@ Chef Luke Hughes is available in 2021. 2021 doesn’t look as strong, then again you and Berry Picker told everyone over and over the 2017 draft was garbage too. Heiskanen, Pettersson and Makar beg to differ.
Canucks are 7 points clear of Nashville. They’d have to have an epic collapse to miss at this point. These last 16 games has really turned the season around.
It’s not a good class if you remove Makar, Petey and Heiskenen. Quite awful in fact.
A lot of drafts aren’t that good if you yank out the top three players.

Great logic
Are you telling me the other 12 lottery picks in 2017 are great! Lol. It’s awful buddy
Your post is awful. 1999 and 2012 were awful drafts. 2017 is an average draft so far. Lots of depth already playing in the league 2 1/2 years out.

Doyle is chicken scratching the shag carpet for spillages from last nights ride on the rails while defending Byram’s miserable plus 1 draft season after ripping Olli’s next season in London after being drafted? Where’s the logic?
Tkurtle Logic it is.

Ottawa and New Jersey are set up pretty good for the draft with three 1st round picks each. Ottawa it looks like may have two very high picks.

New Jersey is gonna be a pretty good team in three or so years. And this one isn't going to trap..

Ottawa has some nice young pieces now and they could walk out of the draft with three more.

So in a year or 2 they will have a lineup that is 90% under the age of 22. That has always worked in the past

I don’t know what their lineup composition will look like. They could walk out of the draft with a Lafreniere or Byfield each and a couple other high end kids. Having good young kid in the system is a good thing and it’s a great draft.

All those teenagers will need mentors and veterans to teach them the ways of being a professional hockey player on and off the ice. Who’s left? Bobby Ryan?

So a 3rd round pick we got this draft:
the best 3rd rounder in 2015 was Anthony Cirelli.
Scout analysis:
A hard-working center who takes his shifts as they come, and finds a way to make a difference. A slick skater who is able to make creative plays in the neutral zone. Has a quick, proactive stick that is noticeable offensively and defensively.
Needs to get stronger and work on making better decisions along the boards.
All-in-all, a player who can play in all situations and be relied upon to make a difference. (Curtis Joe, EP 2014)
2013 3rd rounders: Brett Pesce, John Hayden, Pavel Buchnevich, Jake Guentzel, Duclair and Oliver Bjorkstrand.
So our scouts gotta dive in deep to find those golden nuggets, maybe we trade Tanev's rights for another 3rd or Stecher for a 2nd at the draft.

Nothing is guaranteed yet. If we miss the playoffs this season we will have a 1st round pick.

Naw. He gets to blame it on the Markstrom injury.
