Derrico Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 NHL.com mock drafts out. Don't have a single difference until pick seven: http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=797221 http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=797225 The order sometimes changes around based on different websites and scouting services but the vast majority have those 6 as almost a consensus top 6.

WildCard Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Link? I can't find it, they mentioned it in passing on one of the 800 videos they have on their page on espn. Man, that company really blows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 idk if he is any good but in the 4th round can we draft Oleg Sosunov, the 6'8" 230lb LHD? Just because he is big and a LHD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You definitely want to be in the top 6 if you want a sure-fire NHL stud. However, if the Sabres do happen to end up 7th or 8th there are a couple of OHL Dmen ive been watching the last couple of weeks 1) Olli Juolevi - London Knights 2) Mikhail Sergachev - Windsor Spitfires. you knew someone would eventually do it - McKeen Hockey ranks Laine (my personal fav for Sabres) as their #1 prospect.

Hoss Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 Auston Matthews just scored his 20th goal in 27 games in the top Swiss league. 20-13-33 in 27 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoss Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) It's very good for an 18 year old. He's in the top ten in scoring (the top also includes guys like Pierre-Marc Bouchard, Cory Conacher and D'Agostini, though). He also missed a chunk of time. Trying to find PPG stats. Edit: Top-ten scorer delete playing ten to twelve less games than those ahead of him. Edited January 22, 2016 by Hoss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm, when I watched him at the WJC, he looked a little slow, needs to work on his skating, but he's big and can fire the puck. I liked Puljujarvi's game better, seems more pro-ready... Matthews looked better than both of them IMO, he could do it all, 200ft game, elite shot, sees the ice extremely well for an 18y/o with an extremely high hockey IQ.... he's elite as they come at that age.

TrueBlueGED Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Know what's cool about this draft? We could use any of the top guys. Unless we end up drafting 8th or something, I'm pretty ambivalent (other than Matthews, of course). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorny Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 I hear that PUljujujujujujuarvivivjuri guy is sweet Can you at least spell his name correctly, if we are going to be talking about him so much?? It's: Pullulululalululiiiiiiaarviiiiiriui. There's also an accent in there somewhere but I don't know how to put that in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get a pick there I'll start to pay attention, but right now I'm only reading about the top of the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_sauve28 Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 I'm good with another high end defenseman 3. Jakob Chychrun, D, Sarnia (OHL) As the son of a former NHL player, Chychrun has outstanding hockey sense. His size (6-2, 215) and skating ability help him cover a lot of ground. He's the best all-around defenseman in the 2016 draft and would fill an area of need for the Oilers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusader1969 Posted January 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Not as high on McLeod as I probably should be. I would definitely take Tkachuk. off to watch McLeod and Nylander tonight in Hamilton. Seen them once before and was definitely more impressed with Nylander.

Thorny Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) Aren't we exactly on track to take him? Well I'm not sure exactly how the odds are going to work for this year's draft. All 3 top spots are up for grabs, so maybe someone can calculate the odds of us getting a top 2 pick if we were to finish 2nd last. I would guess the odds are less than 50% Edited January 23, 2016 by Thorny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
