No question that Kotkaniemi was my guy. No way he should be out of the top 10.Nice pick. It's who I would've taken at 13, but I think with Nichushkin/Guryanov not working out so far the Star's might stay away from Russian forwards. Not that that's really a great reason, but I can definitely see it being a factor.
I could see him not being in the top 10 but he will be gone by 15.No question that Kotkaniemi was my guy. No way he should be out of the top 10.
It would be a mistake imo. And Smith too, guy is a hidden gem.I could see him not being in the top 10 but he will be gone by 15.
I think this draft is a weird one. It’s got a lot of depth. Players that are top 10 guarantees Dahlin, Svechnikov, Zadina, Wahlstrom, Tkachuk, Dobson, Hughes, and Boqvist. The last 3 I could see being any of Bouchard, Smith, Kotkaniemi, Veleno, Farabee, Kravtsov.It would be a mistake imo. And Smith too, guy is a hidden gem.
Dahlin, Svechnikov, Wahlstrom, Hughes, Boqvist, Zadina, Dobson, Smith, Kotkaniemi and Bouchard is my top 10. Only tough call is choosing Boqvist or Hughes.I think this draft is a weird one.

Some team is going to fall in love with Tkachuk and take him.Dahlin, Svechnikov, Wahlstrom, Hughes, Boqvist, Zadina, Dobson, Smith, Kotkaniemi and Bouchard is my top 10. Only tough call is choosing Boqvist or Hughes.
Yeah I know Tkachuk is going top 10 for sure, he will definitely be a solid player. I just hope my team doesn't take him.Some team is going to fall in love with Tkachuk and take him.
Agreed. Stereotypical high floor low ceiling player in my mind. But I thought the same about Matthew Tkachuk so we will see.Yeah I know Tkachuk is going top 10 for sure, he will definitely be a solid player. I just hope my team doesn't take him.

Really hoping that they get one of Wahlstrom, Boqvist or Hughes. Would be disappointed otherwise.If MTL is picking outside the top 3, and while I do think they will love Tkachuk, I'm betting on them to take a defender.

No, I really doubt they take one of Boqvist/Hughes. I think it's a mistake, but I don't think they would take them. We haven't had a 1st round pick under 6ft in quite some time. It's either going to be Dobson or Wahlstrom, and I got a feeling it's going to be Dobson. They have been scouting him a lot lately.You think they'd take a smallish blueliner that high? I'm thinkin Dobson if all the d are still available.

He's a fine player, I just like Wahlstrom a lot more.Interesting take. I really don't think they could go wrong with Dobson, many (most?) consider him to be the most complete defender in the draft.
I feel like Wahlstrom is kind of like Drouin (could be entirely wrong as I have limited viewings) but he’s a little less polished I guess would be the word.He's a fine player, I just like Wahlstrom a lot more.
I see more GalchenyukI feel like Wahlstrom is kind of like Drouin (could be entirely wrong as I have limited viewings) but he’s a little less polished I guess would be the word.
