josh Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 So at around 23 who are we going to draft? If we draft Laf #1. I would hate to see us draft another LW or D and there is no Goalie at that range. So Center is top choice and and and last choice should be RW, which eliminates the guy I really wanted in Lukas Reichel. What RW and Centers will be available at around 23? Zary, Perrault , Amirov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainMorganBarron Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Amirov is a LW and reminds me of Namestnikov too much Zary good 2 way center, but his skating is not great Perrault I keep forgetting why I wasn't too crazy about him, ok I remember he seems very finesse not enough sandpaper or defensive acumen. Peterka looks great if he can play RW or Center that would be an excellent player to get but not a high ceiling scorer. Holloway if he is there also would be a good choice. Mysak I lost interest in him his defensive game is overrated Bourque also not very good defensively Foerster probably best one timer in the draft, could be lethal on the PP, but I am not sure how complete his game is Greig interesting prospect, needs to add a lot of muscle to his frame and seems like almost everywhere is listed as a LW Khusnutdinov probably the guy we should go for he has really good motor and hockey IQ Brisson don't like Jarvis and Mercer should be gone by 23 Lapierre too many injuries and red flag with only 2 goals. so I guess Khusnutdinov is my top choice at around 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainMorganBarron Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 We might be able to trade down few spots and still get Khusnutdinov as well as a 2nd rounder. in the 3rd or 4th rounds I would like us drafting a goalie because Oily Lipbalm was a mistake (hopefully he has a good season and regains his trade value so we can trade him for some other prospect) and we need to keep the pipeline going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainMorganBarron Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 You always should have a backup goalie who is good enough to be a starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainMorganBarron Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I think we need to keep adjusting our prospect pool with some trades to remove excess and fill holes. For example Pajuniemi does not seem like he has much of a future with us. He is a good goalscorer primarily on the PP, but we don't need that so much we need somebody that can grind it out Jesper Fast style on the bottom 2 lines and that is not really his style so much and his defensive game is underdeveloped. So I would trade him for something else or for a draft pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So effective in that 4th line role for 2 years as a Ranger He didn't even seem to be that bad in his last season 2 years ago. 9 goals and 20 points in 55 games split between Vegas and Ottawa. Wonder what happened or why he's in the Swiss league an not even the SEL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sod16 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 He'd be welcome at the Rangers camp on a try out contract if it were up to me. He was the consensus best center for the Rangers in the 2017 playoffs, but then again, Eric Karlsson was pretty much the consensus best player in the league in those playoffs. Things can change quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrooksBurner Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Why doesn't Hajek start the season with one of the European teams to make up for time lost last season to injuries? Lundqvist should suit up for Frolunda to get some work in and play with his twin brother. Maybe he'll like it there too much to come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Brendan Brisson is the son of hockey super-agent Pat Brisson." Good to know, now I really don't want him. I don't expect a son a a filthy rich super agent to have the same drive and work ethic as regular middle/lower class folks. Let somebody else take that gamble.

Sod16 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 This is interesting: Some interesting comments, but given that he still rates Lias Andersson as having a better upside than Ryan Lindgren, he may lack credibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoMinutesForNothing Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 So we moved up 2 spots! Locked in at pick 22 now. Pretty good outcome considering it could have just stayed at 24. There is a chance that those two spots could make a massive difference in this franchises future if they execute the pick well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainMorganBarron Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 At 22 I think best option we likely have is trade down to either Anaheim 27(Boston's 1st rounder) + 2nd rounder or down to Ottawa who has the Islanders' 1st rounder and a ton of 2nd rounders. Obviously only way this happens is if there is some player at 22 that Ottawa or Anaheim really wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwoMinutesForNothing Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 The difference between 22 and 24 is massive? Did you read it? The key words there are "chance" and "could". The difference between the players picked could be massive. Depends who gets picked but there will certainly be two more options on the board to choose from that would not have been there at 24.

There's zero evidence that there's a massive difference between the player picked at 22 and 24 though. Seems like a pretty off the cuff statement.

TwoMinutesForNothing Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 We picked K'Andre Miller at 22 two years ago and had to trade up from 26 to get there. The guy picked at 24 that year is some Swedish bust. So it can make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
