Anyone know where/when we can get tickets for the nhl draft

Boqvist and Soderstrom are nothing alike expect being Swedish and RHD. Boqvists offensive tools are far superior than Soderstroms, while Söderström plays a better two-way game. Soderstrom is more comparable to someone like Nils Lundquist or a lesser Ty Smith

Haven’t been too impressed with Soderstrom after his 2 first games. I would be ok with him after 15 but nowhere near pick 10, doesn’t have the upside in my opinion. Anyone else have any thoughts? I really think if he wasn’t RH, no one would really be considering him at 10.

Haven’t posted in this thread since the junior season started, can’t believe it’s almost Christmas... My early thoughts of the top 10 this year, where the Canucks should be picking again:) - Hughes still the semi-clear number 1, hasn’t been as dominant as say Matthews or Eichel in their usntdp u18 year but still pretty great. -Kakko has been unreal in the Finnish league and has actually played C recently for this Fins international team, let’s see if that continues down the road. - That US u18 team is just filthy. Besides Hughes, I have Turcotte, Zegras and Boldy all inside the top 10 - Out west Dach and Cozens (especially Dach) have been lights outs and look to be top 5 picks for sure. -For as great as this draft is for Cs, it’s just as week on D with Byram being my top D. He has a chance to become a top pairing guy but most likely a 3/4 dman since I don’t see him having any standout quality. If he were in last years draft I’d have all of Hughes, Boqvist, Bouchard, Dobson and maybe even Smith ahead of him. Hope this helps some people who don’t know much about this years draft! Comments and thoughts would be much appreciated aswell!

Why is there even a conversation about this smh^ If you get Hughes you take him and run.

All the Whl forwards off to great starts. Cozens, Dach and Krebs all near 2ppg to start off the season!

Totally agree with the above statements, I honestly believe Turcotte will prove to be a Top 5 pick!

Not to be a Debby downer but this could mean he’s traded to another KHL team^

I know faceoffs are of huge importance but most Young Cs who come into the league are pretty bad at them. For example Mcdavid was 42 percent this year in his 3rd year and Matthews around the same in his 2nd! It’ll come!

one can dream right?

Hey guys! Been watching video recently of all the projects top guys for 2019! HEAVY C draft this year! Here are my prelim rankings I put together! 2019 NHL Mock Draft - Summer Rankings C-Jack Hughes RW-Kaapo Kakko C-Alex Turcotte C/LW-Peyton Krebs C-Kirby Dach C/RW-Dylan Cozens C-Alex Newhook D-Bowen Byram C-Trevor Zigras C/RW- Raphael Lavoie (HM: Honka, Robertson,Suzuki)

Without a doubt Hughes. Makar has a better shot but other than than Hughes is superior in every other way!

Per Ben Kuzma, out atleast 8-10 weeks. For &^@# sakes

Hey atleast we can say MTL messed up more by trading serg :-) with they said let's hope OJ becomes a player for us !

Puljujarvi isn't eligible .

Another 3 points tonight! Still half a period to go

Not gonna lie, I dunno why he wasn't awarded assists on 2 goals that I watched. (The 2-2 goal vs USA and the 3-2 goal vs Canada). Let's see how he does at the work juniors.

Whole Canadian team looks slow. TBH so do the Fins. I guess that's what u expect with summer league games

I hear buffalo needs more fans.....

He's a natural C but can also play LW. Must be playing W becuase it's a team neee.

According to the Vancouver Province, OJ has gained almost 20 pounds and is now listed at 6'3 200 pounds!!

People can't be serious right? After Bashing management for taking the braun of jake and passing over the skill of nylander, the same people are knocking Pettersson becuase he's underweight at 18 years old??????? Sorry to say but it's true that some people on these forums are just not smart

He's 18.........

You're kidding right? A ppg in a men's league at 18
