That's all good but Matthews is ahead of Eichel, and Eichel is undoubtedly better than Ekblad. You can't draft for need when you pick that high.
Imagine drafting both Chychrun and Sean Day.
Building from the back-end going forward, the Bruins would be stacked.

I would hope Chychrun+the best forward, our D prospect pool is only missing that elite potential prospect, it has everything else and lots of it.

Sean Day's draft stock seems to be dropping some. I like all the tools but when you read that people question his hockey IQ that's a major red flag. I'll be curious to see where he ends up in the pre-draft rankings next spring and how he progresses this year.
Chychrun is an absolute beast and I hope the B's manage to land him.............. with San Jose's pick.

So you are saying Day would be better suited to play in CJ's system

Anaheim, Calgary, La, if they arent' a top3 in their division they won't make the playoffs.
Central is just deadly and SJ is lucky to be in Pacific.
yeah. you have to take matthews with the first pick or trade down for a king's ransom

You follow European games a lot?
You watch Laine for example, 6'4 210lbs Rw who is pretty much the best player on ice in every game he plays, and against men, he's also 8 months younger than Auston, -97 vs -98.
i don't watch liiga, but have been told by people i trust that laine is still more of a project player at this point despite his ranking

How is he a project? compared to let's say other top5 guys and have your people watched him now.
And shouldn't it be great that he's already one of the best players on ice (between both teams) in every game while being a project?

i doubt with everything in me that he is as good a hockey player as matthews is, who i have seen play.

Are you feeling like that because Pulju/Laine aren't NA players?
You should watch him he is a beast, think about it, 6'4 210lbs -98 born Rw who has elite talent(potential) for scoring and is one of the best players on ice in men's games, and my question was that will Auston be the best player on draft day.
Pulju is the one that I'd want the most if we can't land Chyhcrun, he seems like a perfect fit for Bruins.
i think that auston matthews would have been the 2nd best player in this year's draft had he been eligible. he is an nhl player right now.
i don't watch much liiga but i see 10-15 shl games live every year and i'm a long time brynäs fan.
i think that auston will undoubtedly be the best player available on draft day. one player who i think will rise in stock is max jones, who imo, is the 2nd best forward in the draft class.

No you're ignoring us Finns completely
Pulju/Laine will and should be the 1st winger called 2016.

I'm sure we'll end up with him and you become his #1 fan
,it's tough to say these things about Laine because he plays for Tappara and I played for Ilves, it's like Ilves(Boston) and Tappara(Montreal).
From Pronman's newest list:
2. Jesse Puljujarvi, RW, Karpat (Liiga)
I've said it few times but Pulju should be a perfect fit for Bruins.

Would anyone agree with swapping Chychurn for Ekblsd if we got him? The Florida boy appeal could be alluring for them. I'm not sure who is better but just a thought.

If the B's do manage to get Chychrun and call Florida, something on the Bruins side would likely have to be added as Chychrun is not a proven asset at all and Ekblad is. Then you have the fact that Ekblad has already burned through his ELC and Chychrun would have 3 more years of his ELC. I can't see anything alluring about that proposal if the players are comparable which IMO they are.
