Anyone know much about Pierre-Luc DuBois out of the Q??

Has a bunch of great numbers. 6'3 201 lbs and plays LW/C.


Look sto be a pretty popular one to be available to us in that #7 range along with Nylander, Chychurn, or McLeod.

I've seen him ahead of Nylander on some but not Tkachuk I don't think.

I've seen some have Chychrun taken before Tkachuk and Nylander too.

I've also seen some say that Jeoluvi has been charging up boards and taken as the first D off the board too.

Don't know anything about McLeod. I've also seen two other defenceman listed high Jake Bean and a Russian but I'll admit to knowing anything about the three. Murray mentioned Jeouvi by name in saying he was up there with Chyrchrun and Nylander so I'd assume they round out 5-7 but Pierre-Luc Dubois seems to be lurking around there.

Must be talking about Sergachev as the Russian.

I think this draft will depend a lot on who is directly in front of us if we stay in the top 6 hopefully.

Matthews, Laine, Puljujarvi, and Tkachuk are all guaranteed to be top 4 and in that order.

Then it will be decision time. Does a team like Columbus, Winnipeg, or Vancouver believe they have enough wingers and need D and take Chychrun/Juolevi early and leave Nylander on the board for us or do they take Nylander and give us the DMen vs Dubois theory.

Best post ever.

Best show ever. I still have the first 2 South Park seasons I taped off the tv, but I have not had a working vhs player in about 15 years.

I personally would prefer Nylander. I've seen some mocks that have Juolevi as the 2nd best D man and some where he's the 3rd 4th or 5th... Not loving the inconsistency there. Plus if Nylander ends up being better than his brother (a possibility) then we can stick it to the Leafs..

Chychrun hasn't improved like many has expected and some have him dropping. Even GMTM mention that he may not be that #5 guy and Juolevi is right there

Yeah I know. More reason for us to take Nylander. I think we need future top pairing defenceman but if there isn't a unanimous head guy of the pack if we end up picking 5th or 6th... I'd prefer to take the winger.

So you'd take Dubois over Chychrun and Juolevi as well then?

I relaly think I like Juolevi more than Chychrun just looking at paper stats. Haven't watched games.

Typically I like physicality the most in defensemen.

I also just REALLY like the OHL's London Knights FACTORY of DMen that come to the NHL.

Zadarov, Maata, Marsch, Erskrine, Wideman, Methot, Quincey.

Now you don't have to cry about that trade anymore. If anything we won by default.
