Does the Coyotes have scouts in Finland?
DoneI'm going to have to rewatch a couple Memorial Cup games, I suppose. Dobson's shifts, anyway.
Interesting that the Coyotes are having Tkachuk out to Phoenix (this has been confirmed) but Dobson said that nobody invited him out anywhere (so not Phoenix). I wish we could get a full list of the kids we are flying out. Somebody ask Craig Morgan to find out! Can someone with a Twitter account poke Morgan and see if he can get this scoop for his podcast or for a pre-draft article?

If Tkachuk is available at 5 will likely mean Zadina is gone, if Tkachuk is picked 3rd or 4th it could mean Zadina is available. Brady would look great in a Habs or Sens jersey!There was also a front-page story on the Coyotes' website about the Tkachuk brothers. So I'm guessing that if Tkachuk is there at 5, we're tkaking him. Sigh.
We plan on taking whatever guy your team likes the most.Hey guys. Sharks fan here. You seem like you’re in a very interesting position at the draft. Given that both Zadina and Svechnikov are gone, do you see your team leaning toward Wahlstrom or someone like Dobson, Hughes, etc?
Well I mean I’m a Sharks fan so I doubt any of those guys are available at 21 anyway. I’m just genuinely curious. It seems to me like your team needs D immediately that’s why I have them taking Dobson (who in my opinion is going to end up being the most well rounded D of the draft after Dahlin) as a kind of stabilizer but at the same time Hughes is very intriguing here and also Wahlstrom’s skill is undeniable.We plan on taking whatever guy your team likes the most.
Seriously, I think the team will go with a C or D before a winger if those two names are off the board (although I really like Tkachuk). There are a number of posters here who really like Wahlstrom. I don't blame them.
If Zadina isn’t there, my pick hands down, by a fat Margin is Wahlstrom.
Same. I could live with Dobson or Kotkaniemi too.

I’d be upset for about two hours but in the end I could live with it

It would absolutely not surprise me if Marc Bergevin is telling prospects to leak that he is going C or D, or if he's purposely telling these prospects that in hopes that one of them might tell the media like Zadina did here.
Marc Bergevin is a strange person.
None of us have any idea. If you held a gun to my head and forced me to guess the Coyotes actual draft list, in the interest of preserving my life so that I can continue to support my family (haha)Hey guys. Sharks fan here.

Because Demers isn’t very good and if you want to compete you need another top 4 D in my opinion. I don’t know much about your prospects but just looking only one I can see coming out is POJ.Here’s our D currently:
OEL, Demers, Chychrun, Goligoski, and Hjalmarsson
Why do we need D immediately?
Demers at $3M is fine. POJ is a couple years away but a very good prospect.Because Demers isn’t very good and if you want to compete you need another top 4 D in my opinion. I don’t know much about your prospects but just looking only one I can see coming out is POJ.
