Thorny Posted April 24, 2021 Report Share Posted April 24, 2021 16 hours ago, LGR4GM said: Power, Hughes, Edvinsson are all left handed. Dahlin, Bryson, Samuelsson, Johnson are all left handed. 23 and under. Reinhart, Tage, Okposo, Quinn... are the only mentionable rw anywhere to be found. Peterka plays on both wings, so that's a plus, if he makes it 16 hours ago, Taro T said: Would prefer they not go D w/ that pick either, but Dahlin played on the right side very capably in Sweden & could likely make the switch a t this level, and though you may not like 1 of them Olofsson & Ruotsalainen can both effectively play RW as well. RW doesn't need to be a pick of need if they would prefer 1 of those D. I wouldn't bet on this. Not very common in the NHL. It's possible but I wouldn't personally say likely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

French Collection Posted April 25, 2021 Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 Sabres 2nd rounder will be interesting, a “first rounder” that slips, like JJP in ‘20 perhaps. Arizona losing their pick takes the 32 team draft back to 31. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't see a need for another PMD especially if the forwards listed above have comparable grades to the blueliners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We spent months and months last year talking about who would be guaranteed to be on the board for us, at 8, a bunch of them were, and we didn't take any of them. Irrespective of Quinn being a good or bad pick, no one was really banging the drum that'd he'd potentially be our guy 16 minutes ago, Buffalonill said: Let's not forget Dahlin said he rather play on the right side There will be alot of first rounders in the 2 round Quote?

I don’t worry about having two great LD. Could be like Ducks back in the day where they could play entire playoff games with one of Pronger/Neidermeyer on the ice pretty much at all times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that. He doesn’t say he prefers the right, though. But, it’s good to know he doesn’t mind either side 14 minutes ago, Taro T said: This is a kid that has been playing in the NHL since he was 18.

LGR4GM Posted April 25, 2021 Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 Remember if they draft Power or Hughes, they have an entire year to figure out what they want to do with the left side before either player would matter. Hughes 100% goes to college for a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On this: I’ve started some very early work and have seen a couple places say they think William Eklund is a guy who can step in right away and is likely more ready than any other player. This is one of a few reasons his name is growing on me but, again, still early. Been very busy but I like what I’m hearing on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
