CommonDreads Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 My guy from the start of the year has been Casey Mittelstadt, if we end up with the 3 or 4 spot I hope we nab him. Also a big fan of both Vilardi and Pettersson at forward, I think both are worthy of a Top 5 pick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do you have him in case we end up with the 7th or 8th? Only going off what other people are saying as I don't have a chance to watch any of these kids my top 5 would be: Patrick Hishier Vilardi Middlestadt Petterson Then I keep seeing guys like Liljergren, Makar, Glass, Tippett, and Necas in some top 5's.

Currently have Glass ranked 12th, he's been impressive but I still really like guys like Hague, Tolvanen, Valimaki, and Rasmussen.

Devilsfan118 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 So we're currently 28th, because Arizona has more ROW right? So if Vancouver wins tonight, we could potentially finish 29th. Come on Nucks, do us a favor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair a lot of people initially wanted Larsson with the first pick and were surprised he slipped down to #4. And we DID eventually get a #1 overall back for Larsson.

nessus Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 The Devils have 70 points and 25 ROW, compared to the Canucks' 69 points and 26 ROW. If the Canucks get to OT tonight vs. the Oilers (currently no score midway through the first) or win, the Devils finish 28th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antiquated Colorado Rockie Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 . . . and of course because nothing can go right the Canucks are down 1-0 at the end of the first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triumph Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 (edited) Going back to the start of this thread - the Devils had 49 points in 49 games and were sitting in 26th place. They managed to get 21 points in their next 33 games which is insanely bad. Somehow the Canucks ended up getting only 19 points in their final 34 games to finish beneath NJ. The Devils only dropped one place. Edited April 10, 2017 by Triumph 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven M. Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 We finished with our lowest point total in our history over an 82 game season and are still going to more than likely pick 6th or worst. That's great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derlique Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I guess the good news is there isn't much separation in quality from 3-10, so we should still get a very good player. Screw you, Vancouver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0asterleav1ns Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Other than rooting for Boucher to light it up I agree. F*** off Vancouver. You are just going to waste the pick picking another Virtanen anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'7' Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 (edited) Such an underwhelming draft. Such a bad year to be terrible. This first round is going to be like 1999 without the Sedins. Edited April 10, 2017 by '7' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going nuts over it either, just meaning that it sucks that we bottomed out at the same time as three other teams and a fourth is in there by default.

There are definitely higher bottom years than this one. Last year 70 points was good for 3rd to last. There are some years where it's good for 2nd to last. So yeah, that's unfortunate for sure - it's almost never been 5th, as it is this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven M. Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Yeah, the inclusion of Vegas is like a two headed monster for us. Sucks that it worsens our lottery standing, but will likely open up trade opportunities with other teams when they realize they can't protect everyone and want to move certain guys for assets. Going to be an interesting offseason for sure. Just can't wait for the playoffs to end because after tomorrow's clean out day, barring a college signing or something there will be zero Devils news for two months.

I'm hoping for another FW (Vilardi/Patrick, Rasmussen, Tippett (although I've seen him all over the place as well.) quite a few right shots too this year.
