NHL Entry Draft 2018 Tank Thread | Why Not Us? Why Not Now? | Sens Finish 30th, TOP 5 PICK GUARANTEED

[BondraTime]

Tkachuk over Svechnikov isn't going to be a worry point for the Sens, or for anybody.

 

[BondraTime]

I wonder if Tkachuk could slide in the first round if other teams prefer the defenceman slated to go in the top ten.

There was a recent draft where a player kept sliding and ended up going so something like ten picks after he was supposed to go. I forget who that player was though.

That could happen to both Zadina and Tkachuk.
Well there was Connor/Barzel in 2015 who both fell well past there ranking

I think it was Cam Fowler I was thinking of.

 

[Agent Zub]

This again? Are you the same guy that asked me this exact same question be that i answered before?

I don't think that was me.

I'm just curious at what part of hockey Tkachuck is better at. Because aside from physicallity I don't think there's much.

Svehnikov is a Laine caliber player. While Tkachcuck is more Kadri caliber imo

But I'd love to hear a different opinion.

 

[MakeOttawaGreatAgain]

I think it was Cam Fowler I was thinking of.

Are you sure it wasn't Sean Couturier?? Everyone thought he would go top 5-10, and he went I think 12th?

Nah, he went 8th.

Pretty sure Fowler was supposed to go around 5-6 and he dropped to 12th.

 

[Tuna99]

Who?

Daniel Zadina

have you any information that the sens do in fact like svechnikov in the top 5? (not that they wouldn't but not sure if theyre leaning towards a d man)

Is he goes #2 Brady Tchatchuk at #4-5 might end up being the better player.

Rasmus Dahlin is the only game changer. The others will be solid prospects that help, but that's all they'll be.

Brady Tkachuk is not the guy the Sens should draft. Drafting a "character guy" in the top 5 is a recipe for disaster, however with this team's love for the intangibles, that will be the guy we pick, unfortunately. Shane Bowers has put up better numbers at Boston U and is only a few months older. Is anyone projecting Bowers to be a top 6 forward??

Hard pass on Tkachuk.

 

[BatherSeason]

Fight

Are you actually being serious?

 

[Tuna99]

Are you actually being serious?

Yes, I am pretty serious that Tchahuk is a better fighter then anyone in the top 5 of the draft.

Okay good, what if we draft #6 and he's the best player? Hard pass on him then?

 

[BatherSeason]

Yep, if we draft #6 and still plan on trading Karlsson, we give the pick to Colorado. Shouldn't even be a consideration.

Also, I have never heard anyone use fighting as a scouting metric for a projected top 10 pick. Is this the 70s?

the question was what does Brady do better the Svenickov and I answered fight. If you don't like the answer, don't ask.

 

[MakeOttawaGreatAgain]

Nah, he went 8th.

Oh wow, you're right! I got them backwards... thinking that you got them backwards

 

[BondraTime]

I have zero info on anything outside the Q, and have little information there.

It's just common sense, the difference in the ability of both is very easy to see.

That's what I thought you meant.

Yeah I don't see them passing on svechnikov. weve only heard about dorion at one barrie game tho.. hasn't he been to see zadina a few times? cant remember

No clue on Dorion, but Mann is in the Maritimes, a lot.

 

[The Lewler]

If sens pick #2 I don't see how they pass on Svechnikov.

Another high end winger to maybe play with Duchene ? Yes please.

It doesn't matter really you take the top talent available because it's going to help your roster out. We are set at no position currently outside of #1 RD and now #1C.

 

[DJB]

No, that was me and all you said was that he’s a better leader and more physical. That’s hardly enough to select him over Svechnikov.

It was far more explanation than that, but you have obviously formed your opinion and aren't deviating from it no matter the information that's provided to you which says otherwise

Also i never advocated to select Tkachuk over Svechnikov

I don't believe we've drafted a Russian player since Bashkirov in 2007. It's pretty easy to see how they pass on him, even if it wouldn't necessarily be the right move.

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

Albin Eriksson is very interesting, could be our Formenton pick. Really raw, one of the youngest in the draft, skates like the wind and has 6'4 frame, good hands too.

 

[Viletho]

I'm starting to be very intrigued by Evan Bouchard. His number of points as a Dman are massive.

How is defensive game been?

 

[Zorf]

I'm not super duper informed yet on guys outside of the top 6-7 because I had been assuming that Ottawa would be picking one of them.

So say Ottawa ends up in the 6-7-8 range, do you think it would be best to pick a guy there, give the pick to Colorado, or explore trading down? If they can drop to the 10-11-12 range and pick up a 2nd in the process, is that a better plan than the other two options?
