Haha fair enough. A fortunate predicament to be in.

Lmao so someone went over the draft video, and our draft list page flipped over with some names crossed out.



So it looks like the top 5 or 7 got picked, but there is some white spaces. So maybe the scouts rated Lekkerimäki within the top 10. Probably around 8ish?
The teams that went before us also reached and drafted players from lower down our list

Pearson Miller Garland
Podkolzin Pettersson Boeser
Hoglander Horvat Kuzmenko
Dickinson Lammikko Highmore
Lockwood

OEL Myers
Hughes Schenn
Rathbone Dermott
Burroughs Poolman

Demko
Martin

Top 9 is sick, but Ooof that defense.

If they move OEL to the right to play with Hughes, then I guess it will look something like

Hughes oel
Rathbone myers
Dermott poolman
Burroughs

I got high hopes for rathboner

Why would you move OEL like that, that's even worse than the original configuration.

Rathbone myers
Dermott poolman

my god

Cuz alvin/Jr said they'll try him on the right, cuz it's a waste for him to be stuck on matchup duties when he can deliver to his strength when deployed correctly

I mean yeah he probably shouldn't be on a matchup pair but like... who the hell else is going to play against top lines lmao

Myers needs OEL to babysit him, imagine him trying to babysit an offensive rookie.

And that 3rd pairing is AHL calibre.

disagree

Don't need to imagine... They've already played together before and it was the best combination sadly. Hopefully Yeo/Cull can think of somethin better, but they can only do so much with the shit they're dealth with.

Uhaul and highmore not qualified. If they don't end up signing, NYR should grab em both to play with motte and showcase how good that motto line was lmao

Def a bit disappointing to see either not coming back, they showed enough to warrant competing for 4th line spots. But no use getting attached to players like that. Wonders who Alvin is eyeing in UFA
