Ive been surprised Newhook has been dropping since last year... I still think he looks fantastic.

At this rate, Turcotte is a legit possibility. Ducks are about to be passed by Arizona and maybe Florida/NYR too.
The teams I see that will definitely finish below us: LAK, OTT(COL), CHI, DET, NJ, PHI. Those teams are still significantly behind us and are just terrible rosters for the most part Everything else is up in the air from the looks of it

Totally agree. Byram will be gone before #8.
If they draft Turcotte or Newhook there is quite a few Dmen available later in the 1st & early 2nd round.
I'd steer clear of Honka of course, hoping in the 2nd round that Heinola is available or something.

Is there a reason Newhook is playing in the BCHL? I know he's a college commit but does that mean you can't play in the CHL before then?
Can't recall seeing many legit Canadian prospects opting to go the US college route - no doubt I'm horribly wrong on that front too

Playing in the CHL makes you ineligible for the NCAA. Makar is probably the most high profile Canadian to recently go the college route. He was a big riser in his draft year though. Newhook is probably one of the bigger names doing it in a while.

He would benefit from a growth spurt, yeah. He goes to the net and the dirty areas though. I think whoever lands him is getting a steal.

I think Caufield is DeBrincat 2.0. Pure sniper who is overlooked due to size. Pelletier is a bit more of a playmaker with excellent hockey IQ and insane creativity.

Just looked at the Ducks history with 3rd round picks: Andersen is the best Ducks 3rd rounder ever, then the next is Josh Mahura who has potential to be a top 4D.

Looks like Mike LeClerc and Nic Havelid were the only other two Ducks 3rd rounders to have significant tenure.

I'm not sold on Dach, at least not as a center. Today's NHL revolves around speed; Dach lacks speed. Meanwhile his counterpart, Cozens, finished BEST among all other top CHL prospects in the skating tests.
At this point in time, I think Cozens' skating is sufficiently better than Dach's to outweigh what minor difference in skill/vision may exist.

Let's not rebuild and say we did
It's worth mentioning that Getzlaf isn't exactly a great skater, either, but he's hung around in this rapidly evolving league and he's looked pretty dominant.
If Dach can slow the game down like Getzlaf does (and he certainly looks like he can be from what I'm seeing), then the speed won't be as big of an issue.
Just playing devil's advocate -- I'd probably rather have Cozens or even Turcotte around that range -- but just throwing it out there that Dach isn't another Peter Holland.

I'm hoping we at least get Turcotte, he's the kind of Center that has the speed to make the most out of Wingers like Terry, Comtois, Jones, Kase.

Vladislav Kolyachonok is a potential D pick in that range, and it would be neat to have a Belarusian patrolling the blueline again some day.
