Probably taking Soderstrom because Byram went 3rd overall and Benning wants a dman. Benning passes on Podkolzin, Boldy and Krebs because he’s positionally hunting like the Juolevi draft. Then those forwards are the next three players taken and all become better players. Or maybe like more recently we pick a player that ends up being the best of the draft despite not picking at the top like we did for Pettersson.

I think it was about this time last year when, after sitting 2nd or 3rd worst overall for a couple of months, the team went on a bit of a hot streak, led by junk players (Jussi Jokinen anyone?) and shot up to 6th. Worked out well in the end, Quinn is great consolation for losing out on Dahlin sweepstakes, but I'm not sure we would get so lucky this time. Either way, I'm rooting for us to get Bowen. Lose for Hughes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that draft he went BPA. Leading up to the Juolevi, Hughes and this upcoming draft Benning expressed interest in the top end dmen for the draft. I will also add that the stars aligned last year and the dman was BPA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runtzguy Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 3 hours ago, Elias_Pettersson said: Not sure why but I feel like Hughes is a bit overrated. I’m hoping for Kaako, Podkolzin, Cozens, Boldy or Byram. I hope we can unload Tanev and get another first. Almost no point keeping him anymore. Injured way too often and is starting to decline. I feel like he’s going to be injured even more frequently as he’s getting older, his style of play and has had a lot of injuries already. I think Edler could mentor Hughes just fine as Hughes likes to play on his offside. Edler also had his best years playing with an offensive d-man in Ehrhoff. Yeah, when I look at Hughes I notice his skating. But its not like its blazing speed. Also, his passing and shot isn't that great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCNate Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 I'm betting we end up 6th. Hughes Kakko Cozens Turchotte Dach We take Byram or Podkolzin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billabong Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Hughes kakko byram Hoping for any of these 3. For byrams sake, we need more on D.

I just realized they could walk away with two top picks. as for Canucks , I learned years ago not to get my hopes up . For like anything. Can you imagine if Colorado landed Hughes and Kakko? That's a whole lot of skill in that top 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of those sources obviously much 'better' than others (ie Bob vs the Pronmans, smarmies ) - but aside from the big, recognizable names, personally I consider Hockey Prospect (.com) to be a pretty solid source.

Yes, Hockey Prosect is a great source of information. I have used The Hockey Writers in the past. I'm interested in seeing why Larry Fischer has left Matthew Robertson off of his list.

I think 3-10 are going to be wide open at this point depending on who picks where. I'm hoping that the teams ahead of us put a huge stock in centres like MTL and PHX did last year.
