I do not know too much about all these guys (yet, I will do research as the draft gets closer) but if Savoie is there, I do believe Yzerman takes him. But then again, with all the lists out there, he is rarely still available at 8. Outside of Lambert, I will have to start researching Kasper and Nazar, amongst others. Here is McKenzie's Top 32: Here is Button's: Other than the top 3, these two have vastly different opinions on these players. I trust them both when it comes to ranking, but Savoie at 4, then at 17? Button doesn't even have Lambert in the top 32. I would love for Button's to be a the right one, Yzerman could trade down to get Savoie and another 1st then snag another C or a LHD. Either way, I hope this means that Savoie will fall to 8! But either way, I trust Yzerman and support who he thinks is the right player!

Obviously I'm hoping Seider gets the trophy, but I don't see them giving it to him. The networks sucked the teets of Zegras and The Old Man all season. Seider is the better and more impactful player no matter the outcome. He will have the longer career and be with only one team for that entire career. He will eventually be The Captain of that team, which is something neither of the other two will even sniff on whatever teams they play for. Oh, I'm betting he wins more Cups than those two combined.

New Jersey will be in cap hell in a few years. Arent the top 3 ineligible for another top 3 pick for the next few years now? No matter where they finish? Yzerman will get a stud at 8, or if his guy is more of a 12-15 pick, he'll trade back. Either way he's going to pick one of the best players in the draft. Also, we didn't drop, can't be mad at the NHL. Be mad at the Red Wings for picking up useless unneeded points when it was clear the playoffs were out of the picture. Next up, new coaching staff!

Ya, but within 3-5 years they won't be able to afford to pay all the higher end talent. Yzerman should call Montreal right now. Offer Bertuzzi, Hronek, the 8th and next years 1st unprotected for the #1 OA and take Weber's salary off their hands.

Yzerman will get us a star even at 10.

Was Trotz part of the reason Vrana was struggling in Washington? If so, then no thanks, we need Vrana to play and score!

Trotz comes, bring Lane with him to takeover at a later date.

I don't think they bring Stephens back. I think the only RFA's he signs are Zadina and Walman. BTW, Barry Trotz has been relieved of his duties. What are the odds he's hired and brings Lambert along with him?

So, who are we drafting at 10? Lowest we can fall. Here are some kids in that range, per McKenzie: (C) Geekie, (C,RW) Lambert, (C/RW) Lazar, (C) Kasper, (D) Nemec Or will Yzerman go further down the list (like with Seider) for the player he "wants" to draft?

That may be, but I can't take credit for it. Plus, I know very little about him....

Plus I've never called Yzerman "Stevie" Here's my post from 7:44 am on Friday. Someone is just screwing around.

It's fake news. I never said it, whomever that new user(name) is made it up. I've never once talked about that player.

Ummmm, I said no such thing.

Yzerman worked with Bowman as an executive before he left for Tampa, but nice list though, lots of options.

I don't think he'll go D this time. I sure hope Savoie is there when we pick! (Unless we're picking Wright of course.)
