Assuming Nail Yakupov Goes No. 1, Who Will Be Drafted Second Overall?

[Flying Man]

But knowing CBJ's scouts, they'll take some other (promising) dude who will develop poorly under their management and waste yet another first round pick. Honestly, a lot of people on this board can draft AND develop players better than CBJ has done. They got Rick Nash right though but who the hell would have missed him?

They should trade down 1-2 spots and then grab a dman.

assuming the oilers take yakupov, i think ryan murray goes second. but i think that the oilers could use murray more than yakupov at this point.

I believe Edmonton needs Ryan Murray a lot more than Nail Yakupov now, but Yaks is just a beast and it isn't often that you get to take three young beasts in a row..

Edmonton can bolster their D in other ways with say, trading Ryan Smyth, Taylor Hall, and some more of their veterans for stud/young Ds

With their 31st pick they could probably take Dalton Thrower as well, pretty good D

Seth Jones

How good is Matthew dumba?

He seems great from his stats,but he's a bit of a risk taker.

He sounds like he has a big shot and a big hit

Is that true?

And what overall do you guys think he will go?

They need a ready to play now D man, not in 2-3 years.

Also, you know you're D men are injured when Peckhman is in your top 4.

When healthy:

Smid - Petry

Schultz - Whitney

Sutton - Potter

Barker and Peckham were 7/8 guys.

Oilers are going to be a nightmare to play against. They are going to win a cup before us.
