You keep those in the nightstand drawer.Yeah, a bunch of small overagers, maybe. Mark my words - all the eligible big boys will be taken this year, and the Avs' cubbard will remain bare of Gustav Olhaver types

How come Beniers and Raty fell so far? Both names were previously mentioned as possible top picks.
They number their final lists so it’s intended to be a ranking. They are usually wildly off the mark but that’s not their intent.Remember the NHLCSS lists are more about prospects to look for than actual list of the best of the best prospects in order. That's how I always interpreted it.
Beniers isn’t falling, he’s in the top 5 convo. He didn’t get the u18 recency bias bump but he’s currently at the World Championships instead. Raty might not even be a first rounder at this point however.How come Beniers and Raty fell so far? Both names were previously mentioned as possible top picks.
Good player, has really good skill-set even though he hasn't necessarily lived up to the hype as a top 5 WHL pick. With that said though, he doesn't fit the Avs mould; he's a small body with bad skating. I do think he has some Bobby Brink in him and could follow a similar path where they're on the smaller side, can't really move around all that well yet still has loads of talent to overcome those problems. I am personally not a fan of those players, but with a new head scout in charge, especially a Western scout he will definitely be on the radar even though Klippenstein prefers bulldogs. I would expect players like Ridly Greig to be high on Avs lists than with Hepple.Question to Seph or Henchman or people watching the WHL.
If he is available, would you go for Logan Stankoven?

Exactly. From what I'm reading here and there a lot of experts/scouts are projecting Beniers as a top tier 2C. I said the other day that there's no prospect who realistically projects as a 1C in that draft and people got mad at me...but that seems to be the case.Raty didn't have a good season at all and people are wondering if he peaked early. Beniers is a question of how much offense is really there? If you think he's a 65+ guy, you have him top 5 if not top 3. Less than that, you slide him down as teams don't like to draft 2nd line guys that high.
bad skating.
I can Mr. Mike for you, but I haven't watched like 70% of the players because they were playing in obscure leagues with majority not being able to be viewed or streamed. If I was going to a quick top 10-ish off the top of my head my list would be...Thanks for the quick answer an i hope you will do you list again this year.

Based on what?have a feeling we might trade our first this year
Might as well go for 31st instead since it’s that close anywayIs the draft order the same as last year, where the final 4 teams draft 29-32, and the other 12 playoff teams draft from 17-28 based on regular season standings? If so it's already confirmed that Avs will pick 28th as the highest, but later if they make the next round.
If Cossa is still available in the mid-20's I hope Sakic trades up for him, just like Dallas did to secure Oettinger.Might as well go for 31st instead since it’s that close anyway
Based on what?
And for what would you trade the 1st?
