I doubt Benning would pick Byram to fill a position of need (Hughes, Juolevi, Rathbone, etc) so if he does get picked then Benning and crew genuinely believe he's the better player. With said said, I doubt it happens anyway. That is so true. I remember my first reaction to Pettersson wasn't pure joy and exhilaration. lol I didn't even have him on my radar at #5. Benning knows a lot more about these prospects than I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CANUCK-EXPRESS Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 If we get one of the top three picks my list is Hughes, Kakko, Byram. If we get 9, 10, 11 or 12 I'd go Zegras, Boldy, Caufield, Soderstrom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I think Benning will be under a lot of pressure from Aquilini to trade to first overall if we don't win the lottery, or at least attempt to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckFan1123 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 This has probably been asked around here, but I probably missed it. I read this thread often but I never post. Does anyone happen to have info on how to get tickets for the draft and when they become available? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGokou Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 4 hours ago, Off_The_Schneid! said: Everyone on here sure does over rate Byram he will go 5th/6th he wont get picked over kakko It's not that we over rate him, he he is deserving of going in the #3 spot but you might be right in that teams will take centers over Dmen with such a high pick. The odds of Dmen working out top5 as #1 D pair are not as high as say a center that is drafted top 5 in the draft. Not to mention they tend to have less fanfare than a forward, they are harder to sell to an uneducated crowd who want flashy forwards. There's reasonable thought that Byram could slip as far as 6 but if that's the case I think whoever gets him there will be getting a hell of a steal.

The team will want more certainty and the 2019 pick. There’s a reason 1rst round picks aren’t moved often. I think it would take Horvat and our 2019 1rst.

Bob McKenzie had him at #6 and as I'm sure you know, his list is made using the opinions and rankings from 10 NHL scouts. He was never an off the board pick. https://www.tsn.ca/matthews-goes-wire-to-wire-as-tsn-s-top-prospect-1.511597 Broberg or Soderstrom clearly wouldn't be off the board in the 9-12 spot this year either. U18s will offer the opportunity to see Soderstrom and Broberg play together, likely on a pairing. That will be an excellent tool to evaluate them against each other, as well as against other potential top 15 picks in the tournament. I'm most excited to watch Broberg and Podkolzin. They were easily the 2 best 2019 draft eligible players in the 2018 Hlinka Gretzky Cup to start off the season. Both have undoubtedly been riding the wave from that tournament when it comes to their draft rankings. I believe a poor U18 tournament from either player could really affect their draft stock and wouldn't be surprised to see them slide significantly in rankings. If they both dominate the tournament like they did the Hlinka Gretzky, it will lock then in as top picks. No wasnt off the board, but Juolevi was in the next tier of players. Tkachuk was across the board a top 5 guy, whereas Juolevi was ranked from 6-12 by different scouting services. We picked right at the end of that tier & instead dipped into the tier below for a positional pick. I bring that up because 1) I see other ppl bringing the Juolevi pick up regarding taking a D at 9-10, and 2) I dont see it as a situation like that where a D neccesarily isnt in the tier of players where we pick. If Boldy or Krebs or Zegras project as a 2nd line FWD, or maybe borderline 1st line. And Soderstrom projects as a good #3D or maybe #2D. Is that really a reach?

I agree the juolevi pick seemed like more of a "follow your heart" scenario instead of going BPA. I loved the juolevi pick at the time because he was selection earlier in the year. Hopefully he can the injury bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that was pretty obvious to everyone that MT was the most NHL ready player and whose size and scoring filled a need too up front. Hopefully we get a shot at Kakko for the proverbial second chance. btw this is why I avoid OJ's thread. the pain. lol 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
