This poll doesn't regard playoff teams.

If your team lands the 3rd overall pick this upcoming draft, which player are you taking? (Assuming Hughes/Kakko are gone)

Comment what team you're a fan of, and who you would take with the 3rd pick.

Podkolzin for the Rangers. The Russian trio of Kravstov, Shestorikin, and Podkolzin will be the future for the team.

I am a huge Turcotte fan, so him. Obviously Byram would fill more of a need for Vancouver and I would be fine with him too.

Wings are really lacking on the blue line, and some of the young forwards are showing promise, so probably Byram.

In a vacuum, I really like what I've seen of Turcotte.

For Montreal, I'd say Dach or Byram. Byram is probably the bigger need, but d-men can be kind of finicky. Still, may as well go for him. He's got size, skill, smarts, and is a lefty.

Oilers fan - it's Byram or Turcotte for me.

Id probably rank those guys like this:

Byram
Turcotte
Dach
Zegras
Cozens

Podkolzin isn't even a consideration for me. I don't like him at all.

I like Podkolzin, but I defintely agree with you. I don't think he is 3OA caliber imo

Wasn't being a jerk, just was a off a few letter so I thought it was somebody I was unaware of. Was he suspended or something for round 1 of the playoffs? I was shocked to see him not starting.

Oh, yea, that will be a name that takes me a bit to not misspell haha.

Ya he got tossed out of game 3 and suspended for 4 (Bottom video). SKA has always rotated the goalies, reg season and playoffs (which is insane IMO), been like that for the last 4-5 years.

If the team that picks first could really use a D, then Byram. If not, then I would pick Podkolzin.

I like Turcotte, but can't ignore the fact that Podkolzin seems like he's becoming a consensus #3

IMO Turcotte is closer to Kakko and Hughes than he is to the rest of these players so yeah...

what team do you root for

Oilers and I think he’s absolutely the right pick for us.

We have a pretty solid group of D prospects and he’d arguably give us one of the best group of D prospects in the NHL:
Byram
Bouchard
Samorukov
Bear
Jones
Lagesson
Day

For the Hawks Byram is the best pick. We don't have any super outstanding LHD prospects other then Beaudin and getting one with an elite potential gives us a very strong outlook for the future of the defense.
