LGR4GM Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 Just now, GASabresIUFAN said: They do seem to firm up closer to the actual draft. It's also why I say BPA doesn't really exist. To many variables on each teams draft board and each service's list. The math says the guys drafted after about 75-80 to the end of the draft have about the same chance of being an NHLer and the that % isn't very good. Yea basically once you get into the 3rd round it starts to level out and 4th round and on is about all the same. Each draft has about 50-60 NHL players in it.

Crusader1969 Posted March 22, 2022 Report Share Posted March 22, 2022 Think we are going to have to take closer looks at guys like Lambert, Nazar, Lekkerimaki In the 8 to 10 range for the Sabres pick and 14-16 for the Knights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't trust the attitude with Lambert either. I am not convinced on Lekkerimaki but at 14, I probably am willing to take him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
French Collection Posted March 22, 2022 Report Share Posted March 22, 2022 Not saying this is Lambert’s parallel but Yakupov had great skills that didn’t translate to the NHL. His issue was with hockey sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashsabre Posted March 22, 2022 Report Share Posted March 22, 2022 I think Slafkovsky and Geekie go higher and the 2 Russians fall, especially Miroshnichenko with the health situation on top of the Russian situation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish Lambert had a full world Juniors to play against his peers Of course him dropping could be really good for the Sabres I believe Lemkerimaki is thought, by many, to have the best shot in the draft, plus playing in SHL is a big positive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got a thread on it. I haven't gotten final rankings or draft guides yet so I can't answer your question exactly. Jiricek and Nemec are at the top of the class and will probably be top 10 picks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
