Hortankin Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I hope this is the appropiate section to put this thread, if not I appologize in advance. So I was wondering what everyones predictions are for this years draft. I know it will be different depending on who wins the lottery so for that purpose I will run the simulator and we will predict judging from that. After running the simulator this is the order of the top 14. ARZ - Matthews VAN - Laine NJD - Puljujarvi TOR - Tkachuk EDM - Chychrun CBJ - Dubois CGY - Nylander WPG - Sergachev BUF - Juolevi MTL - Bean COL - Fabbro OTT - McLeod CAR - Gauthier BOS - Jost Let the predictions begin! Feel free to run your own simulator! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to run your own simulator! Going by your simulator, that's how I thought it would go. If going by mine: EDM - Matthews CBJ - Laine WPG - Puljujarvi TOR - Chychrun VAN - Juolevi CGY - Tkachuk ARZ - Dubois BUF - Sergachev MTL - Nylander COL - Bean NJD - McLeod OTT - Fabbro CAR - Gauthier BOS - Jost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems we are in agreement to most things other than where some dmen will go. I cant wait until the lottery is done. The suspense is killing me!

Nucker 67 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 TOR - Matthews EDM - Laine BUF - Puljujarvi WPG - Tkachuk (a bit of deja-vu for the fans) VAN - Dubois CBJ - Chychrun CGY - Nylander ARI - Juolevi MTL - Sergachyov COL - McLeod Doesn't really matter to me after 10th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I can absolutely see it going the other way, as for forwards (ie: Tkachuk, Dubois) going before defense. That's just my defense-first bias kicking in. While I see the appeal to have Nylander in Toronto, Babcock has a massive say in the direction of that team. And considering he had the best defenseman of all time (behind Orr that is) on his team, and that Lu GMs that mess of a franchise (his Jersey defense first franchise), I can't see that team passing on a defenseman, if they draft 4th overall.

Down by the River Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 ARZ - Matthews VAN - Laine NJD - Puljujarvi TOR - Tkachuk EDM - Chychrun CBJ - Sergachev CGY - Dubois WPG - Nylander BUF - Juolevi MTL - Bean COL - Fabbro OTT - Tufte CAR - McLeod BOS - Gauthier Honestly I feel like I changed some around just so I wouldn't be identical to the OPs. Also, I have Juolevi as the third dman picked even though I rank him as the top dman in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good point. But I mean they have seen how good the Sedin twins do, so maybe the Nylander brothers could entice them enough to do it? The team trading up would probably want Chychrun so maybe Toronto will get a D prospect and Nylander out of it? This is a very exciting draft, so many teams that are looking to turn their team around this year. I know its like that every year but this year feels like something big is going to happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Im from Cape Breton where Dubois plays Isn't Dubois supposed to be a beast? Big player, plays all forward positions, gives 110%, not many flaws to his game, leadership qualities...? I haven't seen him play yet, but this is the kind of stuff that's being said about Dubois. Are you able to shed more light on him as a player?

Are you able to shed more light on him as a player? I havent watched him live. He is a fantastic player from what I have heard, but to me we already have our Dubois in Virtanen. If we get top 3 im going for a Matthews or a Finn, if not I am taking a Dman wether its with our pick or if we trade down and get assets + draft a Dman. Thats just my opinion though and its not worth much considering im on my couch and not running an organization lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hortankin Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share Posted April 19, 2016 This isnt so much ranking the players, more of where they will be picked. Which is why I ran the simulator. Just wanted to clarify that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Yeah, a bit tough to say what the Canucks need more: Scoring or a PPD (players in development, but probably not on the team full time next year) * may be an exception F - Zalewski, McCann*, Cassels, Zhukenov, Rodin, Grenier, Boeser D - Pedan*, Brisebois, Olson, Sautner, Subban, Neill, Larsen, Stecher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
