2020 NHL Draft

CarltonTheBear said:
I wonder if the draft coming after the start of the KHL could boost Askarov up the board on some teams. He's 2-1 with 1 shutout, a 0.974 save percentage, and a 0.74 GAA. Obviously no one is going to draft him based off 3 games but if there was a team higher up on the board that really, really liked him but were somewhat wary maybe this would alleviate that a bit.

I think that's a definite possibility.

NJ (who have 3 picks!) or Carolina?

I would normally say BUF, MIN, NSH as well, but they need long-term scoring talent more than anything

I think Car or Edm take him. NJ is def a possibility too.

Just a quick reference viz for draft eligibles' NHLe and probabilities.

So if we miss on Askarov in the first round what would people think about picking Nico Daws in the second?

2nd round might be a little early for Daws. If they can pick up a 3rd rounder or a late 2nd, then maybe.

I think you're right and it depends who's available where the Leafs pick. He had a very good year but he was also D+1. Most rankings I've seen have him in the 3rd/4th round so if the Leafs can grab him in the 3rd then it's a possibility.

Yeah. That, plus a not so great showing at the WJC combined with the fact that his numbers before 19/20 were not very good are concerns for me in terms of using a higher pick on him. I think the potential is there, but he seems like he's still quite raw. He's more likely a longer term project, and which translates to a mid to late round pick rather than a top 60 pick.
 
When's the last time the Leafs had a legit top goalie prospect?  Rask and Pogge?  Did we consider Reimer a top-prospect?

Yup. Both Rask and Pogge were def considered top goalie prospects. I think Ian Scott is a very good prospect. We'll see if it works out.

The Carolina Hurricanes have the 13th pick of the first round and eight draft picks in all. They also appear to have their sights firmly set, president and general manager Don Waddell said in an interview this week.

"Offense. I think you're always looking for more offense," Waddell said. "You've got to look at who's going to be available at 13 but we emptied the cupboard a little bit last year with a couple of trades and we think we've got lots of good young D coming, so if we can find that offensive player it certainly would be something that's a need for the organization."

They could always pull a 180 but sounds like Carolina wants a forward/not Askarov.

They should've taken Kapanen for the 13th then to get offense right away

The above draft would only be complete if Dubas stated in his press conference that he got "Ma Guay" in the draft.
