He's a great defenseman and all, but mostly we should pick him so this can be his goal song:

I absolutely love Merkley, but he does need to take some major steps in developing his defensive game this year. He doesn't need to become a shut-down guy but he does need to show that he understands the importance of being responsible in the defensive zone. In other words, he can't be another Ryan Sproul in terms of his development path.
I am a big Boqvist fan. He is certainly on my super early short list.
The best thing about our 2017 draft class is that we shouldn't be worried about taking a skilled undersized defensemen in the 2018 draft.

I think the biggest difference between boqvist and merkley is merkley loves the puck on his stick as much as possible so he can hold onto it and fire wristers. Boqvist, also talented with the puck, looks to pass it, he's probably the best break out passer in the draft.

Centres and dmen only apart from svechnikov
That's it
Skill above all else
Zadina is a LW. But could be the most skilled player on the board if we don't get lil svech or dahlin, do you take him? And let's just say he IS the most skilled player in the board at that time in the scenario
No. With the amount of skilled defenseman in this draft I have a hard time seeing him be much better than whichever one would be there.
I can agree with that. There's so many good defensemen in this draft I want to come away with one. I'm not sold on Boqvist/Merkley/Hughes but I really like Woo/McIsaac/Wilde (haven't looked at ty smith much yet). I'm a bpa first round guy.
I'll puke in my mouth if we draft Jet Woo. An undersized 2nd pairing NHL d man..

Ty Smith. Very yes.

Not really sure what he's lacking from a tools perspective to make you feel that way?

Trade Green, Mrazek, Athanasiou, Nyquist to get as many 1st as possible and hope for some lottery luck.
