Tribal Phoenix 2020 NHL Mock Draft - DRAFT THREAD

[TribalPhoenix]

Why would Buffalo select Drysdale when there's a huge need for forward talent in the pipeline? Except for Cozens there's no realistic forwards in their farm system, while they have several high pick defensemen in the college ranks and the AHL.

First rule of thumb in scouting - pick the best player available at this point in the draft. Drysdale is, with Perfetti a close second in my opinion.

Byfield would be a blessing to Buffalo. Hard to imagine passing if they lucked into. Pretty sure there would be riots in Buffalo if they took Drysdale there.

But again, this is a personal preference draft too so if someone likes Drysdale more and wants to take him, then by all means go ahead.

Idk I like Drysdale haha. Honestly picking Askarov at 3 wouldn’t be too bad of an idea dude looks legit

Thanks?

Edit: As a fellow "I work too many hours guy", I understand.

I wasn’t trying to be rude by any means I was just offline for the majority of the day, but yeah ever since I got my full-time job I haven’t been on this site as much.

Understandable.

Fair enough, I personally have Drysdale in the 3d tier after Byfield

I don't think there is a wrong choice, to be honest. I've watched both play since Bantam and they're both going to be special players. I agree that Byfield is the higher prospect, but his motor is a question mark. Always has been.

Perfetti and Caufield are going to make one explosive powerplay in Montreal.

Would be surprising if Perfetti is still around at 10.

Nothing against Zary, like him a lot, but if the Sens didn’t take Raymond and Holtz they’re crazy!

That would have been a stretch wouldn’t it?

A bit yeah. I value him higher than that. But seen him go 2nd round in multiple mocks.
