Hiii
1 lafreniere 2 stuetzle 2 rossi 4 byfield
Lafreniere goes 2 behind Dawson Mercer
I'm not as confident in Byfield because he isnt as skilled as a lot of the other guys, who knows how hed be in the NHL.
Auston Matthews.
I think OTT goes 1 and 3 with detroit 2nd, Kings 4, and ducks 5th.
1 OTT: Lafremiere
2 DET: Stutzle
3 OTT: Drysdale
4 LAK: Byfield
5 ANA: Raymond or Perfetti.
It really depends on the team like come on
what kind of analysis is that? he really is judging his upside and game based on how he shakes someones hand? come on
Marco Rossi easily. More points then Byfield, better points per game, better plus minus, more goals, better faceoff percentage. (Also Rossi was 30 points ahead of the second highest point scorer on the 67s). He is also older then Byfield by almost a full year. Rossi should go number two. Also he is NHL ready being 5'9" and 187 lbs (Gilbert Perreault in his career was 6'1" and 180 lbs, which means Rossi is only 4 inches smaller and 7 pounds heavier. Also Igor Larionov was 5'9" 172 lbs)
I really hope ottawa gets 1 and 2
Byfield > Stüetzle
Ottawa doesn’t need a defenseman as much they already have brannstrom and chabot. I think if the get 1 and 2 they should take Lafreniere and stutzle
I’m going 2nd overall
Always funny to see you guys talking about the german league and german players. 😀
Byfield is a bigger center and I can see his upside, but stutzle is a nice playmaking winger. Decisions decisions
Would be funny if Ottawa picks 1 & 2 and then they pick Alexis second lmaooo
If 1,2 Laff then Byfield… then draft up and get Rossi or Askarov package Islanders pick and some seconds
Stutzle for sure
I wanna make something clear to all you young bucks who think the Sens don't need Lafreniere and Detroit needs him the most… The Ottawa Senators only have 1 top player on the left side and that is Brady Tkachuck. We don't even have a Superstar or a franchise player at the moment. Detroit has a depth of left winger like Zadina, Larken etc.. Ottawa has a 25.5% chance on No.1 and No.2 or No.3 while Detroit has a 18.% chance. However, Whatever path the Sens decide to take, for sure they will go for Lafreniere. You RedWing's fans need to understand that they aren't going by positional odds in the standings. There going by percentage odds!!!!!
Byfield!
Stutzle should go #2 imo, Byfield is younger and hasn’t proven himself against adult competition. I also don’t think Byfield is NHL ready yet in terms of his skating and skill level. I believe that Marco Rossi is the second best player in this draft, but i’m sure he’ll fall because of his size
GO KINGS GO! WOOHOO!
Well thanks for answering the question who goes second overall? Or did I miss it.
As a German hockey fan I hope he goes to Ottawa, less pressure.
What is the point of the "Draft Lottery" stopping a team from tanking to get the top pick, when the "Play-in" teams can now tank a short series for a better shot at the 1st overall pick?
Who’s here after seeing the Kings get the 2oa?
Byfield might be kind of a bust, sorry.
What if he stays where he is mentally ? 🤔
It's racist if a white guy gets picked before him. #BLM
Aww shucks, gosh, golly. Great analysis right there
Stuztle should go first
Dear Caroline,
😍
That is all.
Cole Perfetti is going to have the best career of these players
1 Lafreniere, 2 Byfield ,3 Drysdale,4 Raymond,5 Perfetti!!
friend on the right is zoomin
made the whole thing weird.
Don't you two know how to say the guy's name? LAH-FREN-YAY… Do you hate french people and french names/ language?
Stuzzi, all the way
What?
byfield is a bust LMAO
Haha!
