Great write up earlier but having zadina ahead of svechnikov is straight up shocking. What's ur thinking there? Guy is suppose to be an unreal goal scorer which we have sorely lacked. His 5on5 production is up there with very elite company when comparing numbers.
If we go D and we're not picking first it seems to be between: Boqvist, Bouchard, Hughes and Dobson. Good players but real crapshoot after the top 2 or 3.
Good read from the hockey writers. https://thehockeywriters.com/nhl-draft-ranking-april-2018/My pick for 4th overall is Adam Boqvist. I'd even really consider him at 3. http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=265684
Thanks. Considering no pick outside of two 2nd overall has played more than 16 nhl games and very few seem to be relevant or hyped (other than diehard sabres fans) I didn’t think I needed it.
You do make some good points here. Frustrating we can beat Tampa, Toronto, Boston and Nashville down the stretch and lose to the Montreal, Ottawa and Detroit’s of the world.
I think Murray set this team back a couple years. How many legit top 4 d or top 6 forwards did botts inherit? At most 3 forwards and one d? He did a nice job picking up scandella. He also swung and missed on a couple of more. I need some nice additions and improvement but this team is a ways off talent wise to expect to fix it all in one off season.
Now that's funny. Hard to complain about free help ;)
I'll be watching closely to see how Nylander looks. Not expecting much but not gonna lie, if he and Mitts put on a show the hype meter will begin to power up.
This is one of the first times I'm looking at the draft. I'm on board with Liger and would be very happy with Wahlstrom. He reminds me of Mittlestadt last year and Keller the year before. Has enormous skill yet seems to be projected to go anywhere from 4th to 10th overall.
Possibly. He has all summer to review game tape and hopefully work with coaching staff to pick up on defensive positioning.
Ofcourse that is just tape and it will take game situations to figure it out. I have no problem if he spends the first month of the season in Rochester.
This is the most highly anticipated player, other than Jack, in a long time. I know there was anticipation with Reinhart and cough Grigorenko. But this feels bigger than those two, I donno.
