I don't see them trading down to target the player they want in the first.  JB isnt afraid to go off board to grab a guy they believe in.  

 

If they do stay ar 10, it is to get a guy they want there.  

 

There will be some pressure on the hist city to want to make a splash too.  Trading down is tantamount to hari Kari with the fan base and media talking heads.  

I actually agree with you Phat

 

I think there is just one big blob of players at 10

 

But of the defensemen...…...I could see one of Soderstrom, Broberg, York, Harley or Seider could be in there...……..

But the front runners are the forwards left on the table at 10...………..

Personally.....Krebs, Boldy and Zebras...……………….don't want Caufield, although you would have to be blind not to see why not....little $hit can score

Out of the Dmen...………...probably Seider and Soderstrom…..not big on Broberg…..bt again, he is a great skater....go figure? Because I can't!

 

But, who ever it is...…..it is a crap shoot...…………..personally, of all the drafts I can remember, this is the most confused lists of prospects I have ever seen, and someone is going to get real lucky and someone will be real disappointed...…...but I don't think we will be able to condemn the GM who is wrong...….we will, but we shouldn't

USA are losers today.  Caufield scores both their goals though.  Lots if their guys struggled today when up against players who skate well. 

[Blömqvist]

I woke up late and just missed the USA-RUS game. 

 

Has anyone been keeping tabs on Podkolzin throughout the tournament? How has he been and how was he against the US this game?

Mostly invisible I believe.  I think he'll be the big faller.  Hopefully falling past #10

Hopefully. I dont think benning takes him even if he falls but who knows

I think his size, or lack thereof, is still enough to keep him out of the top 9.

Jordan Schroeder. 

 

That is all.

That is an interesting idea Ken

I don't think Seider will be there at 19 though.....

If we could move back down to 14 or 15, maybe

But man, that could turn out so bad, if you are targeting him and someone grabs him

But I guess that means someone else if still there

Seider is one of these interesting prospects that probably doesn't get taken before 13-14th but could drop as far as end of 1st round. It really depends on what teams think of his offensive potential because that's what gets you drafted 1st half of 1st round vs latter half. Personally I think he has a lot of offensive potential and deserves to be drafted mid 1st half but if scouts aren't sold then it'll be latter half for him.

if Cozens is available at 10, then you take him.

I'm a fan of Cozens. Has size, speed, knows where to be, wins puck battles along the boards, good defensively. In interviews he seems like a good kid, mature, leadership qualities. He could probably play anywhere in the Top 6.

would be good if he is there for the picking...and JB doesn't pull a MT again.

Ageeed.  If he is at 10 you take him and run.  I suspect he’ll go 4, right after Byram.

Been pretty impressed with Braden Schneider.  Draft year is next year though.  Smooth skating RHD with offensive skills and size.  Looking like a high pick for next year and a nice fit for the Canucks.

Really warmed up to Krebs in this tournament. Of course there may be better players but assuming that the top 9 go more or less as planned (i.e. Hughes, Kakko, Dach, Cozens, Byran, Pozkholin sp?, Zefras, Turcotte, Boldy...), and Krebs is still there I would love to see him as a Canuck.

 

He oozes leadership and other intangibles and even if his ceiling is a 60-70 point per year player he is well worth the pick.

Krebs reminds me of Ryan O Reilly and Bo Horvat

Not even close to the same player, as far as I can tell.  Caufield is a lot closer to Marty St Louis than Schroeder.

A team full of hard working 60 point players will steamroll a team with 2 100 point floaters and plugs

 

I'll take that

Yeah i know. He probably will be a great player. Or he might not. 

 

“As far as i can tell” is a pretty big statement for a small player. 

 

In the end i trust benning and brackett to make a good choice, if not the “best” choice at ten. 

 

Its just so much harder to predict if a small player will rise above the punishment. Hockey gnome hasnt done anything in the playoffs, and thats really the end game. 

 

Playoffs and stanley cup. Thats it.

He'd be a high risk choice, no argument here.  But, he could also be an offensive superstar

Do you have the same reservation about Quinn Hughes?
