Odd. Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I think it'll be: 4. Either Virtanen or Rodin. 3. Demko 2. Boeser 1. Juolevi. I mean Juolevi was the highest ranked and the best defenseman in the draft, no doubt he's our number one prospect. It feels so good just saying that lol.

Nucker 67 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 If you include Virtanen then wouldn't you also have to include Hutton? 1. Boeser 2. Demko 3. Juolevi 4. Rodin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're definitely not weak there anymore. I think Juolevi fits our team really well, being an all around guy with a great outlet pass. Then we have Subban and Tryamkin, who are like polar opposites in physique, but could add to our team in different ways. I think the top 4 goes: 4. Virtanen 3. Demko 2. Juolevi 1. Boeser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snizzle_ Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 I agree with everyone with the odd Zhukenov placement. At the two prospect camps with his underwhelming Draft + 1 numbers in the Q makes for a wonky placement in the top 10 for me. Watching him play he seems to have average speed, average quickness, below average shooting and good puck skills. Combine all that will his slight frame, I'm not counting on him being much for us. I don't mind the Olsen placement. His numbers were great on a Cougars team that saw Harkins and others struggle offensively. Good size for a defencemen and looks like he has good footspeed. Perhaps makes a case for WHJC invite if he continues to play the way he did last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred65 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Well if your going to be logical about this Most prospects are not destined for stardom. 1st round picks 60% chance = 18 players, 2nd through 7th round 20% chance = 36 players So each year there's roughly 54 drafted players that end up playing 100 or more games in the NHL. That means each team on average pick up 1.8 players from the draft per year. It's really staggering how few actually go on to the NHL as regulars. There's a few FA's from the NCAA or EU but not that many. The turn over is slow most players that get to play last for a few years so the demand is not high either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wshdrvvn Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 I think I'd drop zhuk back to 11, Olson to 10, and brisebois to 9. I feel like brisebois is going to be a very good puck moving shut down D. His game is very polished for his age; he's just skinny right now. Big year coming up for him IMO.

Rollieo Del Fuego Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Jake got most of year in last year so they probably don't count him...Rodin at 4 makes sense to me; Rodin Demko Joulevi Boeser Is my guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
