You think Hughes makes it to #7?

No. Merican gone to Merican team

Zadina will fall to us

That could happen

If Hughes or Wahlstrom is available you need to take them.
- VANTEL

Yup, I agree, gotta take one of those guys if they're there. Hughes if they're both there because of his skill level. I know I just said I'd take the center first but he's the one defensemen I'd gamble on because of his skill.

I wasn't high on him before because of his size but he was measured properly at the combine and came in at just under six feet so I'll let him slide on his size

Please great Lupal in the sky make this happpen

No. Merican gone to Merican team
- carsonagenic

Probably Detroit if not Montreal.

Zadina will fall to us
- pker2theend

And then fall to Chicago

My best guess...

Buffalo - Dahlin
Carolina - Svechnikov
Montreal - Hughes
Ottawa - Zadina
Arizona - Boqvist
Detroit - Tkachuk
Vancouver - Wahlstrom

I still think Boqvist will fall a bit, I'd replace him in that top 7 with Dobson or Kotkaniemi.

AZ GM seems like the guy who'll take a chance on him and buck the trend.

All hail to Lord Lupal's wish and command via deciple Vantel.

AZ needs a forward that can score. Kotkainiemi might be that guy.

Yes, regards to a great voice from my past....

You don't know that either


Wasn't Juolevi suppose to be a top pairing guy?
- VANTEL

Dobson is a far better prospect. Better skater, better attitude and better production. And no, I seem to remember he was projected as a top four guy

Perhaps?

yeah, I guess so. They're pretty invested in advanced stats so I assume they'll simply draft the prospect who has the best numbers(and I'm not talking about goals and points here).

He didn’t get measured

You think Hughes makes it to #7?
- LeftCoaster

It's possible. Seems like quite a few teams will pick d above us (Arizona and Detroit), maybe even MTL. I have Boqvist going third, and one of wahlstrom, tkachuk or hughes sliding to us for that reason. MTL could pick hughes in that spot, we end up with boquist. 7 is definitely a good pick. I'd be really happy with one of those 4 guys.

I think it will be Wahlstrom or a d such as hughes/boqvist. They are pretty good up the middle, don't need to reach.
