I'm torn. They definitely have more in the cookie jar up front with Fantilli, Johnson, Sillinger, Brindley, and the Russians (Chinakhov-Voronkov-Marchenko), but it never hurts to grab top-end centers.

As Wheeler mentioned, a top four of Jiricek, Mateychuk, Werenski, and a bitchin', high-end defenseman could be hard to pass up.

I'd say give me the defenseman as of now.

this is the giant right

The Athletic mock has the Devils taking Konsta Helenius at #10 which would I think would be a pretty great pick (amazing underlyings in the Liiga, good production, made the men's WC team), so I'll get my hopes up until they deal the pick for an old goalie

They've got Cole Eiserman going at #13 which is pretty interesting for a guy scoring at his pace, but even the advanced stuff has him as extremely one dimensional in a way we haven't seen from another top prospect like that in a while.

They've got Utah going with Zeev Buium and his nutty NCAA production. Honestly the top like 12-15 of this draft looks super strong

I’d be thrilled with Lindstrom, I just get bad vibes for Montreal picking a guy who gets injured a bunch. But I bet Columbus picks him in which case I wouldn’t be shocked if they take a swing at Iginla.

At least this year I don’t have to get mad when Kent passes up the superstar player for a #3 dman. All I ask this year is they draft baby Koivu.

I feel like you have that conversation with him ahead of the draft and figure it out

Keegan Lowe was a career AHLer and obviously nothing like this, but IIRC he explicitly told dad to avoid drafting him

Not sure but, if that's him, sign me up. The only other non-Celebrini prospect I had heard anything about to this point was a black/biracial center who had a ridiculous goal, whose stock was soaring, and one of the Columbus bloggers said he could be a steal.

Playing with lines/pairs for, as soon as this year (absolute best-case scenario from both health and development), you have:
Jenner-Fantilli-Gaudreau
Laine-Sillinger-Johnson
Chinakhov-Voronkov-Marchenko
Kuraly-Brindley-Danforth
Texier/Nylander (if they qualify him)

Werenski-Jiricek
Mateychuk-Silayev
Severson-Boqvist
Bean/Gudbranson/Provorov

...I mean, that feels like it has potential if Tarasov pans out or if they otherwise fix goaltending.

Yes- I thought it was him.

If you plug him in the lines I just posted above, that's some potentially deep depth at center.

I'm guessing it's not worth getting into a slapfight with MLSE considering Smith has to deal with them in 3 leagues.

Utah Raptors makes much more sense than Toronto, but dibs is dibs.
