Castle's Final First Round 2018 draft

[Castle8130]

My final list based on observations and who I see is the best player in terms of talent and undeveloped talent.

1. Dahlin
2. Svechnikov
3. Hughes
4. Zadina
5. Tkachuk
6. Boqvist
7. Bouchard
8. Dobson
9. Kotkaniemi
10. Wahlstrom
11. Farabee
12. Berggren
13. Hayton
14. Smith
15. Veleno
16. Bokk
17. Kupari
18. Kaut
19. Tychonick
2o. Kravtsov
21. Thomas
22. Merkley
23. Mcisaac
24. Denisenko
25. Olofsson
26. Noel
27. Wise
28. Sandin
29. Wilde
30. Lundestrom
31. Hallander

The main issues I have been having when making this list, is Dobson/Bouchard. Where to put them and to determine if they are as good as their stats say. By that, I mean they haven't played many tournaments this year against tougher competition than their respective leagues. I have seen video on both of them all year long in their leagues. Make any comments and criticisms you want and remember, this isn't a mock

Favorites: (I like them all)
Denisenko
Thomas
Tychonick
Hughes
Bouchard
Boqvist
Tkachuk


Least favorites:
Noel
Wilde
Merkley

I’d be thrilled if Wahlstrom was available at 10. Having Berggren at 12 is a brave pick, but he is an interesting player with skill in spades.
