With Tampa's pick in Rd 1 I would target these 2 players

[Mario99]

Rasmus Andersson 6-0 210lbs played well in WJC, he's a defenseman with good upside

& Brock Boeser who some mocks have him in late 20's, Button has him rated 8th

Well if they went Provorov with #7 Jake Debrusk a LW s suppoze to be there as well.

Guess it all depends on where that pick lands. If Tampa loses 3 straight it's pretty early....they win the cup and it's 30th. That said, I see a lot of Anderrsson since he plays here in Barrie. He's a good player, but I'm not so sure he's a first round pick.(in this draft) Early second, sure, so it would depend on where that Tampa pick is...and also IMO, on whether we take Provorov or Werenski or even Hanifan if he fell to us with our first pick.

Isn't Rasmus Andersson rated as a 3rd round player?

 

As for the late 1st, there should be a lot of good players there. I'm hopeful that a guy like Nicolas Meloche is there. Brock Boeser would also be a good pick if available. Another guy to look out for is Anthony Beauvillier (who I'm really high on). There are quite a number of players who could be available at that spot.

Beauvillier has been awesome for TC. I'd love to see them use one of their 4th rounders on Mitchell Stephens as well. He's been great with Barzal and Beauvillier.
