Kinda weird for a “Kontinental” hockey league with teams in IIRC 6 other nations besides Russia to limit an award to Russians only, but hey, I guess that’s the KHL. That explains it. Thanks for the clarification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SergioMomesso Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Stay away from Dobson. Seems to like his family too much. Might want to go back to the east coast sooner than later. Ah what the heck. Call his name or Hughes and I’ll be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R3aL Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 4 hours ago, Horvat is a Boss said: Kravstov wins rookie of the year in the KHL. He played very well and put up good numbers, but giving this award to anyone other than Tolvanen is more than a little bit suspect. EDIT: Tolvanen had 6 times as many points as Kravstov. The most obvious reason I see for his snub it the fact that he's from Finland and not a Russian born. EDIT 2: Lol people who react without knowing the facts are funny. Anyways he was a playoff monster as an 18 year old that's very impressive. Him and Denisenko have big khl draft factor risk though. If they didn't they'd be higher on a lot of draft rankings.

Dahlen - Horvat - Boeser Tkachuk - Gaudette - Pettersson or Dahlen - Horvat - Boeser Pettersson - Gaudette - Wahlstrom In both instances Pettersson would be on the wing to take full advantage of his offensive skillset and Gaudette would do the heavy lifting in that centre spot. Tkachuk has the size and grit factor along with skill but Wahlstrom would be deadly playing alongside Pettersson and would form a nice one-two punch with Boeser on the top line. I prefer: If we take Wahlstrom: Dahlen-Pettersson-Wahlstrom Goldobin-Horvat-Boeser Virtanen-Gaudette-Lind If we take Tkachuk: Tkachuk-Horvat-Boeser Dahlen-Pettersson-Lind or Dahlen-Tkachuk-Pettersson Goldobin-Horvat-Boeser or Tkachuk-Pettersson-Boeser Dahlen-Horvat-Lind/Goldobin if we take Wahlstrom or Tkachuk there will be so many fun line combos to play with in the future who knows maybe even: Dahlen-Horvat-Pettersson Tkachuk-Gaudette-Boeser I think a PP with Hughes or Boqvist with Boeser and Pettersson would be pretty deadly though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfgang Durst Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 On 23.5.2018 at 7:31 AM, Blömqvist said: Recency bias did help Miro Heiskanen last draft. Will players like Dobson, Hughes, Wahlstrom, and Kotkaniemi benefit from their performance? All of them were considered top-10 picks about a month ago by a few scouts. Will their play drive them up the boards to spots 4 through 7? Historically speaking, our very own Bo Horvat had a very good OHL Playoff and Memorial Cup. Juolevi the same. I would assume some teams/scoring departments put more value into those things (ours included) -- value in a prospect's performance through the latter part of the season, in the playoffs, and the WJC/U18s. @ Blömqvist: Interesting point you brought up. Here's Jim Benning's perspective on it (statements are part of an report published in "The Province", report written by Ben Kuzma): “It’s what the player does over the course of the season, and with those particular guys (Hughes, Dobson), they finished off real strong,” Canucks general manager Jim Benning said Tuesday. “When we make evaluations, I don’t know if it changes that much just because a player has a good tournament. “It’s more figuring out what he’s going to be four years from now when he’s fully developed. We’re trying to predict and that’s the tricky part of amateur scouting.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugar baby watermelon Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 it sure would be nice if we could get another 1st or 2nd round draft pick and then focus on taking a prominent dman with the 7th overall. Then maybe we could take someone like Kravtsov or Denisenko, the flight factor to the KHL seems to be a risk with these two but their upside is huge.

That's about as weak an excuse not pick him as yours... I am all in on Dobson or Hughes...I don't think Bouchard's skating is good enough ...not that he couldn't pull a Bo and improve it but Dobson can wheel with Hughes any day plus he can hit...!

dank.sinatra Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 What are you guys thoughts on the second round pick? Personally the one player I would target if he's available is Jacob Olofsson. Big, two-way Swedish center that played last season with Dahlen on Timra. Put up pretty decent numbers (21 points in 43 games) against men too. It seems like he has an excellent shot of being a player in the NHL. I think the Canucks should especially take a long look at him if they end up taking a D in the first round. https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/316535/jacob-olofsson Most scouts seem to have him ranked between 25 - 35 so we might have to get a bit lucky for him to drop to us. I haven't seen much talk of the second round pick. Who's on your wish list at 37? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is sure intriguing though. A big Finnish centre who models his game after Malkin. Got to like that. The guy could be a force in a few years.
