If you want big and skilled, take Jiricek at 5ish.

His injury makes Nemec the automatic top D off the board. I like him at 8 (where we certainly will draft. Finish 7th but get jumped in the lottery.)

I will you bet you money that Nemec will not be available at 8. 

Nemec is the best defender in this class currently and I am not sure there is anyone to challenge him with Jiricek out.

Oops. I meant Jiricek at 8. Nemec shouldn't make it past 4. The top lottery teams are a void of RHD talent and it's likely at least one of them gets bumped down a spot or two.

The Kraken barely have a system (and only Ottavainen as an RHD prospect). Arizona has Soderstrom and nothing else. Montreal needs to find their next Weber.

Not saying that either of you are wrong, but in McKenzie’s mid season pole, NHL scouts had Jiricek at 7 and Nemec at 9.

Buffalo needs to draft a center way 2 many question marks on the roster 

Depends on where they draft and what is available in that 5-8 range.

Buffalo has a lot more question marks at RD than at C.  I think either is acceptable early in the 1st.

I don't think all 3 of them will even be centers, let alone 1st line centers.

Cozens, Tage, Mitts, Krebs 

V

Ott, Coho, and Ennis

They don't seem comparable at all

Do teams win games without any top-4 quality RHD?

The Sabres have Mittelstadt, Thompson, Cozens, and Krebs as young prospective top-6 centers.

And what are you calling a number 1 C?  One of the best 32 C’s in the league?

These are all question marks all of them could be wingers .

Tage is ok for a 3rd line center

What centres in this draft are more likely to put up 60 points than Krebs, Mitts, Cozens and/or Thompson?

Wright, maybe Cooley but he is on par with these guys.

I'd be concerned Savoie ends up a winger. Nazar I thought already was.

I mean we just spent 6 seasons learning a #1 center isn't everything.

That's because we had a crappy Risto playing 25 min a night with no defense

I still remember our winning streaks the 18-19 i believe it was 10 in a row and they just let the team die and tank so embarrassing

That proves the point though. A hockey team is only as good as the sum of its parts. You need good players everywhere, a generational player somewhere specifically is nice but far from necessary and even further from being guaranteed as a contender.

I’d be careful about using the word “us”
