What your teams need for the 2015 draft.

[Sundinisagod]

Top pairing RHD
Big wingers with top 6 upside
Centre

 

[Roo Mad Bro]

Flyers

-Skilled wingers who have + skating ability and offensive upside
-RHD
-Goalie prospects (Flyers like big goalies)

 

[sakei]

Top 4 potential RHD or 1-2C

Werenski like mentioned above would be an awesome pick and definitely would give a good amount to move up to snag. Plus he is best buds with Larkin!

Well but that's not what we need at this draft. We drafted C last year and we're stacked with D prospects, Sproul are RHD. I would say Detroit needs more G depth and a refill of D prospects, but not with a special focus on RHD. Also, 1 or 2 wingers, preferably one scoring and one hard-working, physically dominant winger.

 

[Mr Lebowski]

RW or RHD

 

[7even]

Everything. If you can name it, we need it. Two way centers with size, goal scoring wingers with size, mobile two way defensemen, and a blue chip goalie prospect.

 

[rockinghockey]

EDM

top centre man - One of Eichel or McDavid will fix that problem
size on the wing, left or right shooting
Right shooting dmen with size
goalie

With PIT's pick we got we can actually fill three of those
McEichel
Spencer
Roy/Musil

 

[Flair Hay]

Jets are looking for BPA pretty well. If it was a choice between two equal guys, probably defenseman, center, winger in that order.

^good point! after likely taking one of McEichel, unless the Pens pick and the high 2nd rounder are both used to trade up or acquire a good vet that we need with a draft day trade, acquiring a big potential 2/3 center like Adam Musil and RD like Matt Spencer, Rasmus Andersson, Brandon Carlo or Nicholas Meloche would solve a couple of glaring problems in our system. Musil, like Chase, Yakimov and Khaira, would give us our big centers of the future, and one of Spencer, Andersson, Carlo or Meloche would give us a RD in a d-man prospect list full of LD.

on a personal note, i'd like to see the Oilers try to score another low 1st or high 2nd rounder and take big and rugged scoring winger Jesse Gabrielle of the Regina Pats. 6' 215 tree stump that dare i compare him to Moroz? but perhaps more talented? i noticed our bigger guys in the AHL aren't exactly lighting up the score sheet, so why not take a chance on another?

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Montreal: Elite offensive talent, high end LD

 

[Magic Mittens]

Dallas could use some skilled wingers, preferably a skilled LW. I would like to see them grab a goalie within the first 4-5 rounds. We took a lot of D men last year, but that's never a bad thing.

Also a center with top six upside would be good

 

[QJL]

Rangers:

Top Need - LHD, RHD
Take a Look - RW, C
We're Set - LW, G

 

[Electric Eric]

Vancouver - a offensive minded center who can create plays or literally any defense man prospect

Really hope you guys trade up for Barzel.

 

[Habs76]

Top 4 RD for MTL

 

[Habs76]

Montreal: Elite offensive talent, high end LD

We don't need another LD, we can't even make room for the 2 we have!! We also have our first line of the future in DJ Scherby to play along side PAC and Chucky

What we need is an RHD to play behind Subban

 

[PhilJets]

I'm A point a game forward
RW to play with Ehlers and Petan

if we can get McD,



punishing Shut down left D to play with Bogo
Buff Enstrom
Morrissey Trouba

You don't think that RD's like Dietz, Pateryn, Thrower and Lernout have a chance at being in the lineup someday?

As far as I'm concerned, I'd be happy with a Top-4 D-man or a Center to support Chucky.

 

[Hockeypete49]

Flyers

-Skilled wingers who have + skating ability and offensive upside
-RHD
-Goalie prospects (Flyers like big goalies)

You hit the nail on the head.

 

[spacemanatee]

seems like almost every team is looking for RHD

 

[BStinson]

Well but that's not what we need at this draft. We drafted C last year and we're stacked with D prospects, Sproul are RHD. I would say Detroit needs more G depth and a refill of D prospects, but not with a special focus on RHD. Also, 1 or 2 wingers, preferably one scoring and one hard-working, physically dominant winger.

The problem is Detroit drafts goalies every other draft historically. We also don't blow high draft picks on them. Mrazek is developing into a starting goalie and Howard isn't too close to retirement. Most certainly if a 1C upside center prospect is on the board when we are drafting we should be all over that. Yes we do have Larkin as a potential top 1-2C but after him it drops to either AA or Janmark. Hopefully Larkin reaches his potential and with Sheahan they create a good 1-2 punch.

Sproul, Marchenko, and Jensen are our only RHD prospects in the system. Sproul is a boom or bust type and Marchenko has injury issues to overcome. Hopefully both of them reach their potential but in our current system Kronwall, Smith, XO, and DeKeyser are lefties I would like to see for a long time. Therefore, I would put an emphasis on righties however if a lefty like Provorov is on the board snag 'em.

Wingers I wouldn't grab unless someone falls like Mantha. We have a young stable of them. (Nyquist, Tatar, Pulks, Mantha, Bert, Nasty, AA)

 

[donut]

Offensive #1C
DEFENSIVE PROSPECTS
We might as well get more goalies too since we'll be trading goalies every other season

 

[Habs76]

Habs: High end RD

 

[tyratoku]

Wild need to focus on a center and a goalie, IMO. Other forwards being secondary needs. Defense is probably the least needed.

Based on draft position there is a possibility of a guy like Marner or Strome, but we're more likely to be in a position for Zacha/Barzal/somebody else

We have some solid goalies in the system but nobody that really stands out. Grabbing another goaltender in the 3rd or 4th would be ideal.

 

[tsujimoto74]

Sabres:
-Game-breaking offensive talent of any kind
-Top 6 potential wingers with good skating and shooting
-More of a "want" than a "need", but I'd like another mid to late round goalie and an offensive-minded LHD (a potential PPQB type)

I'd pick BPA especially if the Wild are in the top 10. Also I'd bite on a goalie in the 2nd/3rd if available. We need everything as of now.

 

[tigervixxxen]

top pairing lh d-man and top 6 wingers

Just to expand for

Top pairing potential two way LD
Wingers, especially power forwards

We actually have some good D prospects but if we can get our hands on an elite one would be interested. Also need more forwards in our pool desperately, no secret Roy is looking for size.
