Skills aside the crowd going on all Rick Flair “WOOOOOOOO” every time he makes a sweet play would be great. i hate the woooooooooo from a single person. a crowd could be more fun tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides Dahlin and Boqvist, there's some really good OFD, PPQB defenseman from the 9th-20th range, where we're likely to finish. Quinton Hughes (8GPS 1a 4a 5pts) first NCAA season in his draft year. Ryan Merkley (personal favourite) (last season: 62gps 12g 43a 55pts) as a 16 year old! Currently a PPG:(17gps 5g 13a 18pts). Right handed shot to boot. And he's ranked quite low on a lot of mock drafts for some reason. Bode Wilde Jett Woo one of the youngest players of the draft (16 gps 6g 9a 15pts) Shifty defenseman Cale Addisson near PPG but 5'9 170lbs Jared McIsaac Evan Bouchard (Juolevi's linemate last season) Had 44pts last year in 64gps and is a PPG this season with 16pts. The point is is that this year is loaded with quality defenseman and the first 4 should be available from where we're picking. i want bode wilde for his name. we need to get a lil bode wilde more often!

Doughty now plays at 200 pounds and is listed at around 6 foot 1 Him, Hughes or Wilde would be my choices if Dahlin isn't available good year for good d. a lot of right d in this class too. whomever fits juolevi or pouliots play best im in. an offensive juggernaut be great. thatsssss grrrrrreatt!

I understand what you're saying, but it's important to remember that this kid 17 years old in a men's league. I don't think there's much doubt that he'll fill out.

Noble 6 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 He's ranked in the mid-1st round. Could be a good pickup with an additional 1st rounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noble 6 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Hughes has been capturing my attention recently. Of course he's not Dahlin, but the way he rushes the puck seems similar. Not quite the same hands as Dahlin's, but his stride looks so efficient it's unfair. Add in his edgework and agility and he could be very, very good. It's early, but Werenski seems like a similar type of player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noble 6 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Zadina is also continuing to score at a very good rate as well. He added another assist to bring him up to 17 goals and 17 assists for 34 points in 23 points. He's currently scoring at a 1.47 points-per-game pace. For reference, Hischier scored at a 1.5 points-per-game pace in his draft year on the same team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noble 6 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 And not to be forgotten about is Boqvist. He's the consensus #2 defenseman in this draft behind Dahlin, topping out as high as 2nd overall in some lists. Honestly, unless we're picking up Svechnikov or Zadina, it should be almost confirmed we're taking a defenseman. In fact, adding another pick in the mid teens would give us a chance at another defenseman. Man this draft is absolutely insane. I think this is absolutely the time when we can start sacrificing 2nd and 3rd round picks to add another pick in the 1st. We have a solid amount of organizational depth now, we just need a couple more elite players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckpuckluck1 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 You know what is really starting to concern me? The Oilers are sucking so hard right now. I swear if they win the lottery and draft first I might just internally combust!!! I have no words to describe how much that would upset me.

Noble 6 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 It's still very early, but here's my attempt: 1) Dahlin 2) Svechnikov 3) Boqvist 4) Zadina 5) Hughes 6) Merkley 7) Kupari 8) Smith 9) Velano 10) Wahlstrom Again, very early and could change completely with time.

I think the 2 dmen go top 2, Dahlin Boqvist and Svechnikov goes 3rd. Tkachuk will be top 5 to 8. He's too good to pass on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
