[Llamamoto]

Quinn
Jarvis
Askarov
Peterka/Holloway
Bourque (I prefer him over JJ and Holloway, but I think he's too risky a pick for the Oilers)
Perrault

Although you're missing a bunch of guys. Mercer, Reichel, Gunler, Zary, Lundell, etc...

 

[Cloned]

Jarvis.

 

[Joey Moss]

Jarvis
Askarov
Quinn

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

I voted Jarvis here just because I voted for Quinn in the other thread. Both would be great picks.

Askarov is tempting though.

Reichel, Gunler, and Zary are ranked in the back half of the draft. I don't see the Oilers going for Mercer. Lundell will most likely be picked before us but if he falls to us, that's a convo to have.

 

[McDoused]

50/50 on Quinn and Jarvis.

If my goaltending scouts/coaches are screaming at me to draft someone they think will be a franchise goaltender, I listen.

I mean Tippett was going to sit down with Schwartz before game one to figure out a starter and that never went well. Not sure what Schwartz's opinion was, but as fans we've never trusted him before.

That's fair. I just think goaltenders are a whole different mess. I would trust the people that I'm paying to be able to scout these kids to tell me how good this kid is and defer to the experts.

If you cant count on your goaltenderkng staff and scouts then maybe they should find a job elsewhere.

Askarov (he won't be there)

The Mighty Quinn.

 

[Dan Kelly]

Quinn.
Jarvis.
Mercer.
Zary.
Bourque.
Perreault
Paterka.

if we got one of these guys then i think we will be fine. having said that, i'm not against trading down for one of these guys and getting extra picks like Holland has talked about.

 

[GOilers88]

I'd like them to roll the dice on Askarov if he's there, don't care what anyone says.

Otherwise I think trading it for a proven player is what we need.

 

[Blacktape]

Quinn as the pick if available
but since he will be gone before the Oilers pick, I really like Jacob Perreault as a pick.
And it's may be possible to trade down and get him and a second rounder.

 

[OilfaninTO]

It would be CLASSIC Oilers (and just a perfect cap to a crappy year) to do something like draft a goalie at 14.

With the Dylan Holloway mention from Pronman, it's kinda funny he doesn't have any votes yet.

At least Askarov could potentially become a #1. A guy like Holloway is on a one way ticket to the bottom 6

What do you think of him? I'm not sure who I'd take between him and Mercer if they were the 'BPA' (Quinn, Jarvis etc already taken). I'd take either of them before trading down or taking Askarov though.

Edit: Apologies if you already gave a run-down, I can search for the post

I don't have any opinion on him. Definitely not the one to ask. Just thought it was kind of funny considering he's been linked to us.

My tiers:

Jarvis Askarov

Mercer Quinn Lundell Holtz

Perreault Bourque Holloway Peterka Zary


Jarvis might work extremely well in Edmonton's offense. He's a bit like Yamamoto with a great motor and great hands, just a little bit bigger. Jarvis will more than keep pace, he'll be the one pushing it. His feet, hands, and brain are all very quick, so if you need one-touch give-and-go plays with 97 & 29, he's your guy.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Quinn
Jarvis
Dawson Mercer

 

[Stoneman89]

They say Quinn is a pure shooter. That's exactly what we lack up front.

With the Dylan Holloway mention from Pronman, it's kinda funny he doesn't have any votes yet.

Because much like last year when Pronman was one of the first to leak the Broberg pick, the fan base instinctively goes against. Our picks have been leaked a tonne lately, Yamamoto was reported by Ryan Kennedy the day before the draft, Bouchard was reported the day of the draft in the sense Rishaug said we liked a D and wanted him over Dobson, Broberg was leaked last year, and Holloway is the first one we’ve heard this year, so wouldn’t shock me if our pick is Holloway.

People don’t like him because he didn’t light up the league, but he had a solid second half, on a bad team, and not many guys play NCAA in their draft year, even though he is oldish for his draft year.
