Im almost guaranteeing that another defenseman will slide into the top 10. There is no way the draft ends up with the top 10 with only 1 defenseman drafted, its too much of a need for a lot of teams, especially the Red Wings, Oilers, and Ducks. Turcotte could drop because he missed games, kind of like Matt Barzal who was also injured for some time during his draft year who talent wise, was easily in the top 10-12 He had 2 in his top 10... Byram at 4 and Soderstrom at 9. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO Broberg will be the most dominant D coming out of this draft. He’s, big, skilled, smart, hyper competitive, and wants to dominate any game he’s in.

I have a feeling Soderstrom will be there at 10 and we will take him. That's the elusive right shot puck moving dman that Jim has wanted since the start. No matter what we are going to get a very good player at 10, lots of good players in this draft. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coryberg Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 One thing I'm looking forward to seeing is if Montreal takes Suzuki at 15 to reunite the brothers. That's about the spot he is projected to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't not think so, he's pretty small and they e already got Stetcher and Hughes back there. They need some size back there to go where the the skill. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think he’s too impressive a player to slip to 10. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coryberg Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Canada beat Belarus 6-5 in a U18 friendly. That's pretty freaking friendly of Canada to give them that many. Damn near related! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd he ok with it, if not for Stetcher (not that I think Stetcher is soft, just small) and Hughes. Watching the playoffs, it's tough out there for dmen, very physical. It's different for fwds, but there's no getting around size and toughness for dmen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the pace of playoffs you want guys that can quickly transition as well. Hughes-Woo Tryamkin-Soderstrom Juolevi-Stecher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless a dman is a "can't pass up" kind of player, I'm not a fan of them in the first round. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell I seen him fumble the puck against the Isles and get scored on. Tired of seeing this team suck at moving the puck. A 6 foot d-man isn’t small and he can move the puck. Sign me up.

I never want to hear you speak well of Hughes again then Draft BPA, personally I want Boldy or Soderstrom, but Benning knows best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's different for fwds, but there's no getting around size and toughness for dmen. You definitely have a point about average defenceman size. I couldn't find that in 3 minutes of googling but if I had to guess I'd add an inch and 7 pounds to that number. Still not in the "pretty small" column. As for size and toughness who were you thinking of drafting with both? Broberg is a big man that is a great skater but isn't very physical and needs to work on his defensive game. Seider has the size but from what I've seen he doesnt play a rough and tumble game (he is also a reach at 10). Jim has talked at lengths about mobile D that can get back to the pucks fast and transition smoothly. Between that and being a puck moving right handed D I think it's too much for him to pass on. It just depends who else slides down, might be to big of a big gap to pass on the BPA. There is always the option of taking a highly rated forward at 10 and taking a Defenceman at 40 or trading up into the top of the first and taking one. There is a lot that has yet to shake out and my opinion could change as more scouting reports come out. Either way I'm very confident that Jim will get a very good player.

Unless I don’t recall correctly(entirely possible) he was in he top 3-5 of mock drafts before the season started. Just the question of his skill against top competition. We could see him vault up the standings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
