Montreal
Giving Montreal 10th is generous lol.

But interesting with Dach out of the top 5, and Lavoie and Nussbaumer so high.

For positions, Pelletier is a center but I think you got all the others.

Vlasic and Parent both seem very high compared to their typical rankings, what's your explanation there?
Vlasic - I like big defense-man, I was rooting for Stanley, and Niemlainen back in 2016 to go high lol. But basing on how his season goes he could end up dropping.

Parent- I got a feeling that he could be a big riser in this draft, although he had a rough season last year, I just think that he could have a really good year in Halifax along with Lavoie.

If Carey Price can do decent next season and stay healthy I don’t see Montreal being a bottom 5 team. However their on paper their definitely not a playoff team haha.

Of course it'll change a lot by April, every year there's someone not ranked in anyone's top 30 who goes top 10, or are thought of as 25-30 but go 2nd at season's end. Guys who get a chance to dazzle, play without restraints, will rise, and guys who are given true responsibility and blossom under the weight will also rise, just not as far. Me, I'm still focused on defencemen. Byram, Matthews, Vukojevic, van de Leest, Rhinehart, Bellamy. We'll see.

I'm thinking Woo and McIsaac will be steals from 2018.

I think Vukojevic will be the highest pick out of the OHL next year

Good list hard to predict a year ahead. Also, if Dallas picks in the 10-14 range again this year I’ll flip. Since 2010 we’ve picked in that range 7 out of 9 drafts. Can’t handle it anymore.
