that the whole idea that goalies bust more than skaters is really a myth. It is more along the lines that if they do bust, it is more apparent.

IMO if the Avs pick is 5-8 stay and draft the left overs of that tier. If the pick is 9-11, I'd probably trade down ~4 spots for an extra 2nd or two then select Knight. At 13-16 I'd probably select Knight. I'm higher on Suzuki than some, but I personally think he has WAY more risk than Knight. Suzuki has legit top 6 talent and plays a smart game, but is softer than a baby's crap after a tequila binge.

Trading down a few spots will likely add a 3rd than 2nd.

I guess it'll depend on the BPA, but agree Knight over Suzuki would be my choice as well.

Very good chance we have the best prospect pool in hockey once the draft is done

And that’s before we’ll have even added Lafreniere!

Barrie to the Oilers for an unprotected 1st in 2020... great idea!

Right? We could be the first team to ever hold the first & second overall picks in consecutive drafts!

We'd be a sure bet for the Cup in 2026! Unless they disappoint, then 2031 here we come!

Yeah and it will last all of about one year since every single high quality player will graduate lol.

Imagine all the trades we could make with all those good players we’d get! @lonelybadger might explode.

Just have to make sure we don't draft too much talent unless it's 6'3"...

If Knight is their guy then draft him. No reason to risk losing him for a draft pick that will more than likely never make it to the NHL.
