I can see another McCarron pick. Oversized American that would still easily be available in the second round.

Always a good read The time the Canucks revealed their 2010 draft board: https://canucksarmy.com/2013/06/25/did-the-canucks-post-their-2010-draft-board/

I 100% see Bergevin taking Tkachuk at 3OA.

I think I heard that Montreal straight up told Zadina they weren't drafting him. People speculate they are desperate for a center and might be looking to draft Kotkaniemi at 3 if they couldn't trade down a bit. Might all be pure bullshit though

I haven't heard that, but I also believe they're absolutely taking Kotkaniemi. Bergevin has ruled out trading the 3OA, so the Habs are drafting 3rd, if they're moving picks it'll be playing with their 4 2nd rounders.

Bergevin is getting fired after the Habs fail to make the playoffs this season, or after they fail to make it next season following Carey's triumphant return to form this coming season followed by his triumphant return to tanking the next one.

I think Kotkaniemi will be pretty good, he might even end up a #1C but yeah it seems crazy to pass up on a gamebreaker like Zadina. This is what Pronman said about the two of them: quote:3. Filip Zadina, LW, Halifax-QMJHL

Didn't Kotkaniemi say he was committed to staying in Finland next year? So even if the Habs draft for needs right now, they'd still be without a #1 centre lmao

If they insist on drafting a C, why not trade down and pick Veleno?

He might package Patch and some 2nd rounders to get another top ten pick.

The Canucks seem to be intent on moving the 7th overall for immediate help and I've totally given up. I've never been less excited for the draft or my hockey team in my entire life.

It's expected they'll make a push for Hanifin and/or O'Reilly with the 7th pick being a key part going back. They're also expected to throw big money at Tavares to the tune of possibly league max as they are probably the only team who can pay that. My team is garbage. Just garbage.

If anything Bergevin has an obsession with Defenseman, which would explain why the Habs have Poehling and... that's about it for C-prospects. I don't think the Habs view Kotkaniemi as a draft-for-need prospect, I think they view him as the solution to a long-term need. If the Habs were drafting for need pick no3 is going to Buffalo for Ryan O'Reilly+more

If a long term deal for Trouba isn't on the table, maybe the Jets will look at trading him for a pick plus. The Jets don't have a 1st this year. Myers might be on the table too, but only if Trouba signs I would imagine.

I don’t think the rangers trade up 2-3 spots unless Zadina falls there and another team is desperate to take a defenseman who will be there at 9 In general at 9 there should be good players available but debatable whether it’s worth trading up to get one as they’re probably the same tier Depends on what a team likes I guess

A blast from the past https://www.nhl.com/news/2008-nhl-redraft-stamkos-doughty-karlsson/c-299076486?tid=277764372quote:The Flyers reached out to the Predators with the hope of acquiring the No. 15 pick and selecting Karlsson. They offered forward R.J. Umberger, who scored 10 goals in 17 games during the 2008 Stanley Cup Playoffs, but Nashville said no. In retrospect, Polie should have taken the Umberger deal  Luca Sbisa, ugh

Couple of thoughts from the draft info floating around: Centers are being highly valued in the top 10 so far (maybe over valued). Zadina could be falling because of that, though probably not out of top 10 and probably not even out of the top 5ish, but centers and defensemen are big on teams wishlist right now. If Tkachuk falls to #9 it's probably 100% the Rangers draft him there. Have heard some general rumors that they like him a lot and Quinn coached him...he seems to me to be a weirdly "safe" yet "risky" pick. He's probably a NHLer with his size and some physical game so he's likely safe to play, but there's a risk his talent doesn't pan out and you have a meh physical 3rd liner, or maybe it does pan out and you have a somewhat unique physical nasty player who can put up points and create space for his teammates. He's probably good value at #9 but it depends on who else might be available there...if for some reason Zadina fell and the Rangers took Tkachuk over him, I'd probably be pissed! Lots of speculation that Montreal is big on Kotkaniemi and will pick him at 3 if they can't move down a bit. He's been a big riser so far and while it wouldn't be a terrible pick or anything, it's one of those situations where Zadina is probably the higher skilled guy, so maybe the Habs are picking for need there. Then again maybe they just like him. Boqvist also seems to be a faller at this point despite being maybe the 2nd most skilled defenseman in the draft. Size, concussion history, and his statement that he thinks he's a few years away may be scaring teams off. Kravtsov also has been garnering some top 5 interest according to MacKenzie. Not that he'll go there, but that some scouts rank him in that area. Veleno is another guy that's speculated to go in the top 10 because of the desire for centers. Larry Brooks "speculated" the Rangers would be interested in Wahlstrom or Bouchard at 9. Hard to say whether he has info to that effect or is just spitballing. Basically there should be a good player at 9 for the Rangers but with risers and fallers, it's tough to say for sure who it'll be. If Zadina started falling because teams are interested in centers and D, I think the Rangers should do everything in their power to draft him even if it's giving up one of their late 1sts to move up a few spots. They need talent. Most frustrating scenario will be when Tkachuk and Zadina somehow fall past 5 and the Rangers have a chance to pick either and pick Tkachuk....
