Salter Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 We're back for the 2nd annual CDC Draft Rankings! General Information As per normal, the vote will be specific to the team drafting in that slot, you will have 10 players to choose from in the vote (starting with the top 10 players ranked in the ISS Top 30 draft eligible players) . Make your choice not only by skill, but by team needs as well. Every couple of days I will create a new thread with the results of the vote, and a new vote for the next team. I will also post information about the next 5 players in the ISS top 30. Below the team's logo, you can click to see their current prospects over at Hockey's Future to have more organizational insight. Enjoy and make sure to come back for each vote! (Remember that you're voting for what team will pick who in their position. Not just what team should draft what player.) Congratulations to Travis Konecny and Evgeni Svechnikov for being selected 14th and 15th overall respectively by the Boston Bruins and the Calgary Flames! Who will the Edmonton Oilers and the Winnipeg Jets draft 16th and 17th overall respectively? Current Oilers Prospects Current Jets Prospects According to the ISS Rankings, these are the next top 5 draft eligible players. A big-bodied power forward that plays with tenacity and an edge. Relentless on the forecheck and is able to bully his way to the net with his size and speed. Has a good stick around the net and has an accurate rocket of a shot. Thinks the game well and is able to frustrate opposing players while playing physically. All-in-all, an impact player that uses his size and skill to his advantage. Gaining consistency will be integral to his future success. Source A prolific scoring threat, Colin White is a strong 3-zone player with an eye for scoring chances. Thinks the game at a high level and always seeks to make an impact on the ice, with or without the puck. Never seems to be outbodied and is an exceptional skater. Puck-possession is definitely a strength. All-in-all, a skilled, 200-foot player that does all of the little things right and is able to make a large impact on the game and its outcome. Source A quick-thinking two-way defenseman that is able to make fast decisions and help his team whenever he is on the ice. Possesses excellent mobility and has good individual puck skills; can catch the opposition off guard with his speed. All-in-all, a player who strives to be better with every shift, staying a student of the game. Has the potential to flourish into a very reliable all-around defenseman that can eat up minutes. Source A playmaking center that has an excellent eye for the game; sees the ice like a hawk from above. Creates scoring chances and on-ice energy through taking advantage of puck-possession and making the most of turnovers. Incredible work ethic; will battle against larger players and isn't afraid to do the dirty work in front of the net. Does not possess the largest frame or a dynamic level of skating; however, he does boast a remarkably high level of Hockey-IQ and a deep understanding of the game. There is something left to be desired having observed his individual skills, such as puckhandling, footspeed, and decision-making, for a prolonged period of time; there is definitely room for improvement in the small areas of his game. All-in-all, Merkley brings a medley of skill, smarts, and work ethic to the table, making him an invaluable asset as a Center. Source A very competitive center who uses his size, skill, and skating to power to the net and create scoring chances. Possesses an elite-level shot, great vision, and slick puckhandling skills; as a result, it's no surprise that he has a natural knack for scoring big goals. Offensive catalyst, but also defensively responsible. Plays a creative, 200-foot game. All-in-all, an intelligent, scoring center that is productive at both ends of the ice. Source Draft Order 1. Edmonton - Connor McDavid 2. Buffalo - Jack Eichel 3. Arizona - Dylan Strome 4. Toronto - Noah Hanifin 5. Carolina - Mitchell Marner 6. New Jersey - Matthew Barzal 7. Philadelphia - Lawson Crouse 8.

-Vintage Canuck- Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Edmonton - Thomas Chabot Winnipeg - Paul Bittner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatedkid666 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Oilers would draft samsonov but he isn't availabe. So Carlo Jets draft Bittner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Edmonton would draft Chabot Jets need right wingers, so out of this bunch, White is their man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N7Nucks Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Chabot Bittner - Jets have a plethora of young centres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gstank29 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Carlo. Big, physical defensive defence man who fits what the Oiler need, size and a physical presence. His offence is unrated IMO and he projects to be a sure bet to make the NHL. His upside is a Top 4 (maybe top pairing) defence man who will be feared by teams around the league and if the offensive comes around a top pairing minute cruncher who can produce offensively Bittner Winnipeg is the perfect place for a player like Bittner to play and develop with Ladd and Wheeler both being the same type of player Bittner is projected to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I just want to state how much I loathe doing two positions at the same time - if you need to, do it with one poll so the winner gets 16th and the second placed gets 17th. Otherwise players are missing out on both positions. Like Zboril looks likely to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point of this mock is to draft for each team's need so if CDC were to want Zboril to be drafted to one of these teams he would have more votes for that specific team than another player.

Baer. Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Chabot Bittner - Jets have a plethora of young centres. Petan...? Not including Scheifle they really don't have any center in the system. Most have graduated or moved on. After Petan and Copp(4th rounder) they really have no centers in their depth chart. So they don't have a plethora. I think Merkley is the wrong choice though. If I were jets and I wanted a center, I would go with Eriksson-Ek. Strong two way guy could be their shutdown #2. Not quite a number 1 center but a good #2. And his 3-zone play is actually quite rounded from what I heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jets are set down the middle for the foreseeable future. With Little, Scheifele, Lowry, Copp, and Petan, the Jets are set for quite a while. Right now, the Jets need wingers, specifically right wingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down by the River Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 EDIT: Overthinking it. Oilers take Chabot, Winnipeg takes Bittner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you find zboril gets neither spot, as looks possible in this poll - when youd have voted him in both if they were done at the same time. I can just see players slipping when they ought not is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baer. Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Luckily someone else explained it for me. I wasn't talking specifically rookies. Then why does it matter? Just because they have 5 NHL centers doesn't mean anything. We have 8 NHL ready defensemen yet the consensus this year is we should draft a defenseman.

I can just see players slipping when they ought not is all. Interesting outlook. I recommend voting for Zboril in both polls in that case. If he ended up leading both, then the 2nd poll would be won by the 2nd highest vote, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
