Prospect Info: Edmonton Oilers 2018 Draft Thread: Fallin for Dahlin Edition

[McDrai]

Thought I would kickstart the party. Has anyone seen much of Dahlin or other prospects in the top 10? Would like to gain some insight on some of these guys in case this season is a write off

Erik Karlsson lite? :p

Dahlin is a generational talent at D.

There is also another franchise level D and three franchise level forwards in the Top 5.

I appreciate this thread. The Oil Tank is back on after a 1 year hiatus.

So we draft one. Trade Drai and Nuge for a single lesser player each and repeat.

Adam Boqvist and Quinn Hughes look like good fits. We need guys who can generate offence out of nothing from the back end

It’s more likely they trade JP in that scenario.

The only reason why I would want the oilers to get dahlin is to see the reaction from 29 other boards--vegas fans are still just happy to be in the league at this point in time

I want to die

I just want the Oilers to win a cup in the next 3 years. Don't care how. If this guy is the missing piece so be it

That would be truly hilarious. I think a Dahlin is what this team is missing. I dont think we are bad enough to stay in the bottom 5 but who knows. Stranger things have happened

Well we're at the quarter pole of the season and I'm really starting to get nervous about making the playoffs. This wasn't supposed to happen. This team just isn't gelling so well this season.

Bottom 6 has been underachieving big time but not to much of a surprise considering their experience.

I didn't think losing Sekera was going to make such a huge impact. Sure a few extra losses but being tied for 28th overall has me rethinking Sekera's value to this team. Don't get me wrong I think Sekera is great and makes a huge impact to our PP, just didn't see us talking draft lottery at this point of the season, or even at any point of this season.

If we are in this position at the end of the year, a clear house cleaning will have to happen behind the bench and front office.

Then unequivocally we'll be looking at adding Dahlin.

We should look at all players ranked top 6 really.

 

[RandomGuy79]

Time for the tank I think, start selling off assets to the highest bidder and go for the top pick.

 

[Cloned]

We should look at all players ranked top 6 really.

Dahlin, Tkachuk, and Svechnikov all bring pretty much the complete package as far as size and skill go. The others (Quinn, Boqvist) have some size concerns, and Zadina's top end ceiling is a little questionable.

Sigh. I was just getting used to a year where I didn't have to familiarize myself with the Top 5 picks.

Chia is going to trade our 1st, so this thread is going to break more hearts.
add salt to the wound. LOL

 

[Joey Moss]

Just like the good old days

Well you could begin by doing a forum search and look up the actual draft-talk thread on here.

Been posting quite a bit there...

This thread looks familiar.....
.... Oh wait. That was falling for Hall. I guess there are only so many words in the english language when you suck as bad as the Oil.

So it's come to this.

Go Eskimos!

Man, if they lose tomorrow, I'm just going to go into a long, long self-imposed sports hibernation/depression.

At least the Rush are good.

Oh wait.

Excited to watch the Oilers new prospect at the WJC's this year with Sweden.
