2018 Draft Thread

[scott99]

Here is the ISS top 31 for October for the 2018 Draft. Isles to be quite active with two 1st round picks (possibly more if Tavares is traded) and two 2nd round picks in a deep draft. Some of these guys may fall to the top of round 2, where the Isles may wind up.

Holy crap most of these guys were born in Y2K

That's the first thing that I noticed. Makes me feel so old knowing these guys weren't even born yet when the rest of us were all worried about the whole Y2K problem.

Akil Thomas just missed out on having an End of the World birthday!

P.S.- Jett Woo is an amazing name

Me really really likey this draft. Lots of good talent.

Top 15-20 is really good.

They have Merkley ranked really low. My gut tells me he may end up top 10-15 in the draft.

My brother who goes to Michigan already loves Quinn Hughes. Says he skates like Leddy. Although no one skates like Leddy.

Everyone loves him!! They say he will be an offensive dynamo. I don't think his size will hurt him.

Snow doesn't draft dirty Euro's. Where is my Michael Dal Colle?!

That's a bold claim about his skating.

Upside is clearly there, but what if he's Aaron Ness? Was nicely surprised to see A.Ness is on Washington's blue line btw.

Maybe we can maneuver to get Dahlin, Svechnikov and Tkachuk and start the NEXT rebuild . . . of course if our organizational development remains the same we might as well trade the picks for Reinhart, Nino and Strome . . .

jonathan tychonick it is

 

[PWJunior]

With 2 1sts, it's a good time to restock the system with at least 1 premium defenseman prospect. I've been saying that for a couple of years now so we'll obviously select forwards yet once again.

I'm definitely intrigued by Hughes though (as long as he's not Aaron Ness 2.0) since we'll likely have a decent chance at his younger brother in the 2019 Draft if the nuclear option happens where JT is gone and we're a lottery team again.

It’s ironic because the only place MDC will be successful is in Europe.

 

[Jester9881]

So many amazing names in this draft class

 

[Jester9881]

It's early yet, but I've seen some clips of Jacob Oloffsson, and me likey. Definitely going to keep on eye on this kid if he plays in any tourneys.

If we end up picking second how about this guy?
