D Ryan Merkley - Peterborough Petes, OHL (2018, 21st, SJS)

[hawkeerox]

Gonna be a steal for the Leafs with the 54th pick in the draft.

54th!!! That would be sweet for the Leafs if falls that far...

 

[JK2K]

18th

 

[schnapshot]

25

 

[Lion Hound]

26th OA

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Either late first or early second

 

[Apotheosis]

Any team who picks him in the first round will be sorry.

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

He's a guy I could see being turned into a winger. I don't see how he's going to make it work as a defenseman.

 

[Flamesfan62]

22nd

 

[JumpierPegasus]

31st

I don't like him but a team won't let him slip out of the first so he will be the last selection

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

FWIW TankNation has him at #19 to Columbus.

 

[Team Cozens]

#32

 

[MarAlain MongYeo]

43

 

[kudla]

#12

 

[dangomon]

18. I think someone takes a chance on his skill, its undeniable if you can sort out that pile of dung between his ears.

 

[Maplebeasts]

I don't think he's worth a first round pick at all but I see him going somewhere around 25. Some team is going to fall in love with his skill and ignore the mountain of red flags.

 

[OregonCanuck]

16

 

[Chainshot]

#32

Hope not.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Someone who sucks at drafting like San Jose will take him in the first.

 

[CraigBillington]

I see nyr or Chicago takin him, a team with multiple firsts

 

[McKappa]

I would pick him with the oilers second pick but I think he goes maybe around 30ish.

 

[BigRangy]

66

This.

I actually see the Wings taking him with the Vegas 1st rd pick so whichever position that ends up being. Detroit needs a puck mover in a BIG way and despite his many flaws, he's one of the best in that regard.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Sens use the Pens pick to take him late in the 1st

 

[Tripod]

#35 to Montreal
