Prospect Info: The 2021 Entry NHL Draft Thread

[Pokecheque]

Rumor has it that if Columbus takes Eklund, Edmonton is looking to trade for him. More to come……

Connor McDavid will look great in a Jackets uniform.

 

[SaltySkywalker]

Might as well go for 31st instead since it’s that close anyway

Yeah but would TB really want to trade up 3 spots?

It's pretty bad at the top this year as far as rooting interest goes. I don't really care about any of these teams and then there's a few I'd prefer not getting the top pick. I think I might go with Seattle to win it because I can see myself liking that team and I know it'll piss a lot of people off if the expansion team gets rewarded like that. Might get some good conspiracy theories going.

I'm just glad there's no teams in the (usual) Central division higher than 12th. But knowing how lotteries usually go we'll probably see Dallas get No.1 overall with Chicago getting No.2.

Would also prefer if teams like LA and Vancouver don't get top picks as they have the potential to become very good in a couple of years. Ideally the eastern teams clean up.

As long as the Stars and Yotes don’t move up I’m happy.

Edit: Forgot Chicago too. If the hockey gods could keep them where they’re at, it would be much appreciated.

 

[Chiarelli]

what are the moving up rules does it max at 10 spots

The limits don't get added until next year.

Rangers:

I kinda hope the Red Wings win it... the league is better with them being good, and it would be really interesting to see Yzerman operate with the #1 pick. My second choice would be Columbus then Anaheim.

 

[BaconNater]

I hope the Rangers win since that franchise has had some terrible luck lately, they deserve some good fortune

Wonder if NJ will pick another Hughes if they have the chance.

 

[Chiarelli]

Detroit Seattle or Columbus I would like to see

They'd be smart too... they need a defensemen with some offensive pop. I'm not sure he has 60+ in his game, but 45+ looks promising and in this draft that is near the top plus his weaknesses aren't enough of a red flag... unlike Clarke (skating) or Edvinsson (IQ). Too early for Ceulemans. Assuming they don't get #1 and get the luxury of just selecting Power.

Assuming you're kidding?

Assuming you're kidding?

Completely haha

That fanbase still whines about unfairness as they saw Panarin, Fox, Kakko and Laf just fall into them for free

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

Love seeing the reaction of these GM’s dreams being crushed.

 

[SaltySkywalker]

Chicago is going to win this, I’ve just got a feeling.

What a feeling!

Nil and Fitzgerald had the best reactions so far.

 

[Avsboy]

Adams face is filled with hope after winning. What hope?

 

[Balthazar]

Buffalo is getting Power and Seattle the 2nd pick.

 

[AvsFanInMichigan]

Kinda wanted to see Seattle win it

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Seattle moved up...

 

[AvsFanInMichigan]

Matthew Beniers to Seattle

 

[Balthazar]

Kinda wanted to see Seattle win it

Power and Dahlin should be good on the blue line...one day....perhaps.
