strome vs hanifin?


not to say I cant see any value in strome/another quality center, but I think its pretty much a no brainer to pick hanifin for a bunch of reasons.

No, I more mean Hanifin Vs Strome Vs Provorov Vs Marner. All seem to be ranked right around that mark and all bring valuable skill sets, but all have certain questions worth asking.

If we get the 3rd pick, it's mostly between these two:

Hanifin is a safe bet to be an NHL defender, but does he have that elite offensive level or any snarl to his game when he hits pro. Erik Johnson produced comparably in hi draft year +1 so perhaps his "lack of elite offense" is a touch overblown.

Strome has size and skill but how much is playing with McDavid boosting his offensive totals? Hard to argue McDavid hasn't had an impact, but I have a hard time discrediting him for it as he maintained a high level of play when Connor was out.

But if we drop to 4th, or even 5th (if the team suddenly wins a bunch of games) then these guys come into the picture:

Provorov has all the tools to become an elite Dman along with a dynamic element that Hanifin seems to be lacking and seems to be climbing the rankings to the point where he may be able to contend for a top-5 selection.

Marner is ridiculously skilled and tenacious (compared to Giroux and Kane), but this would mean drafting another small forward.

I mean, I naturally lean towards drafting a Dman, but having read around a lot, the Oiler fanbase seems awfully divided for what should be a much easier decision IMO.
