Hoss Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 18 minutes ago, GASabresIUFAN said: I've completed my first consolidated 1st rd draft list. 10 sources from April (5) and May (5) and I'll update as they do. Sources NHL.com, Future Considerations, Sportsnet, SI/THN, TSN Button and McKenzie, the Draft Analyst, McKeens, Elite Prospects and Forbes at THW. 29 players appeared on 8 or more of the 10 rankings which is a surprisingly high number given the circumstances. 14 appeared on all 10. Another 4 appeared on 5 or 6 ballots and there were 53 players who appeared at least once. 3 players received 1st place votes: Powers (6), Beniers (3), Hughes (1). Powers and Beniers are 1 and 2 respectively Eklund, Clarke, Hughes, Guenther and Edvinsson are the next group 3-7 with nearly identical rankings. 8-9 belong to Johnson and Wallstadt, followed by McTavish, Lucius, Sillinger and Lysell 10-13. Raty (14) is the last unanimous pick, but guys like Lambos, Svechkov, Ceulemans and Chibrikov (15-18) have similar ratings but aren't unanimous. Svechkov maybe the most loved or unloved prospect on the board. I can see a team loving him and drafting him early or see him falling like Kaliyev into the second. Coronato, Bolduc, Bourgault, Olausson, Pinelli and Cossa are 19-24. L'Heureaux, Robertsson, Othmann, Rosen and Dean are 25-29 and round out the likely 1st rd picks. The final group are Toumaala, Chayka, Stankoven and Samoskevich (30-33), although Samoskervich rankings are mostly from April and he could slip when the rankings are updated. Love this work, god stuff. If we end up getting 8 from the Kings I’m really hoping it’s Kent Johnson, Nikita Chibrikov or Mason McTavish. At 33 I’d love Stankoven or Othmann.

I am shocked! Shocked that the 60-70% number I keep saying for Power is what you found in your research...

thewookie1 Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 Hypothetically if Buffalo acquired pick 8, and we took Power 1st Overall how would you use it? If there was a run on forwards would you take Hughes at 8 even after drafting Power? Ideally there’s a run on Dmen and Detroit takes the goalie leaving us with 1/3 of the top forwards still around such as Johnson, Guenther, or Eklund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If more than one is available, I would probably prioritize forwards. Edited June 7, 2021 by Curt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think in this hypothetical scenario that Eklund and Guenther would be the two most likely guys available at 8 but Imwould also throw McTavish in there as a wildcard.

LD prospects would be a bit ridiculous, but that’s the tier of players. I would have Johnson/McTavish in the next tier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally and likely it’s a forward. I’d hope for Kent Johnson, Mason McTavish or Nikita Chibrikov. This, assuming guys like Eklund and Guenther are already off the board.
