Why do you feel it is too risky?

During u20 world cup he was struggling , was great at corners , gave some nice passes , but it is about it . They put him on PK and he looks lost there . I like us to draft someone good at any positions . and how do you know if he is not like later to play in KHLWhy do you feel it is too risky?
Do you think Evgeny could dramatically improve his skating ?Eh, if he was playing KHL or dominating the MHL then maybe I could see there being some concerns about him coming over.
BUT with Svechnikov he's already being playing over in NA for x years and Evgeny came over a couple years before him. The Svech family has moved multiple times to help their sons. The NHL is their goal. No concerns what so ever.

No way Jose
That is a move you do three years from now when you have a ton of high end talent and good depth
We need prospects and lots of them
Very doubtful the guy at 19 will be as good as 27 plus 33 plus 36 combind
A defenseman that makes...good decisions...and does so...quickly?One of the things I like about Boqvist you can see in that video. Even when he's making routine defensive plays or clearing the zone or something, he's super quick and competes very hard at it. The puck goes right out, and Boqvist is sprinting around trying to make that happen.
I think he processes the play really quickly, too. He can converge on a forward before the forward knows what to do.
Not just because of tournament play, but I have Smith a notch below the other defensemen. Just seems like he needs another year for certain aspects of his game to click.With the absence of Bouchard, Dobson, Dahlin, and Hughes... Boqvist has been easily the best defenseman at the U18’s so far.
A little disappointed in Ty Smith and the play of the USA defensemen so far.
Kevin Bahl has been a pretty nice surprise for Canada. I think the forwards have stuck out more than the defenseman so far, though.

No, we need elite prospects. We've got plenty of middle 6 guys and bottom 4 defenders.
I'll take the one 1st line guy over two middle six guys we already have enough of.
Treasure that anecdote. I'll take my chances with statistics.just look at 2012 draft , 3 out of first 4 were bad choice . the best player were drafted that year was Filip Forsberg #11 by Nashville , they are really at scouting . It doesn't meter who we got because we don't know how it will be played out
Washington drafted Filip Forsberg and then George McPhee traded him for Martin Erat.just look at 2012 draft , 3 out of first 4 were bad choice . the best player were drafted that year was Filip Forsberg #11 by Nashville , they are really at scouting .
