Did he? Haven't seen anything about that. Calgary had no problem flipping 16.how can you criticize Holland for there being no team that wanted to trade up to 14?
he made it clear as day that he tried to trade down.

Where was Rafkin ranked before the draft? Decent numbers, fair bit of pim's to

My bad. Any quotes saying that Holland was looking to trade back? I didn't hear anything like that?Calgary was at 19 and the Rangers got the defenseman they wanted there so no reason for them to trade up to 14.

I know Makar was really successful in the AJHL. Not sure about other comparables though.I went with a B. Holloway is my kind of player but I am concerned about offense.
For later picks the next two seem very good.
The rest really are who cares so for having a 1st and then 4th etc it's hard to imagine much better under the circumstances.
On a related note does drafting players who are primarily successful in the AJHL typically lead to successful nhl careers? Any comparables.
There isn’t a tonne, Dany Heatley is one I remember, and I think he played college in his draft year as well, but he shredded it.I know Makar was really successful in the AJHL. Not sure about other comparables though.
I think Letestu played in the AJHL as well actually.There isn’t a tonne, Dany Heatley is one I remember, and I think he played college in his draft year as well, but he shredded it.
Colton Parayko started there also but was really raw then, didn’t really come into his own till college.
From googling I see Pisani played in the AJHL in his draft year.
Makar really isn’t a comparable, for guys that play in AJHL, Makar was possibly the best player for his age I’ve seen in that league, I watched about 10 of his games in his draft year, he was insane. His play at the WJAC was what got him where he got picked, scouts were there to watch Andrei Svechnikov and got a show from Makar, who was kind of thought to be just producing because of the league he was in. But it was clear he was on another level

Solid draft from the Oilers minus the two last picks but nothing overly impressive either.
Engaras has already been a captain multiple times, so that has to count for something
It was on the radio. Near the end of their coverage on Ched yesterday.My bad. Any quotes saying that Holland was looking to trade back? I didn't hear anything like that?
I know Holloway but don’t know Jack about the others. I’ll read up and see what we got. I don’t like that they’re all forwards for starters.
Fair point. Still, you still have to trade to fill holes at some point.that’s my favorite part. By far the biggest weakness in the system at all levels. Got a good mix of College, Euro and talents.
That kid's a legendPretty good interview on Oilers website, seems really mature and responsible. Not Mazura good though. I would say he seems like a likeable kid but hes 21 lol.
