byfield, then stutzle if available. if not, then possibly rossi. getting your top 2 longterm centers in one draft? not bad for them
If Ottawa has picks 2 and 4 and leaves the draft without either Byfield or Stutzle, they've done something wrong.If I'm Ottawa and I have pick 2 and 4, I get Drysdale and Rossi.
Norris ans Rossi as top 2 centers and Drysdale and Chabot as top 2 Def down the road.
I'm a Habs fan and would love Rossi.
He and Caufield would be beautiful together on a line.
But regardless of where Ottawa picks, they are getting 2 top 5 picks and that will jump start any rebuild.
Rossi on a line with Tkachuk would be ideal for him. Brady will open up the ice for Rossi to do his magic.
Hopefully Habs win the lottery and get the French Canadian star they coveted since Lafleur.
Maybe stars aline and everyone gets what they want!
This. Love Rossi, but Byfield and Stutzle are on another level for me.If Ottawa has picks 2 and 4 and leaves the draft without either Byfield or Stutzle, they've done something wrong.
I don't believe he thinks the game and feels the game well enough to be a high end top 4 defenceman in the NHL. I think he posseses great tangible tools. For me it's his intangible that i believe will hold him back.Thats a fairly strong take on a player taken in 2019. Can you elaborate at all?
While theres been some speed bumps sure, hes a European Dman that crossed the pond, had a solid rookie debut in the WHL, then did it again this season as pro rookie in the Finnish league. Not to mention that he had a decent tourney at the WJC.
From what Ive seen and read, his shot will take him places if he can fine tune the rest of his game. His potential ceiling is surely that a solid top 4 guy. Like a lot of Sens picks, hes a very raw player with plenty of room to grow.
And for all of those reasons above (in conjunction with the Sens success at the draft table, specifically with these late rising types), hes a player that I would be fairly inclined to not take a strong stance on him either way myself.

keep #2, trade 4. What would #4 get you? help that rebuild move along quicker
No, they have Lafreniere 1 and have Byfield and Stutzle 2/3 in no particular order. Raymond is not in their top 3. After the top 3 I really dont have any other info.Allegedly they have Stutzle at 2, Raymond/Byfield at 3.
