It was deemed as a minor thing but who knows. If it’s a minor issue I’d still love to draft him. If this kid was playing in the CHL getting more exposure I believe we’d be talking about him as a top 15 prospect in this draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like kaut, but he doesn't have that elite game breaking ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isam Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Impressed with boqvist, tkachuk, and surprisingly Evan Bouchard. Dobson was a beast also. Any of those guys would be good picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outsiders Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 The canucks keep saying speed and skill which makes be believe its going to be Wahlstrom if he is there at 7. I can't see them going for Dobson because he isn't the fastest player and I don't see his offensive game translating to anything more than 30 in his prime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dobson is probably the fastest chl defenseman in the draft and probably one of the top five skaters overall. Also, what makes you think his offensive game is only gonna 30 points in his prime?

His skating level is top notch and IMO what stands out from his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammertime Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 height and weight question? Quinn Hughes: did not test (worlds) Anybody know this kids actual height n weight? I was surprised how much Boqvist has grown this year. Now 5'11".5 I doubt he's finished growing either. His scores were impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he performed well for the most part and showed better athleticism then most would have thought he had. I particularly liked his fatigue index score.

JeremyCuddles Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Was watching a little video clip on Bouchard from the Combine. He is incredibly well spoken. I hate when I get to see the more human side of prospects. It's easier when they are just names on paper or a screen. Cause now I really like him. LOL. I like too many of the guys in the top 10. Can we have them all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to know who has the best acceleration, top speed, lateral movement, most accurate shot, hardest shot, stick handling in a phone booth, puck handling at speed.

Vinny in Vancouver Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Man, Liam Foudy nailed the NHL Combine tests: https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/2018-nhl-combine-results-top-10-drill/ (Boqvist did well; too bad Quinn Hughes wasn't there). As per CanucksArmy (https://canucksarmy.com/2018/05/25/canucksarmys-2018-nhl-draft-profiles-80-liam-foudy/), he is known for his skating, and he has some amazing athletic bloodlines. On this shift-by-shift, he does look explosive: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Yeah, Foudy dominated most of the “pure athlete” tests and especially those that tend to translate best to explosiveness and agility in skating. Not necessarily a surprise that he did well, but more a confirmation of what people have been saying about the quality of his skating and his overall athleticism.

I'm impressed with the kids combine however there are several others I would take before him with that pick. Tychonick, Kaut, Kravtsov, Nordgren not the mention the "why isn't anyone taking Kole Lind scenario where someone drops into our lap. He might be worth a gamble with a late second though if JB can procure one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Dahlin26 Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Think there's a high chance the pick is gone in a Hanifin trade, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
