Up coming draft(s)

[BOSSMANPC]

Where are the best links that list the player rankings for this years draft. I know there are a couple of good one's but forgot where they are.

The Sabres have piled up a good number for the next couple of years so if there is a site that also has next years listed that would be great. I know it's hard to rank them accurately for over a year away but a general idea would be good.

Thanks.

I especially like that this year's draft looks to be especially strong down the middle. Sabres need a lot of help down the middle, and assuming they end up somewhere in the 4-6 slot for the draft and then around 20-25 for Minnesota's first, they should be able to pick up a solid C prospect in one of those spots.

Wow, Nichushkin second now?

So, looking at the way things are, the Jackets need to fight into the playoffs and so do the Kings to finish around the 13th and 19th picks. Still want the Rangers to fail and grab the Ninth or so pick.

Lindholm
Skinkaruk
Rychel

Or the lottery. Still would go with Drouin.


Heard JD interviewed today and said the picks were critical. Because when another team has a guy on their radar and you are between them and that guy, you can squeeze that team. Or, you can trade two to one of the higher picking teams if there's a guy you really like.

Or you can trade one for 2 or 3 later picks since the draft is so deep.

Oh you'd better believe that nickname is going to stick

Seems natural to me.

I hope Grigs comes along too.

That's what I want to hear. It sure looks like a deep pool this year 43.

I'm hopeful that their complete mis-handling of Grigs this year didn't set his development back.
