2018 NHL Entry Draft Thread

It's not ''hands'' with Dahlin. His whole body is lying to you.

Its the long arms and long stick. He's the same as Malkin.

 

[G0bias]

That's a funny way to spell Kravstov

Watch his feet at 2:34 in that video. There's no possible way that the opposing defenseman could know he wasn't cutting left. The ''last second'' to go wide was a second ago when he made that move. It's hard to understand how he managed to stay on his skates.

 

[Saxon]

Are you calling Boqvist a kitten ? That's ridiculous.



Do it, please.



Dahlin is like Malkin on defense. There's just no comparison between anyone but Svechnikov in this draft, and in last draft, and in 2016 also. (Ok, maybe Matthews and Laine.)



That's neat.

Nope. Just speaking as a generality.

 

[The Great Weal]

Really hoping we can trade Pacioretty for the Oilers 1st+, I want Ty Smith.

They want to try their luck with another defenceman, since the Hall Larsson trade didn't go so well.

They need winger depth just as badly imo. A Smith-Boqvist duo is drool worthy.

Smith, Boqvist, and Mete would mean half our d-core were midgets.

Definitely like those players, but I think you can have 2 midgets, 3 is pushing it.

So you decline the chance of having 2 potential #1 dmen just to keep Mete? I'd trade easily trade Mete if it becomes an issue.

Let's see what happens with the lottery. But I think I'd rather gamble on a forward and a D rather than on 2 midget D if we were to make that kind of trade.

Aren't they both 5'11?

 

[G0bias]

Mete would be the only manlet really.

Smith and Boqvist are Crosby, Leddy, Giordano, Karlsson sized.

We'll see come combine, but both guys currently look like they weigh 150lbs.

Idk what website you are reading, but both are listed at 170.

Karlsson was like 5'10", 145lbs soaking wet at 17.

I'm talking about how they look on the ice.

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

For sure, but gambling on 2 of those guys in the top 10 is a bit rich for my taste.

 

[NotProkofievian]

1.) Draft Boqvist
2.) Trade Boqvist for K'Andre Miller
3.) Profit

On another note, I would fully support both Boqvist and Smith (if a first were to be traded to us). I'd be happy with Kotkaniemi with that extra pick, too.

But, outside of those (and Wahlstrom with our first, first), nothing really endears me to add another pick unless Kravtsov keeps falling like I think he will. But really, what I want is some combination of Wahlstrom/Kotkaniemi and Boqvist/Smith.

Wahlstrom and Boqvist is too OP

A boy can dream.

 

[G0bias]

As far as manlets go, as long as we don't have this happen to our D, I'm good.

 

[CapSpace]

Don't hate Edmonton.

f*** this teem runned by idiots that keep getting rewarded to be putrid.

 

[The Great Weal]

Dudas looks really good against the best CHL team.

 

[Video Coach]

Dudas looks really good against the best CHL team.

He's an interesting case. You'd had to think many teams would be scared off because of his size but he has incredible skill. We'll certainly have lots of chances to pick him. Interesting to see where he is on the Habs list.
