Solid mock. As a Jets I’m fine with Zary, but Sanderson, Schneider, Guhle, or Lundell would be good at #10 as well.

At 7 I would think the Devils would pick Rossi or Sanderson if they are available. Holtz would be their 3rd choice.

 

[ViktorBaeArvidsson]

Sanderson eh. I don’t mind Nashville adding another d-man to the system, although I’m hoping now that we have the 11th that we take Askarov is he is still available somehow, JIC Saros doesn’t become the guy we think he’ll be. I can’t blame him entirely on the series we lost since Kuemper was just clearly the best goalie in the series and we could do nothing against him, so to have that possible elite goalie for the future would be nice. That said Nashville has not had luck with 1st Round Pick goalies ala Brian Finley and Chet Pickard.

I like this alot. Detroit and Ottawa lay an egg by letting Raymond fall to Anaheim and as a result Buffalo gets Rossi. Its a big win for Anaheim and Buffalo.
Minnesota's GM probably punches a hole in the wall seeing that he missed Rossi by 1 pick as they need Centers asap, maybe they reach for Zary at #9.
