As has been mentioned a lot, but Killorn makes sense. He can slot in as our 2nd line LW for now. We may not have the ammo for killorn without giving up a first. I'd guess that he nets a second Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does make a lot of sense if we go that route. I'd assume we trade for one defense too... Maybe we will wait and see where pie ends up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just question the ceiling and fit. Can he play LW well? Really don't want to spend #7 on a 3rd line C if he can't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really don't want to spend #7 on a 3rd line C if he can't. Not sure. I'm not overly concerned about the center issue. I'm not even sure Jack is a center yet. But I think Rossi could lose a lot in transition. Here are the comments Fitz made Fitz's thoughts on the top players: “They all intrigue me,” Fitzgerald said. "They’re all different. Raymond and Holtz, different. Rossi, different. Perfetti, different. Drysdale and Sanderson, different. They’re all just different players. "Rossi’s 5-10, but 185 pounds. He’s all bottom. That’s a strong bottom. That’s unique in players. Sanderson … is he going to drive numbers? I don’t think so, but he’s going to play 25-plus minutes a night when he’s at his peak. Drysdale moves pucks extremely well. He’s an undersized defenseman, but he’s a right shot. "Raymond, look at what he’s doing now in the (Sweden’s top) league. When he gets stronger, what’s he going to look like? He’s more of an East to West magician type of winger than Holtz. “Cole Perfetti, he’s probably the smartest player in the draft. He’s not the fastest or biggest guy, but he’s smart and skilled. That’s the hard thing about scouting. But we’re getting a really good player at seven.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted September 27, 2020 Author Share Posted September 27, 2020 I just dunno, man. I kinda have the feeling that I'm going to be down on whoever we pick at #7 but hyped for who we get at #18 and #20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Jarvis and Raymond are the two guys that I'd be hyped for that aren't those two. I want upside, not safe. Rossi or Perfetti just feel like playing it safe types and they are both two guys who have skating issues that may cause them to underwhelm as top 10 picks. I know that STI says Rossi's skating isn't a true issue but I have my doubts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me nervous when everyone reaches for one specific player as the comparable for success for someone with a somewhat unique build it set of circumstances Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 I kind of wish free agency was before the draft. I feel like that's going to create a wonky dynamic because teams don't know exactly what's going on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
