June 11 - Oilers Now Seg 3 - Mark Edwards - HockeyProspect.com - Oilers NOW with Bob Stauffer - Omny.fm
Towards the end of the interview Mark Edwards goes into some detail on why he has Merkley on the No Draft List.
So you know nothing about him and decided organizations are dumb for writting him off? Seems reasonable.Teams are really stupid it seems like. It's the same reason that Sprong into the 2nd round in 2015, teams put way too much emphasis on personalities in drafts. As long as a dude isn't a wife beater or something like that, I genuinely don't care about his personality. Now, this is assuming that teams are saying no to him due to attitude issues, which seems to be the most likely reason.
What is the actual issue with Merkley? I see he's bad defensively and has questions about his work ethic, is that it?
My guess is a team hopes h drops to the middle of late second round. Is the time for miss informationConstanino referenced HoSang and Deangelo as well.
He says that there is numerous amount of teams that under no circumstance would they draft Ryan Merkley.
25 apparentlyDoes anyone know how many interviews he had?
I'm sure plenty of teams wouldn't want someone like him even around their prospects at prospect/training camp.
What I wonder about is, if Ryan Merkley (hypothetically) was sitting there in the 7th round, how many of those teams would still pass on him.
As for the issues, ask @93LEAFS. He seems pretty in tune with some of Merkleys issues, and it goes beyond not caring
Habs with : #3, #35, #38, #56, #62, #66, #97, #102, #122 & #128please leafs be one of the teams with him on the no draft list.
id say the team that gambles on him has a ton of picks this year, kind of like get 3 or 4 kids in the first 2-3 rounds then throw a pick at merkely. Not sure who has a lot of picks

If Merkely was available at the Leafs pick I would be really excited.
doesn't change a thing but #62 is also a 2nd, we're 31 team nowthere you go, 3 2nds habs rebuilding/retooling I can see them using a later 2nd early 3rd on him maybe

I'll be all for it if let's say a Veleno, Hayton (lees likely) fall, but we're not that stacked on prospects, we need these good young players. Having a top end one (3rd overall) plus 4 2nd and an early 3rd is exactly what we wanted. In the 2nd I like Wise, Dellandrea, Groulx, Khovanov, McBain, Gustafsson, Fonstad, Beaudin, Dudasyeah I knew that but just miscounted somehow. 4 2nds! that's some currency, might be able to use a couple to trade into the back end of the 1st round there too
so you managed to admit you have no idea what's going on while pumping the tires of a Penguins prospect and calling teams stupid. Impressive postTeams are really stupid it seems like.
