  1. I like Evan Bouchard so far. Convince me otherwise.

      Not a fan myself. His defensive game looks laborious and that's only in junior. I think being more physically developed than a lot of the other kids in his league has compensated for his shortcomings big time.

       

      I wont be mad if they pick him, but I think one of the more offensive defensemen is a better choice.

      I hate Bouchard. Why? I just prefer the other D men (Boqvist and Hughes). Heck, I would even pick Wahlstrom ahead of him too.

      I'd take Dahlin, Hughes, Dobson, and Boqvist before Bouchard. 

      Bouchard's skill-set doesn't look like one that will transfer well into today's NHL. Where he has excelled is due to his physical maturity, not because of any excess of talent. Where he suffers is foot-speed which is arguably the most important aspect of the NHL today. Do we really want someone who's biggest knock is one of the most important factors of the current NHL? I don't.

      @ReggieBush - I'm a fan of Merkley, but I wouldn't be dropping a first round pick on him unless I was picking at 25 over later. I'd be happy to use our second round pick on him if he's there, or look to move that pick up into the late first to snag him.
