Perfetti, Holtz or Sanderson is my guess for the pool of prospects you guys will choose with. Those were my exact three choices as well in another forum. That being said, if Bobby Mac's rankings are an accurate representation, it may be Rossi as opposed to Perfetti who is there. I'd also expect the Senators to take Raymond.

Forge Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 When asked about the draft, Fitz said that he would certainly entertain trading one of the additional first round picks (go get Sergachev!!!!!!!!!!!!!), and when asked about #7, he said that he told the scouts to get him the guy with the biggest ceiling.

Gah, see I wouldn't know where to go there. If skating isn't an issue then Perfetti is the easy choice but Holtz is perfect for what we need and our RW prospect depth is terrible.

Honestly, I really do get it if I think about it from a 2 year babysitting gig like Devils daily said it could be (and that's before you even consider that he's probably the least expensive of the coaches) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like if that really is the case, it would be a battle betweet Perfetti and Rossi. I like Holtz, but I kind of think he's capped just a bit in terms of upside. Obviously a fantastic scorer and best shot in the class, but a lot of aspects of his game trail behind the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we end up with Arizona's pick, I don't see the point in Holtz when we can sit back and choose between Quinn, Jarvis or Mercer with that pick.

Guhle would be Vancouver's pick should we get it. I'm a Guhle guy so I'd be happy with it but not over Jarvis/Mercer/Quinn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted June 27, 2020 Author Share Posted June 27, 2020 Pronman did a post-lottery mock and went... 1. Mystery Team - Lafreniere 2. LA Kings - Byfield 3. Ottawa - Stutzle 4. Detroit - Raymond 5. Ottawa - Perfetti 6. Anaheim - Drysdale 7. NJ Devils - Rossi 8. Buffalo - Holtz 9. Montreal - Sanderson 10. Chicago - Quinn 11. NJ Devils - Anton Lundell (gross!) Quote Lundell is a tough player to project. I could see him slide to around No. 20, but I could see him go top 15 as I’m projecting here. He’s not an exciting player, but teams still give him credit for how he’s played at high levels of competition for years. I’ve heard scouts suggest goalie Yaroslavl Askarov to the Devils here, but I could see New Jersey valuing what Lundell has done so far in his career. 12. Minnesota - Askarov 13. Winnipeg - Schneider 14. NY Rangers - Mercer 15. Florida - Guhle 16. Columbus - Zary 17. Calgary - Holloway 18. NJ Devils - Jarvis 19. Nashville - Bourque 20. Carolina - Amirov 21. Edmonton - Greig 22. Ottawa - Lapierre 23. Dallas - Barron 24. NY Rangers - Perreault 25. Minnesota - Brisson 26. Philadelphia - Reichel 27. SJ Sharks - Gunler 28. Colorado - Neighbours 29. Vegas - Poirier 30. Washington - Khusnutdinov 31. St. Louis - Colangelo 32. Anaheim - Peterka 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate how steep the drop off is for me after the first 7 forwards. It's steep. And then there's another steep drop after the next couple of guys.

There's seriously nothing wrong with him at all....and yet its the least exciting pick ever. I mean, if he goes somewhere between picks 10-15, I'm going to nod my head and go, "yep, that's about right". And some people absolutely *love* him if you look at the boards (mainly other teams boards lol). But it's the least exciting pick in this draft. If we pick him at 11, I'm going to be "meh" about it, but humorously enough, if Pronman reversed that and we took Jarvis at 11 and Lundell at 18 I'd be pretty ecstatic lol. I have Jarvis much higher than I probably should. I honestly don't know how I'd feel about having three first round picks and not getting at least one defenseman. Just weird. But I can't hate on those picks to be perfectly honest. They are okay. Lundell is not a sexy one, but there's nothing wrong with it per se. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
