Prospect Info: The 2021 NHL Entry Draft Thread

[SM]

Corson Ceulemans or Cole Sillinger stand out to me at this range. Neither would help out for a few years at minimum, but would at least replenish some high quality in our prospect pool.

Or, what conversations do we get ourselves into with 18OA, Copp, and one of Samberg/Heinola? And before someone pops in, no I don’t think Jones is a realistic target for Chevy.

I think 18 and Copp gets a conversation with Minnesota about Dumba or maybe even Lindholm from Anaheim (UFA in 2022).

18, Copp and Samberg/Heinola would be for big-game hunting, more in the Parayko level, I would think.

I also think the Jets might try to use cap space to go after a UFA. I doubt Hamilton would be an option, but I could see the Jets take a look at Oleksiak.

Honestly, given the injury concerns with Parayko this year and also being UFA come 2022, it might cost even less. Assuming he’s back to his regular self I would be very excited to see d pairings like this:

Morrissey-Parayko
Oleksiak-Pionk
Stanley-DeMelo

 

[snowkiddin]

I’d do Copp and 18 for Dumba in a heartbeat. Minny probably can go 4 and 4 and protect Dumba, but if not, he’ll be exposed because Brodin, Suter, and Spurgeon all have NMCs

Jets move up 1 spot from 19th to 18th with Montreal dropping from 16 to 29th.

Carlos Lambert @ 18th ( winnipeg Ice) ...... keeping him in junior for next 2 years & easy to watch his progress on Winnipeg Ice,!

I assume you mean Carson Lambos?

 

[Joe Hallenback]

18th not sure who to take. I mean we really need some RW depth. But if Lambos or Cuelmans are they that would be fantastic.

Kind of like Coronato or Stankoven as well

 

[Huffer]

I've looked at half a dozen "rankings" and it's near impossible to even get an idea who might be there at 18. Huge variances.

Yeah this year is gonna be a weird one and no doubt we see some guys go high that no one had anywhere near that position. Will be interesting to see if the Jets keep this pick or move down or deal it for something or to protect someone. You have to think that once the expansion draft settle there will be a lot of movement.

I would like to see them move down and acquire some draft picks. Detroit/New Jersey/CBus/Wild all have some draft capital to move

 

[Whileee]

Don't the Jets have the #17 pick this year, after being eliminated by the Habs?

I tend to agree.

Move down and take a RW like Stankoven or Bourgault or Coronato, or maybe a RD like Morrow, and add another 2nd rounder.

 

[Gil Fisher]

Wonder if Helenius could sneak to our 2nd rounder. Liked his game in December.

 

[Do or Die]

Teams with sharp scouting are really going be able to grab some deals, here....

 

[Whileee]

Anyone think the Jets might decide to go for one of the goalies? Wallstedt or Cossa?

Hellebuyck has 3 years on his contract after this season. Nabbing a future #1 goalie would definitely be a "draft and develop" move. But the Jets have generally just loaded up with some late picks on goalies, hoping to strike it rich.

I like that approach best.

Anyone want to summarize the past several years of 1st round goalies and how that has worked out? I'm assuming it hasn't worked out great for those teams.

I think it's just a technicality. The League has decided for posterity that the player will be the 18th selection of the draft, but only 16 players will have been taken before him.

Is this one of the NHL's anti-analytics things? It makes no sense in any practical way.

I think they have done it this way before. Technically whatever pick the Coyotes have will be that number and then the draft keeps going. So we technically have the 18th pick but it will be the 17th actual player selected.

Jets are in 18th slot but will draft 17th due to the Arizona forfeit.

Thanks for the clarification!

Knight in 2019 by Florida, looking decent now.
Oettinger in 2017 to Dallas, has looked good in AHL probably gets a shot at NHL soon.
Samsonov in 2015 to Washington, looking like a pretty solid pick right now minus the gaffe.
Vasi in 2012 to Tampa, arguably the best goalie in the league currently.
Campbell in 2010 to Dallas, didnt work out in Dallas or LA but seems to have found a spot in TO.

Are some recents.

I was wondering the same thing. This might be a good draft to grab a goalie for the future.

Cossa looks really interesting. Though how much of that is team play vs player ability?

 

[SM]

1st round goalies scare me. Lots of pressure on them to succeed early, and as we all know, goalies are voodoo.
